Personally, I hope Jay-Den and Darem become/stay close friends. I think boys and men need more close, intimate, platonic friendships as a whole.

The change in Darem was the whole point of the Calica/prank episode. He went from needing to be the best (because of his parent issues) to apologizing to Genesis, supporting her as their team leader (with the prank as well), and telling his parents he's found another way.

With the Miyazaki episode, he immediately gave Genesis credit for the idea of how to find the cloaked ship, and while he didn't have lines for it, when she was getting frustrated with the search, his body language and gestures were essentially encouraging her.

Yes, even cheap clip on ones from a hardware store will do it. They also provide eye strain relief from watching tv and screen time, too

Hello Karim, what are you most recommended/most stay-away-from-this experiences in Toronto (and area) so far?

If in doubt, you can check your immunity along your normal bloodwork. I asked my doc to check, it was just an extra requisition/vial.

I had to get the full dose (two shots, not just a booster of one) because I had no immunity, even though I had both shots as a child. Immunity can wane over decades.

As a childless adult, it's my duty to be part of other people's lives and support families by being a trusted adult (trusted by parents and kids) and be a good role model for others' kids.

Why? Because we live in a society. Today's kids are tomorrow's adults. There are, unfortunately, a lot of terrible social influences out there, and parents can't battle society alone. Young boys and girls need to learn and develop healthy relationships with men and women alike, beyond just their parents, in order to have something to model themselves after and to learn how to treat others with love and respect.

And this is especially so for singletons. A lot of the bad and warped ideas about "relationships" and even self-esteem comes from unhealthy views of romantic relationships. Ideas like if you're not good enough if you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Or ideas that men and women cannot "only" be friends (objectification of other sex). Ideas that men are owed relationships and sex by women (incels). Ideas that it's better to be with a bad partner than to be single (abuse).

Parents can't fight all of that on their own.

I, for one, am a fan of bringing back the ascot. (but perhaps not during the height of the summer months.)

I understand where you're coming from, but, to put it plainly, this show is not meant for you. Media reflects the times; Enterprise is the way it was because of 9/11. Academy is for the young people of today have grown up in and are facing an increasingly bleak and hostile future. They will have to fight for a better future, because the one that is being handed to them is a dumpster fire. A show that shows them a better future is attainable and models how to do it is what they need, not a fantasy that is unobtainable.

It's possible for the switch behind the knob to fail. They're called selector switches or rotary switches (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=stove+rotary+switch). In my case, some plastic from the casing melted and became a conductor, so the element could not be turned down or turned off. This is also an easy replacement.

Turn off the breaker, unplug from outlet, open up the back of the stove/oven (take a pic or mark the wires to remember where they go), remove the offending switch and look for a model number on it so you can search for and order a replacement online. All I needed was a phillips screwdriver. You can still use the rest of the stove top elements without the broken switch until your replacement arrives.

It gets better... In the fifth and final season.

There were actors and characters I really liked (Doug Jones, Michelle Yeoh, Jason Isaacs top that list), but the stories... Fortunately, I think every NuTrek series is better than Discovery and I like them all in their own way. The biggest appreciation I have for Discovery is that it made the way for all the others that followed.

Except Section 31, that was pretty bad.

ICE is even killing white American citizens in broad daylight while being recorded. You're right that they should be recognizing treaties, but we should also be recognizing the reality that that's something beyond America's grasp right now, and that no one, but especially "exception" cases who are visibly non-white, should be going to the US for their own safety.
