Literally why I'm single and plan to stay that way.

I would imagine something similar to the worst of the Byford Dolphin decompression accident, which was a torso and large limbs crushed to the point of being almost unrecognizable with internal organs and some chunks of soft tissue separated from the body. Photos of that exist and you can find the relevant research paper by googling "Byford Dolphin Autopsy," but seriously those pictures are gruesome. In the case of the Titan, because the hull was compromised, large portions of those bodies were probably lost to the sea.
Most 70 year olds don't have paper thin skin. 70 is not as old as you think. (90 year olds, on the other hand...)

Can confirm, there is a condition that removes the air gap causing a pretty much continuous UTI. (Colovesical fistula: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/colovesical-fistula#treatment-and-management)
Tl;dw - European empires fucked everything up and we're still living with the aftermath. Plus oil.
GOOD. Very proud of my pharmacy colleagues standing up for themselves. More unions, please!
In the same way that your lease doesn't "guarantee" that your landlord will fix the leaking kitchen sink, this is technically true. Which is how they get away with spreading this nonsense.
Nevermind that having that legal contract gives you the only leverage you could possibly hope to have when you take the landlord to court. Same leverage that a union contract gives you over the corporation you work for.
Ayyyy, beratna!
To be more specific: The show feels like the book authors took the opportunity to revise, edit, and improve their own work. The books provide extra context to some situations, Caliban's War in particular. But it's fun to see the smart decisions they made in the TV show to consolidate some characters and tweak storylines.
The US is the third most populous and fourth largest country in geographic area in the world. We're genuinely far more dependent on rail freight for basic functioning than countries that have had rail strikes.
(Which is why we should nationalize the rail system.)
I only wish he made one a little less in the old "College Humor" style. Because, while this is excellent for the public, I can't send this to the one staunch anti-union nurse on my unit and expect her to listen to a word of it.
If anyone knows some "gentler" but equally as well-sourced information, please let me know! This nurse complains right along with us all "they can't do this!" but apparently has swallowed whole some kind of anti-union propaganda that I just don't understand.
No TNG was definitely a full ensemble cast. I think people say that because Data is an obvious analog of Spock. But if this analogy is to hold, who is McCoy? Riker? Crusher? It doesn't make sense.
I think they just held onto the TOS traditions of strong captain as the lead with a Spock-like character and diverse remaining cast. But TNG had more space to work with the non-lead actors than TOS did partially because it had TOS's world building as a foundation.
