Its tail lights and turn indicators are high up on its already-tall chassis, meaning they're at the limit of peripheral vision for car drivers behind them.

I'm in favor of Internet infrastructure being distributed widely around the world. No one country should hold as much power over the whole network as the US currently does. But I also fear Balkanization of the Internet. It is at its best when information flows freely.

I like something of a hybrid I've seen in a few works: you can make instantaneous jumps, but only between certain points.

Apps like that probably will never accept GIF comments.

Tom Paris: We are demons and we eat children and I haven't had my supper yet.

I had a 17" Dell workstation a few years ago. It was quite heavy and the fans could get pretty loud. For that level of performance, I'd be looking at a mini PC. It, a monitor, and peripherals aren't *that much* less portable that such a large laptop.

This cosmic dance of bursting decadence and withheld permissions twists all our arms collectively, but if sweetness can win, and it can, then I'll still be here tomorrow to high-five you yesterday, my friend. Peace.

Everyone thinks they have the cutest cat and none of them is wrong.

Shh, nobody tell him about Xeno's paradox

In general, I think I look best in green even though it's not my favorite color.
