Carrying on the Sean Aloysius O’Brien legacy.

With no belt that plumber’s wrench has to go somewhere.

Unless something has changed that company is no longer on the slavery free list due to them having Callebaut making their chocolate.

Guittard is my favorite for snacking and using in baking.

So many great lines to choose from. I’m watching Our Man Bashir right now and these stand out:

Garak: Kiss the girl, get the key. They never taught me that in the Obsidian Order.

A little later in the episode…

Bashir shoots at Garak grazing his neck.

Garak: Doctor, that was awfully close! What if you’d killed me?

Bashir: What makes you think I wasn’t trying?

Garak: Doctor, I do believe there’s hope for you yet.

Bashir: Ah, I’m so relieved. Now we have to get to the control room. Are you coming or not?

Garak: Well, who am I to question Julian Bashir, secret agent? Lead on!

I buy two bags at a time for flavor variety and to reach the free shipping threshold. I have one in the morning and the other in the afternoon.

I’ll usually order more before running out and will mix whatever seems like a good combo if one bag gets too low for a full dose on its own.

This is like when Dr Evil asks for $1 million dollars after being unfrozen. These courts need to get with the times.

It’s all good. Your opinion is totally valid and I also don’t wish to rehash the same debates that have been done over and over already.

Live long, prosper and may the Great Material Continuum carry you.

Tuvix was an accident that if left alone would have ended two lives.

Tuvok has a wife and children that he wants to get home to but staying as is would have ended all he had. Neelix would have never joined the other Talaxians, saved them and found love and family.

I think Janeway made the right choice. Maybe it wasn’t directed with enough care but I always thought it was the correct choice.

Zinda, his eyes red.

Too much optimism and hype may lead to the premature use of technologies that are not ready for prime time.

Preach!

I wasn’t aware of the jar monopoly situation. Maybe my old Balls will become collectible someday.

You get a gold star today. ⭐️

I think the closest thing Elon is to Star Trek would be a Romulan/Ferengi hybrid wannabe. Dreaming of having a star ship to manipulate, conquer and extort the galaxy.

Understood and have seen the comments. I don’t blame you for being upset. It’s a crappy situation.

Damnit! I still like and respect the Ars Technica staff but Condé Nast can piss off.

I feel for you KingThrillgore. I was thinking of supporting the site with a subscription but not after this. Still if enough people stop subscribing we may loose them altogether. This is a double edged shit sword.

This is atrocious. Coincidentally Disney is planing to open a park themed with villains. Seems like they can save time and money by renaming the whole place Villain’s World.

I’ve been a few times in my younger years but have zero desire as an adult. Sure they have some nice rides and attractions but the Disney culture is a huge turnoff to me, as are the very high prices of everything there. If I were to take a vacation that costs similar I’m off to a national park or maybe international travel. I prefer real culture over fantasy land.

The Lounge is where you were given access. That subreddit was ok on its own but really it was a good place to hang out, be friendly and helpful which sometimes resulted in being invited to other private sections of Reddit.

Some of those private subs have a true sense of community who are truly kind, respect each other and fun to interact with. Before the awards went away there were many games with prizes and multi-day parties with lots of engagement and fun. Not anything like the regular Reddit.

Those places still exist but activity has declined since most third party apps and the awards/coin system were taken away. That decision not only damaged the public Reddit subs but also the private ones.
