ahem, that's PROFESSOR Hanks, thank you very much

"Key franchises"? And they don't think WW is a key franchise? Out of all their films from the past few years, the WW ones have been some of the best. If they don't want to do anything with it, they don't deserve the IP.

To all the people saying they should release server source code: You don't even need to do that (as nice as it would be). At the very basic level all that is needed is:

• remove DRM (which probably cost more effort to add in the first place)
• a description of the API for any online components (which any decent dev team will already have internally documented)

magic databases containing the location of every flower shop cross referenced by geolocation and joined to the magic database of endangered beetle habitat

Open Street Map has entered the chat

looking at the junction points on that diagram only one side of the axle would change track if the switch was pulled resulting in a derailment so you could ignore the possibility of hitting the people in the middle thereby reducing this example to two parallel but unconnected trolley problems

i choose to kill whoever calls them trolleys and not trams

According to the 3 criteria mentioned in the article, YouTube wouldn't need to be banned, logging in to YouTube would be banned. YouTube is still functional (mostly) when logged out, and wouldn't violate those 3 criteria. The other services mentioned, like gaming, would be banned.

I misread that as prefix and, honestly, forthwhence doesn't sound half bad.

Women are a better person to be in the past than a good quality piece of wood

More ascension stuff this episode. I wonder if that's ever going to be explored, or if it will only ever be left as a gag. It seems like the kind of thing that would be difficult to dig into in a satisfying way.

To be honest, I could get behind fines for overrunning street works. Hell, go further: fines for any overrunning, underdelivering or overbudget public contracts. That would quickly resolve the mess that the torys have made giving out dodgy contracts to their mates.

It reminds of the kelpien-baul relationship from discovery. If they were from the same planet it would suggest that the betazed-caitian relationship resolved it self at an early stage of development and the kelpien-baul one didn't. Maybe the fact that betazoids are emphatic worked in their favour, and helped them to grow together.

I really liked the facial expression animations in this episode. Its difficult to pull them off in 2D animation, but it really helped in this episode.
