- Comment on What are the best single episodes to show people new to Trek? 1 day ago:
TNG “Devil’s Due”
Top notch in my opinion. When Picard steps to The Devil (Ardra) is one of my top moments of all time.
I think lots of people could identify with this episode due to it’s scifi content and it’s theological content.

I’ve done this a bunch of times when camping.
Good, crisp apples are the best. A carbonated honeycrisp apple is amazing!!!
- Comment on FTC’s click-to-cancel rule has been struck down by federal judges at the eleventh hour 1 week ago:
This is great advice for signing up for streaming services, and very, very bad advice for a gym membership.
They absolutely will send your delinquent gym membership account to collections and it will wind up on your credit report. This is part of their business plan.
You’d have to sign up with a false identity, which is technically fraud.

I expected nothing yet I’m still disappointed…
- Comment on FTC’s click-to-cancel rule has been struck down by federal judges at the eleventh hour 1 week ago:
I was really hoping this would go into effect so I could sign up for a gym membership. I’ll never sign up with a gym again…Their cancellation processes are offensive and predatory.
The “click-to-cancel” rule would force gyms to allow you to cancel your gym membership as easily as you signed up for it.
For some reason these businesses are against losing the free money they get for making it hard to cancel subscriptions.
It’s been a law in Germany for three years now:
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 5 weeks ago:
People who don’t drink water make me unnaturally irritated. It’s just so crazy. “I don’t breathe air because don’t really like the taste”.
I know I sound like an asshole. It shouldn’t matter to me what you do. It’s your body and your life.
Still…c’mon, like what? It’s water. It brings life. It’s the original thirst quencher. It’s what your body needs. Just drink it.

PCs and all devices will become more locked down, with a small rebellious minority. Pretty much what we have today, but the divide will become greater.
All consumer devices are designed for the consumer to consume content. Music, Movies, Books, TV Shows, Web Sites, Social Media, Video Games…all of it. Very, very few people at the consumer level use computing power to perform complex calculations or process large datasets.
All of that content is someone else’s creation, and they want to get paid for their creation. Either by you directly purchasing/subscribing to what they’ve created, or via advertisers. Everyone has a rent or mortgage and bills to pay and they want to buy food and buy stuff for their kids.
Any time you sit in front of a screen, whether it’s a TV or a PC or a smartphone and begin to consume content, think about that. Whoever created what you’re looking at wants money, just like you want money.
So when a PC isn’t locked down to make sure you’re somehow paying for the content you consume, that upsets the entire supply chain that is delivering this content to your eyes and ears. They have to make sure they’re somehow getting paid…

Why is the Original Tribal Chief in this meme, tho?
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 2 months ago:
Totally agree but for the opposite reason.
Wrasslin’ is very story driven. Not everyone has time to watch, and the sports news outlets is all spoilers.
It’s like a Harry Potter fan opening their news feed to “Snape kills Dumbledore after epic battle!” plastered all over the news on the day after the book came out. (my apologies to any Harry Potter fans who haven’t read all the books or seen all the movies by now, in 2025).
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 2 months ago:
I know professional wrestling is as real as the MCU or the latest episode of Severance. I am still entertained by all three.
Wrestling winds up in the “sports” section because news outlets have to classify it somehow. That’s not the fault of wrestling fans.
There’s really no need in life to yuck other people’s yum. If it’s not for you, that’s cool.

I bet they’ll do it in Waterfall too.
Nah B. This will be Extreme Agile XP with testing exclusively in Prod. Xitter will be the code repository.
- Comment on Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks? 4 months ago:
That song would work! Now to convince all the Taco Trucks to play the same song so we know when they’re around the corner.
- Comment on Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks? 4 months ago:
“It’s Raining Tacos” would work.
The song is not public domain though.
- Comment on Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks? 4 months ago:
Just to be clear I don’t want to own and run a Taco Truck, I just heard the Ice Cream Truck and wished it was a Taco Truck.
Seems like missed opportunity to me, though.
- Comment on Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks? 4 months ago:
I stopped being excited for the Ice Cream Truck decades ago, but if I heard the Taco Truck coming around I’d be super excited and run outside with a big grin.
