I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there’s the HP printers and they’re a good deal, so they buy them.
Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don’t have certain knowledge.
Dahl was a great author but wasn’t a very pc person , his family have had to apologise for his anti semitism.
That is putting it very mildly.
"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere. Even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”
He said that in *checks notes* 1971.
Worse, it was in response to criticism to an article he wrote that was justifiably criticizing Israel at a time when it wasn’t so popular to do so. And when he was accused of the old “you’re anti-Israel, so you’re anti-semitic” nonsense, he decided to go, “hell yeah I am!”
LCARS is very pretty, but it’s also really poor as a GUI. It was designed for form over function because of course it was.
Just don’t let it near Porthos.
“Waiting” should have been left in the meme. It would be even funnier.
Farmer’s market farmers generally aren’t from giant corporate farms.
They can have a white supremacy issue though.
The WSB campaign to save it made no sense to me. So many better companies have gone under.
I wouldn’t call him a celebrity at this point. And I don’t know that being a professional athlete automatically makes one a celebrity either. There are plenty of pro athletes that can walk down the street unrecognized. Just because you’re in the NFL doesn’t mean everyone knows you.
Here’s a couple of NPR stories about indigenous people running restaurants that reflect their cultures:
You left out squash, many of varieties of were a staple vegetable across North America (and possibly South as well? I’m less familiar.) Also, peppers. Extremely important.
Weird. I was graciously fed that when I was filming a powwow in Indiana for the local news and they just called them “Indian Tacos.” I wonder why they didn’t give the Navajo credit?
Edit: also…
What I think is fascinating is that there is conclusive evidence that Polynesians and Indigenous South Americans interbred.
But only once.
The Mississippians were growing corn in the Midwest. I am sure it was grown in the East as well. When you have a domesticated plant that grows pretty much everywhere and is able to fulfill a lot of your dietary needs, it spreads and spreads. See wheat or rice. Or in the Andes, potatoes. Or taro in Polynesia.
Does the Great Koala not imply an even greater eucalyptus tree? And does that not imply a yet greater still Australia? At which point, is that on an even still greater Earth? Is it a Great Koala Cycle in both directions?
Nothing concrete, but like I said to the other person, no mainstream news organization would touch a story like that.
What decent sources are left in the U.S.? Every mainstream media outlet kowtows to Trump. Do you think any of them would risk running a negative story about his son while he’s threatening to throw him in prison?
Edit: always check the modlogs…
I told a member of an LGBT organization in York, UK that I would be happy for any help I can get regarding finding me a job above the UK family visa income threshold so my gay daughter can stay here longer than six months after he offered to look over my CV and give me pointers… for the glory of the empire?
It also doesn’t dismiss the fact that Voyager was specifically built to fix the problem.
And there’s also the matter of the fact that science is about confirmation as much as it is about discovery. The Federation would absolutely gather their own data to confirm this before doing something like design and build Voyager with the moving nacelles.
Fair enough. I was suggesting that Michael Okuda didn’t have utility in mind when he made it because that’s not what he was hired for.
Edit: In fact, I just read that he was under directive by Roddenberry to make something minimalist to suggest technological advancement. In that sense, it was prescient.
