Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy?

Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this....

Add to that a ship that is part weird science lab, part haunted house. And yeah, I could live with the Klingon redesign....

So, I learned in physics class at school in the UK that the value of acceleration due to gravity is a constant called g and that it was 9.81m/s^2. I knew that this value is not a true constant as it is affected by terrain and location. However I didn’t know that it can be so significantly different as to be 9.776 m/s^2 in...

Star Trek and The Orville, which is better/worse?

For the record I do prefer TNG as well, but rewatching The Orville, after you get past its kinda sucky first season, I really...
