NC Trekker — actually there’s no canon violation there at all. At the end of The Cage, Vina is left with the illusion of Pike, and the illusion of her own crippled body restored. At the end of the Menagerie, they merely do not show us the last bit of what Pike originally saw (which is perfectly fine since the entire episode was abridged anyway). Instead, they show us that the real Pike has been given the illusion of perfect health and now replaces the illusion of himself Vina was originally left with.

“We have a pretty strong track record of staying on top of it,” said Hosinski, referring to how the agency deals with winter weather. She noted that the CTA performed strongly during the so-called “polar vortex” of 2014.

In March 1961, Robert K. Crowell, a teacher at George Wythe High School in Richmond, held his first class on communism. The six-week course was reported to be one of the first in the country and drew national attention from newspapers and television. Crowell said his method of teaching the class was to emphasize that communism was not merely an economic system “but a way of life.”

In June 1968, workers welded boilers at Old Dominion Iron and Steel Corp., located on Belle Isle under the Lee Bridge in Richmond. At the time, Old Dominion’s owner was interested in expanding operations, and the city was interested in using the island as part of a James River park. The company’s history on Belle Isle spanned from before the Civil War to the 1970s.

The formula for “Lucid Dreams” isn’t anything new — it pairs hazy production underlined by an acoustic guitar (borrowed from Sting’s “Shape of My Heart”) with dark lyrics about coping with a broken heart. What is new, though, is that a SoundCloud rapper found his way to top 40 radio (and hit No. 7 on Billboard’s Pop Songs chart) thanks to the song’s crossover appeal via its unusually melodic backbone and undeniably catchy chorus. Whether blaring through the speakers at a club or on headphones in your bedroom, “Lucid Dreams” is a speak-your-truth soundtrack for anyone’s half-conscious reality. – L.H.

Turns out Everest developer Solfar Studios has a bit of fight in it. In Death is one of the best medieval combat games for VR, Pitting you against hordes of ghouls, archers and demented knights that you’ll take down shot-by-shot with your trusty bow and arrow. There’s just a splash of Dark Souls to it, with an authentic atmosphere that really makes you feel like you’re storming an ancient fortress. This is another Early Access game that’s already justified a purchase, so we’re hoping Solfar builds a lot more into it in the coming months.

Eichelberger believes that in addition to helping people stay safe from volcanoes, magma research could be a stepping stone to a new kind of clean energy. Magma is far hotter than the rock around typical geothermal reservoirs, and it releases an extra burst of energy when it crystallizes, making it a superior thermal battery, according to Eichelberger. In the 1970s, the USGS tried to estimate how much energy was stored in molten and partially molten rock within a few miles of the surface. Those estimates contain a lot of uncertainty, noted Eichelberger, but if they’re correct, then the U.S. has hundreds to thousands of times as much energy in magma as is used by the entire country each year.

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

H3VR (yes this is the H3VR you keep reading about) has a simple mission at heart; to let you fire a heck of a lot of guns and make it all feel as authentic as possible. True, this might not be the most progressive use of VR, but you can’t deny it’s probably the most authentic and exhaustive library of firearms out there in the virtual world, and if shooting guns is your thing then is this probably the place to do it (real world or otherwise). It’s a sandbox of destruction that you’ll lose hours in.
