  • I live in a city where property values have increased by an order of magnitude over about 40 years.

    Yes, we have a lot of speculators and wealthy landowners who need to be taxed out of existence.

    But we also have a problem where seniors on fixed incomes who have owned their homes for 30 - 50 years cannot afford their property taxes because the land their homes are sitting on has exploded in value.


  • I don’t think so, but I do have very fond memories of playing a Trek game that I have not been able to identify despite quite a bit of searching.

    Part of the problem was that I think my dad would get the game to a certain stage for me and then hand over the computer so I could fly around space and shoot things, so my memories are only of a very specific little bit of the game.

    This would have been early to mid 90s, on a dual-boot machine, but I think I remember launching it in Linux?

    If anybody has the faintest recollection of a 90s (or earlier) Trek game where you could fire phasers or photon torpedoes, and the photon torpedoes looked kind of like a pair of twinkling yellow stars, I would at least feel a little less crazy.
