  • What few people ever mention is … alcohol and sometimes drugs.

    Very few people imagine a party without some intoxicant. Even children’s parties, parents will give a party for the kids but the adults seperate themselves to enjoy a bit of alcohol.

    Just think of it … a party with 20 adults and no alcohol or drugs. Some people can do it but the majority of the population would avoid it.


  • RIP to Jeffery Hunter the actor who played the original Christopher Pike … I’m actually watching The Original Series with my wife (which is a small miracle) and as we watch, we research and look up little facts and details about the show. Jeffery Hunter at the time was a handsome leading man with a great career in film and television. He had a stunt accident in 1969 which injured him and led to his death shortly after, at the age of 42 - five years after making his appearance as the first Star Trek captain in 1964. He would never know his important place in Star Trek fandom almost 60 years later.

  • I’m Indigenous Canadian and I remember living with my 90 year grandfather in the 1980s … he was an Ojibway/Cree hunter trapper who was born in the bush and lived on the land all his life and he was a first world war veteran (he never saw action but he was the first in our family to see Europe). He only spoke our language and knew just a few English words (which is amazing because he had been to England and back and never bothered to learn English). Our whole family spoke our language so we were freely able to listen to all his stories. We took lots of pictures back then but for some strange reason, we don’t have many photos of him. We just took for granted that he was there and that someone, somewhere was taking pictures … but it turned out that not enough people did.

    I only remember bits and pieces because I was a wild kid that never sat at home … now I just wish I had spent more time with him, taken photos and even video recorded him. I’ll always remember him sitting outside our front door in the summer in his warm wool clothes soaking up the warm sun. We live in a cold part of the country so the sun and warmth were always important to him. He had so much history, so much information and so much to share … I will forever feel bad about losing all that.

    Which is why I want to say … take lots of photos … record a video … record her voice, even if you don’t understand … record as much as possible and often … those recordings, the pictures and the sounds will become precious memories you’ll treasure for life. I remember what my grandfather sounded like … but I just wish I could hear him again.

  • Makes sense … but once you teleport a portion of content out of the body, doesn’t that leave a void that has to be filled … leaving room for gas to form? After a big meal and the transporter team beams out that big holiday log out of you, I’d expect to hear a few guys and gals rip some big ones an hour or two after.

    It always made me wonder that over the next few hundred years, humans will still suffer from our bodily functions.

    Like flatulence. Just a bit of gas build up in our system that releases itself from time to time and sometimes without our control.

    And if Data is ‘fully functional’ does he have a randomised system to release a little pluff of gas from time to time just so he could be like everyone else?
