Gen X graphic designer here. I did not properly learn how to type on a QWERTY keyboard, but have been exposed to it for many years so I know how to type on it. Hasn't ever been a problem not typing fast.

I hope Nintendon't

Remember that tagline from the 90s? "She's does what Nintendon't"?!

I can't remember what they were doing, maybe allowing blood in Street Fighter 2 and Kortal Kombat but by MK2 Nintendo changed their mind

The writeup on Section 31 is very good and was following along until you listed almost every couple on DS9 being in toxic relationships. Maybe you're confusing relationship conflicts with toxicity? Maybe I don't know what toxic means.

I'm pretty good at seeing different sides of an arguement, but you'll have to do a lot more convincing on Kira/Odo, Jadzia/Sorf, Sisko/Jennifer/Kassidy being in toxic relationships. These relationships work for me because they are trying to overcome cultural and professional challenges. One character might not budge on something but overall they try to work things out.

I feel the same way. The writers do such a good job integrating ST lore that it just really displays their knowledge and respect for the universe.

Off the top of my head:

  • random references to made up Star Trek words and concepts, like Ponfarr and Chadeetch (I'm not looking these words up)
  • getting to revisit 1 off species. Everyone loves the metaphor aliens (TEMBA ARMS WIDE OPEN) so it's fun to bring them back and poke fun. It's basically the Airplane scene ("Excuse me miss, I speak jive.")
  • Characters are very aware of various ways to die as red shirt

It's a fun show

Has Sonoma broken anyone's apps or workflows?

Cybersecurity mainly for their customers. I guess the data they gather can show trends. Fuckin' gov-sponsored hackers, man.

The only odd thing I see here is that Jari has been with his partner for 10 years and has never been to China to visit her parents.

The rest seems normal. Parents visiting. Again I ask, what are we missing here? Something about the retired parents??

That's unfortunate to be denied a job because of your spouse's former nationality. There has to be more to this story, right??
