a thin layer of positive mass tucked inside an outer layer of negative mass

If the universe provides negative mass, maybe we could use it to build an FTL warp drive.

Wasn’t 1984 literally about Russia?

Headline should replace the word “now” with “still”.

just because that is generally how one would expect it to be done, it doesn’t necessarily mean we know this is exactly the case

These fucking Indian cowards are betraying their own spies.

Let this be a warning to anyone else considering an offer from India. That payout they promise - you’ll never get it. The repercussions they promise to shield you from - you’re going to hang and India won’t even try to stop it.

“The Time Warp.”

congratulations. you’ve just sent a linux newb down a 12 hour rabbit hole that doesn’t actually solve their problem.

not seen in this comic: the linux file isn’t where the comic/manual/internet nerds says it should be, and there’s no realistic way to find it

Up to around level 50 or so, mobs are squishy enough that you don’t need weapons perks at all. Eventually, some super mutants become bullet sponges, and you’ll want some kind of damage boost, either weapon perks or just taking lots of combat drugs as needed.

I like to start new games with a focus on Science and Barter. With one point of Science, you can build Industrial Water Purifiers in your settlements. The excess water they produce can be sold to vendors.

Unique leg armor that increases your movement speed can be purchased in Goodneighbor and Vault 81. The Vault 81 vendor also sells the last gun you’ll ever need. I like to trade water for those ASAP.

Next, there’s a quest from The Railroad that gives a HUGE defensive boost.

The Nukaworld expansion introduced a new kind of knife, the Disciples Blade, and it is by far the best melee weapon in the game. A sneaky ninja melee build wielding a Disciples Blade can beat every encounter. The build doesn’t really blossom until the late-late game, but once it does, you’ll never need to use a gun again.

It depends on your frame of reference.

From inside the ship, light speed is faster. You travel arbitrary distance in an instant.
Outside the ship, everyone else sees you moving 1 light year per year, but for passengers, the voyage is essentially a forward-only time machine.

From outside the ship, warp speed is faster. Observers will see the warp bubble with a ship inside it moving >1 light year per year, and because it will arrive at its destination before light from the ships own past will arrive there, it acts like a view-only backwards time machine.

. . . but it will give you up. what a let down. i feel deserted.

The problem with RTFM is that TFM often does not cover the problem, and broader knowledge of the OS is required. You can’t expect every app to come with a manual that covers how the entire OS works, but that knowledge is often required to get work done in Linux.

People familiar with the guts of Linux or Windows will encounter these kinds of outside-the-instructions problems and know from experience what arcane setting to change or what 3rd party software needs to be installed before the procedures written in the manual will work as expected.

IMO, the Windows GUI lowers the bar to begin trial-and-error learning and makes the learning process faster.

The idea that one OS is easier than the other is misattributed familiarity.

Exactly. OP’s meme makes no sense to me. My experience has been that using Linux is a never ending series of file not found and access denied errors.

insanity soap is all you need:

“You’ll pay for that!”

Yes, I know how stores work.

I stopped buying their shit after they started hiring Pinkerton mercenaries to clean up their mistakes.

from the wiki:

Following the Civil War, the Pinkertons began conducting operations against organized labor.[5] During the labor strikes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, businesses hired the Pinkerton Agency to infiltrate unions, supply guards, keep strikers and suspected unionists out of factories, and recruit goon squads to intimidate workers.[6] During the Homestead Strike of 1892, Pinkerton agents were called in to reinforce the strikebreaking measures of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, who was acting on behalf of Andrew Carnegie, the head of Carnegie Steel.[7]
