    SkyNet really is ... here?

    It's just advanced autocomplete. If you give it an option then don't be surprised if it uses that option, even if it's only a remote possibility. It doesn't sound like it was given any parameters for what was considered moral and, if it was, then survival was clearly a higher priority. You only...

    It doesn't necessarily need to be key, but it should be referenced in some way. Perhaps as part of a spiral that ultimately needs to be addressed? Then again, what Star Trek character doesn't have some sort of reprimand on their record?

    Hopefully it's a Chekhov's Gun and will later be of significance.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    During lockdown that just wasn't an option. They weren't allowing anyone inside. You had to order online and then either pick the stuff up, or have it shipped. I had no luck with either.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I wouldn't put Home Depot on that list, at least not the Canadian version. Remember I mentioned businesses I've stopped dealing with? I ordered some "hobby grade" (supposed to be select) lumber from HD. It took them almost a month to send me the pickup notice, after having to pay up-front. When...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Brick & Mortar stores only really have two things going for them; customer service and the ability to see/handle the product in person. Years ago I went to a local motorcycle accessories shop, looking for a specific product. A place that I'd been dealing with for a couple of decades, at that...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Oh, I'm well aware. My heart sank when I saw that they only listed 1. I went home and immediately placed an online order for the same thing (multi-calibre gun cleaning kit). I got a call about a half an hour later from the same store saying, "Sorry, but we only have one and it's incomplete."...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Isn't this always the way... Need something at a local chain store. Check online and 1 in stock. Get to the store and find that item is in fact in stock, but in a locked cabinet. Search for employee, for 10 minutes, to open said cabinet. When cabinet is opened, find that someone has stripped...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Thanks for that. A friend recently did a choose your adventure video on Youtube, called "Marla and the Macarons." Short and pretty trippy, in that West Coast (of Canada) way.

    She has already gotten more character development than Sulu did in 3 seasons and 52 appearances, in hour long episodes.

    The three books in the one I have are "The Forest of Doom" by Ian Livingston, "The Citadel of Chaos" by Steve Jackson, and "The Warlock of Firetop Mountain" By both Jackson and Livingston.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I still have the Steve Jackson Games "Fighting Fantasy" 3 book GameBox on my bookshelf. Spines never cracked. Didn't have the heart to tell my mother that's not what RPGs are, when she gave them to me for Christmas.

    I am now imagining Anson Mount as Medusa, from "The Inhumans", instead of as Black Bolt.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

    After a little over 60 years on this planet I find that most of my recollections about early life could be categorized more as feelings, than actual memories. I can't imagine what that might be like after, say, a thousand years.

    I was hoping that (if human) they would have been converted to basically the biological operating system of robot suits, and that's where my head canon would like to go, but you're right about the goofy maw on the ship. Also, the guy in the suit was far too clean-shaven for my preferred origin...

    They became scammers the moment they realized that finishing in the bottom of your class is still technically "graduating" and gets you some letters behind your name, but you'll never have the earning potential of someone who excelled. What really confuses me are the ones who first actually...
