    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_Continues Star Trek Continues is an American fan-made web series set in the Star Trek universe. Produced by the nonprofit Trek Continues, Inc. and Dracogen, and initially co-produced by Far from Home LLC and Farragut Films (who previously produced a fan-made "Starship Farragut" series), Star Trek Continues consists of eleven episodes released between 2013 and 2017. The series is an unofficial direct continuation of Star Trek: The Original Series, and emulates its visual and storytelling features to achieve the same look and feel. The creators of Star Trek Continues intended to finish the original five-year mission of the show, which they do in the final two episodes.[1] I may have seen part of one episode of "Farragut" - but it's been forever ago. Go to the link and see the cast. Jame's Doohan's son plays Scotty.

    @taiwan_girl said in Hmmm.....Who Said I was Dead?: https://torontosun.com/news/weird/worst-nightmare-donor-wakes-up-on-operating-table-as-doctors-prepare-to-harvest-organs Everyone here who has participated in giving "anesthesia" for organ harvest raise your hand. Ok, lemme 'splain this. The absolute FIRST thing you do when you do one of these cases is give the "dead" person a huge dose of muscle relaxant. I'm talking about twice the normal dose - you paralyze the hell out of them, and you don't worry about reversing it because, well they're DEAD. Then your job is to maintain cardiovascular stability so that organs don't get damaged - you treat them like any other anesthetic. At least until they stop the heart and thank you for your help and you can go home. Who is "Natalie Miller?" “The donor had woken up during his procedure that morning for a cardiac catheterization. And he was thrashing around on the table,” Ah, so he WASN'T on the operating table when the thrashing occurred. He was in the cath lab. That's completely different, He never made it to the OR. Thrashing around on the table of the cath lab doesn't mean "alive." I wonder what if what they saw was all lower-brain reflexes. If that happened, and I have little doubt that it did, the next thing would be to repeat the EEG and see if there's any cortical activity. All that said, it all sounds pretty sloppy.

    If any legal scholar had been asked pre-Trump what would happen if the vice president declined to certify an election, they'd have shrugged it off as something far less than a threat to our very democracy. These days, it's considered a loophole through which a bad actor president can become ruler for life. Which it is not, and never has been. It is only an existential threat loophole for rhetorical purposes.

    @taiwan_girl said in Wonder if she can still sing?: It is as if she never mentally grew up past a teenager years. She's 42 years old. I reflect on where I was, in my career, at the age of 42.

    There are tons of people out on Amazon overcharging for merchandise, preying on the gullible. I suspect it's lucrative.

    @89th said in How to kill badly needed progress: hat is crazy... so the project has already been in the planning stage for 20 years, it'll take 10 years to actually construct (10 years! I'm glad we have quality standards in the USA... buildings aren't just collapsing like they do in China, but holy crap it only took 13 months to build the Empire State Building, And the Rome Colosseum was biult in 7 (or 9) years by hand and is still standing 2000 years later.

    Given her background, her sympathies are understandable, but... not in a work video. The same would be true for a pro-Israel message. The focus is on the business. Cancel culture is real.
