I know Shaw died in Picard, but Neelix had been dead for hours and hours before Seven's nanoprobes revived him. Who's to say she didn't inject Shaw to save him? They never actually said he was dead on screen. I'd be ok with this retcon. #StarTrekLegacy @ToddStashwick @JeriLRyan
Currently watching the Intuitive Machines video stream ahead of landing on the moon, and the number of acronyms mentioned is bordering on absurd.

I mostly like #Windows11, but I hate the 'enhancements' to Windows Explorer. Cut, Copy, Paste, Rename are now icons, so you can't access them with the keyboard anymore, and you can't turn off 'Group By' en mass. Seriously annoying, and a huge blow to power user usability.
Sending a mild pox to those who reply to an email that had five questions and only answer the first one.

Great newsletter today, Stacey.
Dear every YouTuber that uses power tools,
Please adjust your volume levels so my eardrums don't bleed when you fire up a power tool when I've had to turn the volume up to hear you talk.
Love,

You know what's going to suck? AI vs AI in the coming email spam wars. Some figure out how to bypass spam filters, others figure out how to improve those filters. Rinse, repeat, unsubscribe me now.

Just re-watched the finale of Picard. Truly some of the best television I've ever seen. The perfect send-off the TNG crew didn't get from Nemesis, some fantastic fan service, and a huge opening for continuing the story. As a lifelong Trek fan, I'm grateful. Thanks, @TerryMatalas
