The place in the U.S. with the longest name is Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg in Webster, Massachusetts.

The U.S. Department of the Interior recognizes it as Lake Chaubunagungamaug, which is the original name before the exaggerated longer version was created in the early 20th century. The locals generally call it Webster Lake.

They've announced that season 5 of Discovery will debut in April. They already announced a while back that this will be the final season.

https://trekmovie.com/2023/12/02/star-trek-discovery-season-5-to-debut-in-april-watch-new-clip-from-ccxp/

Also, filming has reportedly started on season 3 of Strange New Worlds, which probably means it'll debut around mid 2025.

Finished Season 2 of Discovery. Been absolutely going on a tear with it lately. Lots of time on my hands...

The ending of season 2 felt like a necessary, but still very cheap way to package Discovery into the backstory of TOS. Was let down by it a bit.

But I've heard that Season 3 and 4 are much more free to chart Discovery's own course, so that should still be fun
You reminded me that I still haven't watched season 4 of Discovery.

I can say at least that season 3 is a little better than season 2. There's still some dumb stuff but the time jump was the right move.

For casual viewing, s3 of TNG is a good entry.

Otherwise, start at s1 of TNG, and work your way through DS9 and Voyager.

At this point, I'd say TOS is really for people who appreciate the history of Trek more than anything. It's not something a casual consumer in 2023 is necessarily going to glom onto, unless they're of a certain age.

I'm a Trek fan, start to finish, so I don't think there's a good place to end. Just keep going til you've got it all, and then wait for more. That's me, though.
I mostly agree with this. TNG season 3 is probably the easiest place to start with older Trek if you just want to dip your toe in the water and get a sense whether Trek is for you. You'd also be fine just googling a list of best TNG episodes and watching those. It's not a very serialized show so it's fine to skip around for the most part.

If you want to check out a modern Trek show Strange New Worlds is probably your best bet.

TOS is good. I think the writing and performances hold up well for being such an old show. But it is a show that's more than a half century old. If you're used to watching TV and movies from the 60s you might start there but otherwise it might be a little too jarring. Definitely worth checking out though if you do watch other Star Trek and find that it clicks with you.

Getting a real Christmas tree is good for the environment since all those trees growing in tree farms remove a lot of carbon from the atmosphere.

You have to dispose of it properly though. The best way is to turn it into mulch and a lot of cities have recycling programs that will do just that. Another good way is to simply throw it in your backyard or in the woods where it can decompose naturally.

The things not to do are to burn it, since that releases the trapped carbon back into the air, or take it to the landfill because if it's covered up and not getting oxygen as it decomposes it'll produce methane.

Forced mandates and attacking people for not implicitly trusting these vaccines is a left wing thing.
There were polls before the vaccine even existed showing like 40% of Republicans said they would not take it. There were military members who refused to take it even though they didn't have a problem getting the whole list of other vaccines military members are required to get. Don't try to act like a significant portion of the right hasn't turned opposition to the vaccine itself, not just mandates, into a political issue.

Yes. I read an account years ago that described an event where a woman who had been picketing the abortion clinic one day came in with her daughter to get the procedure done for her. While the abortion was being performed, the mother was telling the staff that this didn't change anything and that they were still evil for providing abortions, and the next day the mother was right back outside protesting the clinic.

It might have been in that link posted above and maybe I'm misremembering the details at this point, but it's been a long time since I've read it.
I'm sure for a lot of people it's that they live in places where they have to at least pretend to be anti-abortion to not be ostracized by their community. But you hear stories like that and it's like some people don't seem to understand that their own claims of being anti-abortion are purely performative when their actions show that they clearly are not.

My brother in law works HR for the government in DC. Has been remote for a couple years now. I think theyre (not him, his bosses) are pushing to get people back in the office. His boss told him the reason is literally the economy in DC. With all those people remotely working, money isnt being spent in DC that was previously. Its so stupid.
See, that's all the more reason why office space should be replaced with housing. That'll bring money back to those areas just instead of businesses serving people who work in the area it would be people who live in the area.

I get that it's not easy to convert office space into condos but we're in a situation where we have too much office space and not enough housing.

To some extent I do feel sorry for her with the struggles she's going through. But at the same time, she got what she asked for. Maybe it took this experience to make her realize it wasn't what she wanted but I'm not even quite sure she realizes that. She seems to still want to prevent other women from getting abortions and wants hers to be an exception, but you can't have it both ways.

For some reason I never watched Star Trek: The Motion Picture until a few years ago. I really liked it. Sure, the beauty shots of The Enterprise are over done, but I can picture myself sitting in a movie theater in 1979 and being amazed at it. Plus I can just fast forward. It's the closest of any of the movies to the TV show. It really feels like a bigger budgeted and better written episode of the show. It's not action packed like the rest of the movies, but it didn't need to be. I think they only fire the ship's phasers or photon torpedoes once if I recall. I really like the "twist" as well. Too many people overlook it, especially those with the silly opinion that the odd numbered movies suck.
I used to not like TMP but in recent years I've really come around to it. The pacing is so different from what we're used to in modern movies and you've got to be ready for that. It's about letting yourself be immersed in the world it's presenting, experiencing the excellent visuals and music, and taking in the ideas it's presenting. It still has its problems, some of which are addressed by the director's cut. On the whole, I like it a lot. I'd definitely say it's good Star Trek.
