They named the bill wrong - it should be Kids' Act for Online Safety- KAOS.

Try to train a human comedian to make jokes without ever allowing him to hear another comedian's jokes, never watching a movie, never reading a book or magazine, never watching a TV show. I expect the jokes would be pretty weak.

Memento is the most extreme cases of this I've ever experienced. A week later, I was still walking around with a notebook, slide rule, and french curve trying to work out what the hell actually happened in that bitch.
- Comment on Canon Connections: LDS 4x06 - Parth Ferengi's Heart Place 1 year ago:
The question about Cardassian weapons got me trying to remember what they used in STO. Even though it's not canon, I though it might be of interest:
the Cardassian Keldon Cruiser is well-engineered to tackle nearly any combat scenario. It comes pre-equipped with Spiral Wave Disruptor Beam Arrays. These fire a unique energy type that combines the special effects of Phasers and Disruptors, as well as having slightly higher damage and accuracy than other beam weapons.

It's always comforting to know that if I run out of stuff to watch, there's still 25 years of unwatched Simpsons episodes as a buffer.

I thought it was interesting that Modern Family was sort of presented as a reality show, but as far as I can remember, they never showed any of the crew/interviewers.

When I looked, aebeltrae's translation a ove agreed with my print dictionary with the exception of the last syllable, which I couldn't find. The link on this page does have the last syllable, so it looks like they nailed it.

I'm not getting Sam? The transliteration looks right, but I don't see it in the dictionary.

They have ads in Elvish and Star Wars Galactic Standard, too. If nobody translates it before I get home, I'll break out the old dictionary. https://www.thestable.com.au/we-are-more-castra-the-worlds-first-elvish-ads/

- Comment on Best Star Trek Books 1 year ago:
The two recent series that stick out for me are IKS Gorkon by Keith R.A. DeCandido and Typhon Pact.
If you liked the Klingon-centric episodes of DS9 and were left wanting more, the Gorkon series fills that void.
Typhon Pact salvages the Ezri Dax character, has a lot of good Riker bits, and features "the Romulan Star Empire, the Breen Confederacy, the Tholian Assembly, the Gorn Hegemony, [&] the Tzenkethi."

- Comment on Ups & Downs From Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 2.10 - Hegemony 1 year ago:
Watched it a couple of days ago. Mostly on point and had a few good catches. One disagreement: he dunked on "Is that one of ours?" While not strictly necessary, that helped the viewer piece together the Miracle Worker's appearance later on if you weren't watching the episode through a microscope.
- Comment on what is the procedure of buying a ship load of any cargo? ex; corn or paraffin wax? 1 year ago:
You can get 24MT of corn in a 20 foot container. So step 1 is deciding whether you want 96 or 120MT. For comparison, a mid-sized container ship can carry 6000 containers.

That's really a key point. Transitioning from a world where Dan Quayle got eviscerated for 'potatoe' to a Trump presidency (or Johnson, Berlusconi, Putin, Abbot, AfD, blablabla) has left scars and certain needs when it comes to entertainment.
Reverse that polarity on the deflector and match the harmonic frequency. Mmmmm.
