If us Star Trek nerds can’t get our facts straight, what hope for humanity?

Measure of a Man is season 2!

I’d start with Strange New Worlds. It’s very classic Trek in terms of its themes and stories, but as it’s still being made it has contemporary audiences in mind. If you like it, I would then go to TNG.

Yeah, you’re right about the footnotes. I read someone the other day saying they felt like Kuang was writing with an imaginary social justice scold hovering over her, and I think that’s about right. I find it odd that someone feels they have to say ‘racism — which is bad, by the way — exists in this society’. We know it’s bad! Even racists don’t like being called racist!

I started reading it yesterday, so I’ll let you know.

Why did you dislike it?

My advice is to try it out at an indoor gym first! And also never to free solo anything! Ever!

Yeah, free soloing is the one. I climb all the time, totally happy doing anything at any height with a rope but without one? Nah.

I don’t think this is true at all. She has a lot of media appearances coming up, as does Tim Walz.

But as other people have said, if you’re worried about, you can do something about it!

Here are the Encyclopedia Britannica pages for Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney, which have the same dates of birth for both individuals as cited above.

Yes.

Dick Cheney is 83 (born 1941).

Liz Cheney is 58 (born 1966).

83-58=25

So Dick Cheney was 25 when his daughter was born. This seems pretty normal and certainly not impossible.

There used to be a very similar shop near me that was actually just a front for selling cannabis.

Do you mean where people use it as an adjective? E.g., ‘This house is very aesthetic’ where they mean ‘beautiful’?

God will save the King, us peasants have to save ourselves.

First time I’ve ever felt like joining the army.

GOD SAVE THE KING

How deep does the rabbit hole go?

Oddly, it’s also true of me and my wife. Maybe I was on to something?

I thought that women drank tea and men drank coffee, because that was what my mum and dad did.

But he voted Trump in 2016. I think that’s what @Chuymatt@beehaw.org meant by a ‘historical conservative’.

I thought: 8 billion people in the world. Someone’s gonna be into it.

Whether or not George Mallory summitted Everest.

Mallory was a great climber. People who knew him think he had the ability. Another member of his expedition saw Mallory and his partner, Andrew Irvine, close to the summit, but not close enough to be certain whether or not they made it.

Neither man returned from the mountain. Mallory’s body was later found, many decades after he died. but Irvine was never seen again, dead or alive.

There are various other bits of circumstantial evidence, but the fact is we’ll simply never know for sure. I like to think they made it.
