Linux & FOSS Enthusiast. My cultural touch points are 90s-00s sci-fi references and Mean Girls.
Not exactly the same scenario, but close enough for proof of concept.
I think the mess hall with a food replicator is as close as you’re going to find.
What do you think the function is of a fast food restaurant in a society with no money and instant food machines.
This is of course with Earth in mind. I have no doubt there are fast food places on Ferenginar.
I’m honestly surprised it’s taken them this long. They bought Waze in 2013. I feel like Waze has been doing this kind of ad for at least that long.
We check criminal records from local and national databases as well as your driving record. Because my industry is working with kids, we’re really just checking to make sure you don’t have any child abuse or neglect on your record.
Other industries, I’m sure, are looking for different things based on what they’re hiring for. Where I work, there is a different set of checks we run on folks that work in our finance department, but I don’t oversee that area.
The group used “sophisticated computer scripts” and software to scour piracy services… for illegal copies of TV episodes, which they then downloaded and hosted on Jetflicks’ servers.
So they used some variant of Sick Beard?
I made SO many self-extracting archives back in the day. My friends just couldn’t be bothered to use 7zip.
I worked with a woman who’d just gotten off meth. She swore that she got sick more often while clean because… meth was made out of cold medicine.
Always was.
Joke’s on you, I’m into that shit.
My lump charcoal smoker.
I moved to LMDE 6 when it came out, moving over from regular Mint. It’s so nice and boring… Which is exactly how I like my computer to be.
Voter Suppression.
The smartest people that I know have no problem speculating. Those are just not the things they speculate about.
My wife does daily to plug into our car. When she recently got a phone without a jack, I bought her a dongle for charging and audio.
Does she use wired audio daily? Yes. Does her phone have a headphone jack? Well, no.
There’s an exhibitor at my state fair who specializes in hard to find movies/episodes. He’s got a DVD of it than I’m sure is on the level.
I’m the “kid who’s good with technology” despite being almost 40. Most of the problems I deal with are people who don’t know their passwords.
I should have listened when a younger coworker told me “never let them know that you can fix the printer.”
The real Magic Mouse is the Logitech Powerplay. You’ll never convince me otherwise.
