Not just a small phone, but an ergonomically shaped phone is missing from the market. It would be great to have devices again that you can cradle in your hand and slip into a small pocket. Thin slabs are nice on a display shelf, but they aren't human-centered. Give me a phone with a curved and grippy back and a 5.x inch display.

There are a lot of instances where the Enterprise crew wanted to do the ethical thing, and Picard stops it or tries to. For example, when Dr. Crusher wanted to help when that planet population was addicted to drugs, and Picard wouldn't let her do that or communicate anything to them.

Also, Data once found humans frozen in space, and when he helped them, Picard was annoyed; it wasn't even a Prime Directive issue!

I wonder why they're doing this.

I was really looking forward to the Balmuda phone, but it also disappeared from the market https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/meet-this-unique-compact-android-phone-from-a-japanese-toaster-company/

I'd like to see a more ergonomic phone; it's time to evolve from just a thin slab.

Is a forum site a possibility? I honestly miss internet forums. It does kind of sound like what you're looking for beehaw to be.

So what is this made of if not lithium?

The one that irrationally bugged me was when Tripp told the captain that he lowered the chair by 1cm, and the chair was still too high for everyone who sat there.. I know it's not supposed to be noticable but I could tell somehow that it wasn't lowered at all

Income taxes required a constitutional amendment (the 16th) to get past the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court would veto it as unconstitutional even if passed. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2019/12/17/787476334/is-a-wealth-tax-constitutional

This is a Kendall Roy move.

Warrants are required for U.S. Mail. Likewise, the government should not have warrantless access to all electronic communication. It's an outrageous position.

The Xbox 360 remake is awesome. Sadly, it is not available for purchase or backwards compatibility, as the publisher dissolved.

Anyway, I recommend this trailer: https://youtu.be/6pDy-CSFsPs
