“We are clan Wolf…”

I’ve been rewatching TNG and recognizing all sorts of actors who played Seinfeld side characters, etc but never realized Barclay and Murdock were the same actor.

Mind blown.

Thanks!

Remember that time little Billy had a face?

Cloaking for pre- first-contact missions makes a ton of sense. I think if the enterprise showed up in orbit today, we’d notice.

But if it is outlawed by treaty, that’s that.

Phasing just seems like really good shields to me—defensive, but not covert. How many times would the Enterprise been able to just outright avoid entire story lines if it couldn’t be touched? Not even confrontational issues—like when asteroid dust introduced metal-eating parasites, that just wouldn’t have happened.

Although, just like any advantage, even a defensive advantage like phasing could be used for offensive purposes (invasion, etc) unless an equal counter to it is developed.

Thinking about it further, you’d almost assume any people with the technology of faster than light travel would have had to develop some form of phasing tech prior to the FTL stuff…

It is very interesting, but I wish the article was a bit longer and was more specific about the comparative impacts of the water distribution effects it referred to.

The article basically says “stuff changed, here are a couple of numbers”, but it didn’t elaborate on the actual changes and effects and how they compare to 20 or 50 years ago from either an ecological vantage point or human experience point of view.

Show me a cheap city with a warm climate on a grid system with amazingly friendly people, and I’ll show you hell on Earth.

Go Sox!

Bro 1: I took a girl home last night, now it hurts when I pee.

Bro 2: You think she gave you the clap?

Bro 1: Nah, bro. Splinters.

Take a photo of your filthy windshield in the sun so you have something to post as engage-bait when you get home…

Or don’t ever outside and just repost other people’s engage-bait…

Either way.

Perhaps it’s my own lack of imagination, ability to organize, or personal challenges in seeing through a sustained effort; but, I just can’t imagine what I would do with that many dollars…

The I-Team asked her son if she felt that the U.S. had failed his mom.

So, just how much paint do you have to drink before they let you graduate from journalism school?

I feel seen.

It is known.

That’s what Voldemort used to hide the prime directive from Ra’s al Ghul after Boromir tried to steal it from Optimus Prime at the Battle of New Caprica.

Nearly one in five voters told an American University survey they or someone they know would not vote for a woman as president, including one-quarter of women under 50 and nearly 20 percent of men under 50.

In this survey, a larger percentage of women under 50 said they (or someone they knew) wouldn’t vote for a woman as president, compared to men who responded.

I agree the country is ready to be led by a female president, but I also agree with Michele Obama that the current electorate is not ready to elect that leader.

I think Russian misinformation efforts are currently far more effective than we are aware of at present.

It can be used to assist in removing water from the bowl of certain toilets. In those facilities, inmates can use the toilet pipe network to communicate.

Large amounts of soaked toilet paper can be used as large spitball projectiles, thrown at guards as a momentary distraction to allow for a follow-up attack or other capitalization on the distraction.

Some use it to cover up lights or windows, sometimes mixing with Vaseline to produce a wick for cooking food, clogging plumbing in the cell to cause a flood, and even arts and crafts purposes.

For all those reasons above, plus making cigarette paraphernalia, the toilet paper itself becomes a jail commodity or even currency.

It is a jailhouse resource, and a valuable one.

The fact the brother made an effort to clarify who it isn’t vs who it is seems like it just puts a target on his own back. Not sure why he’d volunteer any info after what happened to his brother…

The answer is Massachusetts, the hillbillies from New Hampshire just cross the border for medical care and some of their kids go to schools in Boston.
