That’s what makes it a good story though - an ethical dilemma with no clear “right” answer.

The longest and most complex solutions are usually right (yes, please share).

Im curious, please share

They should have just kept replicating Tuvix with the transporter and using him as fuel.

The Riker split depended on a plant on that one particular planet. Maybe it cannot be replicated.

Fully embracing that technology would have loads of chaotic outcomes...maybe they forbade it or something? Ripe for abuse...the ability to make infinite free clones or people...

They used a transporter, so yes.

Every use of a transporter where someone is disassembled is murder, or possibly suicide.

So I was under the assumption that every time they beamed someone up or down they murdered them and an exact copy appeared elsewhere.

they did it again LTD. anyways, janeway practically groomed 7 of 9, not in a sexual way but trying to mold her into a daughter she never had.

Yes and she was right to do it. Except maybe she should have made a backup so she could have done it again

Imagine being a Samoan shopkeeper and some tourist showing up and trying to pay with a friggin statue of Hogwarts.

Ladies and gentlemen, a coin:

What the fuck is wrong with Samoa? Like, I can speculate but my speculations are unkind. I don't want to go there.

In my experience, people will put garlic in mayo and call it aioli.

I don't think that's an internal debate, I think everyone who understands about the topic knows the difference between aioli and garlic mayo. It's people from outside that use the wrong term, so not really an internal debate.

Oh cool, did not know this thanks.

Now I can properly judge hipsters who call their overpriced mayo aioli lol

How does one get the emulsion started without egg or mustard ?

I keep falling out of the hobby because I don't want a printer to be my hobby - I want printing to be my hobby. But no matter how many times I try to pick it back up, my printer never produces a good print.

I'm on the other end of the swing again - looking for tuning tutorials to help get my cr10 printing well. I am very open to suggestions.

I do like tinkering with the printer, and I do want that control, but eventually it gets to a point where I just want it to work

I think it's like cars for car guys vs cars for people who just want to get from place to place. I started with Elegoo and got really sick of all the fiddling it took to get a decent print. I got a Bambu and it just works. I know it's a "walled garden" but in the end I can print whatever model I want and it comes out great most of the time.

I have it deliniated into 3d printing hobbieiests and 3d printer hobbieiests. Printing people are about what the printer makes Printer people are about building and making the printer do more and more.

I am team...

• Nano

• Arch

• Systemd, I don't see what the fuss is about that TBH

• I don't wanna even touch that one lol

• I like the carousel kind of things like Karousel or Niri

• Gecko (Librewolf, Floorp etc.)

• Zsh

But yeah I agree, everyone should just do what they want. Having lots of options is one of my favourite things about Linux.

neovim, opensuse tumbleweed, idk, idk, floating, gecko, bash

my experience is limited tho, and im not strongly opinionated

i like the vi/vim/neovim editor control scheme, not tried much else, nano seems ok too from my occasional use of it

i use opensuse tumbleweed because its rolling release but still pretty stable and installation is easy but allows a lot of customizing, many other distros are good for many other things too, fedora popos and mint are great easy desktops, debian and nixos are great for servers, arch gentoo void nixos and artix are great desktops for nerds, etc. the bad ones are ubuntu (canonical is weird and corporate and makes bad decisions), manjaro (the devs are incompetent), and omarchy (it preinstalls nonfree software (including nordvpn (ew)), ai, and more nonfree software (including chatgpt (even more ai ew) and twitter))(as you might be able to tell i really hate it, its just an installer for some moron's desktop setup, thats what nixos is for you fucking twat, and its crappily opinionated with crappy opinions)

ive only used systemd distros (opensuse, ubuntu, fedora, debian, raspbian) so idk whether systemd alternatives are better, i just know that systemd is pretty bad in many ways

and im not that much of a programmer, but pretty much all languages are good and useful (except that javascript is useful but not good)

i like floating wms (i use kde plasma) because tiling is a bit annoying (sometimes i want a window to be a particular shape) and because tiling is usually in wms that are not des, ive tried sway and hyprland and the mostly keyboard based control was nice but it not being a de that provides all of that useful stuff was annoying

gecko is better because its more libre, the corporation behind it is dedicated to libre rather than being one of the world's biggest and evilest megacorps, and it incorporates more pro privacy design. i use librewolf. gecko is poorly separated from firefox tho so im quite hopeful for servo engine now that ladybird is vibe coded slop being rewritten in rust by the cult

i like bash because its the typical well known linux shell that many online resources are about

This is honestly fascinating.

alot of plants phylogeny is like this, they looked similar enough they are the same species, after doing enough testing, mostly mitochondria, choloroplast they actually are combined into one genus or move into another one. my favorite is mycoheterotrophs(plants that are entirely dependant fungi rather than photosynthesis), thismiaciae was originally though to have evolved in burmannia family,and then thier own family and then back again.

finally in the 2020s they realized even thismiacae is polyphyletic. so now south americans thismia's are likely belonged to another genus entirely(they havnt done significant phylogenetic studies in the SA ones)(seperate from the ones in south east asia, australia, and 1 extinct one in usa which makes it very unusual for it to appear in america), thismiacae is now a full family, and afrothismia was originally included in thismia, until they genetic testing, its entirely "new family" interdependently evolved but related to the ancestors of thismia. trying to trace lineage of mycoheterotrophic plants is difficult because they lose thier cholorplast genes quite easily.

its only because they all looked very similar to each other, they were all combined into one family.

with Sonic, it would be faster to list what isn't a big internal debate

The one true Sonic:

Hm, authentic? in which sense? to some source material? how the character I'd integrated in the world? in regards to which one was first and how the other deviates? or is it a "quality" change of character thing?

this is somehow interesting to me now. never really had contact with sonic
