Storm could deliver snow to region during Tuesday evening rush hour; many schools call for early dismissal

Yes and after the Starfleet “follow up” team gets back from checking on New Eden, the next scheduled stop is to check on Ceti Alpha V.

Philipona 2004 made surface-based measurements of DLR using Eppley PIR devices, between 1998 and 2002. He claimed success. I point out the accuracy of the instrumentation, which does not support his findings.

Look you’re not wrong but what’s funny is I remember hearing the argument over and over again the reason why so many wanted a show in the 23rd century because they DIDN’T want all this advance and sleek technology like the 24th century shows got. They wanted it to feel more ‘grounded’ (whatever that meant lol) and where you can’t just have stuff made out of air by machines, super weapons or things that just felt too fantastical. Well now that we have that, even more so than the 24th century the argument has become we live in a more advance time so the show should just reflect all the wild possibilities.

That episode was actually… pretty good, I’d say. In fact, I’d almost go as far as to say that it was probably the show’s one episode that I have enjoyed most thoroughly so far. It’s starting to feel more and more like DISCO just completely changed course after S1, very much akin to the changes between TNG’s first and second seasons (even though in TNG, as we all know, S2 was still the “not quite there yet”-season) – this episode even featured an extended TNG-style briefing scene, wouldcha believe it! And YET (hey, what else would you expect?) some of the earlier weaknesses still keep popping up – and again, they’re really more “conceptual” in nature, rather than just ONE writer’s or producer’s fault. For example, once again, the episode was just a fair bit too short! The A- and B-plots were at the same time clearly separate but still so intermingled (which in itself is definitely not a bad thing) that the entire episode lacked that certain bit of focus – I for one would’ve just loved to see a little more of New Eden and the people living there, which doesn’t mean that the Tilly-subplot wasn’t interesting (which, IMO, sets it apart from “Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum”, the example named in the review – since that one had three concurrent plot threads going and all of them were merely brushed, so that there was no real way to get invested in any particular one)! Then there was the expository monologue delivered by the lady in New Eden (I can’t remember whether she was named, so I’m gonna call her Mrs. Exposition), which felt way too expansive and heavy-handed – are we supposed to believe that people from “the North” live in such isolation that they know literally nothing about the history of (presumably) the entire planet’s human society? Thirdly, I couldn’t quite figure out whether the inclusion of Owosekun in the landing party was just a wasted opportunity or actually meant as a bit of a joke, since Burnham suggests bringing her along on the grounds that she had presumably grown up within a religious community, but a minute after they beam down it turns out she had no religious upbringing at all. And lastly there was this instance of total implausibility that really ground my gears: So, as I understood, Discovery or the Discovery’s tractor beams did not have enough power to pull away that radioactive debris, but it was enough to pull that super-dense asteroid they carried around in their shuttle bay, that had so much mass that it could alter the course of the debris thanks to its gravitational pull? And without any sort of “anti-gravity-field” (which was presumably how they managed to transport it in the first place) sorrounding it? Nothing against a bit of tech-magic – it’s science-FICTION after all – but it really needs to adhere to its own in-universe laws, otherwise it becomes just the laziest of plot-devices. Returning to the point about conceptual problems though, there’s also a distinct conceptual improvement in S2. As writers and actors alike have already pointed out, the red bursts (or red angels) are a simple, but really effective vehicle to have the story evolve in a rather episodic fashion, but not forget about the big picture. And there was just a lot else to love in that episode, like the little bits of characterisation that we were fed on the fly and that led to some neat character interaction, like Burnham being a rather strict atheist thanks to her Vulcanian upbringing and Pike being more on the agnostic side (with a sci-fi spin on it, basically: “I know there’s stuff I can’t understand, but maybe highly advanced aliens can”). I know some of the faith vs. science stuff was very much on-the-nose, but whenever those issues came up during character interaction (rather than exposition, that is) it was really well done! The Saru/Tilly-interaction on the other hand struck a less cerebral and much more heartwarming note. And even though their closeness came a little bit out of the blue, the characters’ motivations were very clear and Saru came across as the experienced, considerate and competent officer he was always supposed to be! Tilly herself on the other hand … is starting to get a bit too “Wesley”, even though she got a little damper to her ambition this time around. Oh and I also quite liked how the “Mae”-character became more mysterious everytime she showed up – albeit not entirely unpredictably – until you just KNEW that something wasn’t quite right (or quite human, for that matter) about her , starting with her having that childlike voice and ultimately doing little else besides reflecting Tilly’s thoughts right back at her – it was… Read more »

Two of West Virginia’s largest gas producers, in separate cases, are trying to cement their practices into the state’s case law. Residents are hoping the cases help them preserve their lifestyle, and maybe get a share of the profits gas is generating.

A panel of judges who handle large-scale litigation in West Virginia ruled against the residents. They appealed.

“He’s not going to feel like a Pixar character would because I don’t think that’s the right aesthetic to make it feel like part of our world,” Miller added about another decision to give Sonic two eyes, even though in the course of the game, his two dimensional character is typically only ever seen with one.

I did like it that if they had to have religion that at least the local religion included seven major Earth religions, including Wicca.

A hilarious story about a former housewife in the 1950s who discovers she’s a dynamite stand-up comedian, there’s a reason "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" was recognized at the 2018 Golden Globes. It’s definitely worth checking out.

In July 1952, Lovick Law, sergeant-at-arms for the House of Delegates, had his badges and flowers adjusted by majorettes while attending the Virginia Democratic Convention in Roanoke. Law served the General Assembly from 1944 until he died the night before the opening session in 1960.
