They have the exact same face, they’re identically!

It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about, watching some good friends screaming "Let me out!”

“Lily and Cyril’s father, my husband, is dead, and they don’t know yet because if I tell them now, then Christmas will always be what took their father away from them and no one should have to live like that. Of course, when the Christmas period is over, I shall… I don’t know why I keep shouting at them.”

“Because every time you see them happy, you remember how sad they’re going to be… and it breaks your heart. Because what’s the point in them being happy now if they’re going to be sad later? The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later.”

We never see a Great Link Changeling before Odo meets them at the start of season 3. Perhaps they’re emulating Odo to give the Alpha Quadrant as little info as possible. Lass, another one of the 100 infants the Link sends out as scouts, along with Odo, assumes a different face. More brow ridges, but the same hair.

The D’s saucer is an oval, wider than it is long (“the fat one”). Voyager’s saucer is long pointy, kind of shaped like a spoon.

Jumping on the personal top 5 bandwagon:

• Keep Us Connected
• We are One
• How Would That Feel
• Status Report
• The TOS end credit theme (Not on the soundtrack, but it’s played right after We Are One, when everyone celebrates the McGuffin being fixed.)

And Car Talk itself was a call in show for car repair advice that aired weekly on NPR. The two brothers became famous enough in the car world to get cameos in the Cars films as Lightning McQueen’s sponsors, the Rust-eze brothers.

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.

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

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.

I wonder how the malpractice suit from the 80’s in Miami turned out.

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

Wow, you can tell the series just got a big cash infusion from Disney. The production values have gone way up. (But we still have guys in rubber suits because it wouldn’t be Doctor Who otherwise.)

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.”

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.

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.”

Seth Myers’s work during COVID lockdown reminded me of the fever dream nature of Ferguson. He’s still my favorite of the current late night hosts. He dresses a bit more casually than the others, is happy to share the stage with his writers in various bit, and his political commentary & news coverage is on point.

RE: context menus, I miss the pressure sensitive screens we had on iPhones 5-9. Press extra hard to get a context menu without waiting. There was also a distinct gesture to reposition the cursor in a text entry area.

One of the best-written series finales I’ve seen in a long time, but I know, that scene with the wave in the ocean, so bittersweet.

At some point, GOP leadership has to recognize that the MAGAs and the so-called RINOs are are so far apart that they’re unable to whip enough votes in their caucus for any candidate. If they can’t elect a speaker on their own, the responsible thing to do is to reach out to the Democrats and see what sort of terms they’d ask for in return for support in a speaker vote. It may be as simple as any bill with the sponsors from both major parties can get scheduled for a floor vote.

Not immediately, they’re easing into it, 8% at a time, over the next few years, until it reaches parity with the standard minimum.

This has to be taken from the top of the Stowe Gondola, at or above Cliff House. It’s staring right down the barrel of the lower terminal for that lift, the red building near the photo.

The slower speed is why it’s so expensive. Instead of employing a pilot, co-pilot, and flight attendants for a few hours, you have to employ engineers, conductors, and car attendants for days. Labor is one of any business’s highest expenses, and when you require 10x as much for the same result…

It’s roughly equivalent to maintaining train stations (some of which see less than one train, per direction, per day), FRA oversight, rental fees to the host railroad outside of the limited tracks Amtrak owns, locomotive and car maintenance, etc.

Wendover broke down the numbers a few years ago, I don’t think they’ve changed significantly since then.
