I saw a lot of hate for the Saturn class, and the arguments made sense assuming classic Starfleet designs and concepts.

I, however, love it because it begs the question: why? What is that for? And my mind jumps to all sorts of cool technobabble uses for such a weird ship design.

Some weird portal experiment? Evacuation ship made to maximize shuttle bay access? A specialized science ship designed with tons of inward-facing sensors? The mind boggles with possibilities.

The people who hated in it see wasted space. I see an unopened techno-mystery-box.

Job was the story that turned me away from Christianity. I was in a youth group, and we read it. I started asking questions, and the youth pastors could not form a cohesive defense of God's actions. They got upset that I wouldn't drop it, and they basically asked me not to come anymore if I was going to be "disruptive".

The YouTube channel People Make Games did two videos on how messed up Roblox is. The second one, in particular, was horrifying. (Not sure if I'm allowed to add a link here, but it's easy enough to find.)

To save others a click:

5 appointed by George W Bush (including the chief), 4 by Donald Trump, 1 by George H W Bush, and 1 by Barack Obama.

GOP has been losing popular opinion for years, but they've been stacking the courts every chance they get, and now they are reaping their rewards. Fascism by judicial capture.

I agree, but we'd have to restructure how the House does business.

The current count of Representatives is 435. If we were to go back to old ratios at 30k, we'd have 11,300 Representatives.

We'd have to break it up into smaller, constituent houses, or something.

Yeah, imagine a small rural town trying to start their own car factory today.

"Oh, it's going to cost $100 Million? Well shit..."

It's weird, he doesn't really look like a Tellarite, but he doesn't really look like a Talaxian, either.

I will concede he looks more like a Talaxian than a Tellarite, but still, very different.

Funny enough, if you throw bricks, it counts for both.

I don't like the implication. Riker always respected in consent.

The wizard died doing what he loved...

Being covered in piss.

Yeah, single-use plastics make sense in a medical setting. They have the added value of being sterile where you really need it.

Outside of that setting, it's just a convenience that is costing the environment.
