The Grand Nagus sexually assaulting women, especially Kira, is never actually fully addressed.
Yeah, that was a weird one. In DS9’s pilot Quark touches Kira and she threatens him (“if you don’t take your hands off my hips you’ll never be able to touch anything with them again” or something like that) but when the Nagus does it in season 2 it’s played for comedic effect. That irked me too when I rewatched the episode recently.
I think my problem with wesley is that he got such a preferential seat on the bridge of a massive ship that probably countless other people had worked their whole careers to get on. It feels unfair to all those people to put a kid on the bridge instead of an adult in the middle of their career.
Wesley as a character is fine! I know Whil Wheaton had a weird interaction with the fediverse and in my hazy memory of it I don't really blame people's reactions, but in his ready room show for star trek he honestly has been great. He seems like he really loves star trek.
The one thing is, "shut up wesley!" became an internet meme, and understandably I don't think Wheaton finds that meme that funny after a couple of decades of hearing it. When the kneejerk reaction fans greet you with is to tell your character to shut up... when your character wasn't a villain... but just kind of an awkward kid who really was never characterized as anything other than someone who just wanted people to like him... it just feels like punching down for no reason.

It’s partially a testament to what a prodigy he’s supposed to be, but it’s also an artifact of Picard’s friendship with his mother and late father, and a soft character progression for both of them because up to that point no children were allowed on the bridge with him at all
Trek fans in that era got hung up on some weird stuff for sure. I knew several people who hated Neelix for basically the entire Voyager run mainly because of that one early episode where he acted jealously even though he got over it by the end of the episode lol
I'm generally a Windows user, but on the verge of doing a trial run of Fedora Silverblue (just need to find the time). It sounds like a great solution to my.. complicated... history with Linux.
I've installed Linux dozens of times going back to the 90s (LinuxPPC anyone? Yellow Dog?), and I keep going back to Windows because I tweak everything until it breaks. Then I have no idea how I got to that point, but no time to troubleshoot. Easily being able to get back to a stable system that isn't a fresh install sounds great.
I've been using the same distro for at least 4 years now and I haven't ever had any issues. Fedora on a desktop at home. It's very stable. You don't even need to know too much... although obviously knowing your way around the terminal and knowing some basic things about Linux helps
Because why? The pyramids are not a fun park or escape room, they are a piece of art. How would you feel if we’d tear Mona Lisa apart to check if there’s some older painting below the outside layer and the canvas?
Go away from streaming sites and load your media locally. Governments can’t block that. (Make sure to use a VPN and when torrenting, use qBittorrent and bind it to the Interface of your VPN)
It’s really socially acceptable and even encouraged for moms to make motherhood their whole identity. I personally hate how their own sense of self is lost and they become wrapped up in being martyr for their children. Unless you’re into that, it’s time to say goodbye, while treasuring and respectibn the good times you had with this person in the past. They’re just changed now and gone to a place where you can’t follow.
The void isn’t like a room we simply haven’t entered, it’s more like the equivalent to an empty space inside the walls of your home. It’s there, but there are no passages leading to it. About 75-80% of the interior volume of the pyramids is solid stone as far as we know so it’s much less like a modern building and more of a huge pile of stones that happens to have a few open spaces with passages leading to them.
Here’s an article that includes an illustration showing just how solid they are as well as the recently discovered void and more info on how they found it using cosmic rays of all things: science.org/…/cosmic-rays-reveal-unknown-void-gre…
There is a great YT channel called “History For Granite” that discusses the pyramids. His (and many others)posit that Zahwi Hawas, who is (or was) the director of antiquities in Egpyt, is a roadblock to many studies because they may differ with theories that he has backed. Bascially the guy has extreme bias.
There is technology that can use existing alterations that have been made to the pyramid (drilled holes) to explore the void you are speaking of… but Hawas wont allow it. He has denounced valid research as quack science, even when it has been vetted by other researchers… again due to his personal bias.
While I agree somewhat with the supposition that Egypts ancient history was plundered by the west… Hawas, from what I can tell, just basically blocks research for no real reason, other than he doesnt want it to happen.
I am sure there is more nuance to the situation than this… but this is what Ihave put together… However, I am about as far away as i can get from being a scholar on the topic.
I think the galaxy s9 was the last that had that for the galaxy seriesm. When I got my S20U I handed my s8plus? The flagship to my mum. I still miss the notification light and it’s such a shame that we can’t even use the AMOLED screen to emulate the notification light.
Not sure how old the program was OP watched but they found one void in 2017 using cosmic rays. I’m guessing the pyramids are way too solid for ultrasound or x-ray to work.
The base has a length of 230 meters on each side and the largest interior chamber measures roughly 10 x 5 x 6 meters so yeah, loads of dense solid stone there.
