The Spectres

Kurn is a really fun character that Tony Todd did a perfect job with. But it was nice to see he has such great acting chops beyond the scope of Kurns rather one note personality. I cry at the drop of a hat when watching TV, this episode makes me ugly sob every time.

Lust month would be wild.

Why not?

Yes. Not all of it, just the first 2 seasons. People saying no are forgetting Pike learning something about himself in Discovery is basically his prime motivator throughout SNW. It is a fundamental pillar of his character.

Spock has some important backstory in Disco as well. Good for general star trek edification but not necessary to enjoy spock as a character in SNW.

Porsche Unleashed! That game taught me how to do real life 180s and 360s and that may favourite car colour is deep green. Great race replays too.

They really nail him, yeah. Nimoy had many female admirers but was not your typical handsome man. But his portrayals have been getting more and more traditionally sexy. I’m a straight dude, but only when it’s humans. 🖖🍑🥕

What are the bad faith laws in the US like? In my province (BC) here in Canada the courts would publicly flay you for such blatant bad faith coverage. When I worked in insurance we had regular seminars with the lawyers on bad faith; the punitive damages can be (intentionally) ruinous to insurers.

There are more compatible people for you out there, life is too short to waste on someone with whom you have this many issues after only 1 date.

I liked Guy Caron. A socialist and an economist.

I don’t drive, I’m too poor to live anywhere well connected, and I’m disabled. So I rely on delivery and need my groceries to be as cheap as possible. That means No Frills. I buy from there or starve, I’m afraid. I’d be more inclined towards a guillotine based solution for Loblaws and Pattison anyway.

This goes back to Thatcher’s implementation of Reaganomics. Cut services and taxes, turn the economy into the lawless wild west, blame government for the resulting shitty life for workers as justification to further cut services asnd taxes. 2008 was just feul for the fire.

Disabled people dying means a smaller tax burden. That boon can be turned into corporate subsidies or tax cuts.

California power is awesome. Until recently, it was almost all nuclear. Those reactors take 6 hours to spin up and wind down. As demand went up for the day, they’d supplement their systems by buying power from BC. As the demand went down at night faster than the nuclear could wind down, they would pay BC to take their excess. You need to use you excess load or you blow up your grid. So BC was making money providing AND taking power at different points throughout the day.

Now, thanks largely to solar, California is generating so much power they have to pay people to take the excess during peak hours. Such an incredibly fast transformation. They still buy a bit at night, but California is quickly freeing itself from dependence on other systems.

So while they still import a bit of Hydro power, they’ll be fully autonomously renewable really soon.

Wind and solar. They have downsides, like they all do, you’re right, but they don’t obliterate sensitive ecosystems of threatened species. The downsides to nature are significantly reduced with wind and solar. Tidal looks good too, but I don’t know enough about it to give it the official "Some Random Guy on Lemmy Stamp of Approval ".

Generation methods that destroy key ecosystems of threatened and endangered species is not what I’d call “clean”. We can do so much better than dams, getting rid of them in place of actual green power would be an incredible, healing boon to these major rivers and the ecosystems they support.

Like the one I see regularly? Or every single one I’ve seen before them, or the psychology researchers from the study I was in, or my friends in the field, or the hundreds of scientific articles deliniating exactly that and the physiology and psychology behind it? You actually have to look for something before you publicly declare it’s not there.

If you aren’t a practiticing psychology researcher, this whole post is pop psychology nonsense. Might as well ask random strangers about dark matter, it’s just as valuable an opinion.

Very yes. Interstellar adventures starring a young man who leaves his ordinary life to pursue his magical destiny to bring down the empire- it’s not all that different from star wars either.
