  • You say goth, I see a tower of Star Trek: TNG uniforms.

  • I’m hoping it’s because cruise control needs to go through a lot more strenuous QA than an only-used-while-parked feature like a game, but at this point, who knows.

  • The Dominion War probably helped create some job opportunities. During the war, Starfleet was launching ships as quickly as they could. In addition, they have to promote to fill in gaps left injured or killed personnel. After the war, some people may leave Starfleet, others, like O’Brien, may take a reassignment that had been deferred, creating more opportunities to advance.

  • A Jewish Senator sponsored the resolution to block further weapons sales, so at least some people are able to separate the Jewish religion from the Israeli government.

  • It seems to be the headline writer’s go-to word these days.

  • As if increasing bicycle throughput isn’t increasing vehicle throughput. They’re vehicles, and can probably achieve a higher passenger density than individual cars can on a city street.

  • There’s a Saturn V on display at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, but the people who made that facility important were born in Germany, not Alabama.

  • Yeah, problem is it’s still 16 months until Election Day, and 18 until the next Congress is seated. That’s a lot of time for this current government to continue to do harm. I really wish we had recall elections at the national level.

  • If there was no cursor, where was the code he was typing being entered?

  • Pen Pen the penguin, living a comfortable life, having someone else pay your bills, all while the world burns outside.

  • Well, There’s Your Problem, a podcast about engineering disasters, with slides. Not as dry as it sounds, a lot of it is taking the piss out of the people in decision-making roles who made the disaster possible. The video version is recommended for afore mentioned slide decks; none of the hosts actually appear on screen.

  • I suppose the one meager upside is that this stone is now tied around Vance’s neck, too, for the next presidential election.

  • There’s also Artemis, a thriller set on a lunar colony. A little less science than The Martian or Hail Mary, but still fun.

  • The reporter kind of dropped the ball when it’s a 99-1 vote and they don’t name the one holdout senator.

  • I think the Switch would be the better example, where up, down, left, and right are four distinct buttons, to be used like ABXY when playing in single Joycon multiplayer mode.

  • Of the TOS movies, the even ones are great, the odd ones are much weaker.

  • Last time the administration said another country didn’t have any cards they destroyed a quarter of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet a few weeks later.

  • It’s better, but 12’ 4” is still lower than usual, so it still snags some trucks that blow through the warning lights.

  • No, she pretends to be a RINO, but toes the Republican line whenever it actually matters.
