It’s not necessarily how far things are, it’s that you need a car to get to places in a sensible way.

I’m a fellow Brit, but have stayed in suburban US enough to have experienced how different it is. You might have a supermarket a couple of miles away, but if you want to attempt to walk there, you’ll often be going well out of your way trying to find safe crossing points or even roads with paved sidewalks.

Train stations are mostly used for cargo in most US cities. If you don’t have a car, you’re pretty much screwed.

Some cities are different. NYC being the obvious one. You can get about there by public transport pretty easily in most places there. San Francisco is another city that is more doable without a car, but more difficult than NYC.

I stayed near Orlando not too long ago and there it’s just endless surburban housing with shops and malls dotted about mostly along the sides of main roads. You definitely need a car there.

Apparently it’s because CrowdStrike installed their device driver as one that must start when Windows starts.

I’ve linked to the specific time where he explains that issue, but tbh the whole video is worth watching.

And at this point, the extended crew of the Discovery was thoroughly sidelined: Burnham’s personal relationships took priority over everything else.

This is the part that I’ve never got on well with in Discovery.

In TNG, it’s not a show about Picard, or Riker, or any of the other individuals. It’s a show about the crew. I’ve even seen it said that the actual star of the show is the ship.

Whereas, with Disco, it’s a show about Michael Burnham and everyone else has a bit part. That always felt weird for a Star Trek show. I want to see how the crew works together to solve problems and overcome things with everyone on an equal footing regardless of their rank in the show.

And I think that’s why there was such a warm reception to season 3 of Picard. It brought the crew back together. Picard alone isn’t satisfying enough. What we wanted was him as part of the crew.

Same, using Chat GPT 4. It explained the steps without prompting, which is different from the single line answer shown in the post too. I got this…

Let’s break this down step by step:

1. Sally has 3 brothers.
2. Each of those brothers has 2 sisters.

Sally is one of those sisters for each of her 3 brothers. Therefore, the second sister that each brother has would be the same other sister.

This means that Sally has only 1 other sister, making a total of 2 sisters in the family (including Sally herself).

So, Sally has 1 sister.
