I have been feeling the same, and I'm in the same situation on all accounts. I think it may be all that has been going on the past months is just starting to now manifest itself in these feelings. I also noticed that in instances where

I'm in the same boat, no family or friends to share with. It's been a wet and dreary day here in NJ, spent all of it outside. The sun came out for a few minutes, and grabbed a steak from the freezer. It's gone away again now,

Perhaps the subtitle is off by a factor of ten (or multiple)? It would seem more reasonable to have issues at 15,000km (although still disappointing), or even moreso at 150,000km.

Fully agreed. I work in such a job (laborer), and the only thing I can figure is that giving office workers extra time off has less of an impact, whereas giving laborers off would affect production/output/service/whatever. We

Imagine you use that last screwdriver, and a job needs to get done, and your car won't start so you can't get a new one at a hardware store outside of walking or cycling distance. And now you're unable to repair a vital syste

Thanks for this. Finally another question I've pondered from time and again is answered. Living in NYC all my life, I knew about the system, and who used it. I was always curious about why the system would be vented (other than a leak)

We're surpassing the fatalities by number, but the U.S. population is greater than it was in 1918. Percentages would be a better comparison, but I guess that doesn't create the desired (sensationalist) effect.

I'll have to try it out over a cool weekend. Thanks! Needless to say it'd be me making them, and not a bagel making GF, so... the jealousy still stands ;)

Pretty cool work, and just as cool of a background story. Being from the bagel capital (NYC), a bit jealous you have a bagel making girlfriend. ;) Hope to see great progress in the future!

I think that worked because it didn't consume the show. The Dominion existed, but not every episode was centered around that war. The show remained pretty much episodic, with reminders of "hey, we have this going on", without
