I don't know the music video, but this might help: Wikipedia - Recursive islands and lakes.

Oh, cool. I never knew about that. Thanks.

You said Type-1 (the compact, key fob looking TOS phaser), but linked a picture to the TOS Type-2 (the pistol). Which did you prefer?

I love the concept of the Type-1, and it would definitely be my favorite pick of the phasers based on function. But for how it looks, I like how the TNG Type-2 kinda blended the TOS Type-1 concept as a tool, but sized it up to the TOS Type-2 pistol in size. Best of both worlds. Still feels like a tool, but more power drill, less garage door opener or handgun.

EDIT: my autocorrect kept messing up the link.

I want to toss the Type-2 phaser from Star Trek (circa 24th century) as my personal favorite. It has this design which reads as a tool more than a weapon, which I love.

Practice, I guess?

To combat jet lag, or otherwise reset your sleep schedule if it has drifted...

  1. Go 24 hours without eating.

  2. Go to bed early enough to make sure you get 8-10 hours before you normally want to wake up.

  3. Using an alarm, wake up a bit earlier than you usually want to wake up.

  4. Make a big breakfast, eating when you normally want to wake up.

Now your body will have reset its circadian rhythm, and you'll naturally wake up at that time.

If the big bang had never occurred, queer.af would never have died.

Ergo: big bang killed queer.af.

QED

They almost certainly picked it just for the joke.

queer.af = Queer AF = Queer as fuck!

It's like how popular the TLD of Guernsey (.gg) is with gaming websites.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even realize what country code the TLD was when they registered it.

I will never understand how someone reconciles conservative politics with being a Star Trek fan. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

It should have an option to add an event to your calendar.
