Someone else already named some tools, so I won’t repeat. But the reason this works is that even once you clear out those trash files, the OS usually only removes the pointer to where the data lives on the disk, and the disk space itself isn’t overwritten until it’s needed to save another file. This is why these tools have a much higher chance of success sooner after file deletion.

I used to make these all the time as a kid too!

depends, does it help if you group with someone who’s in iron?

Do you know what it’s called and where I can get one for my cat?

Yes, I love my aeropress!! With enough dialing in I can usually make a better cup of coffee with a pourover setup that better expresses the differences of specific beans. But the aeropress makes a darn good cup of coffee every time without going through all that hassle. I use mine almost daily.

I do sometimes “provide feedback” on terrible featured snippets, but goddamn does it feel like shouting into a void.

My entire family “Yello”s!

I answer my phone with it all the time and nobody’s ever commented.

Sci-fi is a genre of K-drama I’ve never engaged with, but your description of “Sisyphus” has me intrigued! I’ll have to check it out next time I’m on Netflix.

Looks like you’ve already gotten a lot of good info on potential perks of leveling another class, so I won’t add anything there.

If you do choose to level another class, I’d suggest doing the Hunting Logs for it! This is the fastest way to get early experience to get classes up to the level where you can start doing daily roulettes. These are available for all base-game classes and can be found under the “Logs” menu.

Thanks for the PSA! I’d seen the warning that not including “Undetermined” could prevent you from seeing content, but I didn’t realize you could multi-select!

If you want to watch more ToS, you can similarly cherry-pick your watch list there, as there are some stand-out episodes. I’d definitely recommend at least watching The Menagerie for context before SNW (or Captain Pike’s appearance in Discovery).

DS9 is some of the very best of Trek, but you’re going to want to actually watch it through; it’s got much larger story arcs and character development than ToS, TNG, and Voyager. It takes a couple of seasons to really pick up, but is well worth it. If you’re not ready to sit through that many subsequent episodes yet, you can wait until you have a better feel for the series. But don’t sleep on this one, it’s fantastic.

Those are my highlights for earlier Trek, but you can’t really go wrong as long as you’re enjoying what you’re watching!

TNG is, imo, the gold standard and an excellent starting point if you’re not looking to jump straight into Strange New Worlds. Its episodes are generally pretty self-contained, so you won’t be punished terribly for jumping around if you’re just looking to get a taste, and will still be able to enjoy the great episodes it has to offer, but you will get more context the more episodes you’re willing to watch.

Plenty of folks have compiled lists of which episodes are skippable vs worth watching, and there’s pretty universal agreement on which are iconic must-watch episodes, so there’s nothing wrong with following one of those for a first watch. Here’s an example. I’d recommend using the list at the bottom of that page (or another rated list) as a guide, and experiment a bit to figure out a good baseline for how low of a rating is acceptable and how many episodes you can tolerate in your first watch through.

Note that season 1 is widely regarded as the weakest, where the show is trying to emulate ToS and hasn’t yet come into its own, and you can skip episodes more liberally here, or even come back to it later.
