I know it's a meme right now to hate on pizza parties at work, but in a generally positive work environment when things get a little hectic, I really do appreciate not having to think about lunch for a day.
I guess it was filibustered last time it came up. I'm hoping it will die as well, but I won't count on it.
Arguably Thomas Riker is the evil one.
Don't mix tor plus VPN.
If you're using tor browser without tor for some reason, carry on.
Because the person creating the image didn't take the time to optimize the image. It's probably just a PNG or a JPEG, which is way overkill for representing a NES frame.
Other commenters have mentioned that the NES has 56 colors and uses tiles to draw the frame. If you took the same approach (maybe embedding a GIF tile in an SVG), you could cut down the size of the modern image significantly.
Perhaps I have some internalized homophobia, but aside from sex and gender identity, what else is it?
edit: it's love
Father could also be very supportive of a son who transitioned.
If you haven't already, take a peek at Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It's fanfiction, but absolutely worth a read.
You'll need to be a bit more specific about the iMac. What year is it?
If it's pre-2017, I'd expect some difficulty with the WiFi. If it's newer, you might have luck with https://wiki.t2linux.org/distributions/gentoo/installation/ . I haven't followed that guide, so YMMV.
It takes a lot of money, planning, and technical know-how to build a nuclear power plant, especially a safe one. It isn't like a new nuclear company can just pop into existence, and start offering reactors for sale.
Traditional nuclear reactors are, therefore, a technology that requires a lot of centralization to implement. Only nation-states and huge corporations can assemble the resources to construct them.
Compare that to wind or hydro-electric power. You can build a generator with some wire and magnets yourself, so you could call them more decentralized.
This might be changing with modular reactors, I don't know.

Wow, after reading your story, my ragequit is peanuts in comparison. I almost don't feel like posting it!
Normally I'm a lot more humble than this, but you're all strangers on the Internet, so you'll just have to take my word for it, but... I had performed extremely well at my software development job. "Exceeds expectations" kind of performance review. I had led the architecture of several large efforts, and consistently delivered features.
Promotion time comes around, and I get a 3% raise. Eh, whatever. At least it meets inflation.
I find out a bit later that one of my coworkers (quite talented in her own right, don't get me wrong) got a title increase and a much more meaningful salary bump.
So I talk to my manager about why she was promoted and I wasn't. We both had similar performance reviews, had led similar projects, and so on. I was prepared to accept it if there was a good reason. There wasn't. There was only budget room for one promotion, and she had been hired at a more senior position than me, though I had been promoted to match soon after I started. That's it. No logical reason other than seniority.
I was butthurt, and started looking for a new job right away. Ended up snagging a great gig in a few weeks.
I keep in touch with my old co-workers quite regularly, and I guess some activist investor forced through policy changes and gutted the satellite office I worked at. I guess I dodged a bullet there.
