So you're saying I should ball you up, dribble you around like a basketball in a cartoon, then dunk you right into the fat scolipede TF pool, right?

We're aware of an issue with the website currently. Apparently it wanted to take a long lunch because it's Friday. We've explained that it's not Friday everywhere, and it is come back to the office immediately. Apologies for the interruption and we'll get it back online soon :)

It’s finally happening! I will be at the European Spreadsheet Risks Interest Group annual conference! July 3,4 in London. See sum(you all) there. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/eusprig-2025-annual-conference-spreadsheet-productivity-and-risks-tickets-1219511143659

In fact!!!!!

Ok so

Target is the one that seems to generate all these Name & Name brands, and a while ago I got on their case about "Good & Gather" because there's no way to interpret this where both words are the same part of speech. https://socel.net/@hexadoodle/110646033894254971

But I missed the obvious: these are PEOPLE'S names. My sincerest apologies to Samantha Good and Trevor Gather. I just hope you're getting fairly compensated for manufacturing half the groceries in the whole store.

Canon Connections: PRO 2x11 - Last Flight of the Protostar, Part 1

• The episode picks up where the pervious episode, “The Devourer of All Things, Part II” left off, with the Protogies having located an older, grizzled, bearded Chakotay on a remote world. Chakoldtay immetately throws the CHAH-mooz-ee stone Dal was holding out to him at the end of the previous episode over his shoulder and goes back about the business of living off the land.

    • We see Chakotay whittling a chess set. Though as alternate dimension Kirk puts it in “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, the old fashioned, two-dimensional version, ”Basically idiot’s chess.”

• It’s the Emergency Janeway Hologram! From Star Trek! The EJH…died for lack of a better term when she sacrificed herself in “Supernova, Part 2”, but thanks to time travel, she’s back.

• We learn that from Chakotay’s perspective, it’s been ten years since he was rescued from Solumn by the Protogies in “Who Saves the Saviors”.

• Chakotay explains that he and Adreek stranded the USS Protostar to prevent the Vau N’Akat weapon learned about in “A Moral Star, Part 2” from reaching the Federation, and Dal recounts how the Protogies set off the weapon in “Supernova, Part 1” and then destroyed the Protostar in “Supernova, Part 2”.

• The first instance of an ion storm in Trek was in the season one TOS episode, ‘The Galileo Seven”.

• Zero finds the Protostar’s dedication plaque, and we learn that the ship was launched on stardate 59749.1. Assuming stardates happen sequetionally, that would put the launch of the Protostar after the events of all or most of season 5 of LDS, the latest stardate for which we have is 59499.6, “Fully Dialated”.

    • The Protostar’s dedication plague has the quote, “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves,” which seems to paraphrase a line of William Shakespeare’s “Julius Ceaser” and is attributed to him on many internet quote sites, but is not actually from the Bard’s works.

• Jankom sets about repairing the broken down runaway ground vehicle, which was introduced in “Dream Catcher”.

    • In this episode we learn the runaway has a hover function.

• ”Out of all the planets to maroon yourself on, you pick this P class nightmare?” Class P planets have not been previously mentioned on screen, but were introduced in the “Star Trek Maps” reference book, published in 1980. According to the “Star Trek Star Charts” reference book, Class P worlds are over 80% glaciated. Assuming Jankom is right, Chakotay apparently marooned the Protostar in a warm spot.

• Dal discovered Adreek’s skeleton, and we learn that Aurelian skulls have spurs of bone projecting from them, presumably covered by the feathers.
