It was very much a product of its time. It was alright.

Same. When my dad turned retirement age I would make absolutely sure every waiter and cashier knew he was a senior. I'd loudly ask if his senior discount had been applied. Ah, the sweetest of petty revenges.

(Karmic backlash: my kid has always been tall and strong for his age. I lost out on years worth of "kids for free" discounts. The ONE time I tried to eek him under an age limit he quite expertly shut down any shenanigans by stating his birth date, age to the day, and a proclamation that he would be ordering from the non-kid menu anyway, so it didn't matter. He had just turned 6.)

It's probably very easy to paint minis with two thumbs and five fingers per hand

Well, there's sɐxǝ┴, but it's on the other side of the globe.

As a Texas, yes.

It is, and it's a valid complaint. Go and Rust have handled it differently than Python or JavaScript, and all of them have their faults and bonuses.

It's a load bearing S.

Data was artificial and autonomous. The Dr originally wasn't autonomous, it could be argued he's just part of the ship, but the holo emitter changed that. I'm amazed the Daystrom institute let him keep it, but since it's apparently his, and that makes him autonomous, I would argue he's just like Data (minus the permanent corporeality of course). I suppose there's a question about ownership given his origins as a Starfleet asset, but since he can be replaced with a copy of the original program, there's no real material loss in letting him leave the ship.

When one must measure their money by its physical volume, me thinks that's too much money.

Ok, so, there's at least two of us.

His actions say "goatse", but his soul says "one guy one jar".
