One of the ways I knew I was burned out from my job was that when I got back from vacation, I felt as bad as I did just before the vacation. No improvement at all. The vacations were fine, but it was like opening a door into the same flood every day.

Hey, the death panels the Republicans predicted are coming soon!

I just remembered the discussion without separation was in Disaster, when Troi was the senior officer on the bridge and a warp core breach was developing. Ro wanted her to separate the ship to save as many people as possible, but Troi wanted to wait in the hopes someone would get to engineering and fix the problem.

Yeah I read somewhere they found it just slowed down the episode too much, so it wasn’t used much after the first season.

Correctly used in the movie though.

Not to ruin the mood, but I think the idea was that it was this scary procedure only used in extreme emergencies.

For example, when the episode was running short by about 5 minutes…

It’s the release from the stress of the moment.

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.

Can’t I grill food? Or cook it on the range? Why do I have to use my oven to make meals?

Similar to “travel by map.”

The turnout will be about 10 people.

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.)

Seems like these could be a good display/control panel for Home Assistant.

Hopefully I did that right…

Same here. I put two in the lights on our porch, and they’ve worked great for at least 2 years now. And we get high and low temperatures here.

These here are some Yankees!

How did a city with such a great airport end up at the bottom of the ocean?

I was living in Georgia when this aired, so it really hit home. My favorite episode by far.

I saw this when it first aired, and I actually rolled off my couch from laughing so hard.

You actually can nearly do that. Facebook inexplicably showed me how a few weeks ago. If a friend reshares something, you’ll see it, but it removes all groups, etc. It was stunning how little content actually comes from friends.

On the Facebook site (I’m sure it can be done via app, too, but I didn’t look), click on the menu near the top right, then click Feeds (under Social). Then click on Friends on the left.

Oh that’s right, I forgot about that first question!

I was in high school at the time, taking Current Events as a class. Our textbook was Newsweek, then a fairly respectable news source.

It was a good year to take it - the 1992 elections, the Branch Davidians, and probably a few other things. We all wrote down our predictions for how the Branch Davidian situation would end, and we were all wrong. (I do not recall my prediction.)
