We never find out exactly what happens to Benny Russell beyond this point, as after the breakdown occurs, Captain Sisko wakes up. Back on Deep Space 9, it seems as if his experiences as Benny Russell were all just a fantasy.

Yes, we do. He ends up in an asylum. He is shown briefly while Sisko approaches the Orb of the Emissary.

Bitcoin is deflationary. There is a hard limit on the total number of bitcoins that will ever exist. Every so often, the reward for mining a block is halved. Eventually there will be effectively zero reward for mining at all.

That might have been true a decade ago. But GPUs and FPGAs have long been obsolete for mining Bitcoin.

Mining is happening on custom silicon in large-scale operations. They specifically observed several of those large-scale operations in multiple nations and extrapolated out. I don’t see how that methodology is flawed.

…I didn’t believe you. I had to look it up to confirm it.

Damn. Never even noticed.

I asked DALLE-2 for a “wide shot of a delivery driver in a Louisiana bayou with bagged food” and it gave me this:

That’s certainly a fascinating way to interpret “bagged food.”

Clearly if the architects had seen [any] [sci-fi] [ever] they would have come up with the idea to shunt that excess energy into ad-hoc shields for poor Ensign Redshirt.

Okay, I didn’t expect all of the examples to be from Stargate. But they certainly like that trope.

It’s particularly jarring that they get it right in some episodes and wrong in others. Might make a good drinking game.

Some may suggest that since it was caught during dailies and intentionally left in, then it should stay as it always was.

Others may suggest that if modern technology were around back then, it would have been fixed in post; so why not let that happen now?

For that specific example, I’d probably argue for leaving it alone.

And then they had the audacity to do it again in season 3 of Picard!

In a world of “humanoid/android/AI/chair/lawnmower explores what it means to be human” it was very refreshing to see “human raised as not-human explores what it means to be human.”

It was nice to see them subvert the typical “the entire quadrant/galaxy/universe is at stake” trope.
