Unfortunately there’s way too much of these leeches who charge for stuff that is otherwise free, then use spammy SEO techniques to bury the free options.

As for QR code generation, DuckDuckGo has a built-in generator that’s always worked for me. For example: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=qr+Visit+Lemmy.World±%3E+https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world

That’s my main memory of Cracker Barrel. It was a place we’d sometimes stop and eat at when I was a kid during the family road trips. In that sense, I have some good memories associated with them, but I’m not particularly nostalgic for the brand and I’ve not been to one in years.

Chevy still makes a regular cab, 8’ bed version of the Silverado in the entry-level “WT” (work truck) trim, which at least theoretically is available to non-fleet buyers. Good luck finding one though.

That’s what I assumed was being referenced, or is there some other joke I’m missing?

In any case, for those that haven’t seen that episode of TNG, don’t watch it. It’s terrible.

Every salary job I’ve worked is 8 hours a day of work with a 1 hour unpaid lunch. So it’s something like 08:00-17:00 or 09:00-18:00 as your work hours. That’s what is called 40 hours a week around here. You could consider that 45 hours a week. As lunch is unpaid that’s considered your time to do whatever you want including leaving the job site for that hour.

Some shift-work places will do something like 09:00 to 17:00 with a paid 30 minute lunch. Since lunch is paid time, they can require you stay on the job site. This is isn’t as common now as it used to be, but some places like factories that run a 24 hours a day schedule still do things like that.

Depends on the setup. For a binary system, there’s really only two setups. One with two stars close together, and the planet you’re on orbiting the center of mass of the two stars. Tatooine from Star Wars is like this. So it would be mostly like Earth, just with two glowing orbs in the sky next to each other during the day instead of just one glowing orb.

The other configuration would be two stars further apart, and the planet orbiting one of them. For example if one of the gas giants in our solar system was heavy enough to start nuclear fusion. Such as what happened to Jupiter in the 2001 universe (Jupiter actually gets turned into a star in the sequel, 2010). Now, the outer star will revolve around the main star, but much slower than the inner planet revolves the main star. So like Jupiter it will rise and set at approximately the same time tomorrow as it does today. But at least as far as Earth and Jupiter goes, the outer star (Jupiter) will rise about 3-4 minutes earlier tomorrow, and then 3-4 minutes earlier the day after tomorrow, etc., which means over roughly a year it will drift from being in sync with the main star, to being completely out of sync with the main star, and everything in between in terms of outer star sunrise and outer star sunset. Since Jupiter takes about 12 years to go around the Sun, it will actually take about 13 months on Earth for the cycle to repeat.
