Can I be educated as to what Star Trek Returns is? Is it different to the 2013 to 2017 fan series Star Trek Continues?

Canadians not so nice after all ๐Ÿ˜œ (I also think it was added in post though)

I know what you're getting at ๐Ÿ˜†

Decilitre is actually the common unit for drinks in Hungary (and possibly in other countries). Hungarians also use dekagramm, which is 10 grams. But the cool thing about metric is that to convert, you just move the decimal around!

The French actually tried it, here's the Wikipedia article.

A more reasonable thing to do is something like Swatch Internet Time, you get 1000 ".beats" in a day with no time zones. Beyond a day it might not be too helpful to keep decimal, there will be 365+fraction days a year no matter how you measure it.

I had the opposite problem, I brought a soldering iron from Europe to Canada, and despite using a step up transformer, it just couldn't get hot enough to melt the solder!

Looks good! Bookmarked for future reference.

I wouldn't say pale in comparison. Enterprise was really good in my opinion. Lower Decks and Prodigy too, these are a bit different, but have the same spirit I think.

I also rewatch The Original Series episodes every once in a while. The show as a whole is not really good by modern standards, but it has gems and it's interesting to see where it all began.

Every show except Discovery has a balance of great episodes, filler episodes, and bad episodes. Discovery was bad from A to Z.

Yeah, probably. But just another "what if" scenario...

Yeah sure, that's why the list is sorted from most egregious to least.

A two party system is a band-aid solution to the gashing wound that is first-past-the-post.
