Thanks for linking. Was somewhat familiar, but it’s such an antiquated term, even from the time of the book’s publishing. Doesn’t read well in modern context.

That’s a truly rare perspective these days. Got a mild shade of “rustic living” as a Boy Scout some decades ago. Might not fare as well, but could certainly survive for a bit. The “be prepared” mantra keeps ringing in my head.

Not an avenue where I’d hoped to have common ground, but here we are.

Might qualify for the 3rd. Not an MD, but have plenty of specialized training.

Even so, just a topical meme I cranked out. Work and family are here. Gonna make the best of it, no matter how much I have to drink and watch Star Trek.

Mighty neighborly of ya, but my levels of familiarity are yet to drop quite to that position.

Always a tough question. TOS, while dated, is the primer. I grew up as TNG was airing. It’s janky and problematic until about the 3rd season. DS9 is the best of the best as far as I’m concerned, but it’s a slow burn to build the characters and get to the meat of the arching story. Of course, there’s a chronological approach, however, kinda messy.

Try out one for a few episodes, see what strikes your fancy.

Beginning to get the picture.

Hmm, can’t exactly go south either. So…

Appreciated. We all could do with a little better. In the meantime, we’ve got our escapism.

Latter part of the series gets… a little weird.

Yeah, that kinda shit hasn’t exactly aged well.
