Techreport is another one I used to read all the time, but it got bought out and is a shambling corpse of it’s former self.

Surprisingly, the recovery room coffee (after minor surgery) tasted amazing. Of course, I didn’t have any coffee that morning and I was coming down from anesthesia…

If I remember correctly, the English ‘thou’ used to be the informal/singular as opposed to formal ‘you’. Also that a lot of Indo-European languages informal pronoun starts with t- because of the same root word: ‘thou’, ‘tu’, the Russian version (I don’t have a Cyrillic keyboard on my phone but it sounds a little like ‘tuh-ee’.

I’m sure a linguist on here can correct me on this if necessary!

Yes! The first SBEmail I ever saw back when it was new…I feel old.

We just watched it last year and I can’t believe I missed it the first go round. We were blown away.

Hopefully soon no one will care about this game and it'll stop clogging up my RSS and Lemmy feeds. 😆

I thought she WAS in the Academy but ended up leaving...

Edit: Yep, according to Memory Alpha:

Beginning in 2366, Torres attended Starfleet Academy, where she participated on the Academy decathlon team. She later admitted that after quitting "The track and field coach was furious with me" (VOY: "Basics, Part II")

She also had to dodge several punches in the lab, which Chakotay later joked about, saying, "Only you, B'Elanna, could start a brawl in Astrotheory 101." (VOY: "Future's End, Part II")

Interstellar history was, according to Torres, "the one subject I almost failed at the Academy." (VOY: "Year of Heck")

Also among her Academy training was EV suit simulations. She thought "they felt peaceful, like floating in the womb," but years later, in actual practice, she said she felt "a little sick to [her] stomach." (VOY: "Day of Honor")

During her time at the Academy, B'Elanna dated Maxwell Burke; however, their relationship did not last long. (VOY: "Equinox")

Ultimately, B'Elanna had a hard time fitting in, often getting into trouble with instructors and faculty. Within two years at the Academy, she was suspended once and had four disciplinary hearings against her. Even though quite a brilliant student and promising engineer, she eventually dropped out of the Academy in 2368, at the age of nineteen. (VOY: "Caretaker", "Eye of the Needle", "Parallax", "Extreme Risk")

One of Torres' teachers at the Academy was Commander Zakarian, who taught Survival Strategies (VOY: "Caretaker"); another was Professor Chapman. Torres and Chapman argued constantly; she even later admitted that "I was always questioning his, his methods, his assumptions, and he was always slapping me down like some upstart kid." She was later surprised to learn that Chapman thought she was one of the most promising students he had ever taught and was disappointed when she dropped out. He had placed a note in her permanent record saying he would support her if she ever reapplied. (VOY: "Parallax")

I feel like your example is way more granular than what is going on here. It’s more like ‘so and so has arrived at this city airport now’ and within an hour or two they could be anywhere in a fairly large radius without anyone reporting their location. Also there is the fact that this is ‘punching up’ which is often seen as ok.

I don’t pretend to have an answer here, but it’s hard to feel sorry for celebrities.

Ha my wife and I are watching through B5 for the first time right now. At the beginning of season 2 right now, it’s really picking up although we both grew to like Sinclair and miss him now.

I think we had this exact computer when I was growing up.

[-] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 year ago

Weird, I didn’t link to my instance or a thread on my instance at all. From what I can see I posted the exact same link that you did - direct to trekmovie.com. Not sure what is going on.

Anyone else having this issue?

And not even all desk jobs. My job is supporting a manufacturing client with their imports. Until both them and the courier/shipping lines decide to change to a four day work week, I’m going to need to be ready to field urgent HTS and document requests, even though I work a remote desk job.
