I’m afraid I can’t remember too many episode titles off the top of my head, but you’ve definitely picked two of my favorites in How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back and The Problem with Popplers. I can’t remember the plots of your other listings, but I probably love them too.

I’d have to add on The Devil’s Hands are Idle Playthings. Magnificent episode with one of the cleverest titles I can think of.

Those still aren’t pronounced the same. The th in clothes isn’t silent.

All-out nuclear war would kill every human on the planet.

I think most people (myself included) really like the idea of DnD more than the game itself.

Consistently picking wrong is just as useful

Similar, but with my feet/ankles. She wants to be close, but isn’t a big fan of petting. I’m not always great at respecting that desire, so we compromise like this.

Same, but nvidia shield. I’ve tried pihole and pf-blocker with no success.

Relevant xkcd

I suppose it could go either way. That would be true if we see stardates as a universal system that applies anywhere and everywhere. If we instead imagine them to include encoded information about local space time, it makes sense that they might be inconsistent but always moving forward.

I am, of course, using “makes sense” extremely loosely here.

I guess when you’re traveling around faster than the speed of light, time and date stop meaning the same thing as they do back home, so it stands to reason that you couldn’t map stardates to any standard calendar.

At least, that’s my new headcanon.

Normally I’d say it would be ridiculous for a company to push legislation for such a small demographic, but since Korea has mandatory service still as far as I know, they basically get to put a Samsung in the hands of every male citizen. And they’ll most likely keep using the same brand of phone after.

I know historically “deaf and dumb” meant deaf and mute, but, at least in the classes I took in college, I was told we don’t use that terminology anymore, for hopefully obvious reasons.

Sometimes routing can be weird, and a VPN can change that. I’m not sure how they’re ever supposed to do it consistently though. I use express, and have in very rare occasions seen reduced latency while connected vs. not. I’ve never managed to make it happen on purpose, though.

Edit: I also live within spitting distance of one of the largest server hosting locations in the world, so that may factor into my experience somehow.
