They could still make a Star Trek spin off with him at any time with him at any age in any place .....
Star Trek: Transport Buffer ..... starring Colm Meaney
lol ... teacher tells students to be creative .... teacher is shocked when students are very creative
If I were a teacher and I had a student like that ... I'd automatically pass their assignment and two more upcoming assignments without even reviewing their work.
... and considering the state of US politics, even if that were to actually happen, there would still be a part of me that wouldn't be surprised if she came back anyway.
I think it's always going to be about 20% of the population (I'm guessing but I also don't think its a high percentage) that will always be tech literate ... or tech capable.
Everyone is skilled in some areas more than others. And the general population will always be like that no matter the era, generation or geography or capability or access.
I grew up poor in northern Ontario in Canada in an Indigenous community. I really have no real training to speak of, nor do I have any post secondary education ... I have high school but never had the opportunity to go further than that. But I have a good brain (at least I think I do) ... I learned about computer tech on my own - first learning how to use Windows, installing uninstalling stuff, then fixing updating, repairing and maintaining systems ... then drifted into the software cracking, windows cracking stuff ... then over to patching, fixing and maintaining hardware to just keep everything working ... I'm not wealthy, so I always had to figure stuff out on my own. Then once private software became too difficult, I went over to open source software with Linux and freeware and now build and repair and maintain my own systems and fix stuff for other people.
All the while, the majority of everyone else I knew never learned to do these things. I few of my friends are like me and did stuff on their own but not many (which is why I say 20%) .. the majority of everyone else just shell out money they don't have to buy $1,000 phones and $2,000 laptops to fix their problems.
It's a good thing they didn't call it oand if the person who invented the world decided to use ocean instead of sea.
Apt metaphor .... the casino is now being run by a compulsive gambler surrounded by fellow gamblers who all think they're going to win even more money by gambling all the casino money away.
Stop teasing us America .... we know what bat shit crazy politics you're capable of.
I won't believe she's out of politics until I see her out of politics.
War is no longer about good or evil .... it's just a business ... resolving conflicts is not good business but perpetual war is, no matter the reason.
We are a global society that enjoys profiting off killing one another
I too, like living in the transport buffer
Are they giving Isreal a deadline to complete their genocide?
By September, there won't be much of a Palestine left to recognize.

I just watched DS9 'Far Beyond The Stars' - Season 6 Episode 13
As a person of colour (I'm Indigenous Canadian) this was a very impactful, thoughtful and striking episode that really hit home on a lot of subjects they were still dealing with in 1998 when this first aired. The main story harkens back to the 1950s but much of the same issues from the mid century were still being felt in the 90s. In many ways, the messages from this show still resonate today.
We all like to think that 1950s style overt racism in the streets is a bygone thing and doesn't exist or not as prevalent any more but it is still there. I was totally amazed and blown away to watch this and to listen to the story it told. Racism may not be shouted in my face any more but I still feel it come out of the cracks of society every once in while and more often than not in social media forums and platforms where bad actors can anonymously scream and shout whatever they please.
This DS9 episode was a beautiful reminder of why I always loved Star Trek. It is through episodes like this that show us what we could be in the far distant future if we want it enough. As a kid and teenager, I always saw and understood the ideas and images of thinking that we could achieve a world in the future where colour, race, background or gender no longer mattered. I always noticed that in the Original Series and it was something I was really happy to see when I watched The Next Generation and Voyager as a teenager. I never got the chance to watch DS9 until now and after watching this episode I'm happy I did. That message of wanting a world of inclusion and openness is a really hopeful message I've always loved in Star Trek.
The bonus was in seeing all the actors, the main cast, and some of the supporting characters appear as they are in real life was amazing as well.
That simple message really resonated with me .... 'You are the dreamer ... and the dream'. We can all imagine a future where we can all be at our best and if we work hard enough towards it, we can be part of that dream. It's a small thing but in many ways, I'm happy to have this small community at c/tenforward with you ... I've always dreamt of enjoying Star Trek and now I feel that I am part of this digital dream with you all.
In everything else, I will never stop dreaming of a better future, no matter what may happen in the world ... I will always hope that we can all become part of that dream.
If you haven't seen the series yet, I would highly recommend it just to be able to see everything lead up to this episode. It is a definite highlight that will stick with me for a long time.
Just finished watching DS9 Season 6 Episode 10 'The Magnificent Ferengi' ..... and totally fun watch complete with the worst Ferengi in the series and a great cameo by Iggy.
One of my favourite from the series out of so many favourites so far. What a great and fun watch.

It's freezing rain, thawing, freezing on the highway in northern Ontario ... stay at home!
(lemmy.ca)
The highways are literal ice, either thawing, freezing or going to become ice later tonight and people all over facebook, messenger, whatsapp, whatever are all messaging each other and me and my family asking what the highways are like today and if they can safely go out. People are dying on the highways this week all over the north. Stay at home.
The safest thing to do is just don't go on the highway when it is raining in December in northern Ontario!!!
Imagine an entire series of just long-buffered O'Brien's everywhere
