  • Might have to watch it. FWIW comparing series, Strange New Worlds straddles the fence between ToS and TNG. It’s got the morality battles of TNG and the absurdity of some ToS episodes. Only issue is the Emotional Spock. Don’t know why these writers and directors have to fuck with Spock all the time.

  • Religion can be used to rationalize slavery. So there.

  • MooOO!

    Jump
  • Is that the one where they race on circular tracks? Those speeds are absolutely insane, over 200mph. I wonder what the G forces are on those cars.

  • We lean towards vegetarian, minimum meat consumption for both health and environmental reasons.

    As far as leaving food out…only foods that don’t require refrigeration. Bread, snacks, etc. Anything cooked that is still hot will be allowed to cool before going into the fridge, no need to make the fridge work harder, but it doesn’t stay out long enough to be a food safety problem.

    Uncooked foods that are dangers to bacteria growth like meats and the like don’t sit out ever or are carefully thawed. Eggs? They’re fine out of the fridge, just crack them individually into a small bowl to make sure they’re good before use. I think I’ve only ever had one bad egg left out and it was pretty obvious, they just last a lot longer if refrigerated. Greens and other veg just wilt and dehydrate if not used quickly unless refrigerated, but leaving them out isn’t an issue. They get washed before use.

    Anyway…I do most all the cooking and take food safety seriously. I’ve had one serious bout of food poisoning from a restaurant and that made death seem like a viable option vs the misery of constantly evacuating everything in your body for a few days, and the memory stuck with me. You can cook great food that’s been prepared to the correct and safe temperature, and I have little issue with foods that have been cooked like this, left out to cool and refrigerated, then reheated to a proper temperature.

    Also… thinking rice or pastas are fine left out because no animal proteins, think again.

  • Probably voted for trump.

  • All went into some billionaire’s pocket who got a tip from the administration to short the stocks.

  • Strip external agencies of personnel, remove efficacy and therefore concentrate more power in trump’s cronies.

  • She wants a shitty America that conforms to her way of thinking. Problem is that trump is making it hard for her by making it hard on her constituents, and her ratings have been falling, so maybe this is all just self-preservation.

  • Cats? My cat blamed me for when she got hiccups and thought I was trying to kill her.

  • What’s with these horrible humans who helped along trump’s and the right wing’s takeover, directly like MTG or indirectly like Rogan, suddenly coming out and criticizing trump? Is it affecting their 401k or stock portfolio or something? No way it’s because they’re suddenly decent people or got an extra braincell or something.

  • This is what it takes to be baffled?

  • Recently read Hayden’s World and there’s some FTL in there that (mostly) obeys relativity and the associated time dilation issues, so that was fun to see. Also, a generally unpleasant experience for the humans on the craft. Otherwise I liked KSR’s Red/Blue/Green Mars, how the story developed travel technology organically on a timeline.

  • Religious authoritarians setting up shop in a state known for right wing militia who support theofascists.

    I can’t tell of they’ll be best buddies or be at each other’s throats.

  • What a spoiled child. Like a kid that fucked up at schools and was still allowed to graduate. The ultimate participation trophy. A life where no actual consideration, effort, or sacrifice need be made and still be handed everything.

    Fuck that guy.

  • IDK…some places have never really had Democracy, or their democracy is openly corrupt, or have been some other shitty leadership for generations. People can live under these systems…just the have/have not division can be really stark.

  • Yeah? Kinda the point. Like absolutely nothing was happening in Portland. Nothing at all. But trump sent troops anyway because Portland is such a hellhole. Now there’s protests, but they seem to be far more entertaining and mocking than anything else.

  • Yes

  • Should load it up with every prof at a private religious institution like Liberty U.
