As a white person, and an American, let me assure you that we can turn anything into a mystical ultra healthy superfood.

Reality be damned.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. He always looked a bit awkward in the TNG uniform. But looked very natural in the early DS9 uniform.

The production explanation is probably just that non-main characters got uniforms that fit “well enough” and not one specifically made for them.

I agree about the tone… but I also think Trek is often at its best when it’s not taking itself too seriously.

There is a line though.

I… somehow didn’t know that. Thank you kind internet stranger-friend!

Now I’m wondering what Kirk and Picard did before they were in command positions…

Fair point. Lots of potatoes….

I mean, O’Brien is my favorite character in Trek but he ain’t exactly slim and trim…

You probably already know this, but most IDEs have a setting to enable Vim keybinds or you can easily install an extension to add them.

I really like Neovim but my job often requires some stuff that it doesn’t easily do. So, VSCode is what I use a lot of the time… with the Vim extension.

Just something to consider if your stack isn’t super well supported in Vim/Neovim or you need tools it doesn’t have for your work.

Personally, I’m stoked and set some money aside for it when the first rumors came out early this year.

Is it perfect looking? No, it’s LEGO being used to create a ship that is all swoops and curves.

But I don’t care that it looks like LEGO. I have been waiting for official Star Trek LEGO since the 1980s.

Seems unlikely that it will only be on sale for one day. Last year’s Black Friday set is still available, for example.

They seem to have been less worried about hiding that after TOS. There are at least a few times across the 6 original movies where you can see that he’s missing a finger.
