I mean, compare Foundations of Rome to Foundations of Metropolis. I think 'Rome' is a great example of these niceties taken to excess, whereas Metropolis is easier to fit - on your shelf and in your budget.

I think the pairing shows that the answer can be (or, before the tarrifs, could have been) both, but the way the industry and expectations moved, your 'Wingspan' example became Standard, rather than Deluxe.

The third I'd add to this list is Measure of a Man. I think between the three you get a good sense of how Starfleet thinks of itself and others.

I just got back from effectively 17 weeks of paternity leave- my company provides 12 weeks (or they did last year when I started, it's now only 8), and then I had 5 weeks of PTO, sick time, and floating holidays.

Take all the time you have. Easily the best decision I've made for the past few years. Not only does it remove the "did I get enough sleep during the night" stress, but the time I spent with our new child was amazing.

I'm an software engineering lead for a team of 8, they did fine without me. The boat's still floating, as it were.

What kind of word puzzles?

I enjoyed the remaster, although I've only played the original once or twice. What about it did you find "kind of butchered"?

Just a tad before 3 minutes into 'Hey Jude', you can hear someone deep in the mix say, "Oh, bloody hell".
