The lunch arrangements will vary greatly by age/grade level. A high school is more likely to have the canteen style while an elementary school is more likely to have the cafeteria style. In either case, bringing a lunch from home is also reasonably common.

And TNG did break its own rules with Moriarty.

My headcanon is that Dr. Zimmerman and Lt. Barclay used the Moriarty program to discover how to make sentient holograms, and that's why sentient holograms started showing up everywhere.

No matter how well you understand the passage of time in the abstract it's a shock the first time you meet a full grown adult, with their own keys and everything, but you can remember what you were doing in the year they were born.

Or just watch DS9.

I don't think you understand what "mass murder" means.

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 1 points 1 week ago

But that’s not what it means to the public

I know that. That's why I'm saying something.

Maybe Sean Spicer will take the job back? Someone check the bushes.

It seems like you're advocating mass murder.

 

I don't like fixing my own flat tires. I can do it but not quickly or efficiently; it's not something I can do on the side of the road under duress. I should probably work on that, I know, but in the meantime I take my bike to a local shop and have them do it for me.

But my ebike is pretty heavy, which means a flat tire is basically immobilizing. I've had to call a friend or hire a truck when I get a flat. I'm wondering if there's anything like an auto club for cyclists. Maybe even a service that would fix my flat right there on the spot.

I googled, but don't trust the search results. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

Took a wrong turn yesterday and didn't realize it for quite a while. Stopped here to get my bearings.

 

Encountered these big boys while exploring a local bike trail. The photo doesn't do them justice.

 

Attended the 40th anniversary screening of The Voyage Home in San Francisco tonight.

Nick Meyer was there to answer questions, and was honored by the City of San Francisco with a mayor's certificate for his movies featuring San Francisco.

I cleaned out the junk drawer and found a bunch of Starbucks gift cards that I've received for various reasons over the past 15 years. I used one from 2015 today and the barista was mildly surprised and asked where I got such an old-style card. So I told him about the junk drawer.

 

This is the one at MedTek, not the one in Nuka World that always works. Only took 2,555.6 hours of playtime over 11 years.
