Spock and Chewbacca is an interaction I never knew I wanted. Or Data

It's interesting that people try to explain this away with all kinds of retroactive in-universe technobabble. I mean, I enjoy Star Wars just as much as the next guy but it's abundantly clear that SW wasn't meant to be investigated at this level. It's space mythology, not hard science fiction. And that's fine! We can have fun asking things like "Why is the Outer Rim considered a backwater if it only takes a few hours to get from galactic center to the rim?" and we don't really have to stress about answers to those things as fans. Edit: Or we can if that's what fans enjoy doing, but it just isn't my thing and I think that's ok too

Who would win, a B-17 Flying Fortress with no bombs, or the USS Missouri?

Edit: Also the Missouri can fly too, but it's a little less maneuverable, usually

The Millennium Falcon would destroy the Enterprise somehow. Then Kirk and crew would be stranded on a planet until they find a way to get aboard and commandeer the Falcon. Ultimately they would use it to go back in time and save the whales or something

No no, I think he said "it's my-SSN-is-58385747 biased, friend who lives at 2747 Maple Street"

Yeah, the admins deserve all our support on this. Not only to protect themselves as server owners, but to stop the spread. Hopefully a longterm solution will be found soon

I'm not gonna lie, you got me with that one. I looked it up because I genuinely couldn't tell if this was a joke or not. Kudos!

Nice, thanks for the recommendations!

Yeah tbh I think people totally misunderstand algorithms. I mean, hot is driven by an algorithm, as are the other sort methods, too, albeit simple algorithms. What we really want to avoid are profit-driven and invasive algorithms. But algorithms to boost discoverability for small communities could be really beneficial

Is there actually a major phone company defaulting to shipping their phones with C to C???
