I canceled my prime membership and stopped using Amazon entirely after I ordered something that turned out to be drop shipped straight from Walmart. But online shopping in general is a nightmare these days.

Whoa, neat! Apparently they sometimes show up just as blank spots on the Adult Swim TV guide, which I remember seeing in the past but had no idea what it meant. They even have a Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infomercials_(TV_specials)
For those who can’t read music, the song on the poster is (of course) the TOS theme, specifically the iconic part following the voiceover where “STAR TREK” appears on screen. In other words, what you expected it to be. 😉
I recently gave up eating takeout every night, but I’m too lazy to cook, which led to me replacing it with basically nothing but canned food. Like I’ll mix a can of beans and a can of mixed vegetables together, put half in a bowl and put the other half in a container for tomorrow, put salad dressing on it, and then that’s...
First of all, you’re making great steps by changing your diet and asking questions like this! Small steps are sustainable steps.
Canned beans and veggies will definitely retain a lot of their salt regardless of rinsing because of osmosis. You should be able to find low salt/no salt added versions of more common items like tomatoes and black beans - try tasting the difference for yourself! Properly salted things don’t taste salty, because salt will boost other flavors before you taste it. I’ll also echo the recommendation of frozen veggies, and if you have the time and patience for it, dried beans are super cheap and easy to make. But the most important thing is knowing what you can handle as a routine, so if canned is what works for you, then don’t be ashamed.
I love flatties. We had one who even managed to befriend the extremely territorial cat we adopted later in her life. It took her a few months, but they’d cuddle on the couch and follow each other around. So sweet.
Based on my last post I updated my site to include a running “hall of fame” list that features media with the most overlaps (currently not much there). This was something that the community sort of glommed on to, so I made it a feature....
Memory Alpha is the Fandom dot com wiki and it’s got a lot of problems in general, one of which is image hosting. It’s not a TOS or copyright issue; it’s more that the average person won’t be able to see an image you link from it.

I agree with you. T’pring really shows a lot of care & compassion here, and I think it makes her decision at the end of the episode make more sense. We obviously know how this relationship works out in the end, but it really has me interested in how/if Chapel affects the outcome in further SNW episodes. (I’m choosing to believe T’pring hadn’t already scoped out Stonn as a partner by this episode because that seems too cruel for her, but I guess we’ll see.)
