BUCK IN EVERY EPISODE 911 | 1.01 Pilot

One of my favourite things about the “unnecessary feelings” line is that Edgeworth essentially walked up to Phoenix and was like “you’re making me reevaluate my life and morals and also I think I might be gay for you but I’m too emotionally constipated to deal with any of that so can you leave?”

Ronon and Teyla deserve an award for dealing with John and Rodney on a regular basis.

I mean yeah I guess you could infer, based on other chantries depicted in dragon age, that the Kirkwall chantry was hosting women and orphans and refugees and giving charity to the poor. If the game itself didn't look directly into the camera in the first twenty minutes and go "hey this chantry isn't like the other chantries. It has a giant fucking golden statue in the middle of it"

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

I deeply appreciate that roughly 70% of SecUnit's strategy in any given situation seems to be "find a bot that seems nice and ask for help"

I'm so stressed out by Buck's ongoing roommates situation at the start of s4 given he lives in an aggressively open plan apartment.

Thanks - this is a really helpful answer! The american healthcare system is so different to what I'm used to I couldn't guess if I was seeing a real cultural difference or just a TV-land phenomenon, but this sounds like the practicalities of hospital admissions aren't so different even if the system is.

Reference question: are private hospital rooms the norm in the USA or is it just tv leading me astray?

if you don‘t personally own one but your roommates/parents do and you are allowed to use it, that counts as yes
