How is this a science meme?

Why do people do this?

It's the circle of grift.

I once ordered some bananas from a grocery (online order, in-person pickup), and the store wanted to substitute corn. On the one hand, both are yellow and edible, with an outer husk that must be removed. On the other hand, they are otherwise nothing alike.

Didn't they just buy all those studios? Is anyone in upper management listing losing job over such gross incompetence?

The unilateral presidential pardon was a terrible idea, and we should get rid of it at the earliest possible opportunity.

TFTP is fine for LAN, but very inefficient for sending bulk data over the Internet.

To keep things as simple as possible, TFTP sends one packet at a time, waiting for a response before sending the next packet. If your ping is 50 ms, the that's 20 whole packets per second. (That's assuming zero packet loss, otherwise it will be even slower.)

For historical reasons, the packet size is locked to 512 useful bytes. That puts the transfer speed at 10 kB/s (80 kbps), which is faster than dialup but not by much.

Horror episodes do exist, but they're rare, and not generally representative of the series as a whole.

What sick person gets the license to make a Star Trek game, and decides survival horror is the best genre fit? Have they seen a single episode?

🎵 What a thrill

🎵 With darkness and silence through the night

🎵 What a thrill

🎵 I'm searching and I'll melt into you

🎵 What a fear in my heart

🎵 But you're so supreme

🎵 I give my life

🎵 Not for honor, but for you (mouse eater)
