Awwwww that’s sad. I think our dog could be a handful, but he gets 3 or 4 walks every day, and play time, and some of those walks involve zoomies (I’m not a runner, but I imagine the neighbors are all used to seeing me run with the dog, just trying to burn off his energy).

So he tends to spend much of his time just lounging around the house. If my wife is watching TV, it’s a pretty good bet he’s going to be cuddled up with her.

He’s a really happy dog. Loves everyone and everything.

That said, I’ve already decided we’re not adopting another one. I love him, but I also do most of the work - feeding him, walking him, etc. I also take care of the cats. Maybe I’ll feel differently now that I’ve retired and have more time, but before that, I was overwhelmed with all of the chores in the house.

I can count on one hand the number of times my dog has thrown up, and he’s been with us over 6 years. What were your friends giving their dogs?

And honestly, picking up poop is part of having a dog, just like cleaning the litter box is a necessary chore for cats. If you don’t want to do it, then yeah you shouldn’t get a dog. I mean, I don’t really want to do it either, but I recognize it’s part of owning a dog. I don’t like going out in the rain, snow, or hot sun to walk him, either, but, again… It’s part of the deal.

Our dog has no chores, he’s spoiled.

Yeah, I know that it makes perfect sense for them to be on a user’s home directory.

I said that because it was a flashback to work, where people were constantly filling the “home” drive with data that should be stored in the work/project directories. Regular emails begging people not to save data to their home directories. But that data should be accessible to others - it’s not personal, like most holodeck programs would be.

Last year, they added a some insane amount of space (dozens of terabytes IIRC) to address space limitations…a few months later, they were down to less than a terabyte free. People just do not program efficiently and do not clean up their messes.

WHO’S BEEN SAVING HOLODECK PROGRAMS TO THEIR HOME DIRECTORY AGAIN?

Hey I have some of those!

Similar to “travel by map.”

This is basically why I didn’t participate in the fandom for many years. Tired of hearing how bad this is or whatever. And this goes back to Next Gen, too. I found I enjoyed Star Trek more without everyone else’s opinions.

It’s a lot like this. (Thanks to The Oatmeal for putting it so well.)

Your new account is one better.

That is Chekov’s trainer!

Working in the meme factory can change a man.

Well that and the giant ice cubes they dropped into the Atlantic.

I love Geordi’s horror at realizing Data now gets every joke he’s ever heard and may feel the need to retell them.

I haven’t seen Dark Matter so I have no opinion on this question, other than the answer is always Star Trek.

Replicator Today!

On today’s edition we’re going to take a closer look at the odd colored blocks of food the Enterprise replicators produce!

Today we’re making omelets with Owan eggs, for your least favorite humans and most favorite Klingons!

Thanks for specifying the movies. I was pretty sure that was Wrongfully Accused but not certain!

It’s a great movie, if you haven’t seen it. Worth the watch, especially if you’re familiar with The Fugitive.

Edit fixed the subject of my second sentence.

Also taking this opportunity to add, “You need a man’s drink!”

It’s Slurms MacKenzie!

This episode bends my mind, especially as someone who is almost the same age as Stewart was when this was filmed.

It’s like, wait, which Picard am I?

Troi: crashes Enterprise

This is what I read.

No one could agree on what the permanent time should be, that’s why it failed.
