“Burning bones entirely requires extremely high temperatures. An environment of 1292 degrees Fahrenheit (700 degrees Celsius) is necessary to incinerate bones completely.”

I’ve been traveling and recommending travel for 15 years, if anybody has any questions about the process.

i see, thanks so much for the guides, i appreciate it.

i’ll look at both of those and probably jump into three and see how it goes.

okay I trust your judgment because you admitted:

“it doesn’t start out the best”

I’m finding it difficult to get past that first interaction between Shakespeare elitist alien and Picard.

when you say start out, do you mean like the first episode, or the first season?

cuz I’ll just skip the first episode and go back after I kind of care about the story and characters and find out what they talked about.

you know what, he really sounded sincere when he said it, and literally every Vietnamese person who welcomed me to their country(which was every single one I was able to communicate with over 3 months) sounded so happy that an American was visiting.

it seemed like they were all as nervous as I was about our relations. but the fact that I was there and trying to poorly speak Vietnamese and just interested in their country really meant a lot to them.

though yeah, winning a war with “the most powerful country in the world” probably soothes a lot of the awkwardness.

there’s this crazy site called. the B-52 lake, even though it’s only a few dozen meters across, and a B-52 is stuck in this pond in the middle of a residential neighborhood where it was shot down by the Vietnamese during the war, and it’s sticking out by one wing the way it landed when it was shot down.

I rented an apartment right next to it and had no idea until I walked out of the building and saw a B-52 sticking out of a pond.

I was very concerned about traveling to Vietnam the first time, and then once I got there I was shocked and relieved at how nice everybody was to me, and then one guy explicitly mentioned he felt bad Vietnam beat the US so bad in the war.

he even shrugged and did a “you know…because the US lost the war…but that’s behind us. and you are welcome, it’s very nice you are visiting!” and I was like ohhhh of course. i would be gracious too in his situation.

thanks, I’m really excited to finally get started and I’ll definitely go your route.

if there are too many references. I feel like you’re flying over my head I’ll move on to something earlier and go with what feels right.

I dare say that the incredible volume of ST names on Lemmy have maybe prepared me for some of that?

great, thanks. as long as I’ll be able to follow what’s going on, I’ll probably start with lower decks since that appeals to me, and then branch out from there.

I feel like I need to live in the modern ST world a bit first before stepping into the past

okay, interesting. thanks for the context.

Cool, thanks. I like animation in general, so lower deck seems like a good entry point.

you know what, whenever I buy a car I do research how easy it is to repair first, and it’s probably one of the largest considerations before I make a purchase, so I guess I’m angling the odds in my favor.

congrats, that was my first step to YouTubing everything i had to replace and being incredibly surprised that most things on a car are about as simple to replace as the battery.

and even now, a battery replacement is really satisfying for me.

California is the 4th largest.

Texas is the 8th.

yeah, looks interesting for sure.

I really enjoy backpacking and walking and I’m interested in seeing the Australian outback through the eyes of a walker.

actually, I think the second to the last podcast I put out was about walking specifically as a wonderful mode of travel.

thanks for the recommendation.

oh wow, thanks, this is my first hearing about it.

I appreciate the heads up, I’m checking out the website now.

Texas is the 8th largest economy in the world.

that blew my mind recently.

that looks crazy good, especially after 5 days of backpacking.

were you backpacking in rural areas around your home or did you go a national park or something?

I used to backpack a lot, but never got around to it while I was in Australia.

haha, those outsider questions are always so funny to hear.

like no matter what job you do, people always have two or three questions that would never be asked by anyone familiar with the profession even for a day, but every single person who has never been a _______ feels compelled to ask.

That’s a really good point about your developing skill set too, locksmith seems to be one of those future-proof jobs, knock on wood.

I hadn’t thought about that, but I’m glad you brought it up.

I see, yes, that’s an extremely helpful answer.

Knowing that the programming functions themselves are fairly universal under the layer of syntax that briefly broadly defines a programming language is clarifies my understanding of programming as a whole.

now it seems less daunting to choose a first language to learn.
