It can both of these things. I can completely miss most hints thrown my way and still be concerned about misreading possible hints.

In some things a lack of subtlety is a virtue. In this case, “you, me, sex” is not clear enough. Please specify a time and location as well.

But is it only Lasagna on the weekends or Lasagna only on the weekends?

Sounds great. Just make sure it also gets the genes for strong hip ligaments. And the dopey friend genes that all labradors tend to have.

And then breed it to look like a polar bear sized grey wolf.

The “Preacher’s Daughter” is a trope in a lot of media wherein the daughter of the local religious leader tends to be more likely to be a promiscuous troublemaker.

I’ll learn the theremin for this effort

There is no clear definition of what constitutes a moon other than it being a body that orbits another body that orbits the parent star.

There are some astronomers who say the dividing line between a moon-planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system and binary (or more) planet/dwarf planet/asteroid system is whether or not the barycenter of the orbits is within one of the bodies or not.

And fun fact: if that definition gained acceptance, it would mean that the Pluto-Charon system would go from a dwarf planet-moon system to a binary dwarf planet system. Charon could get a promotion.

Some large asteroids have moons too.

Alaska is also on the ring of fire and the Aleutians are also a volcanic island chain.

Both Alaska and Hawaii have on average 1-2 volcanic eruptions per year. However, Alaska has an average of about 12,000 earthquakes per year. Hawaii has an average of about 100 earthquakes per year.

Alaska is by far more geologically unstable than Hawaii.

No, that’s Florida. Alaska is the most geologically unstable.

Assuming your math is correct (and I have no reason to doubt that it is) a mass of 10^16 kg would actually be a pretty small moon or moderately sized asteroid. That’s actually roughly the mass of Mars’ moon Phobos (which is the 75th largest planetary moon in the Solar System).

I lived in Fairbanks, AK for almost three years. I’ve also lived in Bethel for a little over a year and spent about 6 months in Barrow. I grew up in Anchorage. If I could afford to have seasonal houses, my summer home would be in Barrow and my winter home would be in Fairbanks.

Fuck anywhere that gets above 65F at any point during the year. It’s currently 62F in Anchorage and while it’s bearable, it’s bordering on becoming miserable.

Fuck Summer and the Sun it rode in on.

But also the other 23 hours.

He should ask the guy on the left. I hear he does it a lot.

no no, the end user will somehow find the exact position in which the switch starts arcing and then they’ll work by the light of the fire in their walls.

I’ve tried submitting recategorization requests through the links provided by my workplace on the block pages. The requests have been denied.

If I’m remembering right, it’s a Symantec web filtering solution that we use and they’ve decided that my domain is in the “personal blog” category. Which is a blocked category. Jeff Geerling’s website actually falls under the same category, which also kind of sucks, because I like reading some of the stuff he puts out.

pretty much the only reason I still use Plex is because I like to be able to watch stuff during downtime at work and plex.tv isn’t blocked on the work network while my private domain is.

And no, using a hotspot off my phone on a personal computer isn’t an option, both because the security requirements of my job site prevent us from using personal devices in the main area where I work and because the building itself is a massive concrete structure that blocks most cell signals.

Ah, for some reason that YouTube link didn’t show as a link in the browser earlier.

So, I only saw your spoilered link.

Gloria Gaynor is the singer of the song “I Will Survive,” the opening lyrics of which are being referenced by the comic.

Is an assembler not a compiler for an assembly language?

Is saying “I wrote code in assembler” not functionally equivalent to saying “I wrote code in GCC?”

Note: this is a genuine question, not sarcasm.

You Spock/McCoy fanfic doesn’t count.
