I do, my wife does, a couple Trekkie buddies at work do.

All you whining, terminally online dweebs need to learn to speak for yourselves.

I'm hoping it's a joke.

Maybe someone said "make a stupid generic teen drama poster and watch people lose their shit."

I like all Trek. (To preempt any whatabout responses, here) I consistently downvote and dismiss all "NuTrek" whiners. I don't even like the term. And don't even get me started on the "The Orville is the only good/real Trek in the last blah blah blah" MFers. But this has me a little worried. Is Tilly going to be the least annoying part of the show?

Please be a joke.

Post the same question in a comm that uses another language that you speak and see what answers you get there.

I suppose they could stick a bunch of goofy bumpers on it like the US compliant Countach. It might be the only way to make them uglier.

I actually looked for one in °C but the only ones I found had big stupid display screens. I just wanted one with 5-6 simple presets without adding unnecessary points of failure.

To be fair, I didn't look that hard though. I wasn't willing to spend that much time and the place I order my tea from labels all the recommended temps in °F anyway.

And make sure to get one with different temperature settings, not just boil.

Being able to do 180° exactly instead of just guessing has been a game changer for white tea.

HOAs maybe? Mine would lose their shit if people started having these things "visible over the porch wall."

Edit: Article says it's for regulations about putting power back into the grid.

One of the characters in the show. I think she quit to become a P.I. because she didn't want to be a part of a bigoted system anymore.

I heard (don't remember where, could be true, could be right out of someone's ass) that the reason the show ended is many of them started feeling bad about doing a light-hearted fun show about cops. Basically the actors all started feeling like Rosa.

Do you know all this about horses in a know thy enemy sort of way or did you come to hate horses after learning about them?

I think the point of this one is to have the poles centered in their respective halves. Southern hemisphere on the bottom with the pole in roughly the center of the bottom half, and the same with the North.

Then going for the least distortion with the land masses. This way has West Africa and East South America a little screwy but if you were to take the equator and slide it right to fix Africa, south America gets worse. So it's a balance.

I'm not sure what the point is to giving the southern hemisphere more room though.

Edit: The longer I look at this the weirder it gets, lots of strange choices. It's ~~almost as bad as~~ worse than the Mercator without it's one redeeming quality, straight lat/long lines with right angles. It doesn't even put China at the center and makes it disproportionately small.

So a North-South pseudocylindrical compromise (not even equal area) map, which makes longitude lines curve back and forth, where the northern hemisphere, where most of the land is, is disproportionately small. Dafuq?

But where do you put the tomatoes, pickle, peppers, and onions?

 

I apologize in advance of this is too basic a question for this community.

I just learned about lexisnexis and went to their website to request my report, opt out of everything I could, and request my information be deleted.

Are there any other companies like this I should be aware of so I can make the same requests there?

If it matters, I'm in California and it's my understanding that I have a few more rights concerning this sort of thing than some others do.
