Was your grandfather a Star Trek fan or somehow related to the show?

Certainly we all know that he will die alone.

You and others have suggested similar theories. Other commenters mention tight production budgets or reusing set pieces.

I don’t get it though. The worn out effect is so over-dramatic and visibly noticeable on this one set/scene but not on any of the others. It’s like they played into making the galley look like a complete wreck but didn’t for the other Enterprise sets. Also the worn effect is not just one part of the galley - it’s the entire thing.

Edit: also they refit the Enterprise in The Final Frontier. How does the galley get that wrecked so quickly but everything else is tip top?

Virgin Voyages, while they don’t allow kids, is similarly a complete sham about their free vs premium internet tiers. There may have well not be a free tier if you want anything even close to usable Internet.

I’m really sorry you lost your job, again.

I work in healthcare IT and I had to do the layoffs this past year to send the jobs to the Philippines and it was eye opening what their salaries are compared to ours. They are good people there and they are smart and have ambitions just like we do, only for a fraction of the cost. And yes, in one case I had to layoff an entire team regardless of how good they were (they were really good). For them it was just the case that I could find replacements for them in the markets we were looking and if I laid them off then I could layoff fewer in other departments. This was the first time I have been faced with having to do this and it was pretty awful. I take my work really personally and treasure the relationships and I think this whole thing has had a lasting impact on my happiness level. So many times I was fearful that I would be in a position of lying to my teams if asked a direct question, something I would never do. Trying to navigate the whole thing was led to many sleepless nights. I went through exercises where I practiced my responses to potential questions I might be asked as the rumor slowly started churning.

I don’t know why I’m sharing all of this, but it helps me to talk about it. The mid tier management (that’s me) that gets given the marching orders and has to carry it all out suffers a different kind of pain, even if we did keep our jobs. I hope I’m never asked to do it again.

I’m sorry again. Don’t take it too personally is maybe what my winding story and opposing perspective is to mean. I’m sure you are good at what you do.

You should consider a password manager.

I played for a while and it was decent but it gets rather old/repetitive after a while. I was happy to play it on Apple Arcade since it didn’t require me to explicitly purchase. You win battles to unlock characters and upgrades, etc. The storyline was okay. The battle sequences just get tiresome after a while and that’s pretty much the bulk of what the game is.

And commenting about it, too!
