Exactly! 'My headphones are so quiet now, could the speaker be dying?' is something we got all the time. Most of the time when people clean their headphones, all the do is take a wipe or a brush (if you're lucky alcohol) and clean the outside of the mesh. Half the time all they're doing is pushing earwax through the mesh so you get a nice little wax puck when you open them up.

It's gross, but it did feel good to be able to tell people they didn't need new headphones, we just cleaned them for $15.

Okay, so I'll preface this by saying I don't know enough about StarTrek Voyager to give an educated opinion and I do know where I'm posting, but I am an avid Zerg fan so I'll throw in my 2 cents.

Now Starcraft obviously does not include the USS Voyager in its list of units, but it does have a large deep space exploration unit called the Battle cruiser. Battle cruisers are massive ships housing between 4000 and 7000 crew, dwarfing the 150 that the USS Voyager is reported to have on the wiki.

Kerrigan of course has access to all kinds of psyonic powers herself, but most importantly she controls the zerg as (mostly) mindless drones. Her most valuable unit in this exchange would likely be a Corrupter as they are powerful air to air combat units. Corrupters are relatively cheap and fast to produce meaning she can create dozens of them in just a small time, and it takes about 5 to destroy one battle cruiser.

The USS Voyager being smaller than a battle cruiser could be seen as a strength instead of a weakness when it comes to out maneuvering the relatively slow corrupters, but they have an ability (aptly named Corruption) that allows them to lock a unit in place, unable to move, completely nullifying any benefit it would recieve from maneuverability.

One thing I would say in favor of the USS Voyager in this fight is range. Corrupters attack by spitting some kind of acidic goo at the target which in space wouldn't necessarily effect the range, but it would have a travel time. Because of this, a kiting patten of dodging shots and staying far away, while returning accurate at distance laser fire would likely be a winning strategy as long as they could keep it up.

All in all I guess what I'm trying to say is I think this fight would be a lot closer than some commenter are saying, and this was very fun to think about :)

TLDR : If Janeway stays far away, she could win, if the zerg catch up to her, she will lose (imo)

In their defense, properly cleaning headphones is kinda hard, especially wireless earbuds.

Source : Used to work at an electronics repair shop that cleaned stuff, and even clean 'looking' (aka externally clean) headphones can have some disgusting junk on the inside.

Well but a defibulator isn't used to restart a stopped heart. You only shock for Vtac or Vfib. When in doubt, turn it on, put the pads on and the machine will say 'shock suggested'. If not just do CPR.

Who is bringing gas inside? I'm struggling to come up with even one legitimate reason to bring gasoline inside.

BlockTube. It let's you block all kinds of stuff from specific videos to channels, even block shorts outright. I only use the channel block feature, so your milage may vary with the rest of it, but it's pretty easy to use so it works for me.

I had a roommate who reviewed and scored responses for Google Bard. A ton of it was people generating posts for whatever business/crypto/alpha-male grift they were running. The main thing though was really really specific fetish stuff.

This is what I've said about Mr.Beast from day 1. First video I saw of his was putting his friends in a taped off square in some backyard and the last one to leave keeps the car. So a rich asshole makes people dance for money and then he profits off the video for more than he paid. Mr.Beast is 1 of 2 youtubers that I have used an extension to explicitly block me from seeing his videos in my feed.

I drank so much soda that one steam summer sale. Like bought thousands and left my game on while I was at work drank soda. Good times.

I really tried to learn CDDA but damn that game can be brutal when you're just starting out. If you have any resources or even just tips I would greatly appreciate it!

 

During the Reddit migration, I made 2 accounts for myself. This account for research and one for actually being active on lemmy. My other account was on dataterm.digital and I really liked it there! But now it's gone. Does anyone know what became of them? Apparently they had/have Mastadon, but I've never used it before and can't seem to find it. I'd just really like to know if it's coming back, or if it's down for good and I need another account because I can't keep walking around here like this.
