Oh, absolutely. I feel it's one of the biggest missed opportunities in TNG.

I will say, however, that I always viewed her getting Data to play the stratagema dude was something of a turning point. At the end she's very much on team Data.

I also thought it was refreshing to see someone very imperfect and needing to work in their attitude in the series.

Usually it's Troys mum that they just let slide (or hide from), or is someone already refined.

This was one of the first proper human characters in the show that had something they could work on, and could grow into being a proper crew member.

    I've heard some companies where time is critical make extra certain by closing for any writes during the time change.

    Most places it is sufficient to stick to UTC.

    An online storefront for refilling cafeteria cards I know of are so careful they close every night...

    Has anyone gotten much use out of this?

    Like with my discovery queue and other 'things you might want to add to your wishlist', it is loaded with stuff I have zero interest in, already have in my wishlist, have actively ignored, or have filtered out it's tags. Only very occasionally is it something I've not heard about, and would not actively avoid.

    I remember reading the Norwegian satirist Are Kalvøs sequel of the Bible, and finding it very enjoyable.

    I doubt this version can top a burnt out Christ hounded by PR consultants and everyone else wanting in on the action, while he himself only wants to play in a band singing songs about the trustworthiness of Pharisees.

    To really throw you for a loop, that's what my dad uses.

    I've tried them, but they're not for me. I have something similar to a ridge, and am learning to live being unc to the younger guys.

    I swear I was a young guy just the other day. Time flies
