I haven’t noticed this happening with other instances, but it is getting better, now the delay is just 2 days.

I’m happy to hear that you’ve been assimilated, too. I’m a bit ahead of you as I’ve also finished DS9. Just started TOS, but that one is a little rough… 😅

No idea why I’m notified about your replies with 4 days delay.

Idk why, but I only got a notification about this today, even though the comment is 5d old.
Anyway, you’re right, I meant “closed” in a sense of “they eat each other’s poo”. It’s also possible the difference in calories is made up some extra stuff, with like photosynthesis or whatever.

Nice!
Incidentally, that logo color matches perfectly with the color theme (Arc Boost) I’ve been using for the website:

The Doctor, with his mobile emitter, disagrees.

LaForge is occasionally kinda creepy…

Do you mean that the app should render them in a special way? My Voyager isn’t doing anything.

Never used Prime, so can’t comment.

Hmm, didn’t know that one was exclusive to Netflix. It’s not a universal thing or a rule, cause San Andreas Definitive Edition, for example, is available for purchase for $20. Probably depends on what the game publisher agreed to.

I think you’re looking at it the wrong way. It’s just an extra that you have for “free”, not a dedicated gaming subscription. I also live in Europe and my Netflix is cheap, so I will have the subscription by default (cause a lot of people in my family watch it), which means I get to try the games for free. You can always just go buy them if you want, from the store.

To be fair, I have already failed to properly recycle an item or two, as well.

Yeah, should be 0.(6).

That can’t be it, cause then that’s all 4/4 horsemen of 3/4 present.

Why is everybody posting my cat today?!

For comparison:

The only reason I know that this is not my cat is because mine has a birthmark on the tip of the nose. And whiter belly.

Where did I say “government does stuff”? If a service is provided not for profit, funded by the community and is otherwise not privately owned, it’s socialist. It needs to be for-profit and/or privately owned to be capitalist.

Arguably, The US does have several socialist policies, albeit implemented very badly. For instance, public education. Does capitalism stick its grubby fingers into it from every possible angle? Yes. But at its core it has collective funding through taxes (therefore owned/controlled by the state), universal access, and the prioritization of public welfare over profit (at least on paper). Those principles are strictly socialist and not capitalist.

It’s not about strictly “owning”, it’s about controlling. Control can be achieved in many different ways, including, but not limited to regulations. Socialism is an economic system, of which you can implements certain parts.
I didn’t say “social policies”. Socialist policies are a more specific subset of social policies, so all socialist policies are social policies, but not all social policies are socialist.
Regarding the European countries’ degree of being socialist, it of course depends on the country. But on average, you might be right, and perhaps using “equally” was an exaggeration.
