I saw it a couple of days ago and thought of posting it but that nobody at a Star Trek community would be too interested in a TVO interview, and nobody in the Ontario community would be overly interested in a Robert Picardo interview. Glad there’s an overlap!

Haha, that’s right. Immediate noticed that.
I think younger people in Canada only know °F if their thermostat is set to it and they can’t or don’t bother to change. My stupid fridge is in Fahrenheit and that can’t be changed (even though the handbook shows the display in Celsius! A variation of the model is probably sold abroad).
I think Canada properly adopted Celsius, kilometres, litres and millilitres (at least here in Toronto), but all other metric units are the underdog. Even CBC, that is probably the only media outlet that tries to stick to metric will specify people’s height in feet and inches. Shameful.
This is a sign on the road to Budapesht near the border between Ukraine and Hungary. There’s the weird insistence in Ukraine to do a one-to-one transliteration of Cyrillic to Latin without much thought, so Ш just becomes SH… Google Maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YyzH7xx7gWNJCcqA6
Not all galaxies are spirals, and spiral galaxies may (kinda) stop spinning after galactic mergers make them into ellipticals with low net angular momentum.
Also note that if it’s just for personal use, you don’t have to have a domain for HTTPS. You can self sign, or create your own certificate authority, you just need to clients to trust it. But domains can be cheap or even free, so it’s better to get one so you don’t have to specially configure your devices.

These two had the misfortune of being in the grey zone between background and supporting characters. It’s fine for a show not to focus on the bridge crew (who’s at the helm on the Cerritos?) but Detmer and Owosekun got a raw deal because sometimes it seemed like they were gonna have some character development. Like in season 3 that Detmer had this bizarre beef with Stamets out of nowhere, and that was probably the only episode where she got more than a couple of lines.
I’m not surprised that the actresses chose their other projects (they were probably at the bottom of the totem poll of the show in terms of pay).
I probably wouldn’t have noticed they were missing, but in episode 3 Michael introduced Rayner to the crew and said “You’ll meet Owosekun, Detmer and the rest of the crew in a little bit”, and then later Tilly said “I’ll send Commander Owosekun in”, off screen of course. Lame.
For years now I haven’t watched a Discovery episode at less that x1.2, and at the worst parts I speed it up to x2.0.
Discovery got even worse after season 2.
Very nice. I’ve been daily driving KDE for 20 years and only changed the default wallpaper once or twice.
On behalf of UofT, what an honour /s
It caught me by surprise. When they filmed the short trek some years ago there was a university-wide email about filming going on, but this time nothing.
Both DSC and SNW are filmed in Toronto, and we’ve seen landmarks from the city before (e.g. Aga Khan Museum, Ontario Place); and of course “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” took place entirely in the city in the 2020s and featured it heavily.
I also always start with “crane” 😁
Egyptian hieroglyphs used to be painted, what we see now is usually (but not always) completely faded.
Is it actually running snap or just unpacking its content and running it as a normal flatpak?
It’s interesting, but I don’t think viewing order has to be chronological. If someone is adamant about watching everything, I’d recommend they go by production order.
Not sure it satisfies your requirements but I’m quite happy with Baïkal.
Yeah, Paikin is a great interviewer!
