Having said that, I’m hoping for a DS9 set and will forgive the omission if that happens.

I mean… he was in more episodes (52) than Yar (35), Ro Laren (9) and Guinan (29). Besides which he was important to ME, A RED HEADED KID! ☘️

I have FAI and a labral tear in both hips (fun). I had surgery on the left one in January to correct the impingement and repair the tear. Not 100% but definitely better. Right one is a coin toss whether to get surgery because cartilage damage. Pain is tolerable - it’s the sleep impact that kills me.

I love when Notion enabled AI on our account with a disclaimer, “May cause harm.”

Not to flex, but we also had (past tense) one of the largest Binishells in the world (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binishell).

I grew up down there (Churchill). We used to call Morwell Lessworse and thought we were very clever. It’s not an interesting story and, in hindsight, I regret bringing it up.

Don’t go to Morwell. No good can come of it.

The best bit was when I transferred data from the old switch and it made a special effort to tell me it had pre-selected my existing theme, making me think (foolishly) that there were now themes…
