Ubisoft isn’t making money. That’s something wrong as far as the board is concerned.

Interestingly enough Luca Galante the creator spent 10 years coding digital slot machines. He used a lot of the techniques used by them to keep you playing. He just did it in a way to maximize fun instead of micro transactions.

As your stomach fills and stretches it sends a chemical “I’m full” message (GLP1) to the brain. When this signal is low you are hungary, medium you are full, and high you get nauseous.

Ozempic causes that message to be produced at low constant levels in addition to what is produced by the stomach.

So you don’t feel as hungry, you hit satiety faster, and if you continue to eat you get nauseous. This results in behaviors that reduce calorie consumption.

It also delays gastric emptying which also keeps you feeling full longer.

Yeah she had character and was interesting. Crusher had hot redhead. I liked Crusher but would have preferred Pulaski stick around.

A perfect example of the magnificent bastard trope.

Farscape was once described as one Americans slow decent into the Australian S&M scene.

To show that hack writers didn’t get what made the borg cool and scary. They turned then into normal boring bad guys.

So you see it all started with space frogs hundreds of millions of years ago…

The DS9 writers and actors also had workarounds for Berman. They would write a scene and then a close but Berman friendly version. He would ok it and then the actors would “improvise” the original script.

Dukat was another case of the writers and actor colluding. Berman wanted him to be straight up evil. The writers and actor wanted to give him respectable motivations for his evil acts.

So he is not a good guy but you can respect the love for family and state that drives his terrible crimes.

In DS9 the less human like the character is the more interesting they tend to be.

In the US you probably get 2 weeks of flexible PTO and about 5 days where everybody gets a day off. Even that is not guaranteed US law doesn’t require any PTO.

I really dislike lower decks. I find it annoying and lacking in ideas. I feel exactly the same about Final Space the previous show by the creator.

That said I don’t think it’s bad or not very “Star Trek”. It just completely grates on me.

To contrast I really like TOS, TNG, and DS9. I thought VGR and ENT felt “Star Trek” but badly written. DSC and PIC are badly written and don’t feel “Star Trek” to me. I’ve herd the final PIC season is pretty good so I’ll give it a shot at some point.

Yeah Piper Peeri is the tiny blond from the meme with her and five big black guys. She has some dark stuff in her past that I always think of when that meme pops up.

Yeah he was 17 at the start of Next Gen. He is 51 now. A lot of time to get better at acting.

People with expensive well worn running shoes have better cardiovascular health. So let’s give people well worn running shoes to improve their health.

“Can we have Star Trek?” “No, we have Star Trek at home.”

To be fair the safety screen is like sunglasses. Sometimes you need them and sometimes it makes things hard to see. But yeah he should have just hit the button or dived under three desk.

RTD Doctor Who usually operates on cartoon logic. The Doctor is smart and can do clever things sure. But pushing radiation from his body into his shoe and tossing it in the garbage. That’s Bugs Bunny stuff.

Mass makes a dent in space time changing the path of objects. That effect we call gravity. Think a person on a trampoline with balls rolling bye. Negative mass would flatten space time or make a hump in it.

The idea here is sort of like an atom looks neutral from far away if you get close there is a big positive charge in the center and a big negative charge in the electron cloud.

So you have normal mass from far away but some wierd effects at very small distances that have effects.

No antimatter has normal mass. It behaves just like normal matter it just has the opposite charge for it’s fundamental particles.

It’s a good question though. Although it was expected that antimatter would fall down not up it wasn’t proven experimentally until 2023.

The number of times in trek where they could easily destroy the ship or entity that was causing the problem in the episode is huge in Trek. But they spend most of the episode trying to figure out how solve the problem with the minimum damage to both sides.
