Janeway’s POV:

Crossposting usually favors the older post in most UIs I’ve used. Which is good for general browsing but not ideal for growing a community. I feel like !nyt_gift_articles@sopuli.xyz suffers from this sometimes since articles shared there are also shared in other news / politics communities first.

That’s to say I don’t really have an answer for you, lol, but subscribed.

There’s the LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device). It’s directional, but there’s side/rear leakage. This seems to be fully directional and works via a different method. Or, at least, that’s my understanding.

We’re so far beyond satire at this point, I have absolutely no idea if that’s real or a joke lol

Some Lemmy clients let you group communities. Depending on what communities you group together, it’s kind of like that. But like @dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world said, it sounds good on paper but the logistics become crazy once you factor in things like moderation and culture clashes.

Do you have space to compost? Cardboard will eventually break down once you get all the tape / labels off of it. Not sure what happens to the ink, but my (non-food) garden doesn’t seem to mind it.

Another option, if the boxes are in good shape / large enough, is to donate them as moving boxes. Put up an ad on some local classifieds listings (whatever form works best) and maybe check with local thrift/secondhand shops to see if they want them.

Heh, at first, I was mentally comparing it to the LRAD but those still have a lot of rear and side leakage and aren’t truly unidirectional. They also work on completely different principles.

But since every technology is eventually weaponized, I fully expect to see SASERs if/when this makes it out of the lab lol.

Early on, Neelix was making some things similar to coffee, and I guess they foraged it from a planet. One of those coffee-like concoctions was chunky / goopy. I think a couple of times later in the series they differentiate between “coffee” and “Neelix’s coffee” so I guess he got better at it or the crew developed a taste for it.

I guess the same reason we go to coffee shops instead of just making it at home. Plus, early on, they were still rationing replicator usage, but this is from season 5 after they mostly abandoned that. In this one, though, all but a few of the replicators are down because of the subspace sandbar they were stuck in.

This morning, I’d absolutely settle for a cup of Neelix’s chunky “better than coffee”

I was on a work trip in rural Pennsylvania in 2008 or so, and I stopped at this local dive on my way back to the hotel.

The house special was something called a Guiness-tini, and I do not recommend it. Probably goes down about the same as that shot of Malort.

(“Magic Carpet Ride” intensifies)

I loving them!

Don’t you mean it the other way around?

Usually it’s the other way around for me, but I grew up in Redneckville, US.
