I'm willing to invest in a truckload of A&W if that's what it takes.
Absolutely. If Linux was pre installed that's what people would use. Its the switching to Linux from something else that proves so complicated.
I finally have Windows banished to a VM, only to be awoken for the 3 times a year I need a desktop version of PowerPoint.
I'm with you. 99% of the way there.
Woohoo! Pop Shop is one of the most irritating apps to deal with because of sluggish performance. Glad to see a lot of work is going into its replacement.
There have been some smaller ISP outages in my area too.
There was a recently disclosed giant problem with DNSSEC that was suppossed to have been mitigated but I wonder whether certain DNS providers haven't been able to patch yet.

Looks good to me. The only thing you might consider is getting a 2tb drive instead. You can find some for the same price as the 1 tb Samsung. Not just no-name brands either. A 1tb drive fills up with games in no time.

My main takeaway from this episode was the Romulans and Vulcans being the same and what the implications on that for Starfleet and Spock especially.
Romulans are like Vulcans? Does that make Vulcans bad? Romulans good? Spock is already the different one on the bridge? Will the rest of the crew believe in Starfleet ideals or will they turn on Spock and allow racism to rule the day.
Tie this to treatment of Japanese civilians in the US during world war 2 (something Sulu's actor was unfortunately quite familiar with). Are all members of a race bad because the governments are at war? Obviously not but this is a common refrain from the ignorant and afraid during conflicts.
Ultimately the Enterprise and the Romulan captain stop seeing themselves in terms of soldiers fighting for their side and instead as 2 people caught in the middle of the fight between their governments. The Romulan captain's sacrifice in the end exemplifies the realization. Rather than continue the conflict and drag both sides into a brutal patriotic conflict, he sees the humanitarian cost of such a conflict and therefore, the intrinsic value of life of both sides.
The episode wants to drive hope the point that people are people, no matter nationality or political conflict. At the end of the day we are all the same. Despite Stiles racism toward Spock, Kirk and by extension the Federation-idealized humanity, will have none of it.
He is the Rock-Et-Man after all
Was O'Brien and Bashir's friendship what eventually led to the Good Friday agreement? Historians will debate this topic for generations. (Not Star Trek Generations though)
Looks good. I'd go for 32 gigs of ram though if you can swing it. Also is there any reason why you want a 22" monitor specifically?
The reason this one should last is because ddr5 is new and so is the AM5 socket for AMD. AMD supported the previous socket from 2016-2022 so many are speculating that you should be able to do CPU upgrades for the foreseeable future without having to change the whole platform.

In the song the Sk8r boy is the hero who triumphs in the end so i think it makes sense.
