There was an episode of DS9 (Hard Time) where O'Brien served a 20 year sentence like this.

Most likely there was a natural disaster of some sort that decimated the population. Disease, famine, drought, any major upset could cause a severe impact in an urbanized environment. Being unable to get enough food or water would cause a population to shift into other places.

It was once described as Introverts recharge their batteries by being away from people while extroverts charge their batteries by being with people. Neither type has any impact on social ablilities

So apparently that desktop background was actually a picture. Like a photographer took the shot and sold it to Microsoft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliss_(image)

Proceed to complete chastise everyone in the government because of how stupid they are to rely on grappling sword wielders when they have rifled artillery. Sure the back of the neck may be the only kill shot but a single properly penetrating round can blow out the back of the neck by entering through the front much easier than some slinging sword wielder.

Those sea squirts look like that. Others? Not so much. Some look even cooler and others like a brown or yellow blob.

They do actually see colors. It's just a limited spectrum. https://thebark.com/content/what-colors-do-dogs-see

I disagree. It is a good starter Anime though. It's still in my top ten but not my favorite. That rotates between Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, and Baby Steps depending on my mood. Other favourites include One Piece, Hunter X Hunter, One Punch Man, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Overlord.

Realistically? They're too big for many of the predators in their regions to hunt. They're docile, and not prone to quick sudden movements. They're warm.

I feel like guns would have made Harry Potter a lot shorter. Wizards had spells to throw objects at each other to hurt or distract them and a gun would have been extremely effective. Especially against the isolationist purebloods.

He also broke the trend. It was the trend at the time to use pop songs and other contemporary radio songs for a soundtrack. In fact he got some grief for not using the same formula prior the release of the first film.

Toast, I've always toasted them until they just turn brown. At that level they're slightly crispy on the outside but the inside is melted.

I like the carousel in 2 better.

It's amusing because he reacts at a personal level to things. A God level threat endangering all humanity is really just too big of a thing to truly understand so it just slides on by. It's also why he just runs around alot thrashing monsters as he comes across them. There is no big picture with him just the immediate.

Funny. True, but I didn't need a color test to tell me that.

Actually, I keep the death star in my back pocket. Don't want to carry too much in just the one.

It's just free penicillin.

I think this was discussed once about why we see college age or older acting as high school age. The gist was that good young actors are harder to come by and actors at college age and beyond tend to have more skill. So to fill parts it's just plain easier to get a bunch of okay college actors since their skill level is about the same as a really good younger actor. It can be done, all kinds of shows use actual kid actors but if you have an easier and possibly cheaper method producers will go for it.
