Very good. I’ve seen too many random Google Forms going around just harvesting emails / info to plug my details into any that I don’t click into from a legit/verified site.

Is that an official Google form and/or who am I providing my (required) email address to?

So it’s not just me. Okay. Of the group, I was the only one who experienced that.

I’ve only tried salvia twice, and it always made me feel like my body was being twisted clockwise. Not for me.

Laughter is the best medicine. If that doesn’t work, try 50 ccs of inaprovoline. If inaprovoline doesn’t work, slap them.

- Comment on Why doesn't Star Trek use TrekLit for streaming shows? 2 days ago:
I’m currently reading “Star Trek: Destiny” and the Borg seem to be the big bad.
- Comment on Why doesn't Star Trek use TrekLit for streaming shows? 2 days ago:
I don’t really have a solid answer, and have only recently gone down the TrekLit rabbit hole, but I’d venture a couple of guesses:
- Many of them utilize existing characters, so that might be problematic given the age of the cast and/or their availability.
- I vaguely recall that existing characters for different series have to pay royalties to the writer who invented the character. I think this was the case for Nick Locarno and Tom Paris
- Probably some other IP legalese mucking things up as it is wont to do
When I posted yesterday looking to get some book suggestions, many of them involved existing characters. I think the “The Fall” series is all original characters, so it would probably be a good candidate. There’s probably others, but I’m not familiar enough yet to name any more.
The actor age / availability problem is probably solvable if the series was animated, though.

The Destiny trilogy by David Mack
Bought that one yesterday and am literally reading it now. Loving it so far; the pacing is fantastic.

Not long after the end of DS9. Garak is back on Cardassia Prime helping to rebuild after the end of the Dominion War. The framing structure of the book is a series of journal entries and letters from Garak to Dr. Bashir, so it covers a lot of time periods.

The cover makes me think “B-movie RomCom” and now I have to buy this.
- Comment on What are your favorite Star Trek books? 3 days ago:
DS9 Millennium
Bought that trilogy and will read it after ST: Destiny
New Frontier series
That one was also recommended. It’s in the wish list, but I gotta figure out the reading order and buy them in order.
Invasion (4 books)
I didn’t even see those when I was looking, but will search for them directly.
The fall (5)
Also on the wish list :)
The buried age
Will check it out.
Thanks for the suggestions, and nice stack/collection! One of the drawbacks of ebooks is they’re not great for showing off or filling up a bookcase lol.

This one, right? Added it to my wish list.
- Comment on What are your favorite Star Trek books? 3 days ago:
And it’s only $1.99. Just bought it. Thanks!

Ah, okay. Mine’s direct drive so probably doesn’t need that.

Latest alt of a long term persistent troll who has nothing better to do with their life. Would be sad if they weren’t such an obnoxious POS.
Looks like they got lazy and setup a bot on an endless loop.

What does that actually do?
I’ve not had any issues without it on my E3v3
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 5 days ago:
If I need that level of precision, I’ll use a digital clock or set an alarm.
I can usually tell within 1-2 minutes which is precise enough for 99.999% of cases. Most IRL scheduling has a lower bound of 5-minute increments, so looking at an analog clock for the exact minute isn’t really necessary.
- Comment on Amazon (or any online retailer) needs a "Treat 'yo self" button that one-click orders something from your wish list / saved items. 1 week ago:
My saved items / wish list is full of stuff I want and could use. When I have some extra money, it’s difficult to choose one thing, and I get stuck in limbo. So given I could set limits and hit a button, I feel like it would help me.

Despite posting a photo of the book, I haven’t read it for a good minute. You’re referring to the clinic scene? (I think that’s first in the book, but not 100%).

Heh, that’s happened a lot since our org updated to Win11. Updates in the middle of the day (despite IT assuring us those only install after hours 🙄) and people just randomly drop from meetings as their PCs reboot.
Today (well, yesterday now), mine was just “Preparing to hibernate due to low battery” and I was like “wait, what?!” and was frantically making sure everything got saved (this old workhorse doesn’t always want to resume from hibernate). Turns out I had the cord plugged into the laptop but didn’t plug it into the outlet Facepalm
- Comment on When you realize your laptop hasn't been plugged in for the last 4 hours you've been working... 1 week ago:
Not really. There’s just a lot of characters in that scene (Muldoon, Hammond, Wu, Arnold, and Gennaro) all with dialog.

Also they lazily copied …
In film school, that’s called an homage. /s
