Perhaps Microsoft realized that a device can't boot to Linux install media, if it can't boot at all.

This is such a perfect use of this meme format.

Did you try being born ultra rich? I've heard it helps. I wish someone told me sooner.

O'Brien won't be sharing that secret with anyone. Not even Keiko.

That is pretty sad, but I think she and he were both right to respect the impact she had by staying in the role.

The most iconic science fiction crew of all time will forever include a prominent impressive black woman. Nichelle made that happen, through her performances.

If Avenue 5 gets Red Dwarf revived, I will buy two or three box set collections to celebrate. Canceling Avenue 5 was a crime.

Spike was what Neelix shoulda been and it's hilarious.

Yes! All the resourcefulness, without the childishness.

I was going to say, the ending kind of reads two ways, if you know Wil's average D20 roll. Haha.

We need infinite more seasons of Lower Decks, so that episodes like your idea here can become reality. This would be a delight.

And it was a reliable, proven technology that apparently only got worse and more twitchy a couple of decades later.

I assume the subtext was that it was a reliable proven technology being operated, in his option, by an incompetent idiot too young to be trusted.

Which is as good an explanation as any for the other transporter scene...

It's not about consciousness, it's about continuity.

The philosophical point is that if I accept kinship with myself of yesterday and myself of tomorrow without proof - then I can learn to accept kinship with all other living things, in the same way.

There's a peace in that acceptance - if I lived my life investing equally in the future of any other life I encounter, then perhaps I will pass on from my current arrangement of atoms feeling confidence in the future rather than fear.

I'll let you know how that works for me. Or rather, I suppose I will not.
