Is lab grade distilled water more guaranteed to be neutral pH? Because I tested some random distilled water from walmart and it was like 5.5. I then went down a rabbit hole and learned that distilled water is so pure that it just sucks up carbon from the air.

However, a report from the Hollywood Reporter revealed that the leak didn’t come from within Paramount but from a hacker from PeggleCrew—the same troupe behind an infamous 2016 cyberattack on the hosting website FossHub.

I'm guessing the crime is how they got the movie.

According to the publication, police discovered that the leaker gained unauthorized remote access to the server on which the animated film was stored, leading him to allegedly download and upload clips of the film online.

This happened in Singapore I guess, but assuming they have similar laws to the US than this would be unlawful access of a computer system.

It's an older meme, Sir, but it checks out.

lol when I first started watching DS9 I just could not get past the idea that Sisko was commanding an interstellar truck stop/motel.

Oh yeah, for sure. I'm all for more solar. I just hope the scientists continue their research and figure out a way to make the panels without quite so much lead. Or at least make sure the lead can't leech back into the environment.

All I'm saying is it would make more sense to put them over agricultural land than in parking lots.

Solar panels are less efficient the hotter they get. Heat makes the electrons in the panel bounce around more at rest, which means they can't be excited as much from the sun. Throwing them in a concrete desert with hot cars parked underneath would probably affect their performance significantly.

If that's true, the problem would be storing and transporting it. Sending electricity via wires is massively inefficient and limited in range.

 

I really thought biocomputers were just the realm of sci-fi. How long til we get bio-neural gel packs I wonder?

 

Sorry Wash! Also, this was the crossover I didn't know I needed.

 

Inspired by a comment I saw earlier calling it the "Prime Suggestion".
