  • He can commiserate with his department head in Ten Forward later.

  • George Takei killed it in his role in Yakuza: Like a Dragon. (Literally and figuratively, he played a hitman-come-mob boss and a father figure to the game’s protagonist.) I wish he had more screen time in the role.

  • The law also bans books containing references to sexual orientation and gender identity for students through sixth grade, which the lawsuit says is a violation of the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause.

    Ok, so that bans any book where the child protagonist lives with their mother and father, right? Straight is an orientation, too. Arthur, Bernstein Bears, Clifford the Big Red Dog, you’ve all got to go.

  • Picard’s heartbeat is probably weird as it is, thanks to those Nausicans.

  • While the Osprey is the best of both worlds in terms of range, speed, and operational flexibility, it’s the worst of both worlds in terms of engine-out survivability. It doesn’t have enough wing area to glide like a plane to a safe landing, and the rotors don’t have enough inertia to preform an autorotation landing like a helicopter, unless the aircraft was already configured for vertical flight. Training pilots is also difficult, as you basically need someone who’s skilled in both helicopter and fixed-wing flight.

  • If you’re looking for fruit flavors, there are those squeeze pods of water flavorings available at most grocery stores. Mio does a really good orange vanilla, it’s like having a creamsicle soda.

  • This joke needs to be delivered by Commander Kruge (from The Search for Spock), not Captain Picard.

  • First, git checkout -b omgFire, then do the rest.

  • The Constitution is not a sacrosanct document, we’ve major changes before, including repealing amendments. We shouldn’t be afraid of changing it if it’s doing more harm than good. The President and Vice President are elected differently now, the 3/5ths compromise was repealed by the 14th Amendment, and 18th Amendment, enacting Prohibition, was struck down by the 21st.

  • White Christmas. Nothing special about it, but it’s the movie my family watched every year when I was growing up. I can probably quote more of it than is healthy.

    “When what’s left of you gets around to getting what’s left to be gotten, what’s left to be gotten won’t be worth getting, whatever it is you’ve got left.”

  • I’d suggest one tweak, and have the funding level automatically adjust periodically to track CPI or another inflation metric. Without that, the GOP could refuse to act indefinitely and the spending power of the various agencies would slowly degrade as their $100,000 budget becomes worth less and less.

  • Seriously, though, if it’s a VCR game, why is the TV tunes to channel 5?

  • There’s also an ethical issue, dating someone directly under you in the chain of command.

  • That’s how you avoid getting output like ++?????++ Out of Cheese Error. Redo From Start.

  • He directed and guest stared in the 100th episode of Voyager, “Timeless,” where Geordi had been promoted to captain of the USS Challenger 15 years in the future. 100 is an important milestone episode, so you know the show runners has confidence in him as a director to assign him that episode.

  • What about managing your relationship with your child as a time-displaced parent?

  • All numbers in JS are stored as 64-bit floats, so past a certain point, precision starts to degrade.

  • Lucy’s name appears on Enterprise’s hull in the SNW episode “Spock Amok,” when Una and La’an go on an EVA to “sign the scorch.”

  • Further proof that Enterprise NX-01-era Starfleet had the most functional uniforms. Pockets and useful accessories.
