Even with that, the scariest part of the Borg originally was that they were just this undifferentiated swarm.

I hear you, too many are SUVs or “crossovers” (still “light trucks” for the purposes of scamming gov’t regulations) as well.
But I’m pretty happy with my Leaf. 🤷
Somebody is really pushing an anti-EV narrative.
SNW is so good I’d sooner toss TOS if forced to choose (which I’m not). The musical episode is vastly better than Turnabout: Intruder.
Right out of Carmageddon
When I want smaller than my ⚡🚗🍃 Leaf, I ride my ⚡🏍️ Metacycle or my ⚡🛵 niu N-GT.
The Leaf is a reasonable size, the Ioniq 6 as well I think.
Feels like a pretense to discourage protests.
Touché. Hit a nerve, I guess.
I’m pretty sure they only care about their performative solipsism.
Zero is freezing
10 is not
20 is pleasing
30 is hot
40 frying
50 dying
It’s true, but Idaho, especially the northern Idaho panhandle, is particularly bad. There’s a history of white supremacy, with the Aryan Nations compound that was located there, apparently funded in part by Sea Monkeys. Allie Brosh mentions living near them in one of her books.

True, but two copies is one, and one is none. Multiple backups are critical, especially as archive.org has been targeted by the last few book publishers, who want it gone. As politicians and news sites quietly modify their content and hope nobody notices, this should really be a service of the Library of Congress, too.
Weird that we’re still doing “heiress”, after abandoning “aviatrix”, “actress”, &c.
I did not attend the funeral, but I approved of it.
Sometimes science intersects with fiction, sometimes it intersects with politics.
The FDA is a joke. I repeatedly got food poisoning from a bag of hard boiled eggs before I figured it out. I reported it to the FDA/USDA to try and get the batch tested to keep anyone else from getting sick, and they just had me call someone that ended up being a lawyer for the store that sold the eggs, whose sole interest was to tell me I couldn’t prove anything so I shouldn’t sue.
He took a series of very shallow breaths, and then said as quickly and as quietly as he could, ‘Door, if you can hear me, say so very, very quietly.’
Very, very quietly, the door murmured, ‘I can hear you.’
‘Good. Now, in a moment, I’m going to ask you to open. When you open do not want you to say that you enjoyed it, OK?’
‘ΟΚ.’
‘And I don’t want you to say to me that I have made a simple door very happy, or that it is your pleasure to open for me and your satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done, OK?’
‘ΟΚ.’
'And do not want you to ask me to have a nice day, understand?"
‘I understand.’
‘OK,’ said Zaphod, tensing himself, ‘open now.’
The door slid open quietly. Zaphod slipped quietly through. The door closed quietly behind him.
‘Is that the way you like it, Mr Beeblebrox?’ said the door out loud.

It’s actually meditation, isn’t it?
It’s banning porn.
