From the Wikipedia article linked below:

A rotor ship is a type of ship designed to use the Magnus effect for propulsion. The ship is propelled, at least in part, by large powered vertical rotors, sometimes known as rotor sails. German engineer Anton Flettner was the first to build a ship that attempted to tap this force for propulsion, and ships using his type of rotor are sometimes known as Flettner ships.

"On Earth, there is no poverty, no crime, no war. You look out the window of Starfleet Headquarters and you see paradise. Well, it's easy to be a saint in paradise, but the Maquis do not live in paradise. Out there in the Demilitarized Zone, all the problems haven't been solved yet. Out there, there are no saints — just people. Angry, scared, determined people who are going to do whatever it takes to survive, whether it meets with Federation approval or not!"

Some of the best TV ever.

What the fuck is wrong with people? The whole world has gone insane.

According to the article, experts currently believe that writing was invented independently at least four times:

• Mesopotamia (between 3400 and 3100 BCE)
• Egypt (around 3250 BCE)
• China (1200 BCE)
• Mesoamerica (by 500 BCE)

There is still debate around Rongorongo script and Vinča symbols, since no is sure if they are actually writing systems.

Christine is so adorable. I want to keep her safe. Tbh the whole damn SNW crew is adorable.

Lock out, tag out. Poor bastard.

I've got one. I thought John Carter was a fun movie and I have no idea why everyone was so pissed off about it.

Link for the lazy. Apparently her real name. https://www.4029tv.com/...

I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It's not so much the expense. It's the principle.

I'm still bummed that Bitbucket is going cloud-only. We've been using it on-premises for years and it has been lovely. Atlassian must be concerned that their customers won't follow them into the cloud bc they just sent out a customer survey (about two years two late).

Or maybe we shouldn't go storming into people's houses with guns and tactical gear at all.

I played the first half, years ago. Need to play the rest. Have heard good things.

I don't share my password but Disney+ is the one streamer my wife hasn't let me cancel. Would happily leverage even the slightest inconvenience to bolster my argument and ditch the mouse. Make my day, Mickey.

"Vote for me or the country gets it." How uplifting.

He should have motherfucking won for motherfucking Pulp Fiction. 💼

I'm not sure what needs optimizing. It's fine on Pixel Tablet.

Oh yes.

While not as big as your examples, I think Matt Frewer is similarly affiliated and his TNG episode turned out ok. I think it could be done, with the right script.

That's NPR, always speaking truth to power. 🙄 https://www.npr.org/...

I fondly remember the Activision titles for the Atari 2600, especially Star Raiders and the Pitfall games. Also the Scott Adams (not Scott Adams) text adventures from Adventure International on the TRS-80.
