It's really a shame just how many anti-capitalists are out there spending their time and their voice trying to predict just how soon #capitalism will fail. It's already failed! I am more anti-capitalist than most, but I do not see capitalism going anywhere anytime soon. There is nothing wrong with being a realist.
I come across so many articles online where the pipe dreams of anti-capitalists are really no different than all the tone deaf articles that #capitalism will save the world. There is so much bad writing online. It is my belief that is why #academics need to worry less about publications and see blogging as a public service.
This is still early enough in the series that Garrett Wang had not yet found a way to express Harry Kim's character, or, at least he still seems uncomfortable acting. Still very much a novice. But that didn't last long. Garrett Wang perfected the character quickly. #AllStarTrek@allstartrek
"Eye of the Needle" stands out in #StarTrekVoyager because they show Kate Mulgrew in a nighty with her hair down and that is with Kate Mulgrew's insistence that a strong women leader need not be sexualized, hence Kate's conflict with Jeri Ryan. This is the only time in the 7 seasons of Voyager that they got away with attempting to make Kate sexually appealing. Kate Mulgrew did a great job preventing them from doing that. A true feminist. #AllStarTrek@allstartrek
Alexander may not be a warrior, but I think he does prove that he is brave. In J. G. Hertzler's DS9 books, Left Hand of Destiny, Books 1 and 2, Alexander has developed a great deal. And in a short amount of time.
Seeing Dukat try to give Kira a dress makes me think of the documentary, What We Left Behind, where Marc Alaimo says that Dukat desired Kira and he desired Nana Visitor. Marc Alaimo said it in a really sleazy way, too. It was very much in the spirit of Dukat. #AllStarTrek@allstartrek
I love this scene. It was brilliant writing. Rozhenko being confused by a simulation and then fooling the entire bridge that they were under attack. Brilliant. And hilarious. #AllStarTrek@allstartrek
My host informed me that it is possible to integrate #Cloudflare into my websites to take the pressure off my hosting account CPU (if I understand this correctly), which is already high because I upgraded my services to prevent problems with my websites not loading. It only happens every once in a while, but still.
I thought Cloudflare would be used before hosting, not after. So I am very confused. Going to take a while to wrap my head around this.
@Richard cloudflare is a ‘Proxy’. That means it sits between your server and your visitors’ browser.
It inspects every request it receives, and gives one of two answers:
A) ‘oh, I know what that page looks like, because I just served it to someone else 5 seconds ago. Here it is’. This will mean your server never sees that request, and can therefore save some cpu cycles.
B) ‘huh. I don’t remember that request. Let me ask the server‘ then remembers the server’s response and returns it to your visitors.
As long as a significant portion of your requests fall into category A you are relieving pressure from your server.
As such it can be activated (and deactivated) at any time during your site’s lifecycle.
Keep in min when you activate it, it may take 24-48hr to see any effect on the server. (And if there aren’t enough requests in category A you may not see any improvement at all, although there are all sorts of settings to tweak to help)
Hope that helps, but feel free to ask questions if you have any.
