I don’t hate this. Seems like Skydance has less conflict of interest (i.e. alternative franchises) than the Warner Brothers merger talks from December. Remains to be seen if this is a good thing from a Trek point of view but… Could be worse.
… There is literally no way to watch The Wire and get that message. The whole show is about how hard it is to do worthwhile police work even with the best intentions, and then every character is a piece of shit on top of it.
Only people you can really root for without reservation are the project kids.

So cool, thanks for sharing.
John Carmack, author of the Doom engine, is a long time Linux user and for a while the policy was to open source the idTech engines once they had moved on.
However, Doom was hugely popular on its own before this, and was actually more pivotal for making Windows a gaming platform (over DOS).
The reason it runs everywhere is a combination of it’s huge popularity, it’s (now) open source and it’s generally low system requirements.
It does that everywhere, even on non .deb distros.
One thing I’d like to suggest is get most of their forward facing apps as Flatpak and let them install software that way instead of using the system package manager (even if it has a GUI). This jibes with others suggesting an immutable base system.
Obviously this may be more of a concern for older kids, but my kid started with Linux and it did fine… Right up until Discord started breaking because it was too old and they didn’t want to tangle with the terminal. Same thing when Minecraft started updating Java versions. Discord and Prismlauncher from Flatpak (along with Proton and Steam now) would have kept them happier with Linux.
As for internet, routers come with parental controls these days too, which have the added advantage of being able to cover phones (at least while not on mobile data). Setting the Internet to be unavailable for certain devices after a certain time on school nights may be a more straightforward route than DE tools.
They have to say that. I did 420 in Austin years ago and they said they had a bag policy, but security never actually searched (just glanced) in bags and cops around suddenly went blind to pot. It’s almost like they don’t really care if you have permits and are making the right people money. Shit, now with THC-A etc. being legal here (corpo boondoggle it is) nobody can tell what you’re smoking anyway.
It’s the same thing with big music fests. Yeah, “no drugs allowed” wink wink, nudge nudge.
Dallas is bigger than this map and 90% of it is parking lot or interstate.
Ohtani was holding him back
Yeah, she’s actually got a pretty great arc on the show. Even becomes a qualified bridge commander because of that episode.
And, honestly, I think a lot of her sex symbol rep in the '90s was because the public wasn’t ready to take mental health seriously. Some of her counseling scenes have aged pretty well IMO, and her contribution to the crew was very valuable.
Ah, it’s so nice to have baseball back. Miss you O’Neill, the Cardinals entire outfield is on the IL.
The Democratic party has always been for migrant child decapitation, you just weren’t liberal enough to see how it’s woke.
I’m okay with it. My problem with Disco is how high stakes breathless it is all the time, visiting the timeline with a lower stakes Academy lens could be cool. Being far future means it won’t be a TOS/TNG cameo fest (SNW’s biggest flaw) and I wouldn’t mind being able to do some actual character development on Tilly / other Disco crew if they weren’t just constantly in mortal danger.
Of course it’ll probably end up being flashy bullshit again, but I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt for now.
This isn’t a benchmark of those systems, it’s showing that the code didn’t regress on either hardware set with some anecdotal data. It makes sense they’re not like for like.
I rewatched for S4 and honestly S2 just sorta failed as a follow up, but it was… Okay for a procedural. S1 was only great because of the McConaughey/Harrelson duo, the end was actually kinda weak I think. Then S3 was just S1 redux with Mahershala (although I loved his character).
I think S4 might actually be the best complete season.
Non-existent is probably hyperbole, but I think it’s pretty reasonable to feel that way after your kids have grown and you realize you never made the time to really focus on them. Even if you have a nominal relationship later, it’s as an adult, it’s only certain times a year, it’s focused on the grandkids etc.
I am about 80% through it as an audiobook (waiting for it to come back from the library) and I agree. Great to listen to him, tons of non Trek info I didn’t know that is still quite interesting.
Not the best husband to be sure, but I do like that he’s pretty up front about it. Seems like his first marriage was effectively over as soon as he found American success and his wife (understandably) didn’t want to abandon her own career in the UK. Hard to listen to Capt. Picard be unfaithful (with Vash no less!) but I felt for him more than most egomaniac rock stars who fuck anything that moves.
EDIT: Also loved how he hates Thatcher for demolishing all of the programs he used to get trained as an actor coming from a poor background. There was a lot of mutual aid in his early life that seems non-existent today.
If you haven’t read Patrick Stewart’s autobiography that just came out, Making it So, you should. Or, even better, listen to him read it in an audiobook.
That’s not surprising. Once you get familiar with how shallow and rigged the system is, you either exploit it, or you fight it. There are people out there that did all of that too… And then decided to go into finance.
