  1. Seems like at least some people are excited for the reboot... 😛
  2. Hi, I'm pretty sure that you have the wrong Obsidian. This is the game developer website. What you are referring to seems like it may be the knowledge base software developer. You are more likely to find answers for your questions in their forum: https://forum.obsidian.md/
  3. Maybe the Tabiche Pepper or Carolina Cayenne? I think high-end heats for both would be higher than a low-end Habenero.
  4. "A Plague Cheese" "TUROPHILE: Shadows of Cheesenobyl" "Cheeseomunda" "Cheese & Blade II: Brielord" "CHEESELEX" "Zeno Cheese" "Two Cheeses I & II" plus Indie game about trying to get Casu Martzu smuggled out of Sardinia, "Papers Cheese"
  5. Alfred Hitch**** remade his own film, The Man Who Knew Too Much. 😋
  6. Given that JMS is behind it again, I'm okay with him doing it.
  7. There are some productions I've seen where you can tell that the sets they're using wasn't designed for color from the 60s when the change to color was rolling out (there's a couple of noticeable ones in the ITV series MAN IN A SUITCASE).
  8. Yeah, it was a fantastic moment the first time I saw it. Still cool even after that.
  9. Went to the dentist for routine cleaning and check-up (no cavities) then took my car in for service (no cavities there, either).
  10. I wonder if he'll throw ideas from Crusade in that blender...?
  11. I haven't seen anything yet that has convinced me TOS isn't the top for me personally. TNG The Chase. The last two thirds are fun, but the first third is overly serious and somewhat silly (the professor expects the person who walked out on him at the beginning of his career to throw everything away at the peak? Why the one ship exploded is never explained as everyone is surprised by it but it goes nowhere as a plot point and ultimately the whole thing about the peace conference is unnecessary as it also gets handwaved away as a complication - as scientific explorers there's no reason the Enterprise couldn't have just straight up been assigned to the mission and give more time for the fun stuff. At least we get a Norman Lloyd appearance...) Remainder of the story is a fun run-around with attempted double-crosses. Linda Thorson's Cardassian Gul is fun - pity she never reoccured - and John Cothran's Klingon Captain gets a lot of amusing lines. Troi's in uniform again.

  13. I imagine it was worse for syndicated programs at the time since they might be pre-empted by other local station programming. It still could have made a light arc, without heavy episode-to-episode continuity. Comics at the time did that.
  14. TNG "Lessons" Pretentious title much? Picard finds love then must send them on a dangerous mission where his ability to be impartial breaks. The episode works primarily because of the actors, and ends up being a decent dramatic episode for the most part. That said, it seems weird how in the episode where Picard finds romance with Lt Daren, her area of responsibility also ends up crucial to the story - including a spot for Daren at the big meeting table when Stellar Cartography had never been there before. It points to one of the primarily structural weaknesses of the episode, namely that it should have had more episodes to develop the Daren and her department in a natural way so that the final conflict with the solar wind (or whatever) felt natural. While yes, most episodes were done-in-ones in the era, this type story I think would be better percolating for a bit; Lt. Daren and Stellar Cartography should have had multiple appearances leading to this culmination of the arc for her character and relationship with Picard. Also, Troi was in her uniform in this episode for those counting at home.
  15. My grandfather used to fill up at Col. Sanders' gas station in Corbin, but according to my dad they never ended up eating in the restaurant when they were traveling through that area. My dad was only a few months old when fire destroyed the original place, so he only ever really saw the rebuilt one.
  16. Rediscovered archival photos capture Amelia Earhart visit to Atlanta in 1934 (ajc.com)
  17. The government does not require you to buy your groceries at Stokrotka does it? My point is that even if stores want your vaccination information and you do not want to voluntarily surrender it, there is no government requirement making you shop at that store that requires you to give up your vaccine information. If left to their own devices, owners would choose what would be best for them and their clientele and customers would choose where to take their business. If one place requires vaccines, then odds are another will not. Or vice-versa, and if one didn't exist then there would be incentive to create it to cater to the customers who'd use it if a sustainable customer base existed. Further, it is completely legal to deny services to customers. No shirt no shoes no service exists because of public safety concerns with germs, if I recall correctly, which is why it is usually a requirement for restaurants. Having to pay to be a member of a store like Sam's Club means stores are only open to members, not just anyone. Most standardized testing companies will deny service if you can't show proof of identity with a non-expired government issued ID with photo and signature. There there are things like requiring a suit jacket and tie for male patrons of an upscale restaurant which might no tbe seen as reasonable in this day of business casual, but also is not illegal. And then you have even more arbitrary situations like Ali “Al” Yeganeh refusing service to anyone who takes too long to order which, again, is not illegal. What is illegal, here at least, is for businesses open to the public to refuse service for certain types of immutable demographic characteristics. Immunization status would not be one of those. Also, there is the issue that public health emergencies are a different thing entirely, anyhow. As has been pointed out in these threads before, we already require proof of vaccinations here in the US for other public health issues (like immunizations for enrollment in public school) which isn't a violation of privacy. You don't have to buy sneakers or headphones to live; you can probably buy them from a number of places that would deliver them to your home without you needing to disclose your medical information, nor are you required, by the government, to shop at a particular store under penalty of legal action for sneakers and headphones. That would make it a voluntary disclosure on your part and not illegal. You can choose not to patronize any store that requires of you something you do not want to give, whether its putting on shoes, a tie or showing your vaccination status.
