Data was a person, to the extent that there was a very famous episode exploring defining him as such. He may have been a machine, but he had clear free will and was capable of thinking for himself, to the extent that the Federation even at their level of technology at the time had no idea how to make another one of him. He was not made specifically to fill a Starfleet uniform, either -- Enrolling in Starfleet academy was his idea and he earned his commission just like everybody else. That's not something a toaster would do, no matter how complicated of a little song it can beep.
The existing crew of the Enterprise certainly knew this having already served with him for some time, several of them having their asses saved by him personally, and one of said asses also having been tapped.
I imagine Sales(tm) would not manage to clear that bar, and Pulaski would have no idea either way (unless maybe she were thoroughly briefed).
$0.50 per kWh is absurd. Where we are, the power company charges $0.1065 on peak and $0.1001 off. (As in, about a dime.)
Note that this is still about 33% more than at the start of the pandemic. We were around $0.07 per kWh prior to 2021.
People are going to see this, so here's the answer.
Logitech's web UI is crap. See that tiny, unlabled triangle on the list on the left?
Click it and pick your OS version.
Then you get the download.
The game was, you'd put one kid in the middle and then everybody else would do their level best to spin the damn thing so fast it would either drill into the Earth's mantle or take off like a helicopter.
It's only a shame she didn't make him think he was a frog.
But then, Trump is really already kind of a toad.
Random unordered list of cheap fountain pens that I know to be halfway decent:
The Lamy Joy, Safari, and Al-Star may also fit your needs but are likely outside your budget. Lamy pens have very easily interchangeable nibs so you're not locked into whatever width you started with forever which is nice if you decide you'd like a broader or narrower point later and you won't have to buy a whole new pen. The Joy is also a calligraphy pen but has that elongated dip pen/quill shape. You could kit it with a normal nib if you wanted; I think a Lamy Fine or Medium nib would meet your line width requirement.
If you really, really want to have the quill pen experience you can get a dip pen. These will require you to be tethered to an inkwell at all times. The Speedball nib holder sets are ubiquitous and very inexpensive, and can be had easily at most arts and crafts stores. A dizzying array of different nibs are available for these which are very easily changed and extremely cheap.
You should post it somewhere else just to spite them. Peertube, Odysee, or whatever. Or post the fucker to the Pirate Bay.
The old Grumman LLV's are also ugly as hell. We just got used to them over the decades.
The same thing will happen with these eventually.
