Roddenberry wrote lyrics for the TOS theme song so he could claim half of the song's royalties and less money would be paid to the composer Alexander Courage.

When I started with Linux, I started with vim because the tutorials I was working off used vi and vim. Once I started with vim and learned the commands, I wasn't going to switch to something else... there's a joke somewhere in there about not knowing how to exit... but I'm not making it.

If I was going to write documentation now for a Linux newbie, I'd probably pick nano to start with.

Yeah. This is one of the breakaway groups from when the Episcopal Church started ordaining women in the 1970s. Fun fact: the "Anglican Catholic Church" was one of the names considered for the Episcopal Church when it was founded.

It's interesting to see the contrast between his remarks and that of Bishop Budde.

At least it's following the "every other" rule for Star Trek Movies. Final Frontier was awful. Undiscovered County was great. Generations has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 47 while First Contact is at 93. See my table below. Now that we've gotten a bad one out of the way, I'd watch four to six movies with the SNW Crew.

People made a big deal about Michelle Obama missing Jimmy Carter's funeral. Why wasn't President Elon there? Hmmm. Why isn't that being covered?

His name was Luigi Mangione.

Yes, but that is a person at rest. They generate more heat if they are active. Useful if you're planning the heating needs for movie theater as compared to an exercise studio.
