You have to soak them in the soda then suck out the flavor like a popsicle stick.

Naw. It was originally written for Kirk and Uhura, but when the NBC executives found out they were worried it would offend TV stations in the south. The idea of having Uhura and Spock kiss was brought up because Spock is half-vulcan (which NBC thought racists would find less offensive???), but Shatner insisted that they stick the original script (perhaps out of ego, perhaps out of artistic integrity, who knows). Eventually NBC ordered that two versions of the scene be shot - one with the kiss and one without. Shatner intentionally flubbed every single take of the non-kiss version to force the executives' hands. It wasn't the first interracial kiss on televion, but it was the first instance of a scripted kiss between a white man and a black woman.

The Star Trek universe’s first non-binary character

wow, not even the first crew members or first actors, they tried to claim it for the whole Star Trek universe. unbelievable. I think Dax would like to have a word with them.

In short, LXDE was the measured as the fastest desktop environment for gaming, while XFCE with compositor disabled came in second fastest out of the ones tested. If you need the maximum performance XFCE may be a good compromise between looks vs performance. You can use the “Disable desktop effects” option in Lutris which may reduce the overhead of the desktop environment further.

any idea how this would compare to starting steam directly from a display manager using gamescope as the compositor?

That's right, the entire species had evolved past having gender. That makes it even sadder/funnier that ST:D tried to claim it.

Jokes aside, I love that he kept the little mini-hologram of Tasha in his quarters after her funeral.

I don't play STO anymore but I love that they added the Surak-class. Such a pretty ship!
