Yeah, you can pretty much assume that any random Wi-Fi asking for that information is already doing that. My local mall has one that will accept any old email but it certainly looks like this one wants you to create an actual Walmart account.

Yeah thinking about it more, you're definitely right. I've only ever been a W-2 employee (United States) so I know nothing about this kind of thing. If they are employees of another company, they should bargain with them instead, and force them (via strike if required) to negotiate a new contract with Google. I'm very pro worker and support striking to get results but you have to make sure you're targeting the right business to get the results you want.
Yeah I'd certainly like to know as well
I work for an MSP and I often multiply my time estimates by a factor of four.... Does that count?
I work in tech and say that a lot. It would hit different in medicine.
I've been enjoying it, though I can't say it's my favorite Trek iteration. I'm here for the bevy of queer representation, and so is my partner. Some of the conceits are a little weird. In particular I really thought The Burn had a potential to be more interesting. Clearly Su'kal has some of the same mental influence over subspace that Wesley and The Traveler are shown to but his unbridled, unfocused grief caused a catastrophe of galactic, and possibly universal, proportions but we don't get that angle. Species 10C's arc also gets rushed and it's very unclear how we're going to get to the state where Discovery is floating in that nebula in Short Treks. I think 5 seasons is a good run and I am always looking forward to new Star Trek. I'll definitely be watching the final season as it comes out.
I'm gonna have to grab that later and play the hell out of it! Thanks!
JK and MotS were two of my all time favorite games growing up. My dad and I even ran a crossover Ethernet cable between our computers to play multiplayer matches
Actually this looks like another channel entirely. I'll have to add it to my list. The short I remember watching had a very TOS type plot where some kind of radiation or energy caused the crew to become obsessed with the object in their own way. The tactical officer wanted to shoot it, the science officer wanted to study it, etc. It was hokey but still pretty neat. The effects were low budget 90s TV movie quality but had a charm about them.
I stumbled into a whole YouTube channel full of fan shorts from various groups but I can't remember the name anymore to find it again. Thought it might be starbase something or other but I can't find it again.
That's really my point as well. The modern updates of ships are because our expectations have definitely shifted. I feel like disparate design languages of the shows don't necessarily have to detract from the shared universe. Though, don't get me wrong, Star Trek is many things but one thing it isn't, and has never purported to be, is a documentary. By that I mean that the set dressing, the costumes, our "presence" as the audience, everything about the way the shows are produced tells me we're watching a dramatization of the "real" events. Contrast that with something like the 2000s era Battlestar Galactica which had a lot of elements in its filming that were designed to make it feel more like a documentary and we, the audience, were watching footage captured of "real" events.
I'm utterly unsurprised. The man is incapable of keeping his big mouth shut.
