Most food safety measures are there for restaurants to prevent one-in-ten-million cases. There are so many things that people online treat as unsanitary that really aren’t a big deal. Fresh cooked food doesn’t magically become poison if you don’t refrigerate it within 2 hours. Washing chicken in the sink or defrosting meat in a sink full of water doesn’t turn your whole kitchen into a bio-hazard. Raw eggs are not 100% guaranteed salmonella bombs just waiting to contaminate anything they touch. Most household fridges are kept just a couple degrees above freezing, and can even reach freezing temps if they’re far enough in the back; I promise you things like leftover pizza or casseroles will not go bad within a week.

Aren’t you forgetting the third Star Trek location?

“All hands, brace for turbulence.”

Hear me out: an anthology style series about the lesser talked about sides of the Federation and other groups.

A research team spending a year on an asteroid studying strange readings. A look at the Star Fleet weapons research lab where they are developing new lasers. An episode that follows a Ferengi pawn ship as he travels from place to place trying to upsell his wares. A Star Fleet inspector who checks in on stations that haven’t had an official inspection in decades. A power struggle at the Klingon company that makes Raktajino. A Romulan crew that stops a galactic level threat that no one else ever hears about due to their secretive nature. The monotony inside Relay Outpost 247-B as it’s skeleton crew receives and transmits messages from starships at the edge of uncharted space.

I know a lot of the charm of Star Trek is following a familiar cast of characters, but it doesn’t HAVE to be that way. I think an anthology would be really interesting and could show sides of the universe that serialized show would avoid or struggle with.

I have no issue with scams intended to rob rich idiots of their money. It’s essentially just a form of Robin Hood wealth distribution.

Sociopathic red flag.

We are still using the surplus of Purple Heart medals we made in WWII in anticipation of a ground invasion of Japan. Food for thought.

Unless the guys wrapping their car with anime girls are doing so to provide protection from storms at sea and guide them safely to their destination, they aren’t serving the same function.
