I don't think so, but I do have very fond memories of playing a Trek game that I have not been able to identify despite quite a bit of searching.

Part of the problem was that I think my dad would get the game to a certain stage for me and then hand over the computer so I could fly around space and shoot things, so my memories are only of a very specific little bit of the game.

This would have been early to mid 90s, on a dual-boot machine, but I think I remember launching it in Linux?

If anybody has the faintest recollection of a 90s (or earlier) Trek game where you could fire phasers or photon torpedoes, and the photon torpedoes looked kind of like a pair of twinkling yellow stars, I would at least feel a little less crazy.

This is going to keep happening as long as governments keep outsourcing new "affordable" housing projects to developers.

It makes far more sense to me to administer the projects publicly and source materials and trades directly instead of through the obnoxious matryoshka middleman system that is public-private partnership.

Also we badly need to fucking build non-market housing.

I'd call it negligent, tbh. Especially since CBC has reported on it.

And here is a podcast by and about drug users where people speak about their experiences with the system in BC and elsewhere as is has been, is, and is becoming: https://www.crackdownpod.com/ Includes interviews with researchers and doctors.

I have found it extremely worthwhile and necessary listening, but it is heartwrenching.

Nothing about them without them.

"Ideally these involuntary treatments include housing treated people and assisting them in getting their own housing and employment."

...yeah but they won't, will they?

One of my favourite performances from VOY (S05E10 Counterpoint).

Hats off to the makeup team for that prosthetic- and to actor Randy Lowell.

There are multiple copies of this posted in the cabinet shop where I work. In Canada.
