Interesting. DS9 would’ve been more to your liking then. The Borg were only in the first episode as one or two scenes to set up Sisko’s character arch. After that, it’s mostly new races, and more advanced development of existing boring races (i.e. Ferringhi, Bajorians).
I have been contemplating buying a new couch for my house. It being Thanksgiving, I figured this was the best time so I could save some money. So I hopped in my car and went and bought a new couch.
I also decided this would be a good time to rearrange my living room the way I wanted it to be (for the new couch). This meant halving two builtins to accommodate my very large TV stand. My thought process was that I could remove half the builtins without having to remove them completely; I was wrong. Boy, was I wrong.
Not only am I going to have to build all new builtins, but also:
Left an inch gap between the ceiling drywall and the wall
I must’ve cracked the ceiling drywall removing a builtin, so I need to patch the ceiling (its a popcorn ceiling)
The carpet under the builtins is not the same carpet as my living room
The builtins were painted after they were installed — including the wall behind the builtins (i.e. there was no backing to the builtins)
The window on that wall is not centered in the room (in fact, I don’t think anything in that house — window, fireplace — are centered)
So yeah, I can’t help but wonder how many years it’ll be before I fix my living room.
The issue … is the interpretation of a restriction on the “no tax on tips” deduction passed as part of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act that says that tips earned for prostitution or “pornographic activity” are not eligible.
The 3rd paragraph goes on to explain:
The legislation didn’t offer much additional guidance, and the IRS has yet to issue any statements clarifying what exactly constitutes “pornographic activity,” leaving the taxing agency in a similar boat as Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart when he endeavored to define “obscenity” in the 1964 case of Jacobellis v. Ohio: “I know it when I see it.”
What if… hear me out… we pipe straight up into space, and then use a 90° bend to angle the remaining pipe to the sun. Shouldn’t Be too difficult, but I bet those plumbers would charge an expensive ass trip fee.
We’ll need a shit ton of that purple PVC glue though.
Everything beats this. Even an old leathery shoe.
