Point taken.

Strange New Worlds season 1. A lot of Trek series have a rough first season. SNW seems to have avoided this curse and hit the ground running.

It’s not like Russia is going to issue press releases on its troop deployments.

Probably lutefisk, fish cured in lye.

I’m afraid I may fail that version of the Voight-Kampff Test.

This is not The Way.

Wow, a DEC AlphaStation computer. That couldn’t have been cheap.

Only Mac OS 10 and later, based on BSD, uses ‘/‘. (And, I guess, A/UX.) Classic MacOS used a ‘:’, but it wasn’t regularly exposed in the UI. The only way most users would know is that the colon couldn’t be used in a file name.

Indigenous names are heavily used. Half the states have Native American derived names, a much larger proportion than I thought. Pre-European population density was much lower, though so there were a lot fewer settlements to name.

It’s useful for people with unisex names like Taylor, Chris, or Jordan, especially in email, where you may not have any face-to-face contact.

Sucks for anyone named Jamie or Alex. Trump is acting like he won in a landslide, even though he wasn’t even able to scrape together a majority of votes; more people voted against him than for him.

No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There’s always a boom tomorrow.

I think you forgot a light. No worries, you have a few weeks to fix it before the cruise.

Kids, look for a build-your-own cannon kit inside the box! Limited time offer.

Jay seems to have a high proportion of Canadian visitors because it’s just south of the border and takes Canadian cash at par with USD.

I’m pretty sure Vermont would be pretty happy to become part of Denmark. Canada, we’re open to counter offers. Think, you could ski at Jay without having to go through customs!

I mean, we’ve got two slave owners up there, why not throw up a sexual predator too?

They know they’ll catch hell if they take away the holidays (MLK more than Juneteenth, as it’s been a federal holiday longer), but they don’t want people to talk about WHY they’re holidays.

I’m hearing Unchained Melody by The Righteous Brothers in my head for this one.

Such a well acted scene. All the actors here are regulars or heavily reoccurring, they all understand their characters, they all knock it out of the park. It’s still relevant today, too.
