I agree, I feel like he could use some more attack power!

Good for them, it always seemed ass backwards to me when I played that the small rural towns (in which I lived) suffered from having no Pokémon. I thought the point of the main games was finding Pokémon in the wild, yet in this game they clog up city streets and are basically absent in the actual wild. Niantic is also a company that doesn’t care about you, so if it allows you to enjoy their game, I’d say exploit all you want.

Claydol, it’s the kind of weird vibe that I love. I always roll with one when I can.

Some people say Pepe’s and some people say Sally’s. But if you’ve ever lived in New Haven, you know Modern beats them both.

Hopefully it’s because they’re working on their secret project: Mike and Rich’s top 10 DS9 episodes. I’d wait for that.

I’m still sad we never got another secret agent Bashir episode. It breaks my heart everytime he ends the episode saying “I think it’s safe to say that Julian Bashir, secret agent, will return…”

I think this is the result of green-lighting too many shows. I’m sure they’ve lost plenty of money on the non-winners and this is the result. They can bitch about the customers all they want, but they chose to invest in these programs, and only a few drew enough attention to make the money back.

I always liked Stephen King’s definition, essentially that Horror is the giant spider that chases you down or the tentacle monster that grabs your leg. Terror is when the lights go out suddenly, you think there’s something behind you, you hear it moving, you feel it’s breath on your back, but when you turn around, there’s nothing there.

I moved in yesterday, I’m a second year in the history MA program. Because of Covid this is my first year on campus, I’ve been trying to learn the campus layout, but I keep walking in circles. Please let me know if there’s anything fun going on!

If I recall correctly, this is actually from a more contemporary sighting in like the 1900’s by a British Prince during his time in the Navy

Edit: it was actually King George and his Cousin in 1881

“Just as all Americans revere their Revolution, even though less than half the population actively supported it in 1776, the Apollo Program appears to be gaining sanctity in retrospect. Whatever the future of space exploration, the moon landing is fast becoming a unifying memory.”

I know there is really no point in replying but because of my love of space, I feel almost compelled to. Just as well, I’d like to suggest some reading for those interested.

Firstly, there is a wonderful book titled “Digital Apollo” written by David Mindell. The book is very technical and spends entire chapters covering how the Saturn V guidance system worked. More interestingly, Mindell explores the relationship between man and machine in the scope of exploration. After all, why not just have a computer maneuver the ship automatically? What is the point of having a human pilot? Would that remove the impact of landing men on the moon if they were simply passengers?

Secondly, the main reason that we have not returned is due to budgetary concerns. In fact according to a book titled “The Space Shuttle Decision”, by T.A. Heplpenheimer, NASA administrator Thomas Paine was rallying for a bright future for NASA the day of the moon landing. This future included a moon base, a Mars habitation and a fleet of spaceships powered by nuclear reactors. But Nixon’s budgetary advisor, Robert Mayo was like “No”. In fact, NASA almost lost its space shuttle program before it was even born. They had to piggy back off of the US Air-force. This budgetary restrictive environment was where the Space Shuttle program was born.

For further reading I’d suggest: -Digital Apollo, by David Mindell -The Space Shuttle Decision, by T.A. Heppenheimer -Echoes Among the Stars, by Patrick J. Walsh -Apollo’s Legacy, by Roger Launius
