    Nice! I am west end / Parkdale-adjacent. I’ve been renting for a long time in this place, and it’s an older building, so the property management probably hate me and my rent-controlled ass.

    I did actually play STO briefly in the early 2010s, but don’t think I encountered any stories involving the Dyson Sphere. It’s cool that they picked up on it in a quasi-canonical way. I do wish TNG returned to the sphere in the series run, though. I’m surprised Berman didn’t tackle it in an episode of Enterprise, although they would’ve made that a season long arc, and it would have turned out the sphere builders were actually the descendants of Porthos (who became enlightened and sentient beings after all of the space-cheese Porthos ate) who travelled into the distant past to build the sphere. Or it would end up being a Barclay holodeck simulation, one or the other.

    Hey, whether Ripley’s or Hanlans there’s usually a lot of stuff to look at 😂

      Similar sort of deal for me. My landlord is my roommate but she’s been here for ages and is also rent controlled. Gets it dirt cheap. Even with ODSP I’m still able to afford half the rent and be fine. Mostly because the rent, while being so cheap, also includes utilities (minus internet). I don’t want to leave this place.

      I would totally be down for a Porthos focused series of animated shorts or something. I miss that adorable bastards. Captains need to have more pets.

      Difference is that at Ripley’s i’m looking at Marine Life. At Hanlans i’m the marine life in the form of a beached whale. Everyone else pretty though.
