8% is still too high. No one should profit from people being imprisoned.

Ligma nuts.

Me? I’m a Ligma male.

Unions are like condoms, in that regard.

Give everyone tastebuds in their anus.

I upgraded to a nickel-plated nozzle, and it made a noticeable difference in PETG sticking to the nozzle less. Not a huge difference, but worth the few extra dollars.

Service industry workers getting harassed for their management’s shitty decisions, as usual.

Think of it like laying rows of bricks. If the bottom row is uneven or off in some way, it’s going to throw every row above it off.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a cop that put it there. At least in the U.S. Do Irish police have as much of a nazi problem?

Yep. The one time Jesus got violent in the Bible, it was against the money lenders.

I’m still trying to bring back Mega Virginia.

We don’t have an overpopulation problem. We have with resources being hoarded by a small handful of billionaires.

If I read it correctly, the probe checks periodically, and if it loses contact, it uses the location of known stars to point its antenna back towards the Earth. If that doesn’t work, it’s gone.

The show stays pretty true to the books, but there’s enough differences that I’d recommend starting with book 1.

Biggest change I can think of is Drummer. The show’s Drummer is like 3 or 4 characters from the books rolled into one. Book Drummer had a smaller roll.

When did I mention Asimov? And on Ayn Rand, I meant that she and Heinlein had similar shitty right-Libertarian takes sometimes.

Not enough underaged incest orgies? Or not enough Ayn Rand shit-takes?

I discovered Pratchett as a teenager, instantly fell in love. His novels definitely influenced me as a person later in life, and I’m happy for it.

I drove an '04 Dakota for years (last year of that body style before they started making them bigger). Loved that truck, perfect size for camping or hauling band equipment.

Sucks that the mid-sized trucks now are bigger that the full-sized trucks from back then.

Yeah, I wish Bruce Lee was still around to kick his ass again.
