I agree; I've noticed that with art like this a big part of the experience is being able to take in a lot of different angles and decide how to view it. I never thought Jackson Pollock paintings were interesting in photos, but when I got to see one in person the texture and depth from different angles made it a totally different experience.

This is kind of off topic, but I want to make sure to note that Death Valley is more than just heat! It's one of my favorite places to visit so I can't resist soapboxing a little when it comes up. I've only ever visited in the colder season, which is what most people do.

When I first visited Racetrack Playa there I laughed the whole time because it's so amazing and strange. (It's the place with rocks that leave zigzagging trails through the desert which were unexplained until pretty recently.) You can also hike the canyon where R2D2 is kidnapped in the original Star Wars, visit abandoned mining towns, climb the sand dunes, look over the valley from mountains that stay much cooler than the lower parts of the park... The variety is incredible! Highly recommend if you ever find yourself nearby when it's not too hot.

Adam Pranica is that you???

Carlsberg has a special place in my heart because on a trip to Malawi (Sub-Saharan Africa, not Hawaii) it was the only beer available most places. The best part was that all the Carlsberg ads on the bars and shops said "Probably the best beer in the world," like they weren't really sure.

My pet theory is that bad episodes are at least two of the following:

-dumb

-boring

-cheap

This one and the warp 10 lizard sex episode from Voyager are extremely dumb, but I love them because they're definitely not cheap/low-effort or boring. (But if someone did find it boring I would understand them calling it a bad episode.)

From looking at All I definitely agree. Feed curation seems like the answer, but I haven't found enough active communities for the kind of variety I want, and All feels like the right place to look for more.

Fortunately the Star Trek memes here are hot enough to melt dilithium crystals, and that's all I really need!

I would put my money on the anomaly somehow chasing Boims to the 24th century Cerritos.

That has to be right! Worf would absolutely listen to the emo version, and he's probably just calling K-Pop "opera" to impress Picard and the other 90s-Trek captains.
