See, Disco had it right. Doctors wore white, compared to the navy blue uniforms of all the other divisions, including Sciences. Presumably during the war someone decided that your medic being conspicuously covered in blood gave a bad impression, that was downgraded to nurses (SNW Chapel) and the doctors wore blue (although the slightly lighter shade than science divison). Then later, nurses got blue as well (TOS Chapel). Or was Chapel a full MD by then? Not sure about that.

I'm in two minds about that. One the one hand, yes, of course - as all the original COBOL folks die off, the skills will be even rarer and thus worth more.

On the other hand, if we keep propping up old shit, the businesses will keep relying on it and it'll be even more painful when they do eventually get forced to migrate off it.

On the other other hand, we know it works, and we don't want to migrate everything into a series of Electron apps just because that's popular at the moment.

Yeah. I’ll wait for a couple thousand successful and safe subjects before I consider it. Then another few thousand before I sign up.

All of this, but from a company not run by Phoney Stark as well.

Hah. To swap eSIM on O2 in the UK, you have to order a physical pack that gets posted to you with the QR code in. There is no way to get the code to appear on a screen you can scan with your camera, or in an app on the phone you can transfer to the phone's eSIM manager. It's so dumb.

Yes. The answer to this isn't to restrict what the NSA can do, the answer is to stop people's privacy being a legally tradable commodity.

If we cap overdraft fees, how will banks make up the lost revenue?

Get in the fucking sea.

I did not warp her, I did not.

Oh hey Tuvok…

If you take sexual advantage of that girl, you will go to a special hell, reserved for child molesters, and people who talk at the theatre...

I told myself I liked SGU. Then I rewatched it a few years ago. It didn’t age well. Eli is basically the only likeable character. Why do I care what happened to Rush or the others? They were all assholes. I doubt I’ll give it another go, even though I’ll rewatch SG-1 and Atlantis eventually. A shame. It had good ideas, and the looks back at what was going on on Earth were cool, but you have to like (or love to hate) the characters to make a TV show work. I didn’t enjoy Rush or Young as antagonists, they were just dicks.

I mean, if we can’t be a properly grown up functioning member of the international community any more, we should at least be a cautionary tale…

Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression...

I'm dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford's likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?

Cautiously optimistic.
