I met my fiancee at 31, and I only had one real relationship before that and was single for over 10 years. Just because you’ve been unsuccessful so far doesn’t mean you’re forever alone.

Chemical castration is a pretty extreme reaction. I would suggest you interrogate why you want to do this, like at the deepest levels. Removing your libido won’t keep you from being lonely.

You say you were in therapy for 7 years. What kind? Was it all with the same therapist? Maybe you need a different therapist, or perhaps an actual psychiatrist or psychologist, or to try a different form of therapy. There’s lots of things to try.

You say you’ve been unsuccessful in dating. What does that mean? You’re focusing on your libido, so does that mean you’re having trouble getting sex, specifically? Is that all you’re focused on in dating? If so, maybe you need to change your approach to dating.

Of course, he doesn’t even need to add a “bat” prefix to the name, it’s the perfect weapon for him!

Can’t tell if serious or sarcasm

This has to do with how the eggs are sanitized before they’re sold. In places where you need to keep them refrigerated, they’ve been washed in such a way that a protective layer has been removed. In countries that keep their eggs on the counter, this has not been done.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, right near the end. I don’t want to spoil too much, but I never thought a game mechanic would make me emotional.

Me too. But I’ll just note, I think you have to have played the first Spiderman game and Miles Morales to really get it. It needs that emotional build up over time.

If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.

Stuart Semple hates Anish Kapoor. He hates him so much that he requires those who purchase his paints to sign that they are not Anish Kapoor, are not buying them for Anish Kapoor, and will do everything they can to make sure they do not end up in the possession of Anish Kapoor.

Basically, physics says that nothing, not even information can actually travel faster than the speed of light. It’s a universal limit that shows up when you do the math on relativity. This concept is called “causality”.

Because of this, FTL communication is probably impossible. Quantum entanglement seems like it could provide a loophole, but it doesn’t actually work that way. To actually use quantum entanglement for communication, it actually needs a confirmation message, which would have to be delivered by a different means (every quantum message needs a non-quantum confirmation). That confirmation would be bound by the speed of light, thus preserving causality.

This is a very very rough description based on my memory, so some details may be a little off, but it should cover the gist. This article goes into more detail:

Edit: After reading, the answer is more that attempting to impart information onto the entangled particles to send a message necessarily breaks the entanglement and thus does not transmit the information to the other side. Entangling the particles makes their states related to each other, but only at the time of entanglement, and anything that changes either particle (including measuring it) will break the entanglement going forward.

Yeah, I think in terms of a regularly scheduled passenger transport, something like a runabout or even larger could be considered a “shuttle” by civilian standards.

I got a closeup of the plaque. I imagine it’s the same one in the series, as most of the bridge is the exact set from Picard.

That’s a nice bag!

I made a Voyager jacket (the separate variant that Janeway wears a handful of times) and I just put on a pair of black slacks as pants so I’d have pockets. Worked out pretty nice.

They had somebody taking pictures as we came in, but I lost the card they gave us so those pics are gone forever.

That spot was self-service when I got there, people were just taking turns taking pictures for people.

I know the VIP tickets got semi-private guided tours, I wonder if they got extra time for photos as part of that.

I went a few weeks ago, it was an awesome experience! My biggest disappointment was simply that the experience was so rushed and we didn’t get enough time to appreciate being on the bridge.

I was wearing a Voyager uniform with Captain’s pips, and one of the actors said “Glad to have you aboard, Captain,” which absolutely made my night.
