Longer seasons would allow them to throw in a few SciFi oriented episodes that don't necessarily advance character arcs. Where would SNW be if TOS didn't have the "Arena" (Gorn) episode that was based on a completely unrelated SciFi short story?

Mirror, Mirror was a SciFi episode that not only gave us the foundation for Discovery, but cemented the evil-twin-goatee trope into pupular culture.

Space Seed (Botany Bay/Khan) was also a one-off SciFi episode. Where would the entire franchise be without it?

I really hope SNW makes room for exploring the sort of SciFi ideas that Star Trek was originally based on.

I have one major quibble with your analysis. It is this: Redhat no longer exists as an organization. Redhat is merely a trademark of IBM. You can't defend IBM's actions based on Redhat's history. That was a different company

Republicans are a dog that loves to chase cars. They finally caught one and now they are getting dragged under its wheels.

50k lines is, IMHO, way too large for a bash script. I'd switch to python long before before that. Bash is primarily an *interactive shell. Bash has a lot of nice scripting capabilities (that few are aware of, let alone use) but its primary use is not as a programing language. As far as standard libraries go: sed, awk, grep, curl, netcat, etc... provide plenty of advanced capabilities. That's the Unix philosophy, lots of small utilities that each do one thing well and that work with streams of bytes as i/o. Tie them together with a powerful shell, and an ordinary user can do quite a lot without "programming". Is the Unix philosophy perfect? No. Has it proved to be the most flexible and successful compute environment developed for over 50 years? Yes.

I've been running tiny tiny tss (ttrs) server since google reader died. It's been great & there's an android app.

No wounds, just ask where people might know the answer. You wouldn't ask people in Seattle what the current weather is in Atlanta.

When you've collected 47 hammers. All your problems begin to look like nails.

No one said "most gun owners". You're trying to shift the argument to something you have a chance with.

That's where I signed up too. I'm going to give them a few more days before I give up on them.

I'd also like to know how to export my community subscriptions.

The only candidate trying to stop him has been Christie. And I'm grateful to him for his effort.

I cringe in horror at the idea of children using stainless steal straws. There's so much potential for horrible accidents.

Alfalfa & Spanky?
I haven't thought about them in decades.

You can't be truly "business friendly" without being worker friendly too.

Besides, block chain us yesterday's fad. Today's is AI.

For me, Baconreader was reddit. Reddit is no more.

My company runs thousands of centos VMs. We cannot exist if we have to license rhel. We've been working on switching to Alma. We may have to look elsewhere for a free distro that has robust SeLinux support.

That's a more recent phenomenon. These folk were retiring just as that culture was taking off.

I'm a bit older than you and gotta disagree one one point. The 50s was NOT an optomistic time for American SciFi. With the exception of "Forbidden Planet", which heavily influenced TOS, 50s SciFi was dominated by paranoia, repression & fatalism. There were monsters under every rock. Our inability to control ourselves and our technology was dooming our future. The early 60s TOS was an optomistic breath of fresh air. Maybe we wouldn't blow ourselves up after all

Block chain is still a really cool solution in search of a problem to solve. Money wasn't it. NFTs isn't it. What is? Sports betting, maybe?

Unfortunately, there's not enough of them even 8f they do disproportionately more harm.
