So my roommate is a habitual cigarette smoker. He doesn’t smoke indoors (thankfully) but he does smoke about every other night outdoors. I don’t think he realizes that when he’s done smoking the smell sort of… lingers on him and his clothes. Last night after he was done he was in the kitchen for a bit cooking. I came in...
Hi there. I’ve had 3 terrible days in a row and I’m in desperate need of some good laughs. Which episodes do you recommend? I’m too tired to think straight by now. Bonus points if Neelix is in them. Thanks in advance. :)
Right there with you, friend. Hope things get better for you. Thankfully you’ll find no shortage of Star Trek episodes to give you hope for the future.
If it’s laughs you’re after, I’d just binge some Lower Decks and bust a gut.

For many years now I’ve had in my memory this scene from star trek tng where, for whatever reason, a group of British officers and Irish officers led by O’Brien start getting nationalistic and sing their respective national songs at each other.

Less than one minute. The police weren’t even called there for her, they were in the parking lot for an “unrelated call.” And why was an officer standing in front of her car leaning on the hood holding a gun in her face in the first place? There are so many things wrong with this.
The question for me is, is a couple hundred Dollars of alcohol or groceries worth someone’s life? Why not let her go and pursue charges against her rather than executing her in the parking lot?

Absolutely. Sound waves are vibrations. Vibrations can be transmitted to other materials. Like electrical conductors, some materials conduct sound better than others. The amount of energy in sound is pretty low, so it’s not going to create a lot of heat or light, unless we’re talking about sound levels that would be dangerous to not only hearing but would cause death.

As comfortable as I’d be with a woman taking contraceptives. None are completely safe and there haven’t been nearly enough studies on their effects (particularly the mental health implications).
Just because there hasn’t been enough study on men’s birth control, doesn’t mean we put the burden of contraceptives on women alone.
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....

I agree with you about the surgical masks but I’m not sure that the risks of carbon monoxide can be overstated.
There have been a number of families recently in the US that have died of CO poisoning due to the lack of CO alarms. If you have natural gas appliances, definitely keep CO alarms around the house.
A few years ago we were looking at putting in a whole house fan, and one of the risks is, if you don’t have proper ventilation set up, you can pull CO into the house instead of it ventilating like it’s supposed to.
There are definitely risks but you can mitigate them with CO detectors/alarms.
As someone who has never voted for a Republican and never will, I can honestly say the Democratic party doesn’t trick anyone into anything. That’s some next-level political strategy and we don’t even do basic strategy, like focusing on our brand/image/messaging/consistency/opposition research/etc.
Unfortunately the Democratic party has become the Mayo party; it’s inoffensive and you can put it on anything. We’re the margarine party. People vote for Democrats because the alternative is Fascism.

Copper metal "dissolves" in nitric acid (HNO3). Actually, the nitrate ion oxidizes the copper metal to copper (II) ion while itself being transformed to NO2 gas in the process; the copper (II) ion then binds to six water molecules.
