Looks like a bullseye to me.

You know you've been watching too much DS9 when the first thing you see is that his phaser is on the wrong side.

I don't want to think about that poor Ferengi who has to clean DS9's holodecks. Best case, cleaning is fully automated; worst case, Quark can get it done cheaper by lowballing his staff.

10/10 loafing form!

I've traveled to many corners of the planet and have a different take than most. Many people try to min/max their trip, filling up every minute of every day which doesn't appeal to me at all. I prefer a laid back, impromptu schedule to give myself time to see and do stuff I didn't plan and time to breathe and enjoy being in a new place. To me, the worst thing you can do is overplan and overschedule so you're stressed out if something happens to screw up your tight schedule.

As for selecting what to do, I usually do tons of internet and book research finding things that sound interesting. I add everything to a list and to Google Maps as saved points and then try to cluster them into days, making sure I'm not packing in too much as noted above. I'm not especially concerned if I don't get to everything--if I really enjoyed a place, odds are I'll return and put focus on different experiences.

Even though I was on Reddit for 9 years, I never frequented r/startrek until this year and saw the mod posts about starting a fresh Lemmy instance. Being a member of the Federation in the Fediverse just really appealed to my geek brain.

Somehow I've gone my entire life not knowing this monstrosity existed and is actually canon. Now I have to look for it in my current rewatch of DS9 when I get to the Dominion War.

I'm completely torn on it. It looks hideous but it makes sense as to why it exists. Like everyone else, I also thought it was too convenient that Voyager's appearance didn't change as it tried to return home, getting damaged by enemies or having bits simply wearing out and needing replacement without the luxury of Federation starbases around.

Plot twist: Charles did stumble home from the bar last night. He's just really good at hiding his secret life from you. Well, mostly.

No joke, I felt like a luddite after trying to click the "X" in the upper right of an embedded tweet to close it earlier this afternoon on my laptop.

I always forget to pick up a cat on my Target runs.

For me, it was how amazing Sync's navigation was. I found myself trying to use Sync's gestures in other apps--they're THAT intuitive and reliable. I'm honestly surprised Google or Apple haven't poached the developer to work on making the UIs of their built-in apps work more consistently.

For now wefwef is really good and does everything I need this type of app to do (mainly adjustable font sizes for my old man eyes with a minimalist interface which I prefer over the information overload that most seem to prefer, different strokes and all).
