yeah they figured out that being a space truck stop was lame as poo poo so the writers gave them a sweet ship to compensate.

uh one of my favorite things is wasting an hour in a stuckey's and having a galactic truck stop is an amazing place that i would be happy to live on

ds9 was less "truck stop in space" and more "gunsmoke in space" (frontier community, every week a stranger would come to town, trouble would ensue, and the issue would be resolved and the status quo reestablished in time for the closing credits) - at least for the first several seasons

the main thing that star trek is missing is space fighters.

everything is a big heavy ship and it's all the battle of trafalgar in space, while star wars is fighters and bombers and the battle of britain in space.

of course the best representation of space fighters remains battlestar galactica, which is the battle of midway in space, but the rest of that show sucks

I don’t know how much longer I can take of the regular on-prem folks at work organizing endless after-hours socializing activities like watching cooking shows as groups and signalling strong and loud that my regular way of life is a catastrophic predicament that requires constant support for them.

first round of data on general population prevalence of antibodies to sars-2-cov

quote:

(April 1, 2020) -- San Miguel County, CO -- San Miguel County Public Health officials announced today that less than 1 percent of the COVID-19 blood tests done last Thursday and Friday were positive for antibodies and 97% of these groups tested negative.

The county appears to include the town of telluride, and not a whole lot else.

In some sense we were hoping for the opposite result - that a whole bunch of people had it and developed antibodies/immunity but were asymptomatic.

work status: I’m now officially in charge of a million dollar project, which is fun. I also pressed them on a raise because that’s a lot of new responsibility and they said they were already working on giving me one so hopefully it is what I asked for a month ago.

yes, but it's pretty much the middle of nowhere. results from seattle/bay area/nyc will be a lot more interesting
