Because you can game it?

To be honest: After visiting both the US and China I was way more concerned after my US visit that my phone may have been compromised.

Using a VPN was no problem for me in China, but it has been a few years since I’ve been there.

There clearly is a path (if you want to call it that way) right behind its tail. It is of course snow in front of snow so you might have to zoom in to see it.

There are several guides on what episode can / should / mustn’t be skipped.

Let’s watch Star Trek has it for every classic show: https://www.letswatchstartrek.com/tng-episode-guide/

But there are of course other guides and as they’re subjective ratings you might want to give episodes a chance even if others didn’t like them.

13 Minutes to the Moon is fantastic. Great suggestion!

If you speak German you might want to listen to Raumzeit. It’s an interview podcast with long interviews focusing on specific missions and/or institutions.

My main advice is: Don’t be afraid to skip an episode if you watch it and you don’t like it. Especially the early seasons of TNG, DS9 and Voyager have some episodes which can easily be skipped. You won’t lose any context.

I’m pretty sure pentagons are a subspecies of bestagons…

Unified state shouldn’t be much of a problem for static web hosting.

I use tt-rss in combination with FeedMe on my Android.

I can see what Jadzia liked about them…

Who said they were contacted by Starfleet? They could have known about his opportunity by any means and were just the first to take it? A normal thing for a free looting based economy…

They are hiring them to handle the disposition of unneeded tokens of currency. I don’t see how that violates the prime directive…

The outline visible on the map also doesn’t seem to fit reality. Interesting glitch - I wonder how this came into existence - maybe the ocean monument chunks were calculated the moment the map was created but nothing around it was.

That would be a horrible experience: You sign up (even if it’s just for a dollar) and then you would have to wait a month until you can play the new stuff. This way they are still giving away the single player campaign and one month of multiplayer for a fraction of the original price. If you want to buy the game it might even be cheaper to sign up and buy it with the included discount and then cancel again.

Titanfall 2: You have a titan as a companion for most of the game (there are segments where you’re on your own though). And it’s a fantastic single player campaign.

So what he’s saying is he decided not to do it. That’s all you have to know…

I believe kill is the wrong verb…

Sure, it existed. But context is necessary to understand its significance. If the context is missing or twisting accepted historic events I would say it is a bad thing.
