I’ve survived layoffs at companies where we were told that following the cuts, we were going to get leaner and more agile and more efficient.
I’m sure you’ll be just shocked to learn that what actually happened is I ended up doing twice as much work to pick up the laid off people’s slack, and at the end of the year got a smaller bonus than the previous year, along with a raise that didn’t cover inflation. Overall company profits, of course, hit a record high.
It’s Solok and it ain’t close.
Yeah, but then all the dealers start singing happy birthday as they bring my crack out to me and it’s really embarrassing.
Wasn’t it just that Riker was already pissed off at her because she was famous for having gotten people killed and being court martialed over it?
Set your browser up with a good private DNS. I use Control D, which you can use to block a lot of annoying crap.
Did she really have to? Nurses act independently in regular medical settings, but when there’s a doctor with the sum total of a civilization’s medical knowledge available 24/7, everyone else is just a pair of helping hands.
The actual behind-the-scenes reason is much funnier.
Just a REALLY distressing percentage of Hollywood does. The apologia for that fucking freak is absolutely baffling.

They had a black woman in a respected, professional position with an officer’s rank. The same with an Asian man.
And a Russian in a trusted role. That was a pretty big deal during Cold War times, too.
Best boss I ever had!

I don’t know, I think he usually finds a way to thread the needle.
What I love the most about that episode is that Mr. Freeze was a total joke villain before B:TAS. They took a guy whose entire existence was just dumb ice puns in non-serious stories and they did… that.
Incredible show. Gargoyles and ExoSquad were the cartoons of my early adolescent years.
I was SO hoping that the nubbin bugs would make an appearance in Picard.
I was at a hotel bar in Tampa once and ordered a spicy jalapeno margarita. Into the shaker went tequila, Mrs T’s margarita mix, simple syrup (not a five second squirt, but still completely unnecessary) and a spoonful of CANNED DICED JALAPENOS. So it was too sweet, too salty, not tart enough, and barely spicy.
This cost $16.
I have a Pixel 6 and it’s like they specifically engineered this thing to be as drop-prone as possible. Without a case, it’s SO slippery.
