In Scalzi’s book “Redshirts”, the Astrogator (based on Checkov) suffers PTSD from almost being killed every week/mission, but then miraculously recovering repeatedly. 😂 Could have been based on O’Brien too.

When that poster said “good news”, perhaps he meant good news for India

Nice photobomb! I got two shots of the F35s south of Cupertino at 12:42pm 11/8/26. Presumably the same group. There were four, but one was flying loose so my pictures only captured three.

Netrek (1989) was the first Internet team game. College students played it over the Internet before the World Wide Web was created. It introduced teams, logins, saving stats between games, chat, and switching the network protocol between TCP/UDP during play (for performance reasons). It’s still played occasionally. Newer clients get implemented for newer operating systems periodically. Originally we played it at 5FPS.
