This is exactly what I thought his first episode back. He's living in an episode of The West Wing but it's all Mad Max out here.

I played the first half, years ago. Need to play the rest. Have heard good things.

STD lost me early on, but I liked Stamets and Tilly, and Lorca was interesting. I wish they'd've introduced it as new IP rather than calling it a Trek show, but eh. Different strokes. I got my SNW and I'm happy.

I don't share my password but Disney+ is the one streamer my wife hasn't let me cancel. Would happily leverage even the slightest inconvenience to bolster my argument and ditch the mouse. Make my day, Mickey.

"On Earth, there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you see paradise. Well, it's easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the Demilitarized Zone, all the problems haven't been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints — just people. Angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with Federation approval or not!"

Some of the best TV ever.

I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It's not so much the expense. It's the principle.

I'm still bummed that Bitbucket is going cloud-only. We've been using it on-premises for years and it has been lovely. Atlassian must be concerned that their customers won't follow them into the cloud bc they just sent out a customer survey (about two years two late).

From the Wikipedia article linked below:

A rotor ship is a type of ship designed to use the Magnus effect for propulsion. The ship is propelled, at least in part, by large powered vertical rotors, sometimes known as rotor sails. German engineer Anton Flettner was the first to build a ship that attempted to tap this force for propulsion, and ships using his type of rotor are sometimes known as Flettner ships.

According to the article, experts currently believe that writing was invented independently at least four times:

• Mesopotamia (between 3400 and 3100 BCE)
• Egypt (around 3250 BCE)
• China (1200 BCE)
• Mesoamerica (by 500 BCE)

There is still debate around Rongorongo script and Vinča symbols, since no is sure if they are actually writing systems.

Or maybe we shouldn't go storming into people's houses with guns and tactical gear at all.

I've got one. I thought John Carter was a fun movie and I have no idea why everyone was so pissed off about it.
