Recently I havent gotten into to much of the new Star Trek because I felt it lacked the most interesting aspect of the serious: deep philosophical considerations when it comes to morality and cultures.

I just started watch Star Trek Strange New Worlds and I have to say I am impressed. While clearly a modern take it feels like it captured the spirit of the original the other remakes lacked.... really liking this.

I just realized I havent gallivanted in a while... I need to do some gallivanting...

Its a lot of fun that I am starting a company from scratch and get to hire everyone and make all the rules... For example I am making sure that every single person I hire is comfortable with using linux and open-source tools, and writing documents in latex and markdown. Even management. It is pretty sweet!

I know I've seen Leprechaun 4: in space before... but strangly I cant remember anything about it... May be time for a rewatch.

I always find it idiotic when people argue "Democrats are right wing by european standards"... lol there is no relative standard for center, it is an absolute... what they should say is "democrats are farther right compared to the average in europe". But to suggests they are right of center has little basis in reality. Their policies may not be as extreme left as politicians in europe, but they very clearly are left of neutral/center

Over the years I have had hundreds of left-wing people block me for sincerely asking for the facts in a situation, a situation I agree with them on... I cant recall a right-winger ever doing that (not that they dont have a ton of other issues).

As someone who has and still does lean left I have to say every day i become more and more ashamed of the way "my side" behaves... its depressing to see.

Pro tip: If you have a cheaper desk made of pressure treated wood, and it gets hold and starts to get spots where the laminate is gone exposing the wood then you probably already know once that happens it gets wors real quick as just rubbing against it will flake off shards o wood till your desk distinigrates.

If when the patches form you takes some super clue and create a coating it works REALLY well. On the one hand it water proofs it which if water gets in it will ruin things a lot. and it stops it from flaking off.

I need to get a new desk but its a big project and so far this has worked great to keep my 25 year old desk alive.

If you want a smooth surface do it in two steps.. the first time the super glue absorbs so when it drys it creates a nice barrier but looks like youdidnt do anything. The second coat will not soak into the wood so you can then fill the hole, let it dry and sand it. this can give youa glossy smooth coat if you want to take it a step further.

I cant decide if the reasons there are so few homeless women compared to men is because men are sexual predators and take advantage of women in that situation and "help" in exchange for sex. Or if the world just cares more about the safety of women than men.... I am leaning more towards the former thant he latter here but I suspect it is a bit of both.
