A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

At this point I've played #Hades2 more than twice as much as the original. Highly recommended. Death to Chronos!

The big takeaway from this video is to get some kids, so you can have local players you can hopefully line up schedules with. #dungeonsanddragons

When having to speak with a human due to broken systems to process a problematic Google Support transaction, I wish I could change the activation phrase on my Android devices like I can on my Echo devices.

The Chips Fall as Rivals Fry the Mayor The jokes and jabs are flying as Eric Adams’ closest aides was slapped with new criminal charges the day after another of his longtime allies offered a reporter cash inside a potato chip bag.

Bob Clark, VP of marketing for Herr Foods, Inc., said the company was surprised to see it was mentioned in the press.

β€œWhile we can’t speak to the details of the story,” he said, β€œwe can confirm that our Sour Cream & Onion flavor is money.”

"They're just really, really horrible thieves on the sea. They're not funny, they're not charming, the food is awful. If someone offers you the chance to be a pirate, tell them you're busy. That's my advice." - Baptiste, "The Devils", Joe Abercrombie

Watched #TheLostBoys with the kids, they have a much deeper understanding of their father's essence now.

But really they now understand why I utter, "Maggots, Michael" every time I serve white rice.

I had a buddy in college in the nineties who went by the nickname Sith, from the extended universe/novelization. He tried to drop the name when it became common knowledge thanks to the prequels, but failed.

For those with the #Switch2 transferring data, you can get past the "Connect the AC adapter" pop-up by plugging the official adapter, like the new one you just got, into either Switch just to click through that prompt. You can then go back to using your third party USB-C to keep it charged.

A tower.

After playing a lot of an #AssassinsCreed game, you find yourself looking at buildings and thinking of how AltaΓ―r/Ezio/Edward/Bayek/Naoe/Basim would climb it, right? It's not just me?

On Star Trek: TNG, those aren't Captain Picard's hands holding his flute Sir Patrick Stewart doesn't play the Reskian flute, or any flute for that matter. The trick worked on me at least, because I hadn't noticed even after seeing this episode…

His sad flute he plays like a muppet: boingboing.net/2019/02/13/o...
