She has travel insurance and it doesn't really cover any diagnostics unless she gets admitted to the hospital as it's meant for emergencies. She went to urgent care for her back pain and they really scared her with what they thought is the likely issue and they recommended that she go to an ER to get a MRI which would likely be out of pocket unless she got admitted.
Mother-in-law hurt her back and now wants to go back to Europaland where she's sure she can get good healthcare from the doctors she trusts without us going broke trying to pay for it. So now we're scrambling to purchase a ticket for her, canceling/trying to get a refund or at least credit for my father-in-law's ticket to come here in June, and get a babysitter in place until my son is old enough to go to his daycare in May. $$$
They're just about to hit the first stretch goal and add the warpriest. Not my jam but hopefully they'll add something that appeals to me before it's all said and done.
I'd assume that they'd still include a suppression weapon in the fire team/squad makeups
The 250k bullet thing is also very misleading since it implies that's how many times we fire at an enemy to get a kill. The article itself even mentions that most of them are used in training in a throwaway line.
It's so stupid, no doubt. Star Trek that you actively try not to think too deeply about is something I can't believe exists today but it's what we got.
Not sure why these are the types of Trek shows we're getting. This stuff is not art it's just a product meant to sell subscriptions so why not make just one show that appeals more to the Trek fans they already have and appeal to new fans that may want something smarter. They can keep doing the shows they feel like making as well since they've stated that they always want something Star Trek on but just give us something.
Read a rumor that Seth McFarlane and NBC were and maybe still are looking to buy Star Trek. Hopefully that's true even though the rumor also said CBS was so puffed up on initial Picard reviews that they were asking way too much.
I like to include the Seinfeld finale on lists of best final episodes to see if people call me out on it. Don't think it has happened yet.
I'm not sure cyclic rate is the best measure either because even if a firing mechanism can theoretically function as such rates it is pretty much an impossibility to get those same numbers in the real world.
