Retina and DNA scan really don't seem safe if it's enough to touch a person to get their DNA and replicate one lol. They could at least check for a pulse like modern fingerprint sensors do.

I quite disliked this episode. Yeah, I get it, the good message and character redemption is in there at the end, but I find high school drama trek really boring; at least episode 1 was mostly back story, episode 2 had interstellar diplomacy and a somewhat brave change of status quo (the Federation command being built on Betazed).

Still, this show really makes it seem as Starfleet Academy is failing: every meaningful lesson is learned by disobeying; the captain of the school team is chosen by who can shoot the best side-by-side, instead of who has better leadership skills, and the try-harder understands the other try-harder is a better captain only during a clandestine match; in the first episode, the ship is saved by Caleb only because he already dealt with the pirate in the past, all the other cadets and officials stood there getting injuried; the only thing they learned at school is how to grow a plant and their rector telling-not-telling them to use empathy and patience to prank the other school. Where is the discipline, the team-work, the diversity that makes the whole more powerful?

Oh and really? College mascots? Team jersey? Lasertag? Did we forget this show is set in the 32nd century? Do we have to believe that the main academy of an insterstellar institution, the most powerful of the galaxy at some point, is operating like a 1990's US college? I get that imagining the far future is difficult, but at least try. Baseball in DS9 already felt out of place, and that was only 300 years in the future, now it's like expecting every university in the world, in 2326, to run the same way as medieval Oxford University was when first founded. Discovery did a better job setting up the far future in its 3rd season, I don't know why they reverted, TNG and DS9 felt more futuristic in the settings than this show.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but RedHat also had more recent updates compared to CentOS, while also being certified.

That's not the problem though. Even if you have no other OS installed, windows still refuses to install on external HDDs.

Some of my first memories are of my father playing AoE, I don't even remember when or how I learnt to play the game, at some point I just did and still do.

Linux Mint has a program simply called "Drawing" that does exactly that. You can resize pictures, draw shapes, write text, paint and save as other formats. It's a big buggy and unoptimized, but it's cool. For simple things, it's sometimes more convenient than GIMP.

I understand people may not like this episode and find it offensive, but please don't delete it, it's never the solution.

Understand how and why something is racist is the key to never commit the same mistakes in the future.

I think it's more about learning to be human. He imitates other people and their mannerism not because they find his nature inconvenient, but because he think that by imitating them he can understand.

As a society, we learned how to take care of the less able people (with every asterisk in the world, but at least the idea is there). However, for some reason, that only applied to people that are very non-functional. If you are functional, but not always, you can still take care of yourself, so suck it up and get your life together.

Fuck that, we should learn that everyone deserves to be helped, not only those who need a lot of help, sometimes a little goes a long way.

Sputnik 1 was the first artifical satellite put into orbit. Based on how you define "first rocket in space", it might have been Nazi Germany with their V2 rockets
