Sometimes it feels like they took every sci-fi book/movie/show that said "this thing would have such and such consequences for humanity, don't do this thing" and decided to do the thing.

'the ultimate computer' aka uncannily precise vision of the future in which starfleet wants to replace jim with ai but spock and bones are not having it

I am going feral at all the times ai is being a menace in this show and how accurate it is to the bs present we're living in

Paddy is a name. Patty is the meat in a burger.

Patty is short for Patricia. Paddy is short for Padraig / Patrick.

Irish beer is black or amber or golden, not green.

And may those who know Irish better than me (no great challenge) forgive me for mistakes in this.

Go raibh an bóthar réidh duit. Go raibh an ghaoth ar do dhroim. Go mbeadh an ghrian ar d’aghaidh. Go mbuailfimid le chéile arís i gcairdeas. Agus go dtí sin, oíche mhaith, ádh mór, Agus go rachadh do dhia leat.

May the road be smooth for you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warmly on your face. May we meet again in friendship. And until then, good night, good luck, And may your god go with you.

To one and all, let your day be as good as you hope it will be.

Lá Fheile Pádraig sona dhaoibh go léir.
