Also, for at least two of those three the cause of their graduations seem to be chronic medical issues. IIRC Sana had some chronic back problems that at least for a little bit rendered unable to walk and while it got better after that, it didn’t go away. I think she also had several personal tragedies happen in rapid succession.

Mumei has said she has some chronic throat problems that have meant she has a hard time talking for extended periods of time and a harder time singing.

They’re also not the first gen in Holopro to lose half their members the first generation of Star EN lost two of their four pretty early on.

That is an excellent episode. It would probably have been my fourth pick. That or Arena, the Gorn don’t get enough love and while the episode is cheesy (more so then the rest of TOS), it’s a classic. But I had to go with Mirror, Mirror. The mirror universe episodes in any trek are some of my favorites.

Burrito Factory does make some excellent burritos, but I’d actually recommend Burrito Heaven over them. Unless you specifically want a breakfast burrito. It is hard to beat Burrito Factory’s breakfast burritos.

Out of curiosity, which of your three TOS episodes did I miss?

TNG: Drumhead, I, Borg, and Chain of command (or if you don’t want a two parter, take your pick of Q who, Measure of a Man, or Yesterday’s Enterprise)

DS9: In the Pale Moonlight, Inquisition, and It’s Only a Paper Moon.

VOY: Living Witness, Tuvix, and Year of Hell (or again, if you don’t want a two parter, go for Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy)

TOS: The Devil in the Dark, The City on the Edge of Forever, and Mirror Mirror.

ENT: Similitude, Regeneration, and In a Mirror Darkly (don’t really have a good non-two parter to suggest over In a Mirror, Enterprise doesn’t have a lot of great standalone episodes IMO)

Movies: if you want to use these as examples, The Wrath of Khan for TOS and First Contact for TNG.

And I don’t really have a list for LD, PIC, DIS, SNW, or PRO.

Edit: for VOY, I might actually put Author, Author over Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy.

Last time I wore shorts I had some teenager come up to me, gesture at my legs, shout “the beacons are lit,” and then run off laughing with his friends.

Not everyone has a passport.

Only an absolute lunatic or morally bankrupt cretin would believe that it’s not pronounced “yif,” as our linguistic founders intended.

For an additional gender neutral option, your butthole is almost as unique as your fingerprints, to the point that unless you have an identical twin it’s reasonable to assume that no one else shares your specific butthole print.

Yep, where I live, growing up I’d go trick-or-treating in waist deep snow (I was much smaller at the time, so more like knee deep on an adult). Now, first snow isn’t until mid November and we don’t get massive accumulation until mid-december.

Both high temperatures in the summer and low temps in winter have also increased by like 10F. What used to be a major heat wave 15 years ago is now normal. Sub-zero temps used to be normal for weekly lows in late January into mid-late February. We have multiple false breakups each winter where temperatures get above freezing for days at a time and all of the snow starts melting.

Shit’s very noticeable if you’re paying attention over time.

Depending on your setting and desired outcome for the poisoner, uraninite (aka pitchblende) might be an option. It has historical uses in glass making and pottery glazing, which could provide justification for why someone would have it.

It contains Uranium, which is radioactive, but I don’t believe will bioaccumulate, but can build up on surfaces, tools, and clothing providing a source of long-term radiation exposure. In addition, it contains lead, which does bioaccumulate, providing a source of gradual long term poisoning as well as radium which also bioaccumulates and is radioactive, providing an additional source of longterm radiation exposure.

I definitely had to look it up, as it’s difficult and a bit confusing to parse and makes use of some rather dated slang, but yes it does make sense.

It means that buffalo from the city called Buffalo, who bully other buffalo from Buffalo are in turn bullied by buffalo from Buffalo.

We have twink primarchs already. Fulgrim on the Chaos side and Sanguinius on the loyalist side.

Obviously. It’s still just people hiding behind anonymized usernames and interacting with posts that are largely singular ideas.

The risks associated with being an asshole are largely removed and the ability to empathize is limited by lack of access to things like body language, facial expression, tone of voice, and real time communication. Of course people will be emboldened to be their most brazen selves in an environment like that.

Language is under every obligation to make sense. That is the entire purpose of it’s existence. It is, however under no obligation to make sense to you.

True, it should be dogé.

Calibre cant natively strip DRM from ebooks, but there are third-party plugins for it that can and integrate pretty seamlessly into the process of adding the book to your library.

I used it to strip the DRM from all of my Amazon bought ebooks back before they removed the download option.

Accidentally turning on the radio, deciding to roll with it, going to the local classic rock station, and hearing Bleed It Out by Linkin Park is indeed a pretty terrible feeling.

It’s about a five minute drive to the nearest grocery store which is the cheaper one and about fifteen minutes to the more expensive one.

The cheaper one is an area with a higher crime rate and there have been a decent number of thefts out of cars in the parking lot there. I usually try go avoid going there but it’s open later and sometimes I need to get something after work when the nicer one is closed.

I can’t speak to the Quest support as I don’t have one, but my Index definitely had issues when I first switched to Linux fulltime. I had been dual-booting for about a year prior to that. But over the last year, it’s gotten better and most titles I’ve tried lately seem to just work the same way they did on Windows.

I do still have this persistent issue where my computer treats the headset as the primary display during bootup if have it plugged in, but that’s OS independent and starts at POST.

I’ve also seen some changelogs a while back suggesting Valve was trying to get OpenVR and SteamVR more compatible and make them both work better on Linux. I don’t know what issues you were having or how recently but it might be worth digging into again if it’s something you care about.
