I’m using the free version and not missing the paid features!

Same with great results! Especially if you have hard water.

🫡 Thank you for sending me down a rabbit hole of early Federation days which made me rediscover Tellarites.

I’m with you! The show wasn’t perfect but it was cool to see a crew explore before the prime directive , stable transporters and the federation. Tons of opportunities to explore that further.

Agreed. I find myself using Siri on walks via AirPods quite a bit. Siri what’s the weather going to be like tonight . Siri what’s in my calendar tomorrow. Siri what’s the latest news. (That opens up podcast app and plays local news I love it. ). Siri let me know when it’s 12:30. I just wish it got better at answering simple questions. A few articles mentioned Apple started looking at incorporating a GPT style AI with Siri.

I’m not sure what you mean by the source. In this case Ground News is an app.

There are daily news podcasts if you like consuming information that way. Apple News , AP News and Ground News are good news aggregates. Reuters has a cool app where you get to pick the amount of time you have (5 minutes to 30 minutes I think ) and it shows you the top stories in video format. RSS feeds of your favourite news sites with a RSS app like Feedly.

I used to have the “Apple for hardware , google for software” mentality. I’d use google mail, calendar, maps, drive, chrome…on my apple products.

But recently I’ve noticed myself slowly migrate to Apple. I have Apple One family (not premier ) which is worth it IMO.

Apple Maps feels less invasive than Google maps and they’ve upped their game recently.

Safari has become my default browser with Ecosia as the default search engine. Love that Safari shares tabs across devices.

I still have Google mail and calendar installed though. I prefer the UI.

The copy paste ability across devices is something I use daily too.

This episode reminded me of the Original Series “This Side of Paradise” and it made me wonder if we will hear more about Leila Kolomi the biologist. Leila talks about her falling in love with Spock 6 years prior….which would be in the timeline of SNW!

Fresh cheddar (bonus if in curd form) , warmed in microwave with maple syrup. Sweet, salty, fatty.

Not sure if it’s just in Canada, but that describes Big Turk chocolate bars! They are indeed delicious.

Whenever I smell asphalt, I think of Maureen.

I was a big LucasArts graphic adventure game fan. Maniac mansion, Zak McKracken, Indiana Jones, Loom, Monkey Island Then all the Sierra games: leisure Suits Larry, Police Quest, King’s Quest, Camelot…. Good times.
