The cameras next to the toilet and in the shower and on three walls and the ceiling of the bedrooms are probably violating some laws. 

Wait, all of a sudden *now* we’re going to keep track of and care about people at the highest levels of gov’t making insane statements, or gibberish...?

“Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) and Will Riker (Jonathan Frakes), joined by their daughter, Kestra (Annabelle’s Lulu Wilson).”

This is your profile’s only comment. Weird hill to die on pal.

Could it be that they genuinely don’t care about the characters arc, and just want to tell a story that has an old guy named Picard in it? I mean, lack of context for an established character having a personality shift that eradicates the work of previous writers and the actor himself isn’t irritating to you guys?

I know that he was a flat-earther but I was more interested in his homemade “rocketry” more than anything. At least he died doing harm to no one but himself.

...died on Saturday in a tragic accident.

Freedom my man.  Freedom.  You gotta let people do their own thing.  Stupid or not.

I’m on the fence about ‘Picard’. I suppose in some ways I’m sort of a purist, but not so much so that I haven’t been able to enjoy all of the previous series (save for Discovery, but that’s a different bag to unpack).  I won’t go as far as some here to say it isn’t ‘Trek’, but there are things in the details of the…

Agree.

I think the visceral horror helps to reinforce Hugh’s comment in a previous episode about how the ex-Borg are not viewed as worthy of compassion. Sedating Icheb would imply some minimal care for his welfare.

It’s not insignificant, and any plan has to account for the potential real human cost of people losing their jobs, and have a credible transition plan to deal with that. At the same time, politicians of both parties talk endlessly about “reducing government waste” and reducing the size of the government, which…

You’re missing the bigger picture here. Forget the ability to remake movies....

Damn this is beautiful and shows how to be a real parent.

The immune system is instrumental at identifying and destroying cells with deleterious mutations. Cancer only occurs when those cells escape immune surveillance. Newer therapies like checkpoint inhibitors and anti CTLA4 therapy target the very mechanisms that malignant cells use to escape immune surveillance and use…

Cancer basically is just a mutation that turns off the cell’s kill-switch when it’s damaged. So a healthy cell will trigger apoptosis and die, while the cancer mutation changes the cell so it doesn’t kill itself off and continues to multiply. The problem with curing cancer is that there’s virtually no way to isolate…

Our immune system is already designed to kill off overactive cells—it just doesn’t always get the job done. So these techniques are really just amping up their effectiveness. That said, one reason why CAR T cell therapy can be dangerous is that altering these cells CAN make the immune system more likely to attack the…

You do realize that trump doesn’t care one whit if “building a wall” results in any sort of effective barrier, yes? It’s about a photo-op to convince the xenophobic base that “he’s protected them”, plus graft and kick-backs to what ever trump ‘contributor’ was handed the no contest governmental contract. Recall how…

Well, she earned that award, that’s for sure. Rarely have I seen a bigger CUNT.

I think it’s interesting that sentient androids were almost impossible to create but apparently sentient holograms were trivially easy.
