  Well, the walk did finally happen, so there were adequate suits, although one of the astronauts had trouble with the suit she was initially assigned.

  You have to remember that of the 18 original suits, only 11 still exist, and something like as few as 4 might be on the station at a time. Also, the suits were originally intended to return to Earth often (shuttle days), but now are kept on the ISS longer and are maintained by the astronauts themselves. Given the losses of some suits, the limited nature of the maintenance, and the limit on how many are kept in orbit at a time, it isn’t scandalous that sometimes astronauts find themselves to be either too large or too small for the suits at hand.

  That’s certainly a misremembering of what happened, yes

  Farmer is absolutely great in it. Alan is good in it but for me Gary steals every scene he’s in.

  Villains or heroes isn’t the issue. It’s the argument that we need a group that doesn’t play by the rules that apply to the rest of society that I find problematic.

  Shouldn’t we strive for a world in which the rules really do apply to all? Can’t we hope to conceive of a set of laws standards by which we should all be judged? Isn’t the world of Star Trek meant in some way to be aspirational, rather than just a reflection of what we have now?

  Yeah. Reading the article, Section 31 seems great if you just want to just shit on everything else in the franchise. Nope, not for me.

  On the other hand, a colorful sorting would only negatively affect you when you are actively looking for a book.

  No, unfortunately, it would remind me every time that I looked at it that I had somehow married someone who thought this was acceptable.

  While a tool that extends your reach is useful, when dealing with a difficult to reach spider, your best asset is the element of surprise!
