This is great on so many levels. The tenacity to hold on. The fact that the dude is TRUCKING while literally dragging a grown ass man. Most of all, the sheer tensile strength of that shirt. Beautiful.

I really want Star Trek: JAG. I think a Star Trek court room drama would be really fun and you could have the Temporal Investigators as regular guests.

Stopped by Culver's for the first time this month on a road trip through the Midwest. Was seriously impressed by the food but also seriously off put by them yelling "WELCOME TO DELICIOUS!" at me every time I entered.

The analogy I use when defending gen ed is how pro athletes cross-train by doing exercises not directly related to their sport. Cross-training increases overall strength and endurance. Classes not directly related to your major exercise new parts of the brain, which improves overall performance

Ah! Gotcha!! Thank you for clarifying. That's interesting if the power structure becomes more decentralized from the 23rd to the 24th centuries.

I thought that the fleet wasn't directly owned by the Empire but by Houses who were then called upon during times of war, like bannermen. For example, in the TNG Klingon civil war they're buying for allies who control ships. I always saw that as a major fracture point in the system.

Does the methods the Trump Admin is using to deport 'dangerous gang members' remind anyone else of Thuggee Suppression in British India? Guilt by association, no evidence required, no due process, hearsay enough to secure conviction.
