I kind of think that the baby thing wasn't supposed to really land in a sympathetic way. They were willing to risk the lives of literally billions for their kid and expected the general public to be OK with it. There's a detachment between The FF and the the average person that I don't think is...

A starship as big as TNG Enterprise is like a mobile navy base. I guess that just like you would have civilians working at places like the Officers' Club or the Navy Exchange, you would have them shipboard doing non-military tasks as well.

I tend to believe that the real person is the one you see when there are no consequences to their actions. Something about Oscar Wilde and masks...

I sometimes feel like Morn got more character development than Keiko.

On the upside, at least they painted the commonly missed top of the doorjam.

I never saw "Night of the Hunter", but remember the scene from "Do the Right Thing." Made me wonder how many of the people who have that tattoo on their hands actually know the story. I've met at least two alt models who have it and never thought to ask at the time.

Same. Give me the genre and premise, then a few non spoilery scenes to let me see what the actor interaction and directing look like. Done.

The service side of UBD (User Brain Dead).

Stray thee not beyond the first seasonal clip, lest ye stray into the political.

You could go for a free month of Shudder. I keep meaning to, because there's a compilastion series of shorts called "V/H/S" that has on i really want to see; "V/H/S/99", the short called "Shredding."

Three computers updated to 25H2. Seems it's just an OK for later updates and not an update, in and of itself.

"They turned me in a workaholic!" "I got better."

Back in the mid-late '90s, there was a government austerity programme in Ontario. This was just before I started working there. Budgets were cut to the bone. Management, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the best way to handle it was a round of buy-outs would be used to incentivize staff to...

And that's a good thing.

Same. It's 27 years here. I'm currently at 25 vacation days a year, can carry 50 before cut-off, and generally get an extra week (sometimes 2) between Christmas and New Year as the uni is shut down.

"Unlimited vacation days" is often a scam, as they add the codicil that the leave must be authorized by a superior, and must not impact productivity. In practice such authorization is rarely provided as productivity is, of course, always impacted by an emplyee absence.

Lots of 'experts' end up having less contact with the average human, because they are generally sought out by people with more than a basic knowledge of the subject. I see it in IT and education all the time.

Going back to some Weird Al.
