@Mik said in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Both Discovery and Picard were too preachy for me. Strange is a worthy successor. I hope you're right. This clip doesn't offer much hope, however. There's a difference between being cute and being cringe/stupid. https://x.com/StarTrekOnPPlus/status/1817305158201880803

Poll vaulting picture … no mattress to cushion the athlete’s fall!

Is there a recall? Do you get a refund? Or would Intel just make more money selling replacements for the damaged CPUs?

Yes, quite interesting. Unfortunately, I suspect that four years from now, regardless of who has been the president, the situation will be the same.

At least 8 people arrested at the anti-Israel rally face federal charges; local prosecutors dropped misdemeanors against others The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., has charged Frederick Coates, Crow Momamome and Antonio Somerville with attempting to carry a dangerous weapon. Zachary Kam was charged with two counts of assault on a police officer. Nathaniel Lawrence, Sonia Krishan and Roger Miller face charges of attempted theft. And Essa Ejelat has been charged with threats related to the protest. There were also numerous people arrested Wednesday who will not face charges at this stage of the investigation. The D.C. attorney general’s office was presented with 11 cases that were "no-papered," meaning the charges were dropped. Three of those charges were for crossing police tape, five for "disorderly conduct – inciting violence" and three for "disorderly conduct – causing unreasonable fear," all misdemeanors.

How long before Kamala announces her Butler appearance?

That is about right.

Or shucks, a significant portion of the population became lesbians, queers, or transgender.

@Axtremus said in Buyer’s Remorse for Vance: Purely from a deadlines/logistics perspective, is there still time for the GOP to replace Vance with another VP nominee? Ultimately I think it is probably up to the State and the State's electoral process. I know one guy who thinks a sitting VP can decide. Prior to the election I believe the RNC can swap in a new VP candidate.

@Jolly said in Under the stars no more...: I don't know what it's going to take for us to admit our illegal drug and mental health problems are intertwined and require some serious intervention. The Democratic Party Platform has many paragraphs talking about mental health and substance abuse together: https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/2020-Democratic-Party-Platform.pdf The Republican Party Platform has no such awareness: https://prod-static.gop.com/media/RNC2024-Platform.pdf You should vote Democratic.

He certainly does. I wonder if that was studied. If so, smart.

A friend of mine’s sister won a bronze medal in dressage at a previous Olympic Games.

Answered. And to no surprise, lots of work and special equipment is required. Link to video

@Mik said in Back to the contractor drawing board: I made the right decision. I've never seen a project start badly and get better. Good line. Also he used the word “cuz”. That would be a near deal breaker for me right there.

Sorry man. That sounds awful.
