In Canada, it must contain cream. Milk based desserts are labelled ice milk, and anything using oil or solids is a ‘dessert’. The primary determining factor of the definition is the milk fat content.
- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 4 months ago:
Absolutely, especially with ADHD in the mix. When demand aversion kicks in, your brain literally tries to undermine any attempt to focus unless you can force it to cooperate. Music usually helps me with this.
- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 4 months ago:
Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
We don’t have a natural ability to infer emotions from body language, for a start. We have to learn to actively pay attention to it. Replacing natural instinct that a neurotypical person has with an active thought process is tiring, for a start.
Add to that most ASD people have trouble with emotional control, need to actively think about their own facial expressions, and often have social quirks that are unacceptable like nail biting which must be actively repressed… and being around others for hours on end is exhausting.
On top of this, most ASD people also have ADHD, and in the modern open office environment between the social aspect and never ending barrage of distraction, and the workplace is hostile, actively hostile to folks with ASD.
This combination of factors leads to having no where to unmask and relax until they get home. When they do, they are so exhausted from being something they are not for 10 hours (commute has to be included as its all public space) that when they get home they just shut down. They don’t call family or friends usually, they don’t get things around the house done. They have to turn off and try to re-energize themselves for doing it all again tomorrow.
I know all this as I am ASD and ADHD
Being able to work from home has brought actual balance to our lives as we can unmask the moment the camera goes off, we have rooms at home where we can close the door and remove distractions (well except mandatory work chats, but its a matter of muting that for focus) and at the end of the day we still have energy for our actual lives. In other words, this is the true work-life balance that I had always heard of but never truly felt I had.

What if that is exactly what puts Freeman on Starbase 80

So, is anyone else anticipating some crossover with Prodigy and the events that affected the Prime Universe in it’s Season 2.
Because that’s exactly where my mind went when they did the whole foreshadowing of “someone sure is opening a lot of time rifts lately”. (I might have that quote off a bit from Captain Freeman but I’ll edit once I get a chance to rewatch.)

Probably not willingly. Republican States are often horrible at updating infrastructure, and due to the lack of a well educated population, they don’t suffer much repercussion for that. Very high chance they grew up with or still have lead pipes.

I’ve always loved Keepass, however I moved away from it in 2012 as it any file based vault has brute forcing issues. You need to track every copy of it that has been made and if any copy falls out of your hands, like if you loose a device, you need to do a password rotation on 100% of your passwords. Since its a file, its not possible to prevent brute forcing.

Alright does anyone have opinions on Nextcloud Passwords? There’s apps for it and it would sync to my Nextcloud.
I hate this. Bitwarden has been a good app.

It would be wholly unsurprising if this was part of the reason, however is there any source that would link this to the cancellation?
- Comment on Star Trek: Lower Decks Releases Homage Poster for Final Season Celebration 5 months ago:
My tracking the years implies this season will take place in the same year as Prodigy season 2…
Given that I have some idea in my head that it would be somewhat more difficult to do a season during the Synth incident and the aftermath given how serious that time is so they are ending it tastefully before that.
Also, I’m sad it’s going but also recognize that some of my best, favourite comedy shows are like 3 seasons long. (IT Crowd, Black Books)
The Brits have it right I think, end the comedy on a high note where the whole thing stands out rather that slogging it along for the cash cow.

- Comment on Was then planet where "The 37's" were found ever given a name or revisited in STO or in Novels? 5 months ago:
They should do a Cerritos like crossover and make the character help the Cerritos on a long list of backlogged second contact missions, including this one.
- Comment on Was then planet where "The 37's" were found ever given a name or revisited in STO or in Novels? 5 months ago:
Which seems crazy, because with the Delta Quadrant being as accessible as it is in STO, it seems like making contact with a Human colony of over 100k people would be a priority.
