Are you sure Riker doesn’t perform jizz?

I’m going to recommend what i did years ago.

Stop buying glass.

Silicon bongs never break and are easy to clean. I’ve bought two in 5 years whereas before i’d buy a new glass bong every six months or so since something would break.

Finally, The Dread Pirate Picard decided something. He said, “Shut up, Wesley, I’ve never had a valet. You can try it for tonight. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” Three years he said that. “Shut up, Wesley. Good work. Sleep well. I’ll most likely kill you in the morning.” It was a fine time for me. I was learning engineering, flight control, anything anyone would teach me. And Picard and I eventually became friends.

Yeah, I always feel like Chidi making peep chili when I think about philosophy.

According to the international phonetic alphabet they’re the same sound.

Here is the IPA for drink: dɹɪŋk

Here is the IPA for jury: d͡ʒʊɹi

Mainly it’s noticeable for spanish speakers because the spanish D is pronounced closer to the english th or is unvoiced depending on where it is in a word.

I’ve had to train my ear because I learned to speak spanish so I notice these things with my friends who are learning english.

The one that broke my mind the other day is that the D in drink is pronounced like a J. My friend was practicing his D sounds and came up with that out of the blue.

Sit close to me vs close the door

Even the second one isn’t pronounced the same. Some accents drop the th sound in clothes which is why they can sound similar.

Having to explain to my spanish speaking friends why an english word is spelled one way but pronounced another entirely different way gave me the same experience. So many times i have to tell them: “i don’t know english is just weird.”

This is correct but also glass blocks both ends of the spectrum. Really just visible light goes through glass. You get some near IR passthrough but not much.

That’s what makes it tense. One etiquette faux pas and next thing you know you’re bathing the playset in ketchup and pepto bismol.

Fuck.

Moriarty: I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains.
The Dread Pirate Jellico: You're that smart?
Moriarty: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Bashir, Noonien-Singh, Daystrom?
The Dread Pirate Jellico: Yes.
Moriarty: Morons.

Jellico’s response that he thinks up in the turbolift:

“They don’t use money on Risa you 19th century twit.”

Act 1 is a chore to get through on replay.

Good news is if you have the DLC you can skip the first act. The DLC start puts you in front of the Church in Pacifica after fighting Placide.

I like Cyberpunk a lot but replayability is shallow like you say. Sometimes I just boot it up to punch npcs though. Make a gorilla arms build and go ham. It’s pretty cathartic.

Prophets help us if Jellico discovers Moriarty’s program.

I liked it. It seemed like the first episode was all about exposition. Can’t wait to see more with what they do with the universe.

Cheap and easy for me means shepherd’s pie or pasta with sauce. Both are simple to make, cheap, and healthy. They also can freeze well so you can make a big batch on sundays for the whole week.
