But what does Discovery have to do with Star Trek?
[Edit]
It's a great trailer.
But the best praise this old-time Trekker can give Discovery is that I'm ready to pretend the first two seasons never happened.

I hope, at the least, that you're not a fan of Capt Mommy and Voyager.
That would be (like everything else) and anomaly!

I wouldn't call myself a fan, but at least it didn't pretend to [rant deleted]
I'm not gonna go there. It's all been discussed to death elsewhere, I'm sure.

Have you seen Lower Decks? Not very Trek like and won't appeal to most I think.

It looks like the same cr@p as the first two seasons. More cr@p I don't need to waste time watching.
I want a proper Star Trek that is more subtle with its messaging and a Spock that isn't emotional and doesn't have a sister.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Even in the trailer they spend time discussing how morally correct they are and how important the "people" are. Ah bullshit, just shoot the bastards, blow em up.
Yeah I know I'm shallow like that.

Yeah, the UK had a 3.3 yesterday: Earthquake hits towns in Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire[^]
It's the End of the World I tell you! The Mayans were right all along with what they saw in the bible!

Amazing! Did you feel it?

I don't think most people near it felt anything to be honest. 3.3 is just the Earth having a stretch and going back to sleep.
We had a 4.4 near us in 2018, and all that happened was a loose slate slid of the roof.

It's not far away from me and didn't feel a thing. However it was a major event in Leighton Buzzard; apparently some wheelie bins fell over and in the library, some books slipped on the shelves. Chaos.

Are you sure it just wasn't just a little gas or maybe a rather large belch?

At least they figured out what it was promptly.
Maybe 5 or 10 years ago, I was visiting my parents for a few days over the Christmas holiday; and the lead story on the Pittsburgh TV News one night was: "Mysterious explosion rattles Philly neighborhood earlier today, cops searching for answers".
The next night the lead story was "Philly had a m2.5ish earthquake yesterday".
I'm not sure who laughed harder when I shared that, my other friends from Pittsburgh over how stupid Philly people are; or my friends in California over the idea that a quake that small was worth any mention at all. 🤣🤣🤣
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Seriously. This could easily have been confused with just a truck going by.
Not that I live in an area that commonly has quakes of any significance.

Which is why my friends all engaged in such vicious mockery of the incident.

There are about 100,000 of these a year. If its less than magnitude 5, they don't even bother reporting them in Israel.

I set on my merry way ... eluding, I thought, the KGB agents following me ...
Thought I'd see if the old Line, Ellipse, Rectangle VBPPk controls could still be used in the latest VS and C#: so I kissed the GitHub stone, and added the references to a WinForm project.
Damndumbed if I could get a Click, or MouseDown, EventHandler to fire at run-time from a Shape.
So, I just rolled my own UserControl, and set its region to a circle: damndumbed if I could get a Click, or MouseDown. to fire at run-time. Well, I remembered some previous problems reported with Mouse Events in a UserControl: I added a Label to the UserControl: damndumbed if I could get a Click, or MouseDown, to fire at run-time.
Okay, so I defined a Component inheriting from Button, and did the region voodoo: damndumbed if I could get a Click, or MouseDown, to fire at run-time.
Now, beginning to feel the disorienting effects of what the KGB put in my vegan smoothie at the airport ... but, unable to remember which airport ...
I put a plain old Button on the Form: damndumbed if I could get a Click, or MouseDown, to fire at run-time.
So, I tried contacting the Microsoft Poison Control Center, but, they said they couldn't understand my Russian ...
In desperation, I removed the VBPPk references, and all code related to them: damndumbed if I could get a Click, or MouseDown, to fire at run-time from a plain old button, or label.
Opened an old project, and confirmed Button, Label, MouseEvents worked as expected.
I grabbed one of the three blind mice dancing on the top of my head, and ate it.
Suddenly, everything changed: now, several hours later, I feel restored to my normal psychotic state.
Knowing I can blame VBPPk, instead of the KGB, is a big relief.
p.s. this may be hallucinatory ... but, on a 4k 15.6 inch laptop screen set below 4k resolution, drag-dropping one of the VB Shapes onto a Form actually shifts the screen resolution in a way it is impossible to precisely position the Shape: you click back on the Form, and where the Shape was changes as the screen snaps back to your standard resolution.
