“What could we do to get more voters? We’re just so confused by this new political landscape. I know! Let’s go on an podcast! Kids like those, right?” - The DNC, probably

“Kill one person, and you can solve so many problems. I wonder at the possibilities.” - Runa Fair-Shield.

Hegseth said that the F-47 "sends a very direct, clear message to our allies….”

The earth is going around the sun pretty fast, and you need to counteract that speed to get to the sun.

But when you’re leaving you can use the earths orbital velocity to give you a boost.

Fun fact: The sun is the hardest place to get to in the solar system. It’s less dV to leave entirely than to get to Mercury

I’ve lived that life and it’s fucking awesome. Congrats at winning. I hope I can join you soon.

You forgot:

And I can’t make my own media server with blackjack and hookers because I’m too busy.

It’s this sort of fiddly stuff that gives me pause with Jellyfin. And the fact that people say their apps aren’t that good.
