Makes you think, doesn’t it

McDonald’s ownership: You have cost our company $10 billion in profits and you will be terminated. Your position will not be filled but the remaining team members will pick up your duties.

Then they eventually make their way to their true natural home; the dryer.

When I first watched I thought it was just a sandwich, but on closer inspection it appears to be some sort of star-shaped burrito.

What’s funny is you could even keep the 85 percentile rule if you only changed the design of the street. If it’s designed to drive at 30 then 85% of drivers will go 30.

I also use the v60 but I get so many fines in my grind it ends up being an immersion brew regardless

There seem to be dozens of us

The moment the planet exploded during the opening act I was certain that Kirk was daydreaming up some action since he was literally just complaining about how bored he was.

As the episode went on I was no less convinced, but began to wonder if maybe there was some alien interference that was transforming his desire for action into either a shared dream or some simulated experience for both crews.

I can mow my lawn with less than 150 watt-hours. The fact that a 60 second conversation with ChatGPT can surpass that is alarming.

Installing Arch on a server is certainly a choice

I heard Cartman say it’s ok to use it now and he is my moral compass.

Counterpoint: you could not have TPM and secure boot requirements that needlessly alienates a large player base of Linux users.

Seeing any em dash in the wild makes me immediately suspicious

I’m going to have to watch the episode again to give it a fair chance, but I think I agree. The characters were acting pretty much exactly like the teenagers you see in a cliche slasher film.

I know that the episode has to happen, but discovering a facility like they did during a dig should have called for a thorough study before proceeding, but they just strolled in. Chapel even gave a sample of her blood to an unknown alien mechanism just to see if the door would open.

Then when they walk in the first thing they should see are a couple of corpses lying on the ground, but it takes them several minutes of wandering around the room before noticing. Scanning the bodies reveals that they died a long time ago of starvation; possibly a hint that they were trapped and sealed in maybe? At this point Spock should have deduced that the door was going to lock.

They also lost contact with the Enterprise pretty much immediately, but with the front door still wide open it doesn’t occur to them that it might be a good idea to set up a comms relay. These are 8 skilled professionals that just waltzed in here without a plan or backup, and then lost contact with their only support and chose to keep going anyway.

And then Gamble, in full view of everybody, and after just hearing the chief of security say not to touch anything, grabs the shiny glowing orange sphere of destiny and holds it up for a good last look.

From here most of the rest of the episode is actually really good. I enjoyed the puzzle of them figuring out that they’re all still in the same room.

I didn’t enjoy so much the explanation that Gamble is brain dead but is somehow still being controlled by a non-corporeal being. If his body is moving around then surely there are still signals in his brain indicating life. I suppose this could be explained by the entity taking control of his lower brain functions only.

And finally I don’t know why they made such a big deal about crossing the invisible bridge to reach the door. After taking a single step the bridge is revealed to be solid, so why couldn’t they have just stuck a toe out or thrown something to see what would happen? Or hold on to Chapel by the arms and carefully lower her down over the edge.

Just so many unnecessary risks taken again and again this entire episode.

I am in the piss area. I can confirm that we were just pissed on.

Build Canada Homes needs to have a program to help fund non-market and co-operative housing startups. Most property owners currently view real estate as an investment that makes them more money, but non-market housing discourages this mindset by keeping costs (and profitability) low in the name of affordability.

Cooperative housing isn’t even run by the government, it’s in the name; the housing is owned and controlled by all the residents collectively. The big problem is getting off the ground from nothing to purchase the land, potentially demolishing existing structures, and then building a multifamily complex.

Probably 135mm focal length on the lens?
