star trek picard s3:e5 "imposters" - caffeinated thoughts & spoilers 

@f00fc7c8 I think Jack's thing is Borg related. Due to Locutus nanojizz in Picard's seed.

@ClarusPlusPlus Pontoons for water landing/takeoff, plus a davit and rigging on the bow to load/unload the helicopter onboard like a modern ship's lifeboat system.

@foone I have a hard time caring about ARM as an architecture, as well. I personally think the entire arch will be gone within a decade or two, probably replaced by RISC-V or another new ISA.

@nrmelnick All the time. I have at least 20-30 pieces in my collection that I have zero recollection of where/how I picked them up.

@xodium Gatekeepers of any level tick me off.

Everybody has a different definition of what is retro/vintage/old.

Just let people like things :)

@ukscone Not 100% monosyllabic, but I applaud the attempt lol.

Could make a neat spoken word piece over some smoky smooth jazz.

@Random_Seed I agree with Ron, probably $250-350 range, depending on your haggling skills and the seller's starting point.
