Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Alternatively:

oooOOOOoooo ooo ooo ooo OOOOOO!

Dana made me laugh and laugh.

ETA: First. And then Jesse did. Yep.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was trying to figure out how to do that and couldn't. Well done, Dana!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Alternatively:

Right. Mine was the Next Gen music, Jesse's was TOS.

You know the original series theme has words, right? Sung by Nichelle Nicholls? AWESOME.

Yeah, that wikipedia link says her version isn't the original lyrics. Which are also AWESOME.

Clearly. Y'all kick ass at ASCII humming.

Oooh, I only knew about the original lyrics.

Clearly is right.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I do think the framing of that article was a little overwrought.

Yeah, my read of it is that it's total old-school muckraking. They have several billion dollars invested in the market; it would be hard to avoid a polluter or a gas company (and, AFAIK, every gas company is in Nigeria, and Nigeria is awful) and still make a profit-- especially if you're hedging your investments.

ION, I cooked brunch and dinner tonight, mostly from recipes out of Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. Scrambled eggs were amazing. A broiled cornish game hen turned out surprisingly tasty despite spending a few years aging in my freezer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

it would be hard to avoid a polluter or a gas company

It would be interesting, however, to exercise some might along with investment dollars. From the sound of that article, for instance, the evil gas companies are going to break pollution laws. Does anyone have enough financial clout to encourage them to follow the rules?

You guys with the Star Trek theme--okay, it kinda worked.
