Just to preface my opinion, I think it’s ok to disagree on this haha. HOWEVER I don’t think it’s much of a travesty anytime Chakotay didn’t get to have a main plot. He’s a really wooden actor (made all the more obvious by mulgrew’s strength) who was given a really poorly defined character (as you can see by the way his hobbies are, like, whatever they needed to be for the plot to move? And never the same?) And sure, the powers that be wanted eye candy… but seven did end up being a super substantial character. She had some of the best stories and made all the best characters better just by being there. She was an amazing foil!

Sitting in the splash zone of this whole thing, Matt’s contribution to the project is a net negative. Professionally and personally, he is seems unable or unwilling to deescalate conflict. In fact, he creates conflict where none is necessary, and then seems to act shocked and disappointed at the results.

He makes decisions unilaterally that don’t reflect what a thoughtful steward of an open source project would do. (And I say this as a proponent of the idea of the block editor, and as someone for whole building sites with blocks is my bread and butter- except I use ACF, full disclosure.) an example, picayune as it may seem, is the function capital_P_dangit().

It’s not picayune, by the way.

And now this mess. This is by far the most destructive thing he’s done. He needs to be removed.

I was just mentioning Britanny Murphy’s performance to my husband the other day, she was such an island of (hilarious) sincerity in a perfect river of satire.

Also I think I say “it’d be real easy” like … once a week?

“Drive me home?”

“Don’t let her fool you, she lives two trailers down!”

“So? It’d be real easy!”

The Spanish Prisoner. I won’t spoil anything, but Steve Martin’s performance is remarkable!

Primer is another movie I’ve returned to over and over.

Also, Ever After for comfort.

+1 for drop dead gorgeous, my favorite comedy along with muppets from space.

I heard about it when it was in development but hadn’t followed up! I still have escape velocity on my 2024 Mac but maybe I will check I out the loving homage.

Escape velocity (1996, ambrosia software game for macOS). My favorite computer game of all time I think.

That sounds amazing; I would buy immediately.

And she DID

I am so curious. Tell me more about this? Can you share a link? What are the mines like- I’ve seen devs do escape room style challenges where you’re solving a progressive puzzle using dev tools, is it like that?

I have it on good authority it was Dancing in the dark by Springsteen

There’s like… no downside: all upside.

Edit: I exaggerated, of course. Below this are some downsides that individuals have experienced. But personally, my experience using Firefox on desktop for Mac has been all upside. If everybody who can just tries it out, you might be surprised at how friction-free the change is.

Who else assumed this was a technology connections video before reading the channel name?

“Assume a spherical bird in a frictionless vacuum”

FYI for those confused by parent comment or the comment I’m replying to: if you use the reader mode of the in- app browser, the article is cut off quite early and there’s no indication that there’s more to be read if you read it directly.

Is it just me or does the species name sound more like a microscopic animal? That’s what I’ve always thought.

American here: when I read that in my own accent I didn’t get it, so I backed up and read the punchline in an English accent and I laughed. Funny how that works

Rod sterling. (For transparency, I clicked on this thread to reply with this answer and in doing so I did see that everyone has answered ‘Serling’ and thus suspect that I’m just remembering a more common, well-known word. But I being 36 on know his name in the retrospective and apparently misread it.)

Night! Bird!

I mean, I did. I never thought I would, because I use dev tools all the time and I was worried it would be a problem, but it wasn’t. I don’t miss it. Firefox is fine!

People: If you’re trying to decide whether to switch, just do it! It’s good for the internet and it didn’t even take that long to import my bookmarks, install all the same extensions, and increase the tiny tiny font size of tab names. Like, maybe twenty minutes all tallied up. Worth it!
