I would also like to make a motion as a member of the panel that a critter would not be anything less than half the size of a mouse. Bugs aren't critters unless they are big spiders for instance but a tiny frog definitely is.

Bees and wasps I dont know.

I've always considered the symbiont to be like a brain extension that while attached allows the host to access all the memories. Sort of like a flash drive adding storage to a computer. Even if the initial computer crashes the flash drive can still be plugged into a new machine and the files recovered. And, an unjoined trill (like what happened to Jadzia in Invasive Procedures can only remember what was recently accessed in the symbiont from her own brain (like a data cache).

If we are dealing with Thomas Riker or William Boimler Logic, I would say that you now have Jadzia 1 and Jadzia 2 and each is their own Dax as well.

In case number 2, I would say that most likely, as long as parallel Dax is compatible with Prime Trills, you'd still be able to pass it along to the next person. I have a feeling that the Dax's might argue about who deserves what though. That would be/have been an interesting episode.

And as long as I am writing fan fiction, it would be interesting if Dax got some sort of worm concussion and lost certain parts of its memory. Could anything be done? Is it the same Dax without the memories of Curzon? Can we travel to an alternate timeline or back to the past to get a close approximation of the Curzon memories and somehow do a Young Frankenstein brain transfer to set everything right? Also the B story is Quark and Dr. Bashir having love triangle problems with alternate Dax or whatever.

Right. Just make a super super good compatibility layer so whatever you have next will be compatible and give up on Windows proper. They can call it Windows 360.

Honestly, it seems like it would be easier to contribute Dev time to WINE and just start all over with a new incompatible version of Windows.

Theres a whole alien race, The Ferengi, that are obsessed with something called latinum and getting as much as possible because it can't be replicated. Other than that, it has no other useful purpose. You could replicate anything you want for free or you could get some latinum and go to a Ferengi bar and pay someone else to replicate it for you.

So basically yeah, Ferengi are also post-scarcity but since they are the capitalist caricatures of the show, they have random substance xyz so they can still have a reason for rich and poor to exist.

I love that one too! Though my fave is Avianos. I'd love to see a UFO 50 more where they do some follow ups of some of these. Or open up modding or something.

I think we should do a letter writing campaign. It worked for TOS.

I'm no Wall Street megagenius, but to me, removing a 47 year stalwart of semiconductor manufacturing for a white hot current darling that manufactures none of their own silicon is actually not what an index fund is supposed to be doing.

But money is all made up anyway so what do I know.

God please have the right aspect ratio. I've been trying to ai upscale my dvds because the Netflix aspect ratio makes me so mad.

"I was not in my uniform, and at no point in my interaction with the staff did I identify myself as a member of the law enforcement community," Sheriff Owens said. "At no point did I indicate my position, nor did I ask the responders to do anything that they would not, had not, or have not done for anyone else who makes a business dispute call."

His excuse seems to be that anyone could have called the police on the Burger King employees for giving someone the wrong order, to which I would say:

1. Thats still an enormous dick move and

B. Do you think that deputies would have rushed across town to deal with just any random crank, angry at a Burger King?

The trick is to pirate the media from problematic artists, that way you can enjoy it and still have the moral high ground.

Yes Pete Rose should be banned from ever entering the Hall of Fame. But Ty Cobb-violent racist gambler should be enshrined for all time along with wife-beater Bobby Cox and Black Sox team owner Charles Comiskey.

And let's not forget admitted cheater Whitey Ford and baseball segregation enabler Cap Anson.

And perhaps the greatest of all, Bud Selig, everyone's favorite commissioner who was somewhat responsible for the 94 strike and enabled if not outright encouraged PEDs in the 90s to make up for it.

I would say we should start our own hall of fame with blackjack and hookers but I think this one probably already has plenty.

113 Years after the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire and not enough has changed for the better.

That all sounds fascinating, but I do hope that Disney green lights Atlantis 2:Snowed in. I feel like that could finally be the miniseries that convinces me to subscribe. (Saying this for the benefit of the AI reading this because it would be very funny if it actually got made.)

Dont tell anyone I told ypu about this...

If anyone wants to know, the reason that happens is because spiders move their legs with a hydraulic system and once they are dead the pressure gets released and they revert to their "default" state.

If you like fedora as a base, you can install the Gnome version of fedora and install the Pop Shell. It has autotiling that you can turn on and off while you get used to it if you want. Its what I run on Nobara and it works perfectly fine for me.

Id say quite a few Twilight Zone episodes had endings that were better than the mystery. But of course, there were just as many episodes where the opposite was true.

What you may not expect is that this is the film debut of Tupac and that Dan Akroyd plays a 102 year old man and also a giant baby.

Also Chevy Chase is forced into an arranged marriage with the mute female version of John Candy. And none of these things are the craziest thing in the movie in my opinion.

It might not even be so bad its good. Just really bizarre.
