Naw it was perfectly clear. People just need to read past the first sentence.

Seriously! I know that BLUF is a thing but do that many people seriously not read past the first line before feeling the need to correct someone on the internet? @ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca as a fellow member of the human race let me formally thank you for forming a question, seeking out information that either confirms or denies your question, and informing everyone else who may have had the same misconception.

"lopsided" font plate was almost a badge of honor back in the day lol because it meant that you had a front mount intercooler that needed air (and if you did the offset plate without an FMIC you were ridiculed endlessly for being a buffoon)

You know where the door is.

I agree that cybersecurity features should be included. In fact I think they should be included for free. The problem is that Microsoft wanted to charge the Department of Defense and it sounds like they used politics to make sure they could, and if true then they (and maybe also the DoD?) may have violated some federal laws around government procurement and "gifts" from contractors to the government.

Unironically this movie is in my top 5 favorite trek movies. It counts.

I can't speak for other countries, the EU banned it a while ago, but up until very recently a lot of citrus drinks over here in the U.S. used a chemical called Brominated Vegetable Oil as a stabilizer/emulsifier I think? So at least in the U.S. there can be fats in some sodas. Maybe enough for the THC?

If you're particularly lazy and want to check how a plant is doing you can even just microwave to activate it. put it in a glass cup with a damp paper towl under it, cover with a second damp paper towl, cover in plastic wrap except a small gap like you're making a microwave dinner. Cook for a minute at a time on 20-30% power and let the steam release between cooks. Do that 2-3 times then remove nug from container and let it sit a few minutes on a plate or something.

The Orville got MUCH less satirical in season 2 and even more so in season 3. There are still jokes for sure but I would struggle to call any of it mean spirited. There's even this old home video TOS skit that Seth MacFarlane and his friend's did in high school. I assume Seth or someone let the writers off their leashes when they didn't get sued by Paramount in Season 1.

Sorry to necro this but I just saw in the latest LTT vid that apparently Microsoft did go through with this plan? They were talking about it in the context of the diskless xbox that just released. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/how-to-transfer-content-licenses/7ac76f4e-c7e4-4153-8824-1e424478b02d
