  1. I'm looking forward to watching Star Trek Discovery when I get through rewatching TNG for the first time since it aired in first run syndication. I've expressed my opinion of modern Trek vs Roddenberry's intention here before, but even though I think Trek has been irrevocably changed (in better and worse ways), I think there's still room to enjoy the series and movies.
  2. Most police departments that I am aware of have rigorous screening processes to screen out hotheads or people who want a license to be a thug. The bigger problem (IMO) with police is the increasing fetishistic militarization going on in police departments combined with the traditional institutionalizing that the workforce endures (and also creates and fosters in itself in some cases) that develops an "us vs them" perception of police work. This is furthered by the fact that most police don't live where they police, which helps to dehumanize the population where they do police. And indeed it is also furthered by the fact that the collective common sense of humanity is lower than ever, as are critical thinking skills, which combine to make bad judgement de rigueur instead of anomalistic.
  3. Battle Beyond the Stars wasnt Star Wars but it was a fun riff on THE SEVEN SAMURAI, but in Space (with Robert Vaughan playing more or less the same character he played in that other THE SEVEN SAMURAI remake, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN...)
  4. There's logistical reasons why parties were useful. But the parties are also an impediment, imo, to elected officials representing their constituents.
  5. If you can't have a partiless system, than the more parties the better.
  6. You need to contact obsidian support then; while possible a dev will see your thread here, this is mostly peer to peer help. https://support.obsidian.net/contact
  7. Have you tried going to the vault or to the treasure chest area and back? That sometimes would clear up issues in the past.
  8. Seatbelt laws as well, IIRC.
  9. I don't know if our organization has security issues or if its a cost issue given that they already have licenses to other tools.
  10. We can't use Zoom either, but a vendor used WebEx to show us how to do something virtually the way they'd approve us to do it with the ability to extrapolate that to our preferred platform (in this case it'd be WebEx).
  11. My favorite MS Teams meeting was the one that was a live demonstration of how to do something in Zoom. EDIT: Wait strike that, it was a WebEx to show us how to use Zoom.
  12. Clancy Brown was the voice of Lex Luthor in SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES
  13. You do realize those are all actors who played Lex Luthor...?
  14. But...aren't most people taught at government run schools, so wouldn't trusting the history teacher's version of events be to trust the governments? 🤔
  15. It looks like currently it is.
  16. Is there some new update? The linked webMD article is 20 years old.
  17. RIP. HAUSU (House) was a fun horror film. I hear some of his other films were good but I don't know if I've seen them.
  18. Mort Drucker, MAD magazine artist.
  19. Even if there aren't any shenanigans, they wouldn't be able to confirm cause of death until after the autopsy test results returned, so a confirmed COVID-19 case wouldn't immediately reflect in the statistics anyhow. There's no way a death at home on Sunday would reflect in the numbers reported on Monday even with a government that honestly reports the numbers.
  20. New thread -
  21. Other than sheltering in place, that is. Old thread -
