I've actually never played any Star Trek games before - I think the closest I've gotten is Stellaris, which definitely made me think of star trek. I don't know if that disqualifies me, but I might pick this game up anyways, sounds like a good time right now.

This concept actually makes me want to have AI take my job

I agree with what other people have said about using the command line more and the gui less, that will make you have to learn about utils like find, grep, sed, and maybe awk.

Try learning vim (or emacs). Use some command like tools for stuff you'd do in the gui. Try some basic scripting for common tasks. Maybe write some short python/ruby scripts if you need them. I've found that writing code has given me a need for learning more about how the command line works, and other "power user" features.

I still have my Eee 901 sitting around with my collection of old tech. It actually booted up a couple years ago when I last checked it! Used the crap out of it back in college for computer science classes, since all I really needed was a terminal.

In a similar vein, I've been rewatching TNG and find myself thinking that they really should have put a cctv camera in engineering. Could have saved them a lot of trouble.

It's always nice to get a positive take on how things are improving in North America. I'm excited to see where things will go in the next 10 years. I just had a conversation with someone the other day about not just "running away" from the problems we have, and actually working to solve them.

What a dumpster fire. Meanwhile, I'm still getting alerts from my local fire department through twitter. Doesn't exactly make me feel safe.

The ones I got for myself are very orange. The ones I've seen other people buy tho... pretty sure they've been scammed. And some of the pairs are rather expensive too

I was always confused by how the "blue blocking" glasses just looked clear. Like, if you look at something colorful through them like a rubix cube, you can still see the blue color. Shouldn't something blocking blue light look kinda orange through it?

 

The Himatic G is actually pretty fun for a simple camera, and takes good photos too

 

On a work trip for 3 days, and brought 2 cameras and 2 rolls, 1 color 1 b&w. Wasn't going to load them till after going through airport security. Except my "to dev" backlog isn't very organized... Fortunately there's a local camera shop that sells film not far from my hotel.
