Very sorry to hear this.

People definitely need refreshers. Every time I go out I see at least one idiot on the road who would cause an accident if the drivers around them weren't paying attention.

Good luck!

Also, I see only one cat in your photo. We need photos of all six cats.

You're forgetting that the President is typically a decent, honorable, heroic individual in many of those films too.

This sounds like a really bad idea:

The “most charismatic” application of AI, said Ellison, would pertain to electronic health records, which would let doctors monitor best practices in far flung places. For instance, a doctor in Indian River reservation would be able to see how a doctor at Memorial Sloan Kettering would a treat a patient, he said.

Do we really want to give a black box unfettered access to everyone's medical records? It's a privacy and security nightmare waiting to happen.

Just send him offworld and close the iris.

IIRC, there are quite a few episodes of Voyager showing the hypospray being loaded/reloaded with a cartridge. It's unclear how many doses are contained in the cartridge, but typically more than one. I would think that for most treatments the Sickbay replicator just produces a ready-to-use batch of cartridges, whereas for more specialised medication the EMH has to actually make it up manually.

You forgot that Windows gives you a simple error code to pass onto the support desk when it crashes! Linux, on the other hand... well, you have to dig through so many log files - who has time to read all those?

Pretty sure they don't want any other skills. That would be a threat to them.

This is not surprising, but neither is it going to make any difference, unfortunately.

Thanks, some good suggestions there. I like all three of your preferred options and I agree about "May 8" too!

Party of "small government" wants to tell councils what they have to do on Australia Day.

On a related note, I wish they'd just hurry up and move Australia Day already. There are other suitable options than 26th January:

Personally 27th May seems like a good option to reframe the focus of the day, with 17 Sept being a similar alternative. For more formal dates, I'd go for 9 May or 30 July.
