So, given your work history, where do you stand on the Clerks deathstar contractor debate?

As someone that grew up on well water and the wasteland that is American health insurance for dental care that has resulted in me spending tens of thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours of time, and suffering through at least twice (probably more) as many head X-rays as my peers I know exactly how this is going to play out for an entire generation.

It's probably more painful, expensive, and traumatic than you can imagine. Tooth pain is easily the worst I've ever experienced. Tooth infections are also particularly risky and left untreated or under treated will absolutely kill people.

I feel like all the photos this singular animal has suddenly appeared in pretty much proves that if cryptids like Bigfoot existed we'd have much better photos evidence of them.

Same reason anyone has played any of the thousands of games that predate "the cloud" or games that don't even have a save feature. Cloud saves? No thanks, never have, maybe never will.

Besides, if you're not paying for the service, you're the product not the consumer.

Wow, what a dumb and toxic take.

Thanks for further proving my point.

Ditto. The plastics floss/pick combos work even better. Being thinner and super flexible, they are less likely to cause damage and reach the tiny crevices better.

You just repeated your claims without explaining them or backing them up with any details. You sound like someone selling essential oils and crystals as medicine. Try again?

Whoa there. Are you seriously gatekeeping sci-fi? Don't be a jerk.

Just the MCU characters with an obvious sci-fi backstory: Tony Stark, Hulk (an actual scientist), everyone in Guardians of the Galaxy. Even Thor is actually an alien using Sci-Fi tech. Bucky Barnes is a cybernetic super soldier. There's the Nazi scientist from Hydra that transferred his consciousness into a computer. Fucking Vision and his love story with Wanda. Black Panther may mix in some mystical drug, but his suit and all the other toys are all science fiction.

I'm not arguing that ANY of these are great science fiction stories, but they are still undeniably science fiction. Sci-fi stories are often also something else: horror, action, humanist, dramatic, comedy, or all of the above.

Not every science fiction story needs to use the obvious sci-fi tropes either. Ursula K Le Guin wrote a bunch of very influencial science fiction stories that you could be forgiven for classifying as fantasy and have very little shiny tech in them.

Hardlinking files to their new destination and your normalized naming schema. Using symlinks would be madness.

In certain contexts the opinions of some federal officials is quite a bit more than "simply giving an opinion". The most obvious examples being the chairman of the Federal Reserve and the Commerce Secretary.
