In Star Wars, a Galactic Standard Year corresponded to the time it took Coruscant to orbit it's star once, 368 standard days.

Americans failed to pay record $688 billion in taxes in 2021, IRS says. Look for more audits.

At least read the article. Literally the second sentence reads:
“The agency said that it is taking "urgent" steps to increase compliance such as auditing more high-income taxpayers as well as businesses and partnerships. “
It goes on later:
“ The IRS has said it won't increase audits on households earning less than $400,000 annually.”

More importantly, this will be easily undone later, unlike much of the other damage he has done or plans to do. Compared to those things, I can't get too worked up over this.

Depends on what kind of food you’re talking about. Whole foods like potatoes, lentils and beans are filling, nutritious and inexpensive. Cheap processed foods frozen pizza are basically edible polyester.

How do you say Combs?
I’ve heard him introduce himself in a video, pronouncing his name as you would a hair comb.

We already have "clankers" thanks to Clone Wars. What more do we need?

Transgender, nonbinary and disabled people more likely to view AI negatively, study shows
That's fair, because AI is biased against them.

Why doesn't NA beer have nutrition fact labels in the USA?
NA beer is not basically “beer flavored soda.” The only thing the two have in common is carbonation and even that is produced differently in each. Soda is flavored syrup mixed with water that has been carbonated by forcing CO2 through it. NA beer is brewed the same as regular beer, and carbonation occurs during this process. For some NA beers, fermentation is arrested before significant amounts of alcohol form, while others are subjected to a vacuum to lower the boiling point so that the alcohol can be boiled out with a minimum effect of the flavor.

Nor is it a “duty” but rather is a right.

James Gunn's "SUPERMAN" (2025) will release in theaters exactly one year from today. Are you excited?
I have mixed feelings. Man of Steel was a good film with a decent, modern take on the character. Henry Cavil was a great casting choice for the lead role and I'd love to see him get another shot at it. I don't see the need for a reboot with a different cast. It feels like he's being punished for Superman v Batman and Justice League, films with shortcomings that were not his fault.
I'd rather see Gunn do for Superman what he did with The Suicide Squad - retain good performers from the lackluster predecessor films but give them a good script to work with.

Elizabeth Keen in Black List. Writers constantly told us how brilliant and special she was, then showed her acting like a dimwitted, hormonal teen.

M'Benga's Demotion is due to something on Gorn
Reply in thread
That doesn’t mean he has to be demoted. He could take a leave of absence from Star Fleet to deal with his PTSD, during which time Mark Piper becomes the Enterprise’s CMO. Later Piper is replaced by McCoy. When M’Benga gets his mind right, he returns, but by this time Kirk’s in command and likes his command staff as they are, but offers M’Benga a post as general physician.
But if you insist on the demotion idea, he’s already done plenty to warrant it.
Keeping his daughter in the sickbay transporter buffer was a dubious practice, made suspect by him keeping it secret from command. His actions in Under the Cloak of War could get him a court martial, if they came to light.

Do you still write notes with pen and paper?
Reply in thread
There’s research that backs you up.
People tend to retain more of their written notes than typed. The act of writing forces you to assimilate and summarize new information on the fly. Typing allows you to take more complete notes closer to a verbatim transcript, but you engage less with what you’ve typed.

How to install GrapheneOS
The irony of publishing a guide on installing a privacy oriented ROM while prohibiting users of another privacy measure (ad blockers) from reading said guide. Thanks, Jimbo, for the archive link.

There is a Batman villain or tragic anti-hero named "Manbat" whose real name is Kirk Langstrom. Perhaps Wayne Bruce was confused by being called by the name Langstrom's alter ego.

This article added quite a bit to the discussion. For one, U2’s beautiful day was also considered, as was a semi-operatic song performed by Russell Watson. It’s not simply a rehash of the hate it/love arguments. I encourage you to read it.

Of the 16 images, five don't count. The one with the Gorn is an obvious joke, but for four other, Kirk wasn't acting of his own free will. He was being physically controlled by God like aliens, mind controlled or straight up sexually assaulted.
