I don’t remember this quote, so I went digging and I can’t find this in the show. Anyone have a link?

I went back and watched the Star Trek DS9 season 2 opener, 3 parter. Then I listened to the Delta Flyers podcast to hear some insider info and context.

I’ve seen the series multiple times, so I can picture just about every scene when the Flyers are going through their synopsis, but I thought I’d try to rewatch the episodes first and then listen. I enjoyed it, but the practice also enforced the fact that I really have seen TNG, DS9 and Voyager a ton and I wasn’t missing much in my internal teleplay.

Hey man, let’s take some poorly written beat poetry and put it over mediocre guitar compositions. Then we can take a talented keyboardist but make him play the shittiest sounding electric organ. And we can make sure the recording makes it all sound like a cat and some tin cans in a dryer.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He can come back and do anything at any time. He had so much more to give and so much more to receive. God damn shame.

I’d love to see Gilda Radner come back for Weekend Update.

Annie Wersching should still be playing the Borg queen.

I don’t know if this link will work, but Moody’s just released a statement that almost half of US states are in a recession. Closer Look on GPB had a Moody’s economist on their podcast today:

“I do not see coincidence, I see providence!”

"14,000 roles primarily in management, alongside around 34,000 cuts within its operational workforce”

This should bode well going into the package shipping season. But hey, at least the stock price went up after the announcement.

It doesn’t look like they had a control group of people doing the strength training without any protein supplement. I would assume that group would also perform the same.

Hell arrived a while ago and it is summer on Lake Myvatn, or Midge Lake. You can’t breathe without inhaling insects, so you have to wear a mask just in case a cloud of those things happen your way.

If the crowd liked your guitar playing, Spaniards at the time would remove the onion from their belt (as was the fashion) and throw it on stage. It’s nice to see Manet’s attention to detail on the custom.

Taste test.

I might be out of the loop - is this a known fascist, a public figure whose politics we know?

Either way, he is a Master Sargent in the US Marine Corp. He took an oath to defend the Constitution and not a single person or party. His power is bestowed by the people he is sworn to serve. If he is wearing that uniform with honor, that uniform is most definitely anti-fascist.

Especially from a tech critic.

He is in the article and mentioned as a lefty, but just absent from the article’s title. I agree, just say “one out of 40” and you still make your point.

I’m closer to his age, so I am nowhere close to regular enough to shit on command on a cop car. That is a young man’s game. Back in my day though…

E.B. Farnum from Deadwood (the HBO show, anyway. Who knows what he was like in real life?)

Agreed on the independence part. We are much more interdependent than we let on (in the US especially, but other places as well).

If everyone 30+ got together and collectively decided what thriving meant, then worked to reach those goals, then I think we would all be thriving.

The majority isn’t hoping for a vacation home or to send their kids to Ivy League schools or to buy a bigger boat. The majority of middle class folk I talk to regard thriving as being comfortable enough to send the kids to some postsecondary school and take a few weeks vacation out of the country. They want to have enough to retire at 65 and live a modest life, be able to spoil their grandkids a little… nothing crazy.

The ability for all of us to thrive is already here. It is only the slight matter of systemic overhaul that prevents us.

If street legal in your area, golf carts should be treated like any other small vehicle like a moped. Restrict it to 35 mph or lower roads, keep it out of bike lanes, register it if needed… the list goes on.

You mention PTC. There, they treat it like any other vehicle. You absolutely can get a DUI (and they love to hand them out). But PTC is a cart community and was born with those laws in place. In a more urban setting where carts are mixing with other light EVs, of course you should hold them to the same rules, but the laws haven’t been written yet.

Please don’t condemn an inexpensive, more sustainable mode of transportation just because a few douche-nozzles are trying to ruin it. A cart seats 4, runs off cheap rechargeables, has a small footprint and low wear and tear on our roads, is a neighborhood level form of transportation and is an attainable EV for anyone who wants to dip a toe in.

Driving across a park in your cart and tearing up the grass while being a tool should always end in a clothesline.

Edit: Sorry, I just realized I replied to the wrong person. We are arguing the same point. No animosity to you. Thumbs up.

You may see some similarities.
