Debatable.

TNG did have a crossover with a forgotten sitcom named Webster. https://blog.trekcore.com/2015/03/tng-webster-crossover/

And who can forget Voyager having a wrestling episode.

As a fan of mysteries, my mind tends to clasp onto details that writers felt important enough to mention, but had no bearing on the plot up to this point.

The fact that the ship Tendi recovered was a “medical frigate” triggered such an alarm in my head. Yes the ship was able to gas the Blue Orions, but that’s hardly a feature unique to medical ships.

We Know:

• Tendi wants to come back to help raise her niece.
• Tendi wants to be a captain
• The finale is going to have some tear jerking moments
• This is the last season.

I think we’re being prepped for the main cast to go their separate ways, not unlike the DS9 finale.

We’ve had some foreshadowing with Freeman and Starbase 80. I wonder if the finale might end with her being posted there, as an admiral. Fix it up, that sort of thing, rather than an exile.

I really want the S5 set, and the S1 poster.

Not really sold on a full set at the moment.

This is why minorities are a prime scape goat for politicians.

Why be mad at some faceless corporation/politician, when you can blame the world’s issues on Garry that you see in the supermarket?

Oh god it’s DDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!

I appreciate this level-headed take from someone knowledgeable on the topic. It’s very easy to get riled up over the issue in Gaza, and it’s important to discern where certain actions are sanctioned or not.

That said, I suspect there were better ways to deescalate the issue on Girl Scouts’ end. Threatening litigation over a contentious humanitarian issue is begging for bad publicity. But, I’m not privy to the exchanges that brought it to that level.

IMO, it’s more a consequence of a black & white morality. Nuance isn’t even a blip on the radar. I guarantee they aren’t considering the ramifications, and wouldn’t understand them if explained.

Good point. I admittedly missed that part when I skimmed the article.

I found the Ukraine page on Girl Scouts’s website… it certainly paints a damning picture on Girl Scouts end.

I have to admit, my gut reaction was to ponder if this rule would be enforced if it was to raise money for Israeli children instead… but I know diddly squat about Girl Scouts and did about 5 minutes of research.

What I learned was that money raised by Girl Scouts is intended to be spent on local community projects. So helping local kids would be cool, but not foreign. Girl Scouts doesn’t forbid one from aiding foreign needy, but you can’t do that under the Girl Scout banner/as a Girl Scout project.

So, at the moment, I’m inclined to side with Girl Scouts on this issue. But, again, I don’t know squat about how Girl Scouts is run in practice, and if this project is being singled out or not.

I remember playing this on the Wii, it felt like, going in, it was a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie with Mario Sunshine mechanics, and a threat to the existence of Kingdom Hearts.

Then I played the game, and my impressions sank.

The morality system was, IMO, poorly balanced. Trying to do good is excessively tedious, and it’s easy to accidentally do evil (Oswald’s kids, anyone?) Then you decide you’re not having fun finding all of Mecha-Goof’s parts, and decide to come back to that collectathon later, only to find that you’re locked out of that and have to pay a ransom instead.

I really hope this version is more than just a new coat of paint.

You’re not wrong, but I honestly wonder what the baseline of that would be if America didn’t have this issue, and how much worse it is now because of us.

The way it was explained to me, or at least the way that made me really comprehend the underlying why… is that this is a direct and foreseeable consequence of our for-profit medical system and the systemic abuse of trust it’s bloomed.

Say, for instance, you suddenly feel ill.

You have to avoid calling an ambulance because the ride alone with bankrupt you.

So you learn to mistrust emergency responders.

You se the doctor and learn your ailment is uncovered.

So you learn to mistrust medical insurance.

You go to the pharmacy and your medication costs almost as much as your beaten down used car. And to boot, it’s full of ingredients you can’t even spell. Who knows what it does?

So you mistrust medicine.

But hey, there’s this Organic all natural snake oil, it’s only $10. You take this placebo, and hey (by complete coincidence) You feel better, and more importantly, you’re not bankrupt!

So the masses have been taught, at every stage of medical care, that ‘the system’ causes more harm than good. So now you’re subconsciously looking for any reason to reject it.

Enter Trump and the Pandemic.

The man didn’t just light the oil spill that was the American distrust of the medical system, he took an industrial flamethrower to it.

It’s easy, and even justified, to blame Trump for the embarrassing and deadly rejection of modern medicine we’re afflicted with, but it wouldn’t have gained traction in the first place if capitalism hadn’t gotten so beyond out of control.

In this specific case, FF3/6 is the same game. 6 was the third game to be localized in English, so on the SNES it was sold as FF3.

Oh Tactics is such an underrated masterpiece. I really hope we get that rumored remaster soon. 3/6 is also amazing, super easy, but so well designed.

What a world we live in, where “most affordable” and $70,000 dollars can be used in the same sentence.

It still burns that Prodigy was barely included in the tribute to Trek animation.

I got the book too! Did you have any luck de-dacting the Rubber Ducky Room pages?

Article mentions nothing with regards to holding corporations accountable nor any plan or threat of action on the president’s part.

Say you did a study that discovered that folks who actively run are statistically unlikely to have respiratory issues. How much of that is because being physically active acts as a kind of preventative maintenance vs how much of that is a kind of self culling, where folks with respiratory issues are unlikely to seek exercise.

The end result is ultimately the same, but the mechanics behind why are different.

Is the wolves’ natural cancer resistance just kicking into over drive, or is natural selection happening?

The researchers discovered that Chernobyl wolves are exposed to upwards of 11.28 millirem of radiation every day for their entire lives - which is more than six times the legal safety limit for a human.

Ms Love found the wolves have altered immune systems similar to cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment, but more significantly she also identified specific parts of the animals’ genetic information that seemed resilient to increased cancer risk.
