Joe Satriani's Crowd Chant was originally going to be called Party on the Enterprise and would have included Trek sound effect samples, but he couldn't get the licensing to work.

"Pissing in the soup" doesn't really work here unless you're adulterating the software with something malicious.

Assuming a ~20% shift towards pro-choice opinions I would expect more pro-choice laws, not an orgy of casual abortions.

What kind of pet shop is filled with rambunctious yahoos and hot jazz music at 1am?

Polling suggests that around 70% of women and 50% of men support abortion, though. If those stats simply reversed then nothing really changes.

The more recent report says corporate AI adoption has found several issues with AI, with human workers turning to automating dreary and mundane tasks they don't like doing, rather than valuable or meaningful work.

First of all, no shit. Second of all, wasn't that the point?

The urgency in The Measure of a Man makes no sense. The judge should simply pause the transfer order while the question of Data's personhood is resolved, if necessary by a higher court months or years later.

Independence Day was peak 1990's Americana.

I think we can call this a canon fact about Betazoids considering the events of Ménage à Troi.

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.

The tame tank would randomly appear in lieu of a regular tank. This tank is not aggro to the survivors unless they shoot him first.

He does still charge toward the survivors, but only because he's so pleased to see them. This unfortunately is indistinguishable from regular aggro tank behavior, making it hard for survivors to know.

If he manages to get close to the survivors without being aggro'd then he'll just stand there chilling with his new friends, roaring in happiness.

In cases where two tanks spawn and one is tame, tame tank will attack aggro tank to protect the survivors. Insert confused aggro tank noises here.

If the survivors manage not to aggro the tame-tank and the escape vehicle arrives, they take the tank with them and name him Keith.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

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.

I've been listening to X-Minus-One episodes for the last few days and am really starting to appreciate the radio play format. Some of the stories are pretty dated, being from the 40's and 50's, but a lot of them still hold up if you're a little forgiving on the science details.

Wife trouble (startrek.website)

A man wakes up with a hangover after a night of drinking. He doesn't even remember how he got home, and is worried that his wife will be mad.

The first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose.

He sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all cleaned and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house.

He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick: "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling!"

He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper.

His 16 year old son is also at the table, eating. He asks, "Son, what happened last night?"

"Well, you came home after 3AM, drunk out of your mind. You fell over the coffee table and broke it, and then you puked in the hallway, and got that black eye when you ran into the door."

Confused, he asked his son, "So, why is everything in such perfect order and so clean? I have a rose, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"

His son replies, "Oh THAT... Mom dragged you to the bedroom, and when she tried to take your pants off, you screamed, 'Leave me alone, lady, I'm a married man!'"
