For the readers questioning how others could possibly gain pleasure through spending money this way, let’s remember the following human activities:

I think there could be big opportunities for the Doctor, not only in Picard, but Discovery too. Remember the Voyager episode where a copy of the Doctor’s program is downloaded into an alien database a hundred years in the future? That one ends with him getting in a shuttle and making a lonesome trip back to earth to…

I think it’s IMPORTANT to establish what became of the Doctor in light of the AI ban.

Some of this is in modern architecture in hot climates. I would have to dig around for the details, but there is a huge building in Africa that keeps it’s temp like at 80 degrees in the hottest time of year. It was designed to dissipate heat from the building. Then has a few massive fans that circulate air through it.…

Not a tangent! People have lived in hot, humid climates for millennia before the development of refrigeration, and a lot of the ability to do that is based in passive cooling technologies. The people who built it might not call it tech, but it absolutely is. We may not be able to retrofit older buildings, and…

2020, I fucking hate you so much.

Man, this sucks. In my opinion, Grant was the nerd I want to be, taking and spreading joy in everything he did. 

Mythbusters probably came on TV too late to change what I do, but Grant certainly made me want to create contraptions. Incredibly unfair that he’ll never make anything again.  His passion probably helped fuel thousands of kid’s passion for it too.

Just put their photos from news stories and social media posts up in the emergency rooms in the area. Since they are not wearing a mask in any of them they should be pretty easy to spot.

I feel like I’ve been posting this quote a lot, but it seems relevant:

When I was stationed in Germany they didn’t require seat belts but if you weren’t wearing one in an accident, your insurance didn’t have to cover you. We need laws like that. Not laws that force people to do things, like wear masks, buy laws that punish them for being stupid. You don’t HAVE to wear a mask but there…

never gets old

The anxiety this sort of shit causes me is something I’ve never experienced before. I mean, I’ve dealt with anxiety my entire life, but this absolute confirmation that I’m surrounded by fucking idiots and led by someone who would gladly kill literally everyone in the country if he thought it made him look good... it’s…

I suggest that anyone seeking admittance to a hospital, after intentionally attending any gathering unmasked and without distancing, be asked to “Please wait in the morgue. Someone will be with you eventually”

I think it would be nice if we could get a list of everybody involved, and when they show up at the hospital with symptoms, tell them, “sorry, you’re responsible for your own medical decisions. Nobody would have even known you were sick if you hadn’t told us. Besides, more than 99% recover. Stay in your house.” Then…

I really wish gamers would internalize at least this one thing:

My wife and I might have watched that video a dozen times in a row when it came out. We instantly put words into our dog’s mouth: “Don’t want no birdies on my lawn/Bark at the birdies on my lawn”.

Plants vs Zombies is the first I really time I really felt like casual games didn’t need to be trash. Thanks for that. It and Bejeweled will always rank among my favorite casual friendly games.

Also, Laura Shigihara is a fucking treasure. You guys knocked it out of the park with this and her!
