It's a great way to get through a crowded bar or concert, but I've amended the technique a little. I stretch my arm out and use it to telegraph where I'm headed, pushing my arm ahead of me through the gaps between people, and they tend to kinda naturally make a space with no contact necessary. I'll only put my hand on someone's shoulder if they're totally oblivious or I'd otherwise walk into them, and even then you have to be subtle about the right pressure and length of touching or I could see people getting mad, but I've never had someone be upset with a very brief light tap and I've used this technique successfully to move myself and my girlfriend (we hold hands and I almost pull her along with me lol) through some tight crowds without ever ruffling any feathers.

Pretty sure your math is a little off. Like by several orders of magnitude.

What if tongues had tiny ears and every time you drank water it felt like getting water in them.

You can also do this with dots in various places in your email with gmail. Not as descriptive as the plus sign thing but still can be useful as you can create different filters based on the location of the dots.

This would be amazing, I would love a more powerful deck. If a steamdeck 2 comes out I'm buying that day 1, but until then steamOS is way too good to go to windows. Windows is awful on a PC, I can't imagine how bad and annoying it must be on a handheld.

It's a form of extortion. A donation is voluntary, ads are a way of making rhe users experience shittier unless they give you money.

Don't use an ad- riddled or paid app when there are many amazing free alternatives. Jerboa, connect and thunder are all great and if you find one you like yoi should donate to its creators.

I imagine it's related to relief. Interesting. That's a relief = that makes me glad again.

I feel like this is probably intentional, it looks like every two floors the floor plan reverses. Larger rooms on one side for two floors, then smaller rooms on that side and larger ones on the other side.

Have you never had a friend group? Like that's a dead-ass simple 'study' of a gift economy. Sometimes someone pays for lunch, sometimes someone pays for beer, sometimes someone brings weed or bakes cookies or sings a song. Everyone helps everyone else out. Each according to their need, based on their ability. Or is that not something you're familiar with, because if not, you need better friends.

 

So in this episode they go into a cave, and can read some sort of energy field, as well as Troi having a sense that there are lifeforms present. Geordie explains that the people must be displaced in time, but only by a few milliseconds. If that's true, how is there not overlap? Say the people are a few milliseconds ahead of the enterprise when they arrive, shouldn't they appear a few milliseconds later, as they still would have had to be 'present' during that time? I don't understand how they would be consistently invisible if time is a dimension like space that can be traveled through. Some past (or future) version of them would be present regardless of the desynchronization would they not?

Please if anyone could help me understand or shed some light on this I'd appreciate it.
