The pictures of Kira, the caption for Sisko

I thought she was supposed to be like 10Base2 terminator, unplug her and the network crashes.

And unfertilised fish eggs, which are an Earth delicacy

Well, Klingon food isn’t for everyone

Thank you! (and no need to be sorry, lol)

And this store would be where, exactly?

Makes sense, European crash testing looks for different things and the e-NV200 was only ever passed as a commercial vehicle here so you couldn’t use one as a taxi.

They are well handy, it’s a shame.

A Nissan e-NV200 is what you want … I’m in Spain, there’s a few about. They’re basic work vans, good amount of space in them, easily fixable, etc.

I like those too, sorry.

This seems like a great way to break out of one’s bubble and connect with people and the outdoors :-)

At 85 years old my Mum can’t drive or walk, she does her own shopping with an electric mobility scooter and occasionally needs the help of others … that works fine for her because she lives in what might be called a “15 minute city” these days.

Just walk in to the local shop on your way to/from wherever else you’re going (or just to get out of the house for two minutes if you’ve been working from home) … that way you can have fresh ingredients every day, and you’re walking a bit regularly so you don’t get overweight easily

So, it’s nearly the middle of October and I’m here in Europe “enjoying” the long-running heatwave … 27°C outside right now, hasn’t rained in about a month.

So, any guesses for how much October is going to break records?

Happy pride graph! All the economists see the numbers going up so they think it’s really good

Movie from the '70s that was set in the 60s … representing the 1964 clash between the Mods (scooter riders) and Rockers (bikers) on the beach in Brighton, UK.

There are places where people still do Mod rideouts and many have them decked out like the picture though the riders are a bit too crusty to be getting into fights these days.

That sounds cool, I kinda want a Star Trek themed bandana now …

Fair point, they’re somewhat limited in patterns though aren’t they? (I don’t know, I’m in Europe and about the only time I’ve seen someone wearing a bandana they were cosplaying American bikers)

Then you saw her face?

As a woman with a high hairline, I embraced having nice hats … seriously, I love my hats and there’s no reason dudes can’t as well :-)

I also rock lots of headscarves, but that’s a bit more gendered :-/

Flip side? Uhura is fucking awesome and inspired my mum (now 86) to become a lifelong Trek fan. I’m also a lifelong fan, and I’ve been able to introduce it to my wife, who is also a fan now.

In summary, there’s plenty of Trek fans who aren’t straight white cisgendered men, and the number of toxic morons in this cohort feels much much less than in just about any other mainstream fandom.
