She's a pretty generic Hollywood blonde, so that tracks.

I put "Lower Decks" into its own category. If I was to have to slot it in with the rest then it would be between SNW and DS9. TOS would come after DS9. So... TOS > SNW > DS9 > STTAS > LD > TNG > Voy > Ent > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Disco ST: Ent was a wasted opportunity. They went into that stupid...

I would put it above Next Gen. "Orville" was the best (off-brand) Trek in years, until "Strange New Worlds" came along. Now it's close but I give SNW the nod there, if only because it's actual branded Trek. There was also S1.E8, "The Elysian Kingdom", when it comes to silly stuff. Seems like...

I would say that, overall, "Strange New Worlds" is the best Trek since TOS.

I would say that Gunn has much more of a grasp on who Superman is than Snyder ever could, on his best day. As a film buff friend of mine put it Superman is a sun God and Batman is a Night God. The lighting of a Snyder film just doesn't work for Superman. The tone is way off, in general. In...

Stating lack of remorse is what did him in.

I just broke the seal on the BluRay of "Superman" that I received this week. I ordered as soon as the pre-order was available. Somewhat ironically a friend in the US, who ordered at the same time I did, received notification that his order was delayed. Something about tariffs. Who'da thought?

Oddly enough, ownership of automatic weapons was legal in Canada, without even the need to register them, until 1951. They didn't even become prohibited weapons until 1977, when laws were radically changed after the Brampton Centennial Secondary School shootings. Sitting in the soccer field of...

Get the police involved and it goes right back to you. The pawn shops around the university learned that they shouldn't be accepting stolen computers, rather quickly.

Here's a real winner. Banned x9. https://www.peelpolice.ca//modules/news/index.aspx?newsId=d650bc33-ebed-4be8-a82d-57d43f4a2f6d&utm_source=social&utm_medium=combined&utm_campaign=newsrelease

Yup. Role playing games turned it into some sort of uber-gun, in the same way that they always over estimate the katana as a sword (European swords, of the same vintage, were made with superior steel). Funny thing is that in Canada, until the ban on new purchases of pistols, I could buy...

Things developed pretty rapidly from caplocks, to cartridge firearms but as usually happens with such developments, stuff tends to get used long after better tech is available. During the civil war they also had paper cartridges, that were powder and a proper tapered bullet wrapped in paper, to...

You should be able to make out more in this pic.

The powder flask has a thumb lever, that opens a valve to deliver the powder. The spout is sized to hold 24 grains of powder so you put a finger over the opening of the spout, thumb the valve open and then release the lever to close it. That gives you a measured 24 grains of powder to pour into...

As counterpoint, I loved the movie and subsequent TV series that it spawned.

Done.

Lack of process to handle mental health issues.

Far too often a surety doesn't take their responsibility seriously, likely because the penalties have been so rarely applied. The breach must have been ridiculously obvious.

The reduced lanes on The Gardiner are currently a limit of 70 Kmh (though I question the legality of the signage) and I doubt anyone is doing less than 100 through there.

And on to the final piece.
