  • Yay! I get to repost my comment about Disco Season 5 that got me banned from Ten Forward:

    Regarding how the writers failed with their Spore Drive conclusion in Season 5:

    The idea of the lone inventor wasn’t even true a hundred years ago. When I took a history of technology class at University over 30 years ago, that fact was driven into us. All discoveries are the result of researchers standing on the shoulders of giants. Destroying all Spore drive research is meaningless because there are hundreds of billions of people spread across thousands of planets. The Federation isn’t even the entire Alpha quadrant so there are hundreds of billions of other people with no restrictions. So someone else is going to almost immediately re discover spore drive because the technology and knowledge base for its discovery are built into society.

    I hope the above opinion doesn’t get me banned here too.




  • I have a Retroid 3 plus. I’m not buying another Android handheld. They don’t make any sense. You have long boot times, and if you rely on sleep it needs constant charging. A game controller on an Android phone is a better experience in every way.

    I have had several Anbernics and a Miyoo Mini. My favorite is the Miyoo because you turn it on and in seconds you are where you left off. When you turn it off, it auto saves and goes completely off so the battery isn’t dead the next time you want to play.

    Linux Anbernics can do this too it’s just the Miyoo boot time is faster.











  • “he allowed sale to go through”

    Following Congress is doing his job. Part of Trump’s dictatorship is ignoring Congress such as when he fired federal staff whose money was determined by Congress.

    Republicans didn’t exterminate Gazan children

    Trump promised it. He has continued that promise.

    Joe Biden and the Democrat leadership have children’s blood on their hands

    You keep reaffirming what I said.

    Democrats: We will support Palestine but won’t stop selling weapons.

    Republicans: We promise to exterminate Palestine.

    Your Maga hat is slipping into view.





  • Bad luck? I have very high levels of mica sediment in my well that my immediate neighbors do not have. I asked my neighbors when I moved in and none of them had that problem. The well company said that they usually drill a new well.

    A few miles away a neighbor has such high radon that they need special filters that need to be disposed of by a professional company because it needs to be treated as a radiation hazard. I have no radon in my water.

    As someone else said for lead, if you have old soldered copper pipes, that could be your lead problem.

    A professional company can install water treatment to make your water safe. The well pump salesman showed off some of the crazy systems that they had done. One was a system of really large water tanks connected to a very large Reverse Osmosis system to deal with a well that had bad water quality.
