Gaius Baltar really fucked Jean Luc up as a little kid. He never wanted kids after that, but he did fall in love with Beverly Crusher, except she became the wife of his best friend.

When his best friend died and left behind a ready-to-go family, he started to have a very difficult mix of emotions, which culminated in all of his complex behaviors toward Wesley.

I can’t be the only one that collects cheap domains for fun.

Make sure you enable the right flags on the JVM, such as this one:

I’d argue the Ferengi prove the opposite. They start out as the literary antitheses to the federation in TNG, are being heavily influenced by human ideals through a “radicalized” Ferengi by the end of DS9, and by Lower Decks the Ferengi are joining the federation.

Proving conclusively that the one with the whales is the best one.

This is mirror universe Smiley O’Brian

She’s LARPing as a congressperson. That’d be adorable if we weren’t running heading into a mass extinction event.

Thanks Empty G, always discovering new rock bottoms.

You get it.

In a future where people can teleport across dimensions, and regularly communicate at superliminal speeds, we have a game played by ultra nerds who refuse to accept that wireless finger controllers do NOT introduce perceptible lag. IN FACT, the bonus of not having to deal with the wires makes the game far faster and more enjoyable. ( I’ve always hated this one aspect of this epic, and I know it’s because the wires make it look more sci fi and less magical bullshit.)

They boiled down the essence of Enemy Mine into a Gorn episode, fuck the haters this season was excellent.

Funny enough it works. That third panel with Riker pulling a WTF is great, but the last panel lets you know the episode’s over: you’re not getting an explanation for that.

exactly why I wrap the parts I need, it’s like git, tons of power, zero help.

I’ll take overloaded operators over overloaded functions any day of the week, and I also hate overloaded operators.

Python’s optional typing has come a very long way in the past few years, you might be able to mitigate this with some creative application of typing.

Edit: I read your post closer, I’m not sure typing would help with the overloaded operator issue and now I have something fun to try out later 😁

Ok, everyone who’s ever had to use datetime hates it, but not because it’s insufficient, but because international date/time is such a nightmare that the library must be complicated enough to support all the edge cases I’m convinced that library has a function for traveling trough time.

For years I’ve wrapped datetime with custom functions that do exactly and only what I want to mitigate its all-plumbing-zero-porcelain approach to the problem.

I always respond with “Do you want to know if something broke? Then slow down and write tests”

I imagine if baptisms stacked, you could pile on a gazillion of them like ablative armor against incoming sin.

I’m going to have to find that episode, I remember some talk about spares in that one too.
