Not a millennial either.
I work from home. While I'm pretty much always awake at 6, I certainly don't get up at that time.
That said, if I had to commute (and I've done it for plenty of years), I'd probably negotiate so I can arrange my schedule so I'm at the office before morning rush hour (which starts before 6)--then leave before the evening rush hour.

Agreed that it might be the case for some, but then again - The bad example usually don't represent the masses. Of course it's nice to be able to show up at the office between 8 and 11 - But if the person enjoying this freedom isn't performing as expected, and unable to show up at 7 on that *one* day it is necessary: Fire them. With actual fire.

Looks like there's a new TNG movie coming out.

According to the video blurb, it's a series, not a movie:
Quote: ... to announce that he's going to reprise his role as Captain Picard in a new Star Trek series for CBS.
There are new movies coming out as well: "Star Trek 4" in the Abramsverse, and a Quentin Tarantino one.
Plus some other TV series - the awful-sounding "Starfleet Academy" one; one based around Khan; a mysterious "limited series" that nobody seems to know anything about yet; and a new animated series.
Also rumours of a new stand-alone Star Trek-related trilogy from Nicholas Meyer, but that could be scuppered by the CBS / Paramount legal battles.

While I hope for the best in that it will be the classic Star Trek we used to love I cannot help but remember that the fan-made projects and Seth MacFarlane have been doing a better job of portraying the Star Trek universe than CBS and Paramount have in the last decade.

Hopefully Stewart carries enough weight to tell the writers what they're doing is crap, if it comes to that.
If he's been in talks with The Powers That Be for over 6 months, as he claims in the video, I suspect he's not going to put up with garbage. So...I remain cautiously optimistic.

was looking at these things, still either too expensive or if cheap just garbage. yeah the expensive ones are OK for what I want, but I'd rather something simpler (thus cheaper) than having 200 extra features that I'll never use.
and I'm a short sleeve person, really don't want something that looks like a stupid hospital bracelet.
noticed some chinese activity trackers have "pedo meters," I'm curious,
1. how do they detect pedos?
2. what if the wearer goes pedo?

No no, that's just a spelling error, it must be "Dope meter"

I like to sneak other peoples trackers and walk backwards with them on. Then they'll be like "I thought I had 10,000 steps today". Its great.

What do you consider expensive? I was looking at MyMotiv[^] since it isn't a wristband but need to do some additional research to make sure I don't always need my phone with me, etc.

Yes, and also avoid people with no digits on their feet.

They should avoid all galaxies.
