Not who you asked, but I want to shill for spaghetti aglio e olio for a sec.

It has 3 ingredients. Pasta, olive oil, garlic. Fancy stuff will taste better, but the cheapest will taste fine. I use pre-minced garlic out of a tub when I'm really down bad and it's still excellent. Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, maybe parmesan cheese if you have it, and sometimes I'll throw in some frozen peas. It comes together in about 2 minutes longer than it takes to boil the pasta and can be really quite good.

Speaking from experience, you may as well just take pure caffeine pills. But the more you strip away the ritual and nonfunctional aspects, the less Trek-friendly it is. They just don't do performance enhancing drugs, it goes against their ethos.

They do cover advanced and currently non-existent forms of math in school in Star Trek. There's definitely a scene with like a 10 year old complaining about their calculus homework.

You don't have to be Wiles to attempt unsuccessfully to prove the theorem. Fermat famously claimed to have a simple and elegant proof. Before we understood how to actually prove it, there was always a small chance that maybe there was such a proof and all we needed was the right type of creative lateral thinking to rediscover it. That's what Picard was doing. Now that we understand the problem better, nobody really thinks such a proof exists, but that wasn't as well known at the time the episode was written.

I am "deeply entrenched" because mythic raiding and m+ dungeons are fun. All the classical MMO features are just chores at this point, which is why it takes less effort to get through them every tier.

A bunch of different vegetables are all actually one genus of plant.

Brassica species and varieties commonly used for food include bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, collard greens, choy sum, kale, kohlrabi, napa cabbage, rutabaga, turnip and some seeds used in the production of canola oil and the condiment mustard.

Vic Fontaine was one of the highlights of the show for me. The episode with Nog after he lost his leg is incredible

This particular seal sounds like FWHHHH GUHH MMMGG GGUHHH but that's splitting hairs

Haven't really looked into it. I have Jellyfin set up and ready to switch over already. Maybe I'll check it out when Plex blows up

They have a sorta proprietary metadata service that is presumably based on imdb, thetvdb, etc. but they also handle detection and collection of metadata regardless of where the information ultimately comes from. It's nothing that Jellyfin doesn't do though.

I'm sticking with Plex since I have the lifetime pass too, but the writing's on the wall, I'm ready to switch to Jellyfin whenever Plex dies or ruins itself

These sea lions are well trained and familiar with the concept of "play along and acquire fish"

They are very good boys and girls
