Discovery took everything that made Star Trek Star Trek and told it to go fuck itself. I don’t understand how people can like it.
Have you watched past the reveal of Captain Lorca’s past?
The reveal makes many of the very not-Trek first season issues suddenly feel much Trek.
I can see how that reveal might not play well to some. But it worked for me, and helped me forgive a bunch of issues I had with Discovery season 1.
What’s up with the Rust hate?
The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren’t broken.
They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it’s still fun to give them a hard time about it.
Ensign is a perfectly cromulent rank to achieve during a Starfleet career.
Did you try being born ultra rich? I’ve heard it helps. I wish someone told me sooner.
That’s pretty funny, and a delightful invitation to check out your comment history.
Sadly, while I hoped to find a hilarious misunderstanding with She-Ra shippers, what I found was a habit of commenting with unusually combatative language. :(
Good luck with the She-Ra shippers, anyway.
What language is the CLI written in?
Yes, running a CLI from inside a container can be a pain, but it’s not a big deal for the people asking.
I would just provide a trivial Dockerfile and see if anyone uses it.

This seems like a job for a WordPress blog or GitHub pages.
I’ll be happy to be your evil grand vizier, if you need one.
I’ll be super chill to hang out with in my palace, while my Grand Vizier takes care of day to day business.
This is a delight, and you are correct. That said, in the spirit of this silly thread, I provide solutions, below:
If I buy a house worth 950000, would I only be allowed to save 50000.
Yes. It will be time to get some roommates.
- what about if the house increase in value so that it is worth 2 million, should I just accept that I loose 1 million?
Yes. Or rather, exactly half of the house. Time to rent a storage unit, and put up some tarps to divide the entryway.
What about stocks?
Better sell some.
Inflation or Deflation, when/how will you update that limit?
Cost of living increases have long been understood and easy enough to calculate.
But - when I’m global leader, COLA for millionaires will only start after exactly as many years as the local minimum wage went without updates.
innocent wompra
I’ve always assumed that womp rats, being roughly 2 meters long, were intended as a kind of R.O.U.S. (Rodents of Unusual Size) and are presumably equally aggressive and dangerous.
I realize it’s a stretch, but it’s been stuck in my head canon since I first saw Star Wars.
He does look like he’s going to give himself a heart attack.

Narrator: They did not.
YouTube with a custom app seems to be the best way to actually watch your own chosen subscriptions, rather than bent force fed by the Google algorithm.
I’ve heard folks talk about how to get this from regular YouTube, but it’s wild to me that that put up with having to go to all the trouble with the official app.
Nebula is great.
It’s pretty funny to watch a quick “check out our extended content on Nebula” video exit, then just immediately watch the extended content roll along with a thank you message. (Many creators simply add the Nebula exclusive bits directly to the end of the video, on Nebula.)
It makes me feel like a fancy rich person.
Nebula is terrific!
It does take some time to find everything. It’s not (much of) an algorithm, so I just had to explore and start subscribing to things.
I’m finally catching on. Now the game is to try to guess which Golden Girl each line is from.
All good points.
But I’ve done some mental gymnastics to make it work. We actually know:
Lorca and Saru backstory Spoilers
Lorca defied orders to recruit Burnam, and keep Burnam out of space jail.
I also assume Lorca recruited Saru specifically because Saru’s native culture includes lots of putting up with inane bullshit, which was useful to Lorca after disposing of original Lorca’s body.
And I assume that the same character in my spoiler tag recruited various dysfunctional crew, while Saru recruited those crew that actually perform like Starfleet officers.
So basically, with enough mental hoops, I can assume that only Discovery, itself, is crewed unusually for Starfleet.
Edit: I also feel that Archer’s bring-my-dog-to-work leadership should also shoulder some blame. And Kirk is still a low ranking officer at this point, so we haven’t reached Starfleets prime.
