Probably when Tasha asks Data if he’s fully functional.


I was an engineer. I worked with four different companies, but the work was substantially the same, working in front of a computer.


For me, it was my hips. I really do think sitting for long periods in front of a computer is really bad for your health. Good luck to you. Get lots of exercise and take as many breaks as you can get away with.


I’m already waiting for my interview. But it’s more than that. It’s having to go through it at all. It’s their treatment of people. It’s the super spreader event that is an aircraft and an airport. It’s the treatment of people by the airlines and the whole schedule thing. It’s dealing with other passengers. I live in Florida, yup the crazy one. In the last four flights I’ve taken it took 20 hours to get home from Canada, 36 hours to get home from Tennessee and 15 hours to get home from Colorado. I mean WTF!

I took a private airplane once and I parked for free at Signature services, walked into a, large mostly empty lobby area with free cookies and got on the plane. When I got back, the crew, and I swear I’m not making it up, actually brought out a red carpet. It was ridiculously short, like 2 feet, with a ridiculously short velvet rope to match it. I walked through the same lobby, grabbed a cookie and hopped in my car and went home. That was it. Friggin fantastic. I do admit this was prior to 9/11. Since I’m not privy to such treatment normally I’ve never taken another private flight so I don’t know how much has changed. But THAT’S the way to travel… unless the OP meant something like a teleporter instead.

Also I’m not sure it’s borderline extortion. Feels like flat out extortion, but I see your point.


Don’t fret about it. It only lasts another 40 years or so.


Private Jet. Not because I want to live like a billionaire but because I friggin hate going through TSA and lately every time I travel the airlines seem to have little value-add over just driving.



Such a good movie. Think I’ll watch it again when I get home.



LOL. “Let’s get out of here before one of those things gets Guy.” Cracks me up every time.


This is typical fascism. Was Hitler a member of the Aryan race? Blue eyed, blond hair? Nope. Dude wasn’t even German. Were any of his cadre? Nope.

Kim Jong Un reportedly doesn’t need to use the bathroom because he is so perfect.

Trump is cracking down on illegal immigrants. Married an illegal immigrant. He’s against chain migration. Melania chain migrated her family. Calls Biden sleepy Joe, then falls asleep during his trial. Says voting by mail is rampant with fraud. Votes by mail. None of this makes any sense!


Yes but isn’t Italy part of the EU? Once he’s in, it is easier to move to a different more liberal country member of the Union.


It’s not enough to put him on my favorable list. Have you used Microsoft lately?



But if you go by net worth Elon alone has like 350-400 billion. Zuckerberg, Buffet, Gates all have many billions. I see where you’re coming from but they could really help society, like curing hunger levels of help and the worst part is… They’d still be filthy rich. So as far as quality of life, it wouldn’t even cost them anything.


I’ve seen so many TV shows, movies, even commercials where a clone or future self doesn’t get along with his twin. I don’t understand this. I think I’d get along swimmingly with myself. I mean what’s better than spending time with someone who thinks like you do?



Was at the house of a relative of a friend. When the phone rang he asked me to answer it. Suddenly realizing I didn’t know the name of the home owner and lacking anything beyond “hello”, I simply said, “Massachusetts.”
