Perhaps you're right, Captain. Perhaps I'm insensitive to the bond between you and your subservient quadruped.

I love it when Phlox tells Archer how it is.

Wow Really? I enjoy Phillip Glass but I had no idea. What can I search for to learn more? "14.4baud phillip glass" is giving me nothing 😔

Knoppix wow, a whole OS on a cdrom. My first foray into Linux, I think read about it an issue of MaximumPC (or maybe it was Maxim)

I felt like such a sorcerer when I crossed the threshold from just burning bootleg media to burning and running an ephemeral operating system.

Thanks for reminding me knoppix is still alive and kicking

the traffic light coalition

a road in dustbowl conditions, the whole east has that problem

lots of German flags and judging by the colour an AfD one

Damn, thanks for bringing the context! Never heard of a traffic light coalition before, TIL

How did I do?

Four years later in mecklenburg-vorpommern

Panel 1. spring: travelers must go

Panel 2. summer: where travelers?

Panel 3. fall: knifemen must go

panel 4. where knifemen?

Is it a joke about immigration critics? That they fucked around and now they're finding out?

Misogynistic post-apocalyptic Holden Caulfield

Lol that's a new one for me. It's funny because it's true 🤣

I haven't read any of the long sun books but I feel like I understand that feeling. Fwiw, I first finished all 4 books and was only satisfied with the end of book 3. Thankfully there's so much meat between those endings that it kept me going.

That disappointment is what made me realize that I must have missed some important details and start an immediate reread.

Once I started over on the first book it was amazing to realize how the clues are just everywhere. I'm reading the exact same words, but this time they're hitting way harder.

 

One of my absolute favorites and I'm hoping folks want to talk about it.

Hands down my most reread book. Me, an atheist, never imagined a twisty/puzzly novel about the life and times of future space jesus would speak to me so deeply.

The prose is multidimensional and layered with meanings that only come into focus once you know where it's going.

Some of my favorite examples:

  • The title of chapter 1
  • Severian first finding his dog.
  • Thecla's story of a fortune teller predicting she would sit on a throne.
  • The ending of book 1
  • The ending of book 2

Any other trek fans delighted by Group of Seventeen in book four, realizing it was 10 years ahead of the TNG episode "Darmok"?

Sage advice. In the meeting I will assume positive intent, like he's protecting me from mummy's curse.

Ya I will figure it out, it's just another clown lording over an imaginary fief.

Can't wait for code review lol.

Thanks! I always enjoy trying to decode German memes with what I recall from school and some guessing.

This is the first one I thought I actually understood haha.

 

Been here 5 days and I hate it already, I understand this vacancy now.

 

My personal journey of crawl > walk > run > slap

 

Yall got any of that hitbox porn?

Sub Rosa (startrek.website)
 

still not worth watching subrosa

 

I really like the beginning, but it’s all downhill from there

 
 

I actually read somewhere that Archer did nothing wrong and afterward I began remembering all these scenes haha.

 

They're the things we carry with us, the things that make us who we are. If we lose them, we lose ourselves. I don't want my ~~pain~~ privacy taken away. I need my ~~pain~~ privacy!

 

Also, Engineering: divert all life support to shields and Helm: initiate attack pattern alpha 💪

 

House of Quark is a high point where he saves Quark’s life and allows a Klingon woman to inherit her own house.

Tacking Against The Wind is a low point where he is reduced to a cartoonish mustache-twirler.
