The reality is that billions are poured into developing faster computers and change is happening gradually, because low-hanging fruits are gathered even before they are ripe.
Half time - and I'm at 26 books! (It's a big thing for me, I haven't been able to read much in the recent years.)
Some first statistics: books from 9 countries + one collection from Scandinavia in general; 11 books by women, 12 books by men, 2 books by f+m pairs, one mix anthology; 10 books in German, 16 in English; 9 books rated 4.5 or 5 out of 5, 14 books marked as recommendations; 6x non-fiction, 1x book outside of such categorization (free verse poetry as topical biography?).
@vicgrinberg great job! I'm only at 18. I'll have to do more analysis later but the main takeaway this year is the paucity of great reads. I've struggled. Only one 5 ⭐️ book (Prequel by Maddow). 7 nonfiction, 11 fiction. 8 by women, 10 by men. Wish I knew another language but at least one was translated. 9 audiobooks, 9 dead tree books.
I’ve never been thrilled with Lwaxana episodes. It’s not Majel. She does fine with what she is given. I just wish the writers hadn’t gone back to the well so often with Troi’s mom looking for a husband. #startrek#allstartrek#ds9
@mimarek1 Agreed, although the scenes in the turbolift were well-done, going from flirting to deeper stuff as Odo progressively lets his guard (and shape) down. @allstartrek#AllStarTrek
@socprof@allstartrek Yes - chapter development for Odo and a bit for Lwaxana. The later Lwaxana episodes are usually better in this way than the earlier ones. She has vulnerabilities that she struggles to hide.
