  • I was using a 2012 “vintage” minitower PC that originally came with Win7 as a crappy little plex/local FTP/Minecraft server, and I had been wanting to try MacOS after not seeing it for a while, so I got a Mac Mini with an M2 in it, and while I’ve hardly stressed it, it seems really nice. It’s small and completely silent, and if I did want to use it more, Apple has certainly tried to keep their walled garden pretty and well-organized.




  • It’s funny… In some ways, I think he adored the stories they were telling, and particularly the potential the characters and the setting held, but he really seemed to dislike the production environment and many of the specific decisions that were made. He is an artist with a very specific voice (lol, literally even) and mindset that was maybe poorly suited to making Star Trek his “thing.”

    God though, can you imagine if the brooding-to-manic Sisko acting roller coaster had become iconic in the broader culture like Shatner’s staccato shouting and dramatic pauses?

    Sweet tea, at least proper sweet tea, isn’t really about the tea. The tea is just there to add some color and a subtle note to make it caramel water instead of sugar water. It’s pure diabeetus juice, but it knows what it is. Like many methodical killers, it has a clarity of purpose that can be acknowledged and respected.

    The real question is why are you punishing yourself by drinking unsweetened iced tea? That’s just cold dishwater that no one respects.


  • Some highlights:

    “They seek nothing more than some modicum of due process and the rule of law,” wrote Biery.

    He said the case of Conejo Arias and his son “has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children."

    “Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.”
