6/13/2023 0 Comments Mind meld meme![]() It ranks as one of the best because, as the late Margaret Wander Bonnano noted in her classic Star Trek novel Strangers from the Sky, it was the first time we saw Spock mind meld with Kirk. Spock uses the Vulcan mind meld to make his fellow Enterprise landing party members absolutely certain the bullets “Wyatt Earp” and his gang are shooting at the Melkotians’ “OK Corral” aren’t real. The scene became such an iconic Star Trek moment, Hallmark even turned it into a Christmas ornament in 2014! Spock Mind Melds with Kirk in “Spectre of the Gun” His wide eyes and high voice as he speaks the Horta’s lament for her murdered children make the moment truly heartbreaking. But Leonard Nimoy proved his mastery of his craft when he was able to make viewers believe Spock was psychically communing with the creature. In a lesser actor’s hands, Spock’s meeting of the minds with the Horta would be nothing but laughable. Spock Mind Melds with the Horta in “The Devil in the Dark” The low point was the last mind meld Nimoy ever acted: Spock Prime’s hasty and unceremonious “infodump” meld to show Kirk, and the audience, his history with Nero in Star Trek (2009).īut “Memento Mori” gives me hope Star Trek can still deliver dramatic and meaningful mind meld scenes-scenes like the three best mind melds we ever saw Spock perform. It was hard for Star Trek writers to keep away from such a dramatic plot device, and mind melds became increasingly routine and undramatic. Nimoy himself lamented in his autobiography I Am Spock (1995) that “the more Spock utilized the mind meld, the less dangerous it seemed to become” (p. (Intriguingly, Spock also told McCoy he had “never used on a human.” Did Strange New Worlds pull off a mind meld retcon? Or did Spock, who we know to be a master secret-keeper, keep his meld with La’an-who is still human, albeit genetically augmented-confidential? I’d like to believe the latter.) Van Gelder, with whom he melds, “It could be dangerous.” And in that episode, too, Spock pushes back: “It’s a hidden, personal thing to the Vulcan people,” Spock tells McCoy, “part of our private lives.” He also warns Dr. McCoy-is gently but firmly pressuring Spock to perform the meld in a moment of extreme need. In that episode, too, another character-in this case, Dr. The episode handles the meld almost as delicately as did “Dagger of the Mind” 56 years ago when it introduced the Vulcan joining of minds into Star Trek mythos. Resurfacing hidden memories can be painful, even dangerous.” And Spock cautions La’an, “The mind meld is not a shortcut for dealing with mental trauma. La’an tells Spock,”I’ve heard what Vulcans can do,” implying the mind meld is only hearsay or rumor, perhaps even legend, among non-Vulcans. To the credit of “Memento Mori,” it does not treat the mind meld casually. ![]() In its fourth episode, “Memento Mori,” La’an Noonien-Singh asks Spock to help her recover long-suppressed memories of her devastating childhood encounter with the Gorn. It didn’t take Star Trek: Strange New Worlds long to work in the Vulcan mind meld as a plot device. ![]() Mind meld dignity could be restored in Strange New Worlds. ![]() 6/13/2023 0 Comments Limbo bar old man![]() ![]() ![]() Trump did not attend the trial or testify on his own behalf, insisting throughout the proceedings that he had never met Carroll and that, even if he had, she wasn’t his “type.”Īttorneys representing the former president attempted to convince jurors that Carroll’s claims were both far-fetched and nothing more than an effort to sell copies of her book, released in the wake of the #MeToo movement, apparently to no avail. ![]() The jury apparently agreed that the twice-impeached one-term former commander-in-chief had sexually abused Carroll during a chance encounter near the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman department store located just across the street from Trump Tower in 1996, but jurors rejected the notion that Trump’s alleged actions met the legal bar to be called rape. We have allowed false and totally made-up claims from troubled individuals to interfere with our elections, doing great damage,” he said via his campaign.Īs a result of the civil case, which carries no risk of criminal penalty, jurors say Trump will have to pay Carroll at least $5 million. In jurisdictions wholly controlled by the Democratic Party our nation’s justice system is now compromised by extremist left-wing politics. “The Democratic Party’s never-ending witch-hunt of President Trump hit a new low today. This verdict is a disgrace - a continuation of the greatest witch hunt of all time,” Trump said on his Truth Social media platform following the verdict. “I have absolutely no idea who this woman is. The 45th president sexually abused Carroll, six men and three women determined after about three hours of deliberation Tuesday, but jurors would not hold Trump to account for his alleged actions during a three-decade-old encounter between the pair that Carroll has maintained led to her rape. Jean Carroll but did not rape her, a jury in New York unanimously decided.

If done correctly, the launcher can be bypassed and you can run the game on the Steam Deck! It might not always function, and may need to be configured repeatedly if it doesn’t work. In the box for Launch Options, add “.bat %command%” (without the quotes), with being whatever you named the text file.You should be looking at the General settings.

