Never actually watched Enterprise (yet) so don't know the cannon reason they gave but re: first mentioned, yes it was, and I think Worf, when asked why Klingons looked different said something akin to "we don't talk about it".

He can sit, it's just his way of getting to that point which is strange

Tahiti or Dallas. Chompy chose well.

In medicine you go from (and excuse my gendering for clarity) Ms/Mr to Dr. to Ms/Mr when you become a high-up consultant.

In media, you go from low billing on credits, to top billed, to the end of credits after "with" or "and".

As a big burly (but cis) bloke who would be described as a "bear" in some circles, there's nothing more fun than supporting my female friends then returning the "compliment" back to these men. It's funny how quickly they find it repulsive and it can be quickly turned into a learning experience for them.

So yeah, title give you my views on Christianity and all other abrahamic religions. So am I right in thinking that this was one of the main takeaways. I dunno man, women fucking rule. Seems a pretty dumb takeaway. Edit: and why does nobody talk about Lilith? She seemed pretty legit.

Let's be honest, not every movie "needs" to be in 4k, but some really gain from that additional resolution - and that's ignoring seating position and screen size. What are your favourite movies that you'd recommend in 4K over the same movie in 1080p?

For example, I always prefer Christopher Nolan movies, anything shot in 70mm/IMAX film and anything animated, set in space/fantasy worlds or BBC Nature documentaries to be 4K (and HDR preferably).

It's funny. As much as I detest DJT and all the terrible things he's brought to the world order/markets/general stability, I do have to be thankful that he's helped spur on digital sovereignty and sparked a revival in independence rather than US hegemony. It's also a shame, but the US has proved itself too volatile and an unstable partner.

Die from a treatable but financially crippling disease that would have been covered by a public health system anywhere else.

Is it really a failed state when most of its problems have been caused by a major outside aggressive influence? Wouldn't a failed state be when it has failed internally without sanctions or embargoes thanks to a certain global bully to its north.

  • becomes martyr at the hands of people he's said were "the devil" for decades proving his point.
  • Inspires supporters to fight against the existential threat the enemy has proven themselves to be.

It seems a very stupid thing for US-Israel to give them all the ammunition in their internal propaganda war.

Would've posted to "Shower Thoughts" but they specifically state no politics. Who are the analogues of Röhm and Himmler? And who do you think will come out on top?

Disband or go underground? Nobody decided "hmmm, maybe it's wrong to be a bigot"

Storage (aussie.zone)

The amount of time it's been since my wife has gone through some of her old work notes that she has made me cart around the world, around two different countries and in the garage of 6 different houses.

Finally told her that that's it and I'm chucking it all away. She was fine with that.
