Just be glad they managed to fly around your ship and not through it. Navigating at those speeds is hard, matching speed with an older ship, connecting to it and transfering all the people over is probably also difficult.

Not to mention those in the older ship are probably brought into hypersleep in a different way then more modern ships, so they might not actually be equipped to handle the people from the older ship.

HBO also allows a code on profiles.

Where is that comic about standards now that we need it? The one where they create a new standard that is going to solve all the problems, except for now there is just one more standard??

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

The US have a shitstorm coming. That's what you get when you let a toddler play with the control knobs of the country.

Another very interesting point is how China made themselves so powerful. Anything with electronics needs some sort of resource from China. China is a very big and powerful player.

We should wonder if we want t be this dependant on one country for all our tech needs. I think the answer is no....

That one time I got an executable online that made girls strip on my desktop was great. Of course, the spyware and virus crap that was secretly behind it was not. I think that was the first time I did a full reinstall of Windows for the first time. Good times.

Burning CD's, ripping CD's with programs to remove the protection and save songs as MP3...

Anyone remembers cracks? You would replace a couple of files in the game folder and you could run a game without the CD, or a pirated version. These days with the online crap that is much more difficult. Or the serial number generators for some games or software because some genius found out how the software checked the number?

I'm dead anyway. But thanks, it may increase my odds slightly.

That is the problem with US adults. Half of them probably is dumber than AI.....

I'll be allright, it is just a small silly ring that I have to throw in a burning mountain. That is surrounded by orcs and other evil beings. While the ring is fighting against me and giving me supernatural powers.

Oh and no pressure, only the whole world will be destroyed and everything I know and love will be gone too.

Yea, Lord of the rings. I'm screwed...

You're not an asshole. The way you treat a dog makes a huge difference. Unfortunately these two are treated like kids. One of the family members wanted to get a husky at first, at least we managed to steer them away from that.

So yes, they are also not good dog owners. But we also had labradors and they were treated the same but never were agressive. Never. Dumb? Absolutely. Happy goofballs? Absolutely. And a lot better as doodles.

Both of the doodles have issues with allergies and skin stuff. And food. They are very peculiar about the food. Allergic to half of it, and some of what they can handle they just don't eat because they don't like it.

Both family members have racked up considerable cost at the vet. The health issues are real. Especially when we did not have the different energies figured out.

And really, what kind of dog is allergic to fucking grass? Grass, of all things??

TLTR: don't get a doodle, get a real dog. And train it properly. Cheers.

Well, I have seen 2 Labradoodles from the same nest. Two familymembers decided to take one.

They both bark at every little fucking sound, no matter what you do, they both have random moments where they could start biting you.

One of them is just straight up agressive if a man makes a sudden move and needs to be locked up if I come to do a small job in the house.

They definitely need to be trimmed and their behavior issues are very annoying. So if this guy regrets making Labradoodles? Me too, buddy, I regret you actions too.

Just wait for something else that dominates the news and do it then, so nobody will notice. Very old trick.
