Americans trust Fauci over RFK Jr. and career scientists over Trump officials RFK Jr. has tried hard to villainize Fauci. Americans still trust Fauci more.

I've always found it amazing that the ET makes it *almost* to orbit. It must have been amazing to watch it float away after separation.

I think the Omega class destroyers are my favorite Sci-Fi ships of all. I built a 1m long model of the Agamemnon last year.

If I recall correctly, JMS gave NASA the full specs and design for free, with only one requirement- if they ever base a design on them the end result must be called a "Starfury".

I can't agree more!
It's the best Trek in my opinion- I think it's passed DS9 for me.

"Lover Decks stuff" is a nice typo!

A sinkhole suddenly opened at an Omaha, Nebraska intersection, swallowing two cars stopped at a red light.

Both drivers escaped unharmed, but the street may remain closed for days over expansion concerns.

They dropped their "Maquisness" far too quickly in my opinion (as the other poster said, in half an episode). I would have gone with them grudgingly agreeing to travel together for about half a season before maintaining both ships became too expensive to continue with both...

New evidence from the James Webb Space Telescope confirms that a "runaway" black hole escaped from its host galaxy and left a trail of young stars scattered in its wake! πŸ§ͺ

This opinion is, BY FAR not the prevailing opinion of Canada about America. It’s more like:

I've seen many comments on here regarding "Trump being the same as Hitler" (incl. Americans).

Here's the thing, whilst Trump is pretty close to Hitler, there's no historic record of Hitler being a pedophile like Trump is.

Therefore, Trump is everything Hitler was and even worse than Hitler.

I've always wanted a baby PVM. I've got a 2030 and a 2530, but a smaller one would be very handy!

That's pretty much what I meant to say. All I can say is that my suppliers are showing 1-3 different drives (manufacturers, capacities, etc) available instead of the usual 12-25.

I wanted to pick up a 16 or 20 TB unit a couple weeks ago and had to settle for an 8. "Supply issues" is what I was told

I read earlier today that all spinning drives for 2026 production are sold out already at WD and Seagate.

Get yourself an auto-reversing LD player! I still have one, they're great.

It's a measure of how good a *profit* you are, not how good you are with money. If you spend within your means and don't borrow much; or are self-employed, your credit score plummets. :-/

THIS. This here is my number one problem with BSG. It becomes very obvious they had no overarching plot, and were just winging it.
