Ok lol now I realize you're just trolling and probably aren't even a delivery driver. Almost had me going for a sec there gg.
When you need to add anti features (like poor error case handling like this or the whole "auto save only works if the file is on one drive!") to encourage users to upgrade their product, it's a sign the service doesn't offer enough value on its own.
Which is funny because cloud storage is a good idea on its own but it's been so enshitified in Microsoft's case that I don't trust what they are doing behind the scenes. Like they could be training AIs on everyone's cloud data for all we know to make a few extra bucks.
I suspect that he didn't want to help Trump in 2020 but Putin has compromat (think about his scene in Borat 2), so he went along with it but self-sabotoged (like doing that press release in front of a landscaping company and being completely unprepared for that court appearance). Putin saw through it and pulled any support he would have otherwise gotten from others that are compromised (or even turned them against him), after which cases against him were able to proceed.
Or it was actual incompetence and Putin no longer wanted to waste energy protecting him.
Or they figured someone had to take a fall after that and let it be Rudy.
Plus the ship's computer was able to simulate bleeding edge physics and do advanced problem solving. Between holograph emitters and that computer, I'm not sure why they needed mortals running the ships, other than for fun.
If it took more than "safety protocols off" then the federation would have never existed due to earth being assimilated/destroyed by the Borg right around the time they discovered warp flight. And if they waited for after that flight, they could assimilate the passing Vulcans, too, though all they'd have to do is warp with the enterprise after taking that over and someone would have come to give them some ships to get started with.
The big question would have been if the new alpha quadrant Borg faction would have joined the OG Delta faction or would have been a rival.
Though I'm not sure why the Borg adaptive shields didn't stop the bullets, since they were energy-based rather than ballistic, and wouldn't have been designed to use phasing to defeat enemy shields.
Reminds me of "goof", which was used endearingly in my family growing up, like "silly goof". Later, when my circle overlapped with some wannabe gangsters, I find out some considered it one of the worst insults you could give.
Plus in Geordie's case, his visor gives him better than normal sight. He can look at parts of the electromagnetic spectrum other than the visible wavelengths, so restoring his natural sight would have been giving him a handicap rather than removing one.
Also the whole "that disability is a part of who they are" sounds a lot like reducing people to their disabilities. Like it's one thing if there's nothing that can be done or if the best we can do isn't enough to cause it to no longer be a disability, then they should be accepted disability and all. But it's another thing if the disability could be corrected or made redundant (like Geordie's visor giving him better than normal vision).
I don't think the timing will work out for me, but if cybernetics get going during my lifetime, I'd consider getting augmentations. A coprocessor and memory expansions would be great, though I'd probably need tin foil hats or a magneto helmet to protect from solar flares and EMPs.
It's crazy to me that some people think improving people's capabilities, disabled or not, is unethical. No one bats an eye if someone gets a broken arm set properly to avoid it becoming a disability.
I wish they'd just use the postal service. In Canada they've set up nice secure package boxes and leave a key in your normal (also secured) mailbox. And if it takes a few days to arrive, so be it.
They should change extra for packages too large or urgent for Canada Post and use that money to hire professionals that understand not everything revolves around their delivery schedule and that random cyclists that happen to be passing through the area have nothing to do with their orders.
Also has to do with most of their competitors trying to come in immediately with anti-consumer practices or being a company already known for them.
Like as soon as I saw epic was paying game companies for exclusive access, I decided to skip whatever games actually went for it.
I don't trust a publically traded company to not enshitify by focusing on "more money" rather than setting up a sustainable business.
That's why I don't have issues with valve, even if their 30% cut is a bit high. Steam has been dominating its market for like 20 years now and the worst they've done that I know of is display some ads for games when you start up. But even that IMO could be used as an example of how to do ads right because a) they are relevant to the thing you're doing, b) don't rely on sharing of data between steam and who knows who else (not that I have any certainty there isn't any data sharing going on), c) the window can just be closed and doesn't try to fight for your attention. And I can't even recall seeing it much recently.
Plus I'd say that they provide value by dominating that space and being the standard that any new players need to compete with.
And even if the question isn't being asked in good faith, just dismissing it might feel like you're showing them up, but someone who would be convinced by the bad faith question isn't going to change their mind when they see a "just Google it, it's so simple".
And even for those that do search it, who knows what sources they end up looking at. "Oh, 9/10 oil execs say it's actually ok while the 1/10 remaining just laugh when asked, so it must be ok! Oh and Fox News confirms it!" Buys another unnecessarily large truck.
Oh is that why some trees hurt so much?
Or just another reason why a tree might hurt so much?
Are they even trees or just more spiders?
Running is when all feet leave the ground at some point during the strides, so any animal that runs could have a similar image taken when the front legs finish pushing off the ground and the back legs are in position to start their push.
Except for humans, because we still alternate legs while running and don't have bodies parallel to the ground that our legs would end up tucked against during part of a run. Though you could still get a picture where we're entirely airborne if you time it right and it's a run rather than a fast walk.
