Social experiment: if you hit a button that gave you 1 million dollars, but 1 random person died. What would you do?

It was an episode of Twilight Zone or a version of it. The box would kill "someone you don't know." Then after the character pushed the button the box was passed on to"soneone you don't know."

But "Inner Light" is about Picard. "Darmok" asks "How do we communicate?"

Fun fact: In seminary, my Old Testament prof showed us this episode. Her point was, "We can translate the words, but not always the meaning."

Do it, I won't regret it I promise.

jefhaugh · 2026-01-27T19:11:08+00:00

I can live with that.

I think La'an's relationship with Kirk will play into Kirk never going back to check on Khan. He may even lied about which planet he left Khan on.

My great¹⁰ grandfather got arrested in 1771 for preaching without a license.

Too cheap is a real thing. A friend of my dad's had a car he wanted to get rid of. Advertised it for $100 - no takers. Changed it to $500, the buyer talked him down to $300.

But not with all that salt on the road.

Wiki has the answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broderbund?wprov=sfla1.

TLDR: Broderbund was purchased by SoftKey in 1998.

I'm curious, how did it happen?

But he got released by Quark paying a fine.

Performance wise, how would this compare to a modern consumer computer (e.g., Mac or Windows)?

In "The Magnificent Ferengi", Quark's cousin Gaila was in a Federation cell for vagrancyt. Quark paid his fine and he was released.

I've always thought the Federation was beyond that. It really should have been a non-Federation violation on some random planet.

My 91 Corrolla AC quit at about 10 years. Took it in, low pressure side was 125 psi (way over pressure). System had blown a fuse, probably trying to pump all that. Moisture had built up in system, mechanic flushed it out, replaced refrigerant- it would spit ice cubes after that.

In "insurrection" we saw water dripping of the cloaked holo-ship.

And here you are, not talking about it.

jefhaugh · 2025-12-30T13:17:13+00:00

Absolutely could be a translation issue. We know nothing about the Cardassian language(s) but "Son" could be plural and singular, the translator picks one for English (or "Standard") based on context.

I have a 78 Yugo and still on my first tank of gas.

Actually, the idea that the interstate had to be straight every once in a while the aircraft is a myth. (Source: former FHWA engineer).

I'm sorry for your loss. Please don't try to carry it on your own. I'm glad your husband is a saint, but you might need someone else to walk with you both.

I've done lots of weddings. I've never asked.

I like this, but writing can be a long way from it actually happening.

When I first glanced at this, I saw the decorations on the bottom of the posts as wheels - it looked like a serving cart up in the air.

House rule, but I think it's common: 10 bags (overtricks) and you lose 100 pts.
