The "drugs are bad" speech from Symbiosis is cringey-funny. But then you get the terrorism conversation from The High Ground that makes you expect another cringe speech, but then it gets really good and controversial, all of a sudden. TNG S3 is the season with the best writing!
I think you're right. I guess they had parents who were big on setting rules, but not on justifying them.
I'm pretty sure my parents throttled my bread intake at restaurants when I was very young for the reason you state, but they accompanied their directive with a "don't fill up before you get your main course" justification. So I didn't assimilate it as a rule of etiquette, and instead understood the underlying logic.
I like to think he never dies, he's just kept alive by a confluence of sci-fi anomalies and technobabble (some of it his own making) alternating between suffering/torment and respite where he gets to solve interesting engineering problems. In the end, he solves all remaining engineering problems, which ends the universe and replaces it with something new, different and even stranger, and he ends up being God for that new iteration.
I need a CPAP to sleep, so naps are basically impossible for me
But at a past job doing tech support at a web hosting company, where I was still new and assigned to the night shift, it was just me and another guy who was supposed to support me, and be the acting manager.
At night we'd be lucky to get more than one or two calls, and maybe a handful of live chats, so we'd mostly do tickets all night.
Well, I would. He would curl up at his desk and sleep for 7 hours, then speed through a bunch of really easy tickets (that he'd botch) in order to have respectable metrics.
There were others in a different department who knew about this, so on at least one occasion, they drew a penis on his forehead while he slept. Even though our boss saw this, the slacker wasn't fired, as he was one of the few who actively wanted the night shift.
Have all those self-driving cars passed the driving tests that human drivers are required to pass? Shouldn't that be a requirement? Like, not a simulation, but a literal test, with the examiner in the car, giving the same directions they would give to a person. And every software update would need to pass such a test.
Are canned boiled peanuts worth it? I've never had boiled peanuts (never seen them in Canada) and I'm curious, and I assume importing them canned would be easier than getting them "fresh boiled".
I hope they come back with something more optimistic and upbeat than the needlessly edgy SG:U. I get that drama and conflict are needed, but a main cast that's constantly fighting gets tiresome really quickly.
I would much rather get the Bluetooth TOS communicator replica that came out a little earlier, as a present for my dad. I wish they made more of that, instead.
