Going into it I wasn’t sure about a school-based Star Trek, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the first two episodes. It helps that the characters are a little older than I thought they were going to be (university instead of high school), but there was also some enjoyable writing in there that kept me interested and made me laugh a few times. Shout out to SAM, I was concerned at first because these fish-out-of-water characters are easy to make annoying but I ended up quite liking her.

I did have a few issues (I still don’t love the burn as a plot device), but overall I’m interested to see what happens in the next episode.

Also, yay Prodigy references!

Always felt they missed out on the opportunity by not highlighting OCTranspo

I generally do this with the exception of query terms that indicate I got the link from their RSS feed. Just want to make sure their statistics indicate that they should keep supporting it.

I went through much of the same process while applying for a role at Canonical. They asked me the same 38 questions for a junior position (straight out of uni but with co-op experience), which I still found strange even at my level because I’ve graduated from university, so why do you care that much about my high school? It took a super long time to hear back about anything, and I dipped out before doing the the technical interview because I got another offer from a company that wasn’t jerking me around.

What happens in 2029?

Seem to recall this story from r/nosleep a long time ago. That’s one of the things I still haven’t replaced from my reddit days, I liked reading through the top stories every once in a while. There really were some gems. I just got an AO3 account so maybe I can find something like that again, but I’m not too familiar with the site.

I took a course on quantum computing in university. It’s a really neat technology and it can absolutely do things inconceivable by classical computing, but classical computers still do most stuff way better. In a rational world these chips would be developed and then used for their niche purposes, but I’m definitely concerned that this will be another technology indiscriminately shoved in our faces to try to capitalize on a bubble.

Might he just be joking? https://maia.crimew.gay/posts/adrian-dittmann/ suggests he’s not a sockpuppet

yeah fuck ontario (i am also from ontario)

And by running a casino that rakes in millions of dollars off kids. I can appreciate the positives he’s done with Steam, but I’m not about to ignore the negatives.

As opposed to the floor. The phrase says “I threw up a little bit, but small enough that I could keep it in my mouth”. Mostly useful in face-to-face scenarios where it’s obvious you didn’t actually just throw up, but you still want to get your disgust across.

Always a struggle for me. I saw Canada’s demo CF-18 at an airshow a few years back and was having simultaneous thoughts of “so this is why we can’t afford clean water for our indigenous communities” and “HOLY SHIT IT SOUNDS SO COOL”.

In addition to the reasons other people mention, placebo is a helluva drug. If you believe the name brand is better, it may actually become more effective for you even if the active ingredients are the same as the generic.
