- Comment on Why don;t most of us Americans only need like one foreign language to pass high school? Why not make it mandatory for like 3 or 4 languages?Would that not give us the upper hand when traveling? 15 hours ago:
Or Catalan or Galician. And near Portugal, Portuguese.

In Spain there are places where two languages are taught at once since the first minute. There are two official languages. And a third one is taught soon after that.
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 2 days ago:
No. It means the airline is a cooperative business.
Anarchy means the laws are made by everyone nor by a small group of people. And nobody can have more power than the rest. It’s, to simplify it, the end of “because I say so”.

A Moto G7 Power with LineageOS.
- Comment on Why is Windows still bloated 1 week ago:
The worst part is MS knew how to do it. They could encapsulate all the legacy code and only load it when needed. But it seem they forgot how to do it again 🤷♂️
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Native Spanish, very good Catalan, good English and some (not enough to speak them) Portuguese, Italian and French.

But you’ll agree that they can’t be mad at once for Tilli not being fit and for the students in Academy for being too fit.
- Comment on Why are flat earthers so badly harassed and ridiculed by globers? 2 weeks ago:
Imagine someone told you, looking to your eyes, that you don’t exist. Would you say “maybe that person is right and I don’t exist”?
- Comment on Karim Diané on playing Star Trek’s first gay Klingon 2 weeks ago:
“A Russian in a USS ship? This cannot be”
“A bald captain? This cannot be”
“A woman captain? This cannot be”
…
The same people that said Tilly didn’t belong in ST because weight are the same that say people in STA are too good looking. Chose one side, people. Either “no non perfect people” or “no beautiful people”, not both.

Something like finding the her pattern taking it from his memories. After all, there’s telepathy, warp jumps, … so why not.

Anisha won’t be in season 2 so maybe in season 3.

Just what the Gaza people need: much more space for living.

Pifia: When Caleb is sitting in the bed, the trousers are on or off depending on the camera.

I guess it was for the same reason Wolverine’s suit is yellow: it looks good on paper.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x06 "Come, Let's Away" 5 weeks ago:
The only thing that upset me was the “on/off” Caleb’s trousers. Every plane change the trousers “toggled”.

I don’t mean the name itself. I mean the way Michael behaves. Even more when you think that she was adopted by a Vulcan family.

My main problem with DIS has a name: Michael Burnham. Not the actress, the script.
And about your question: no, the crying is only in scenes that work (traumatic or sentimental enough) unlike DIS.

If I can understand her almost 100% not being myself a native English speaker, the problem is not her.

Twice the full energy the Sun gives the Earth in a year for each person is not a future fusion reactor level. 😀

So 340 PWh per person. A couple of guys with a static bike and a dynamo and that’s it😜

Think of a gaming PC from the 90s. And now imagine asking the same then.
- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 2 months ago:
There’s no need for that speed. Ships won’t have to be build on the ground. The ideal is having an space dock at the geosync part and only move up and down the payload, not the ships.
- Comment on If a Space Elevator became a reality, wouldn't the cable act as a kind of wick for all of the unfiltered radiation from outside our atmosphere? 2 months ago:
The way a normal elevator works is one way to lessen the problem: the port on the top is used to launch cargo AND to receive it, so when you make the outgoing cargo rise you use the incoming cargo as the balance. 1 ton goes up, 1 ton goes down.

And not all would fall. Part of it would be launched outwards by inertia.
- Comment on How long would it take a black Hole to fully absorb a person from event horizon to center of the earth style? 2 months ago:
The extreme case is a photon crossing the universe. For an outside observer, it will take the photon billions of years to cross the universe. For the photon there is no time at all.

Maybe from the POV of the person falling.
