I swear the people in unit 402 are illegally subletting their place on AirBnB.
Detected by equipment on the International Space Station. There is no antimatter on the station itself.
Didn’t take the propagandists long to switch their targets.
I dug up the roll call for this vote, if anyone wants to look up how their representative voted.
We used unused punchcards to make flashcards in elementary school in the late 80’s / early 90’s. I guess the county bought a bunch and had to find another use.
And now I realize the primary definition of flashcard has changed since then, from study aid to digital storage.
A three digit xkcd, that one has been around a while.
It also removes an emphasis on any one particular planet’s day or year.
The last scene is a little heavy handed with its foreshadowing, but it’s one of my favorite bottle episodes.
I hadn’t heard the Mac story before. I wonder if it’s legit, as I don’t think the Mac, or the Lisa before it, ever had the equivalent of a My Computer icon. Disks appear directly on the desktop; dragging a disk to the trash can ejects it if its removable media, and the only type of disk the original Mac had was a 400KB single-sided 3.5” floppy drive.
The signature at the bottom of the letter makes it all make sense.
You misunderstand. HTTP 502 means the server is running on an old Gateway computer, and its capacitors are starting to go.
This is the Season 2 - Generations chair. I wonder what happened to the Season 1 captain’s chair, with its flip out armrest displays.
Staying in one spot was an asset, it helped justify recurring guests and villains if everyone’s in the same neighborhood. There’s no way the Kazon should have been bothering Voyager after Season 1 if they had been making a bee line for the Alpha Quadrant.
Batman gives you so many options.
“It doesn’t mean I don’t care anymore. I don’t want to let you down, honest, but… but it just doesn’t hurt so bad anymore. You can understand that, can’t you? Look, I can give money to the city - they can hire more cops. Let someone else take the risk, but it’s different now! Please! I need it to be different now. I know I made a promise, but I didn’t see this coming. I didn’t count on being happy. Please! Tell me that it’s okay.”

“Think about it - a world where there’s no crime, no victims, no pain.”
“And no choice. Who elected you, anyway?”
“Who elected you? The problem with democracy is, it doesn’t keep you very safe.”
“It has other virtues. But you seem to have forgotten them.”
“I didn’t forget! I just chose peace and security instead.”
“You grabbed power!”
“And with that power, we’ve made a world where no eight-year-old boy will ever lose his parents because of some punk with a gun!”
*Batman drops his batarang; it clatters to the ground*
“You win.”

The Fat Mac (512k) my dad bought to run inventory for his store. I was probably 2 or 3 playing games like Count-on-Mac and version of the memory game called, I think, Concentration. I’d also mess around in Mac Paint and later got into Pinball Construction Set.
China hasn’t demonstrated the ability to execute a sustained naval campaign far from their home ports in the past. They’re a green water navy with blue water aspirations. While this would be a good chance to practice long range deployments and air defense strategies, with the eyes of the world focused on the Red Sea, they don’t want to risk screwing up and loosing national prestige.
A Tomahawk cruise missile only uses a rocket motor to take off from a ship or submarine. After launch, it unfolds its wings and uses a jet engine to fly to its target.
The D’s saucer is an oval, wider than it is long (“the fat one”). Voyager’s saucer is long pointy, kind of shaped like a spoon.
It fits, English and JavaScript are both three languages in a trench coat.
