It's weird the admin is like this. tenforward.social is a Trekkie instance, and we Trekkies are by and large a socially progressive bunch, and wouldn't take lightly that their admin is being a piece of trash like this. It's even against their own TOS:

I'm betting most users have no idea their admin is doing this.

It should be regulated.

Consider they're a 30+ mile, hour+ drive away, this is giving me even less of a reason to go, and I happen to like Ikea. But free coffee isn't going to remotely make up for my gas mileage, so I guess I'll continue to shift my furniture needs elsewhere. =/

It's also important to note that our LD crew are all bridge crew. We've seen that they have shifts at the helm and engineering/science/ops stations regularly, so putting them in charge really isn't that big of a stretch if the senior staff need to be off-ship for the more important role of the mission. They're basically babysitting the Cerritos and fending off hails from Starfleet.

To play it all out: why the heck is Nick Locarno flying around in a little ship capable of disabling the systems on larger warships, transporting(?) the ships and crews to some planet while leaving wreckage behind?

He's not. He's making deals with the lower deckers of those ships to make it look like his ship can do all that. They say in the episode that the lower deckers of the kidnapped crews are disabling the shields and weapons. Then he makes off with the crews and some of their technology for reasons yet unknown, abandoning the command staff on planet Knife Rain to fend for themselves.

It's really wild that they straight up nuked CS:GO for this and it both performs worse on higher end machines (reports of stuttering when ragdolls activate or shaders load in are rampant) AND it's missing the casual war games modes like Arms Race.

It's definitely both. A lot of folks don't understand that insects and shellfish are similar, and I've yet to see "product may contain insect meal / aggravate shellfish allergies" on things that have crickets or are processed in facilities that handle insect meal. So, the FDA likely needs to catch up. But, it's also a cheap filler protein that's easily grown, and companies are cheap bastards, so it's going to slowly find its way in and push out more expensive protein options.

I do sincerely worry about insects being added as filler materials as time goes on. I have a shellfish allergy, and the same allergens that exist in the shells of shellfish also exist in most insects.

I've played around with it for personal amusement, but the output is straight up garbage for my purposes. I'd never use it for work. Anyone entering proprietary company information into it should get a verbal shakedown by their company's information security officer, because anything you input automatically joins their training database, and you're exposing your company to liability when, not if, OpenAI suffers another data breach.

You can literally just Google "phone in bed fire" and find article after article after article about it.

I still cannot believe there is a game for kids that recommends they set up a fire hazard in their beds.

A ton of the shit comes straight from the board of directors, who will no longer have a board because MS is absorbing and buying out all shareholders.

We know Bobby is leaving for a fact as well, as he has a buyout clause in his contract.

Short term, this is excision of a cancer from the industry. Long term this kind of consolidation is bad for competition. I'll be happy when MS gets inevitably trust busted.
