  • As a fan of mysteries, my mind tends to clasp onto details that writers felt important enough to mention, but had no bearing on the plot up to this point.

    The fact that the ship Tendi recovered was a “medical frigate” triggered such an alarm in my head. Yes the ship was able to gas the Blue Orions, but that’s hardly a feature unique to medical ships.

    We Know:

    • Tendi wants to come back to help raise her niece.
    • Tendi wants to be a captain
    • The finale is going to have some tear jerking moments
    • This is the last season.

    I think we’re being prepped for the main cast to go their separate ways, not unlike the DS9 finale.

    We’ve had some foreshadowing with Freeman and Starbase 80. I wonder if the finale might end with her being posted there, as an admiral. Fix it up, that sort of thing, rather than an exile.








  • Eeh.

    While I agree with the sentiment, I think we’re in this situation because of the current medical climate.

    • You call an ambulance? You get charged an arm and a leg.

    • You take yourself to the hospital, you get charged an arm and a leg.

    • You get medical insurance, and you’re somehow even further behind because it’s their priority to find reasons to deny having to give you money back,

    The current system does not work. As a consequence, people are attempting, however incompetently, to take their care into their own hands.

    Fix why folks are resorting to this, and this should stop being an issue, or at least stop gaining traction.













  • I liked to use a three tiered approach…

    Back when we could jailbreak our iPhones I’d use this and overwrite the system’s hosts file. I still use it on my Mac, even if I can’t on iOS anymore.

    A VPN is an excellent solution, but when selecting one, you have to read the privacy policy and NOT give the policy the benefit of the doubt. I’ve seen a few that give themselves permission to share your info while making it sound reasonable. I use lockdown personally.

    For Safari Extensions, 1Blocker is what ai currently use.
