If you think that is confusing, this will blow your mind!

Also, they tend not to award British pounds in the US either.

Good analysis, but you failed to point out that the truck will be towing the whole assembly. Pushing this contraption in reverse could be a hair problematic.

If he is actually towing it, there is probably an 80% chance the actual truck would detonate the AT mine first, depending on how touchy the trigger was and if it's ran over directly. (The rig would probably deflect more of the blast back through the truck.)

That's funny how Dolby Atmos is in all caps. It's a protocol and that's it. Dolby squeezed out existing tech with a new protocol because marketing. There is nothing about this that couldn't already be done. If it couldn't already be done, not many people are going to hear the differences anyway.

However, if you are going to watch the movie in your professional studio or private theater, because you just just trashed all your perfectly good equipment just to have the Atmos logo, you're set.

She is Ukrainian-American, btw.

This is the second. It's different location than the one from a few days ago and is deeper into Russia.

This just seems like a meme template.

Just be glad he didn't bust out the black sharpie.

I watched through Day of Honor a couple of times today, but it was kinda choppy for me since I had to work.

I just want to clarify "give herself up" in that you mean she is willing to become part of the Voyager "collective" and puts aside her need to return to the Borg?

If my above assumption is correct, then yes. She is growing exponentially personality wise, but there are significant challenges in doing so.

Personally, I have been around engineers my entire life. Some people I know could rattle on for hours over something like p vs np even if they just learned about it a few hours ago. Put that same person in a complex social environment and they are absolutely clueless. It's similar to Seven.

Assuming I didn't know anything about her timeline after Day of Honor, my guess would have been it would take years for her to learn how to operate in a complex structure like we are accustomed to. Janeway seems bright enough to understand that as well. So yeah, it would be a very long time before she could make the kinds of decisions we take for granted and Janeway would have to do that for her like a parent.

Fast forward a bit to Picard, you can see how long it took for her character to develop into something that didn't resemble a robot. (I am willfully excluding some later episodes of Voyager that were kind of odd, btw.)

Yeah, so it's probably regional. My family from your part of the world doesn't use the colorful language I learned in NC. In many ways, it's it's more than just a dialect difference, it's an entirely different language. Idioms are much more common, or at least, more colorful.

That is what my kids call me... old-timey.
