Ugh, man… this canned wassail is kinda skunky.

It’s common for terrible acts to go unpunished. There are lots of movies and shows where the bad guy wins. Many where you can’t even tell who the bad guy is. But they’re still good stories.

That's kind of my point though, the show failed to make any statement about it, including this one. In fact, what you say here would have been an exceptional statement to make, especially considering the post-9/11 backdrop of this season's arc. Instead they were just like, "ANYWAY, time for some timetravel shenanigans" or whatever the next season was doing, I don't recall. That absence of comment is the failure the show makes is what I'm really saying.

I think the character decisions were motivated, intentionally difficult to wrestle with and especially relevant for the time it was made. I think what makes the show unforgivable for it however, is the complete lack of consequences for those transgressions.

And before someone brings up DS9 and In the Pale Moonlight, I would point out that that entire episode was doing the work of questioning and condemning decisions just like this. It's what ENT was missing.

I’m very happy that he seems to have his own stocking. 😊

I like coffee Janeway memes the best.

Unlike Grok, I am utterly speechless…

Have detailed descriptions for others how to retrieve your data in case something happens.

Lots of great advice here but this stands out as a really good bit that a lot of people (including myself) need to consider.

Anyone know what the reaction screenshot is from?

So I went to look up the origin of the image in this macro and it turns out that almost this exact meme (unplayed Steam games) was like the first iteration of it in meme form, appearing only a hour after the original photo was posted to Reddit.

I was really enjoying wallabag for a while, but after an update (or something?) the container no longer connects to the db and I haven’t been smart enough to figure out why yet.

BUT when it works it’s got a nice interface and the Firefox extension clips articles quickly. Biggest downside I’ve run into is the iOS app can’t make highlights or annotations, and it sometimes randomly reloads an article while reading and ‘forgets’ its place.
