Maybe? There are a ton of shitty BT implementations in the wild that will never get patched. This does seem quirky at first glance, but could just as easily affect millions of vehicles, as an example.
If I was so inclined, I would camp out in a busy parking lot with an antenna just to see what I could find.
They are used for most pairing sequences, but we don't type them in anymore. They are used more to validate that it's you that are connecting two devices.
Honestly, I have never heard of that term before. Regardless, here is a cute pic for you.
Well, you can't break something that's already broken.
I called that out. It was the weight of the earth.... on earth.
The earth is estimated to "weigh" 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pounds. (That is weird when you think about it. The weight of the earth being based on what something weighs on earth, I mean.)
Mt. Everest is only about 357,000,000,000,000 pounds and is just a tiny fraction of the mass of the earth.
So. My point is that we need a better way to portray scale of things in the universe. AUs work to a point but then we have to quickly move to parsecs. Parsecs quickly give way to light years. (Or vice-versa, depending on how you visualize things better.) Light years kinda work, but only for between 14-26 billion years. Even after all of that, I can hardly still fathom the size of Mt. Everest. (This was a rant, but not an angry rant.)
Good analysis, but you failed to point out that the truck will be towing the whole assembly. Pushing this contraption in reverse could be a hair problematic.
If he is actually towing it, there is probably an 80% chance the actual truck would detonate the AT mine first, depending on how touchy the trigger was and if it's ran over directly. (The rig would probably deflect more of the blast back through the truck.)
This just seems like a meme template.
Just be glad he didn't bust out the black sharpie.
I watched through Day of Honor a couple of times today, but it was kinda choppy for me since I had to work.
I just want to clarify "give herself up" in that you mean she is willing to become part of the Voyager "collective" and puts aside her need to return to the Borg?
If my above assumption is correct, then yes. She is growing exponentially personality wise, but there are significant challenges in doing so.
Personally, I have been around engineers my entire life. Some people I know could rattle on for hours over something like p vs np even if they just learned about it a few hours ago. Put that same person in a complex social environment and they are absolutely clueless. It's similar to Seven.
Assuming I didn't know anything about her timeline after Day of Honor, my guess would have been it would take years for her to learn how to operate in a complex structure like we are accustomed to. Janeway seems bright enough to understand that as well. So yeah, it would be a very long time before she could make the kinds of decisions we take for granted and Janeway would have to do that for her like a parent.
Fast forward a bit to Picard, you can see how long it took for her character to develop into something that didn't resemble a robot. (I am willfully excluding some later episodes of Voyager that were kind of odd, btw.)
Yeah, so it's probably regional. My family from your part of the world doesn't use the colorful language I learned in NC. In many ways, it's it's more than just a dialect difference, it's an entirely different language. Idioms are much more common, or at least, more colorful.
There was an article posted today on /c/texas (Lemmy World, I think) about them actually connecting to the national grid.
I guess there actually was a cold day in hell.....
