star trek picard (season 1)
What I don't mind: when writers create a narrative that actually feels organic and doesn't rely in every single trope in the book to make a good story.
What Star Trek Picard does: I can literally hear the writers laying pipe for every damn thing that happens in this story and it's everything I can do to give a shit.

Only $94 until I have to come up with orc recipes.
No, not how to cook orc. Stuff orcs cook. To eat.
And cherries. Cherries are orcish.

Calling it now:
My next tech book (OpenBSD Mastery: Filesystems) won't be available on Kindle. You'll find print at Amazon, but the ebook will be available everywhere EXCEPT Amazon.
Why? They're requiring me to screw my readers. I won't do it.
The attention to detail is great, I listed a bunch in the image alt text.
Now the
Rothney Astrophysical Observatory
Baker-Nunn telescope was never designed for colour imaging (the imager is buried deep inside the telescope). So to do colour, we use theatrical gels large enough to cover the entire 0.5m aperture. We then get the R, G, and B channels from that. (eye contact in one pic)
