I love how holodecks lacked an Oh Shit button. What's an Oh Shit button? It's a big red button on a piece of dangerous machinery that kills the power and stops everything. When something goes wrong and you say "Oh Shit!" and not the button. I literally trained people thus way. It's a convenient way to associateb the use of the button with the purpose for it.

Imagine how much safer (and less interesting the shows) would be if you could just run to the door, flip the little lid, and smack the big red button to kill the power to the stupid thing.

I say replace all the bathrooms with genderless-only ones. You can't use them if you have any gender, sorry.

You must not have been born in the 70s or 80s. It's really easy. Step 1, replace your smart phone with a flip phone. This concludes all your steps.

Ever wonder if she was a chocoholic because as half betazoid it acts as a mild narcotic? Like for full betazoids it's a controlled substance or something?

That must be his drug-fueled orgy nickname. Self-appointed, naturally. As opposed to Trump's orgy nickname, Jaundiced Toad.

Tradition, mostly. When I discussed this with my fiancee she just wants to - I certainly don't care. My one cousin went with both hyphenated, in alphabetical order so hers was first.

Better hurry, Trump's rubber stamp DOJ will kill this faster than a cop encountering a dog.

Don't make it easier to join. Having a technical barrier to entry, even a minor one, helps keep the idiots that ruined Reddit out. History has shown, repeatedly, that when technology is easy for anyone to adopt, then every idiot imaginable will use it and drag down the average, and the interfaces tend to be dumbed down and constantly reinvented to enable said idiots easier access. Then you're stuck with enshitification and "graphic design is my passion" feature and UI changes that nobody wants.

 

What it says in the title.

Illinois

With few exceptions, Chicago and it's county, (Cook) and the surrounding (collar) counties are Illinois, as far as most of us are concerned (especially including good food, presidential elections and tax income).

We're objectively better than NY.

Chicago holds the importance, due to being the main freight hub in the country, that once upon a time belonged to New Orleans. However the advent of railroad stripped that title away from New Orleans, relegating it and thus Louisiana to shadows of their former selves.

 

Serious question. I only have the one car. I know there are people with more money than sense that have more cars than they can actually drive at a time, and that there are couples who may or may not be able to drive their SO to the mechanic. But how can they _assumef that I can even afford a cab, well Uber these days, when I'm about to have them hundreds of dollars getting my busted-ass, POS car fixed?
