Consider they're a 30+ mile, hour+ drive away, this is giving me even less of a reason to go, and I happen to like Ikea. But free coffee isn't going to remotely make up for my gas mileage, so I guess I'll continue to shift my furniture needs elsewhere. =/

It's also important to note that our LD crew are all bridge crew. We've seen that they have shifts at the helm and engineering/science/ops stations regularly, so putting them in charge really isn't that big of a stretch if the senior staff need to be off-ship for the more important role of the mission. They're basically babysitting the Cerritos and fending off hails from Starfleet.

To play it all out: why the heck is Nick Locarno flying around in a little ship capable of disabling the systems on larger warships, transporting(?) the ships and crews to some planet while leaving wreckage behind?
He's not. He's making deals with the lower deckers of those ships to make it look like his ship can do all that. They say in the episode that the lower deckers of the kidnapped crews are disabling the shields and weapons. Then he makes off with the crews and some of their technology for reasons yet unknown, abandoning the command staff on planet Knife Rain to fend for themselves.

It's really wild that they straight up nuked CS:GO for this and it both performs worse on higher end machines (reports of stuttering when ragdolls activate or shaders load in are rampant) AND it's missing the casual war games modes like Arms Race.

It's definitely both. A lot of folks don't understand that insects and shellfish are similar, and I've yet to see "product may contain insect meal / aggravate shellfish allergies" on things that have crickets or are processed in facilities that handle insect meal. So, the FDA likely needs to catch up. But, it's also a cheap filler protein that's easily grown, and companies are cheap bastards, so it's going to slowly find its way in and push out more expensive protein options.

I do sincerely worry about insects being added as filler materials as time goes on. I have a shellfish allergy, and the same allergens that exist in the shells of shellfish also exist in most insects.

I've played around with it for personal amusement, but the output is straight up garbage for my purposes. I'd never use it for work. Anyone entering proprietary company information into it should get a verbal shakedown by their company's information security officer, because anything you input automatically joins their training database, and you're exposing your company to liability when, not if, OpenAI suffers another data breach.

You can literally just Google "phone in bed fire" and find article after article after article about it.

I still cannot believe there is a game for kids that recommends they set up a fire hazard in their beds.

Yes, I too want the same old rehashes of 60s and 90s Trek plots so we can have full series burnout in record time.
Star Trek is a place to tell stories. Some of those stories involve weird shit. "Weird," as Janeway says to Kim after he comes from a cloned version of the ship where everyone he knows and loves just died in a self-destruct explosion, "is part of the job."

As we all know, operational security is Starfleet's #1 priority.
I have to imagine there's a seedy bar in San Francisco where all the Chief Security Officers meet up to removed about how no one ever listens to their recommendations but its their asses who get chewed out when the ship gets so easily taken over on a weekly basis.

Didn't Naked Time have Chapel literally profess her love for Spock?

The last episode on Rigel VII was shot in front of the Holodeck (what the call Trek's AR Wall) and it was breathtakingly good. The emptiness was likely part of the point with this species.

A ton of the shit comes straight from the board of directors, who will no longer have a board because MS is absorbing and buying out all shareholders.
We know Bobby is leaving for a fact as well, as he has a buyout clause in his contract.
Short term, this is excision of a cancer from the industry. Long term this kind of consolidation is bad for competition. I'll be happy when MS gets inevitably trust busted.
Skyshard has been my long term pet project since the start of early 2020. It's a universe to tell stories in, inspired by the media and stories I loved growing up. I'm proud to share it with folks here. On my stories page in the link above, you can find my currently available lore docs and the short stories I've written to help expand the universe and flesh it out. Still working on my next work, just got a little hectic with my work schedule, but it's coming!!

I loved it, and I loved how La'an had no idea how to read it since LCARS wasn't even invented yet. Great use of visual continuity!

Microsoft and Sega have a long partnership with gaming going back to the original XBox days where they got a ton of exclusives originally meant for the Dreamcast after it died. This news is the least surprising to me. Hell, their OG controller is literally the DC controller with an added stick and no VMU support.
It's how we also ended up with stuff like PSO2 in the West after Sega abandoned it.

💯 this. Pocketcasts is and has been outstanding for the years I've had it. Great UI, and will remember your position on a specific episode cross-platform.

GFR is like the journalist article version of Midnight's Edge. Literally does nothing but report on non-sense and inject it with extraordinary amounts of vitriol and bad faith arguement.
I actually wrote up a pretty strong disagreement for that post between the moment it appeared and when it got taken down, because the author clearly has a chip on their shoulder and wants to complain that anything that isn't Picard S3 or SNW is done by people who "don't get Trek" and that both shows "aren't a good fit for the universe." Neither of these things are true, considering Disco was created by long-time Berman-Era Trek contributor Bryan Fuller, and Prodigy is quite possibly one of the Trekkiest shows around.
They just don't like anything marginally different from their 90s comfort nostalgia formula that sent us straight into our wilderness years after franchise fatigue with Enterprise.
The mods would have had auto-mod blocklist that domain over on r/startrek, so it shouldn't be a surprise it gets removed here either.
Heya Crashdoom, wanted to make you aware of this. There's currently a bug with 0.17.4 that makes the feed not refresh. A fix has been found but is getting rolled into the next release. Currently, they say the workaround (per the linked comment) is to restart the server regularly.
Be careful when you see the air shimmering before a strange meadow, else you might breach the veil and cross through to lands no humans were meant to tread. It's okay though, those places have means of easily making you fit in, as I'm finding out here. Man, I liked that hoodie too. Collab between myself and [Jak the Jackalope](https://www.furaffinity.net/user/jakthejackalope)! He did the character art, while I did the effects, BG, and rendering! Go check him out!
Hey there, I just tried to check out what the Content Warning policies were for here, but the link loops back to the main Code of Conduct page. Just thought I'd let you know!
