Also just throwing this out there: I run a Discord called The Spicy Web that really is about learning and building stuff with the fundamentals, even for old-timers like myself (but all the more for newbies! So much advice out there is about pulling in tons of opinionated tools and dependencies, even when you don't need them…). At any point if you want to bounce ideas or questions off folks in real-time, check it out!

The Spicy Web
I disagree. The fundamentals of the web specs are more important than ever, and many projects don't even need a frontend framework.
This episode knocked it out of the park. In a season that's been a wee bit hit and miss IMHO (compared to S1), seeing such depth and pathos in a story which could have been handled in a heavy-handed way otherwise, well it's very satisfying.

Andrew Probert: two Enterprises and a DeLorean in the résumé

My two favorite "vehicles" in all of fandom are the Enterprise-D and the BTTF DeLorean. And what do you know, Andrew Probert had a significant hand in designing both, as well as the first updated Enterprise in Star Trek: TMP. Here's a cool interview with Andrew from back in 2001.

Trek Brasilis International -- Welcome to a different Star Trek website!

I don't think I've ever screamed so loud at my TV before. I was loosing my shit at this moment. I was stunned. What a high. Possibly one of the best memories of fandom I have in my life now.
Hearing Picard simply snarl Q! in that grumpy Patrick Stewart manner is the greatest.
I love the character of Quark, but let's be honest. Guinan is the better bartender, if you're just a regular Starfleet officer looking to down a pint of syntheholic ale.
Only "mildly" infuriating??
Loving it so far! I posted some initial thoughts here on Mastodon.

Kudos to the #BearApp devs for an awesome v2. This has been my favorite place to author content and save ideas related to that content for quite some time now, and it's only gotten that much better. Being able to pick custom fonts is fantastic (finally I can use my favorite grungy typewriter font!), and support for tables and backlinks is most appreciated. I also use #CraftApp, but mainly for a knowledge wiki. I may start to lean more on Bear now that it's a bit more powerful.

Weird that they'd bother to take the tame using an accent for "Café" but then misspell Coffee! 😅
