Traffic signs aren’t usually so emotionally aware.

GPS is the devil’s treasure map. I googled the nearest intersection like our forefathers’ forefathers did.

To redeem myself, I went back:

I’m sitting on it behind the camera. I failed at the internet :(

But here’s the bike on today’s journey:

Was there an aromatic scent in the air, OP?

A perfume of a million plants getting it on. I can’t confirm whether eucalyptus was in there.

I don’t know what kind of tree, but it’s Northern/Coastal California.

Like “Exploding Bird of Prey”, the “Flying Klingon” clip is originally from The Undiscovered Country.

The rug really ties the room together.

It would be a privacy nightmare, of course. Either we would all have to install monitoring software on our devices, or we would have to allow ISPs to break HTTPS.

Any military intervention into North Korea would have to be a joint effort by the USA and China. Neither power would tolerate the other moving troops into North Korea unilaterally.

Secondly, even a successful intervention would be a humanitarian crisis that would require a decades-long commitment by the powers involved.

And finally, North Korea has nukes. Any intervention would start off in a mad scramble to destroy, capture, or neutralize North Korea launch sites, and then to secure any surviving warheads.

This also partly explains why other countries are willing to send aid. Nobody wins if North Korea collapses.

Quiet, she’ll hear you!

My child, that’s not really fair. Winn was ambitious and power-hungry, yes, and that made her corruptible, true, but that’s not the same as being evil. I also think she redeemed herself at the end, using her last breath to tell the Emissary how to defeat the Pah Wraiths.
