Okay but he didn’t obsess about the British equivalent of comic books either. Geeks obsess about consumerist pop culture whether it’s comics, LEGO or Harry Potter. And Moss did non of that.

While I like IT Crowd it’s unfortunately written by a TERF activist so I will never watch it again. Also explains why there is an episode about a trans woman getting beat up
Edit: before you downvote me maybe lookup what kind of activism Graham Linehan has been doing after he made IT Crowd.
And Moss was a nerd not a geek. He wasn’t obsessing about comics, videogames etc. like the characters in BBT.

SkunkWorkz@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 US price won’t increase after tariffs, but accessories will cost moreEnglish6·2 days agoThey’re talking about the controller connector on the console that protrudes out. Nintendo should’ve opted for spring loaded pogo pins instead.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S.English21·2 days agoIt’s the fault of people that bought the Switch 1 from scalpers. It basically showed to Nintendo that people were willing to pay a lot more and that they could’ve charged a lot more. The Switch 2 will also be in short supply and Nintendo rather wants that a buyer pays them $500 than a scalper.

Define human. Yes modern humans aka homosapiens are extinct long before Pangea Dos, but there is still a chance there will be a new species of humans by then. The age of the Dinosaurs lasted 190 million years. The age of Humans could last just as long if not longer. If humans can survive and advance the next 100,000 years they would have the tech to mitigate any mass extinction event.

I don’t know if they spy or not but worth investigating. Or Bang and Olufsen if you are swimming cash.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•inspired to find a man to take you for a ride to spaceEnglish5·5 days agoWith a cannon you can’t go much faster than 4-5x the speed of sound, unless the space in between the payload and the explosive is filled with a lighter than air gas like helium. Like in a light gas gun. But even then the acceleration needs to be extremely high since the only thrust the payload gets is at the beginning. So it would destroy most things especially squishy humans. A rail gun would be a better solution and is in theory possible, since it can accelerate the entire length of the rail. If you just make it long enough you can accelerate to any speed in a vacuum at survivable G-forces. But the end of the barrel needs to be in space in a vacuum as well other wise the payload will explode the moment it exists the barrel and hits atmosphere if it’s going fast enough to reach the moon. Though the space craft still needs it’s own thrust system to decelerate, otherwise it will just loop around the moon and fall back to Earth.

So everyone who is named Imogen is named after a typo.

SkunkWorkz@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’English25·6 days agoProbably gamers put him in office in the first place. Steve Bannon capitalized on Gamergate and started latching on to it to recruit young white male gamers to the far right. Then these GamerGate proponents became manosphere followers.
Probably rent-to-own on the rims.
