No, there’s an offhand mention or two, but nothing impactful. The most important tie is Pike being aware of his fate, but they recap that pretty thoroughly.

This toggle allows you to opt out of having profiling used for future decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.

The what now?

This sounds strangely ominous.

I will always root for Trek to succeed. I’m hoping that by including Rachel Garrett, this isn’t too timey-wimey and we get a well written TUC-TNG lost era story.

He’s also been regularly compromised by sketchy backdoors placed by the manufacturer in his firmware and remote code execution exploits.

But to be fair, anybody on the bridge who knows how to work the consoles could kill everyone aboard if they wanted.

And it hasn’t been tested because researching the “best” method for executing humans is abhorrent and the scientific and medical communities have ethical standards.

But the State of Alabama doesn’t, a feature it shares with other regimes responsible for the worst atrocities in history.

The impact to the timeline form the Narada affected the timeline before that point as well because it affected subsequent time travel (allllll the times SNW, TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, etc. went into the past would have occurred differently)

Unless they’re really into arts and crafts, there’s no good reason for a home user to buy an inkjet anymore.

If every once in a while they want a nice photo print or to print up some flyers in color or something, it’s cheaper and less overall hassle to just pay per page at a drug store or office store on those occasions.

You might have a point there. Maybe… just maybe… this Musk fellow is completely full of shit about most things he says.

I agree with this in principle, but the way they were allowed to compete as the “Russian Olympic Committee” was bullshit. You can’t have a team called “totally not Russia (wink)” and expect that to be a meaningful punishment for the nations leaders

I think the athletes should only be able to compete as citizens of the world with no reference or acknowledgement of the banned country allowed.

The original showrunner eventually posted how he intended the story to go. It’s a fun quick read about the better show that never got made:

There aren’t really any good ones, just a few different quality tiers between “low” and “extremely low”

The ones with rising crusts usually have higher quality sauce, cheese and toppings and are more filling because they’re breadier.

What if it’s a micro-replicator that makes marshmelons on demand? And what if I told you it could also make sausages, carrots, skinny cucumbers and taquitos like they have on those roller grill things at the gas station?

Not so stupid now.

It’ll do M&Ms too, you just have to shake it into your hand.

The Klingons oversell their whole honorable warrior schtick, especially to outsiders. They’re not a monoculture but it’s far less “cool” to be a nerdy scientist in Klingon society than, say, Starfleet, but they’ve still got them. They’re just not celebrated to the same degree. They pay for that by being a bit behind the tech curve, imo.

Yes, but it’s not an automatic invocation of WW3. Article 5 just requires the members to discuss the issue and decide what to do about it, which is what they’re doing now. If there’s consensus Russia did it, they’ll do something proportional in response.

Yes, this is totally a symbolic move and nothing has meaningfully changed at Unity. Riccitiello is probably walking away with many millions of dollars and the rest of the leadership team who were fully onboard with the new licensing plan are still there. Once the negative press dies down, Unity will try something equally shitty again.

Developers would be foolish to trust this company ever again.

So is fish sauce, miso paste, yaggi, marmite, better than bouillon, parmesan, mushrooms, tomato paste and many many more things.

And anytime you see hydrolyzed soy or wheat protein on an ingredient label… that’s just slightly less refined MSG.

If you’d rather avoid liquid smoke try using smoked paprika instead. Store bought does the job but if you can find the good stuff at a local farmer’s market, it’s worth it.

The Universe probably wouldn’t fit in a sphere of any size and it very well may be infinite.

But looking at a very large spherical region like the visible universe from our perspective here on Earth, everything is moving away from us. If objects were being pulled towards one particular edge of our imaginary sphere, it would look very different. We’d see a clear drift in that direction, but it all looks pretty even across every direction we look.

For a minute there I thought this was going to be about a nuclear aircraft. That’s some wild 1950s shit right there.

Allegedly, Ira Behr wanted to end the series by making it all a fever dream by Benny Hill but Berman wouldn’t let him.
