“The side that stays within its fortifications is beaten”

Napoleon Bonaparte

Not only do you need to strike at the enemy’s territories and hold it to win, you need to threaten to keep it if you want to restore your original borders. Going to the peace table with enemy cities your pocket is a classic way to negotiate for your own land back. The more Russian land the Ukranians take, the more likely we will see a restoration of old borders.

“Paris to Voyager, you got me this round. Splitting the missile at the bottom just as the bonus plane flew over was a dirty trick, but it worked.”

Very yes. They could reveal their location for starters, which could spoil a mission and put lives at risk, but if they use the same device on both this and the ships network, you risk compromising the ship’s network or even the Navy itself, giving our enemies all kinds of sensitive info.

We are in the midst of a world war being waged in cyberspace and the US is losing. Incidents like this are a genuine threat.

Finally we get to see the whole Jackie Jormp-Jomp story.

I use Plex. Jellyfin looks great, I try it every so often to see how it’s progressed, but it’s just not quite polished enough for me to make the switch yet.

I used this as my guide: https://thestartrekchronologyproject.blogspot.com/2009/09/and-now-conclusion.html

Except of course the Enterprise finale, I watch that at the end of enterprise, not in the middle of TNG.

TNG was being first aired throughout my childhood and I would catch the odd episode here and there when I got to stay up and watch it with my parents to guide me, as suggested. But I didn’t get into Trek properly until I worked in construction as a labouror, my first job. When there’s no work, there’s daytime TV re-runs. The Space Network, the Canadian version of The Sci-Fi Channel, would run 2 TNGs back to back from 12-2. I got way into it then. I then watched all the series’. Now, every year or two, I’ll just throw on the first episode of TOS and go right until the end of the whole franchise in mostly air date order. I even have a playlist that has all of the overlapling seasons from the 90s to play as one big series, playing each episode by air date/chronological order based on a chronology I found online. Keeps it spicy.

Almost like our tools are alien to him for some reason.

I grew up eating vegetables flavored with boiled water. My parents thought they cracked the gourmet code when they switched to steam flavored veggies. I had no idea vegetables could be delicious until I was an adult.

The origins are disputed, but it has been called Africa for over a thousand years, absolutely.

From the internet: ‘The origin of the name “Africa” is greatly disputed by scholars. Most believe it stems from words used by the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans. Important words include the Egyptian word Afru-ika, meaning “Motherland”; the Greek word aphrike, meaning “without cold”; and the Latin word aprica, meaning “sunny.”’

I think it would be funnier if he was standing on the ground with his fists up.

All it takes is a few seconds of looking away, something even the best parents do. Especially at a museum. “Look at this, honey” crash.

Director makes a great film because they want to make a great film. It does so well, Hollywood sees this as a “working formula” and spend millions and millions on market research trying to ensure that they can repeat that working formula again and again. They pass these scripts around to ensure it hits the metrics set out by market research, no one is reading it to see if it is good. Good is subjective, market research is concrete and on paper, connected to profitability.

But movies are art, not fast food. They don’t work like Hollywood tries to make them work. Good movies are made by good movie makers. The Golden Age of TV started by the Sopranos ended when they started telling people like Aaron Sorkin and David Simon to change their scripts to meet market research.

Yeah, this question came up when they were being published and was settled then by the man himself. What a useless article.

This is the funniest comment on this whole post.

Ablism.

Good. Every headset is a high end head set, the market is saturated. We need a new Rift, or just a quest with a display port. There is nothing in that range except leftover rifts. That would sell millions.