Open the Kerbal Space Program 2 folder inside Steam.Bypassing the launcher is possible, and you must do it to play it on the Steam Deck. Weather stations, solar panels, and more allow players to collect science over time, while they venture out to research mysterious surface features such as cryovolcanoes with new robotic parts.Kerbal Space Program 2 has a launcher from Private Division, which you must go through in order to play the game. Take on new challenges with a breadth of added tools and parts in KSP’s second expansion, Breaking Ground. With Breaking Ground players will receive a new suit that is futuristic in aesthetic and tied to the science-focus of this expansion. A New Suit: Of course, the ever-important Kerbal fashion can never be forgotten.To coincide with these new parts, the addition of a robotics controller system will let players coordinate the behavior of all the different parts on their craft. Robotic Parts: Long-requested robotics parts will now be available for use in KSP! A hinge, piston, rotor, and rotational servo in various sizes will allow players to tackle new challenge as well as enhance the creativity of their crafts.By attaching the new robotic rover arm to their rovers, players can scan the larger surface features to collect important scientific data. While smaller surface features can be transported back to KSC by Kerbals themselves, larger ones provide a greater challenge and will require Kerbals to venture out in rovers or send unmanned rovers. Meteors, craters, rock outcroppings, cryovolcanoes and more now populate the landscape. Surface Features: A major addition with Breaking Ground is found on the celestial bodies scattered throughout the solar system.The active seismometer in particular asks players to deliberately crash things into a celestial body to gather seismic data! These pieces of equipment must be left out for a period of time to fully collect all of the scientific data and relay it back to Kerbin. Upon reaching their destination, players will need to deploy the equipment, which includes a central station, booster antenna, solar panel, weather station, active seismometer, RTG, goo observation, and ion detector. Players will be able to utilize a storage container in their craft that can hold various pieces of science equipment. Deployed Science: Scientific experiments have always gone hand-in-hand with space exploration and are now becoming an even greater focus in KSP.These all operate under realistic physics with real forces and torque, electricity consumption, and even motor mass. While gathering that data, newly added surface features have been scattered across the solar system, which players will need to go out in search of to either scan or bring back to Kerbin for further examination.Īdditionally, robotic parts are being added! A hinge, piston, rotor, and rotational servo in various sizes will be accessible to massively alter the possibilities of players’ crafts. This feature-rich expansion is focused on increasing the objective possibilities once celestial bodies have been reached by adding more interesting scientific endeavors and expanding the toolset.Īfter landing on a celestial body, a variety of data collecting equipment can now be deployed to conduct scientific experiments. Kerbal Space Program: Breaking Ground Expansion is the second expansion for the PC version of the critically acclaimed space flight simulator, Kerbal Space Program. ![]() 6/13/2023 0 Comments Slow burn podcast![]() ![]() Nixon asks John Dean to resign in April 1973.

The Destroyer smacks Thor, apparently killing him, but in Thor's sacrifice he gains his worthyness back. Loki appears to be considering, but instead tells The Destroyer to finish Thor. Thor (currently unworthy) tries to talk to Loki, (who is in control of The Destroyer at this time) and convince him to change his course of action. After dispatching some S.H.I.E.L.D agents with ease, and taking care of Lady Sif and the warriors three with only a bit more resistance, The Destroyer comes face to face with Thor. After being told by Loki to find and kill Thor, it is beamed down to Earth to carry out its mission. The Destroyer only has one large batle in Thor.

We couldn’t help but smile at the choice of words, as we suspect you will too. They may also be used to mitigate some security issues more quickly, such as issues that might have been exploited or reported to exist “in the wild.” They deliver important security improvements between software updates - for example, improvements to the Safari web browser, the WebKit framework stack, or other critical system libraries. Rapid Security Responses are a new type of software release for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. On both devices, there was a brand new URL that linked not to Apple’s usual HT201222 Security Updates portal (which hasn’t been updated since – we checked), but to a brand new page named HT201224, entitled Rapid Security Responses: This one announced what Apple calls a Security Response, tagged not with a new version number, but with a letter in round brackets after the existing version number.įor macOS Ventura, we were offered version 13.3.1 (a) and for our iPhone, we were offered 16.4.1 (a). Well, today (which just happens to be a public holiday in the UK, as we celebrate Beltane and the approximate halfway point between vernal equinox and summer solstice), we received a brand new sort of update notification for both our Mac and our iPhone. ![]() Sometimes, those older versions have received their own patches for exactly the same zero-day holes, without explanation, days or weeks later.Īt other times, the next updates for those older versions have at least implied that the zero-day holes didn’t affect them after all. We’ve had updates arrive for the very latest macOS and iOS versions, but with nothing for earlier supported versions, with no mention of whether those devices were immune by good fortune, at risk but left in limbo for a while, or at risk but never going to be fixed. Our approach has therefore been simply to assume the worst, and to infer that the story that Apple wasn’t telling ran something like this: “Devices analysed in the wild found to have hidden spyware implanted by unknown threat actors.”Īnd we’ve therefore followed our own rhyming advice of: Do not delay/Simply do it today. …but without even the vaguest description of what sort of criminals, and what they were up to, which would at least help to round out the story. ![]() We’ve had urgent updates accompanied by email notifications that warned us of zero-day bugs that needed fixing right away, because crooks were already onto them… (a).We’ve written about the uncertainty of Apple’s security update process many times before.

He announced Sunday that he received a guarantee of new supplies and indicated that his forces would stay in Bakhmut after all. Prigozhin, whose private military forces have spearheaded Russia's fighting in the bloody and months-long battle for Ukraine's eastern city of Bakhmut, excoriated Russia's top military brass and threatened on Friday to withdraw his forces due to insufficient ammunition supplies. "Prigozhin also claimed that the MoD gave Wagner complete freedom of operations in Bakhmut and appointed Army General Sergey Surovikin as an intermediary between the MoD and Wagner," it added, suggesting that the defense ministry chiefs "lack the ability to command Prigozhin and Kadyrov as subordinates but must instead negotiate with them as peers."
