Yeah, elements heavier than iron, like uranium, only form in supernovas at the end of a star's lifespan. So, arguably still solar energy, just not our solar energy.

Isn't wind caused by a combination of heat from the sun and the spinning of the planet? I think we'd have to cover a bonkers amount land with turbines before we saw an appreciable increase in stagnant air.

I miss the behind the scenes footage

I mean, there's no reason it can't be bundled with shows on the streaming platforms, but they just don't

Have yet to see anything outside of DS9 use Section 31 well. It's inclusion manages to turn what's supposed to be a hopeful story of the future into just another police procedural that happens to use Star Trek™ branded props

to say nothing of Star Trek IV

"Double dumbass on you!"

...what. They're everyone's largest trading partner, why would they do that?

Personally, it seems more likely to me that he never expected to get away with it for as long as he did, didn't really have a plan beyond getting out of NYC, and went to that McDonald's to get caught.

Maybe I'm wrong, that's completely possible. But... I dunno... a lot of eyes are on this case. It would be very very dumb of the cops to manufacture a suspect with all the attention on this. Maybe they are that dumb...

I can't say I disagree. The tendency to outright dismiss christianity online is understandable, but a little frustrating. Even with that horrifying core, a lot of people find solace in it. For many, it's the only semblence of community that's lasted into the 21st century.

On another level, it's just plain interesting the sorts of stories people felt needed to be preserved. It speaks to how they lived and what they valued. A lot has changed, and a lot hasn't. That kind of narrative window into the past is valuable, and I'm glad I grew up with it, even if I don't consider myself Christian anymore.

McDonalds canned their automated ordering experiment, and that was across 100 stores and lasted several years.

I am not convinced this replaces labor. Like any advancement in hardware or software, it can expand the efficiency of labor. But you still need people to do work. People who own things for a living would really really like that not to be the case - their interest in this is not rational decision-making, but deluded optimism.

that's how you teach them to highlight and copy/paste text

It's interesting that that relationship changes, isn't it? Like, early on God is the sort of deity to turn you into salt or flood the world if He's displeased. And over time, He does that sort of spiteful intervention less and less. It's hard not to see it as Him getting wiser and more compassionate. But... if He's all powerful and all knowing to begin with, why does His approach to people change?
