To be fair, the Vulcans did find Sybok so disagreeable they excommunicated him.

I haven't seen all of Discovery, Enterprise, or DS9 so I'm completely unqualified to participate in this, but I'll make a write-in vote for Original-flavor T'Pring. Biiiiiiiishhhhhhh

SNW T'Pring though, I love her. She's got actual depth and I can empathize with her.

Runner-up: TOS T'Pau. Stuck-up xenophobe, plus they gave her that dumb early modern English dialogue of thees and thous that was supposed to convey ancient wisdom or something but they conjugated it all wrong and it's annoying as hell

I loved Valeris though. She was an important window into how Vulcan "logic" isn't a formal system of maths and proofs but a multiplicity of systems that each try to be internally consistent. I didn't agree with her conclusion, like I wasn't meant to, but I actually thought she was a very courageous person for acting on her own moral conviction.

Agreed, none of them would make a fantastic doctor. I was trying to think of what role Mikey could fill, and honestly I don't think he's grown up enough to be any kind of senior officer. Cowabunga, lower deckers!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Cowabunga" would make a great warp phrase⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
This is weird and it's nonsense. Obviously Leonardo is the captain. First Officer would have to be Raphael, arguing with the captain's decisions then giving in. Donatello IS an engineer, so that's clearly his job. And that only leaves Michaelangelo to be the doctor. ...Don't get too injured, guys.

If you consent to it, it's ethical. It is not otherwise.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was inevitable.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
The episode did its job challenging viewers with the question, because people still argue about this today. But to me there's an actual, unambiguous answer: 4.823 seconds after transport autosequence initiation, when the emitter array completed the materialization cycle.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no. They lost contact with Voyager 1. You all know what this means!⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
They've retired that one. Now it's "kindly" everything, sometimes wrapped in ridiculously floral language like "my beloved".
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This was inevitable.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Moreover, Neelix and especially Tuvok as an enlisted Starfleet officer consented to the risk of death that comes with serving aboard a starship. And that's exactly what happened to them. Tuvix was never given the choice and was murdered for having had the bad fortune to be born aboard Voyager. So much for seeking out new life.

Is there something wrong with 2FAS?

Get the ones with sliding zippers. Some cables are thick enough to strain against the regular ones and pop them open.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My entire inheritance is a box⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I put individual cables in ziploc bags now. They can't get tangled, and they're really easy to sort through.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coding Addiction: How Programming Affects Your Brain⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
My brain goblins love refactoring. I love taking a rusty pile of shit and making it shine. I want to polish something old, or build something completely new. Adding features to existing code is the part I hate.

It would need a webring button or five, as well as an "under construction" gif.

I'm certain there'll be Tom and Will Riker self-cest out there, if that counts.

Aren't you thinking of The Search for Spock? I don't remember any Klingons at all in ST2. Or do you mean that ST3 wouldn't have happened without ST2?

taH Pagh taHbe'! That is the question.

Undiscovered Country is my favorite TOS movie, even above The Wrath of Khan.

For me it was really quick. S1E4, If the Stars Should Appear.

I'll defend Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone open this pickle jar?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Held up against Discovery or JJ's movies? Absolutely better. But I don't think it's defensible to say it surpasses ALL of Trek.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can someone open this pickle jar?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I love the humor in it. Gordon and Lamarr racing to deliver some news was one of the funniest goddamn things I've ever seen (trying not to spoil it if someone wants to watch and hasn't yet). But that humor was a little too juvenile at the very start. My guess has been that the earlier stuff was for the benefit of funding. They expected Family Guy in Space, so he delivered it, for a handful of episodes, then took the show where it was supposed to be.

I just got burned out on Moclan drama, and the Kaylon got a little too Star Wars for me.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real quick question about the "break"⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I came up with a contrived example for the sake of illustration, and deliberately chose to use LINQ to build the enumerable because of how valuable it can be in filtering and ordering data. Where and TakeWhile alone can replace a whole lot of continues and breaks.

Your code does the same job as my first example, and it's simpler, and maybe that's more appropriate for the class.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real quick question about the "break"⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

Fine:

var enumerable = Enumerable.Range(0, 100)
    .Where(i => i % 2 != 0)
    .TakeWhile(i => i < JUST_THE_WORST_NUMBER);
foreach (int i in enumerable)
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
}

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real quick question about the "break"⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
OP said ignoring the rule is an instant fail. They don't have that option.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real quick question about the "break"⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I suspect/hope she's not "against" using break and continue as much as trying to teach your brain to solve the type of problem at hand without relying on breaks.

Like this
```
const int JUST_THE_WORST_NUMBER = 13;

for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
    if (i % 2 == 0)
        continue;
    
    if (i >= JUST_THE_WORST_NUMBER)
        break;
    
    Console.WriteLine(i);
}
```
could effectively be rewritten like this, which I think actually is clearer in a way:
```
const int JUST_THE_WORST_NUMBER = 13;
foreach (int i in Enumerable.Range(0, 100).Where(i => i % 2 != 0).TakeWhile(i => i < JUST_THE_WORST_NUMBER))
{
    Console.WriteLine(i);
}
```
Treat it as a thought exercise and just do it her way. Like someone else said, it's also good practice at unhappily conforming to your organization's standards and practices.
