Wow, I loved how hard this was. Some took me 3 or 4 tries before getting it. It’s been maybe 4-5 years since I’ve done a re-watch, so I found it interesting that some episodes like Silicon Avatar and Inheritance blurred together in my memory.

Re: screenshots, I’d assume they were scraped from memoryalpha.

Tangent: Her LEGO minifig next to the Apollo code is one of my, and my daughter’s, favorites.

What, specifically, do you find to be an early sign pointing in that direction?

Technically, they’re both part of the Mitsubishi Group, the former zaibatsu; there are number of other Mitsubishi companies in this conglomerate as well.

However, the Mitsubishi Pencil company is entirely unrelated to the Mitsubishi Group. Ironically, they share a very similar three diamond logo, which they registered and used years before Mitsubishi Group.

I’ve been holding on to my 12 mini for a bit too long probably. I loved the thing before iOS 26, but sadly since then, even basic tasks cause it to overheat and just hang for several minutes until it cools off. The battery is a joke of course, but I was fine with that until the overheating. I’ve swapped it 2x over the years for a new unit, but shit software, shift web, and shit cell data coverage have made it nearly unusable.

I’ll finally, albeit reluctantly, upgrade this year. I really liked the mini form factor.

Evasive? They literally discussed the layers of materials, with the outer being a polymer.

And where does that end?

Public stonings, where you can bid on the rocks? Cut a thief’s hand off?

I read the comment as an overview of their utility costs—natural gas, not gasoline.

Looks like the paid/pro version does this.

> Add a cable, give it a name, and WhatCable records how it performs over time, with a verdict per cable.

Yeah, I took a shortcut by just grabbing the copyright on page, but Lurker’s Guide to Babylon 5 has a slightly more storied history than being a www site. It started on Usenet before the pilot even aired iirc. I assume the ‘92 date encompasses the early content that evolved into the site it became.

With that said, its domain has changed a few times iirc… so maybe not the best example given the nature of the article.

I was about to make the same comment. Squeak and Scheme were mind expanding points of curriculum for me.

I still remember writing a Ga Tech themed version of The Sims in Squeak. I felt omnipotent being able to inspect or modify any object while debugging the game mechanics engine I’d written; that was a fun project.

My city has a contract with Flock, but the rest of their tech “stack” is Axon based. I’ll be surprised if they don’t change ALPR to Axon at first chance.
