Season 2 was already filmed by the time season 1 aired. They cancelled the show after season 1 finished, but are still going to finish and release season 2. Apparently it ends on a cliff hanger.

Academy was a great Trek show. It captured the spirit of Star Trek and showed us how Starfleet helps young people develop into officers, while also giving us some new and interesting ideas. The characters were interesting, the legacy stuff wasn't obnoxious and actually added to what came before (especially for The Doctor after what B'Lanna did to him), and the overall writing and presentation overall was good. There were a few issues here and there, but nothing major, and it managed to be both funny and exciting, while also being genuine and intelligent.

Unfortunately some fans were triggered by a line in the trailer and never managed to get over it.

If it is for local use only you can just make your own certificates, and set yourself up as the authority if needed. If these devices allow you to upload a certificate then they really should support that, because otherwise their list of certificate authorities will go stale quickly and they will stop working.

Used EVs are currently appreciating assets thanks to the actions of the Orange Man.

Demand is outstripping supply.

Also because the Japanese invested heavily in hybrid technology and do not want to abandon it.

There was a news report about it years ago on NHK. It's not just Toyota that wants to get every bit of value out of its hybrid R&D, it's that all their suppliers for the drivetrain want to as well. If they switched completely to EV then many of those suppliers would have little to offer. The complex gearbox, the fuel management, the engine block, the alternator, the exhaust system, it all goes away.

Even their dealers need to retrain and lose all the revenue from maintaining the fossil part, because EVs typically only need a few regular checks, and an oil change every ~5 years or so. Even the brake pads last forever due to regen.

They are trying to preserve their business model for as long as possible, instead of adapting. Much like fossil fuel companies and many others.

It's the same story everywhere.

EVs arrive. Media scaremongers and prints lots of articles about how the range is inadequate, the chargers are all broken, the slightest scratch results in them being written off, can't get spare parts...

Then enough people get them that everyone else starts to realize the truth and become interested, because the advantages and convenience are huge.

EV also decouple them from oil prices and they can make electricity themselves with cheap solar panels.

For China it's also about buying domestic goods and supporting Chinese businesses. Many people are already familiar with batteries due to mopeds too, which doubtless reduces the range anxiety a lot. It seems to take people who are used to fossil fuel vehicles longer to get over it.

Oracle has faced a sharp surge in automated and AI-driven critical vulnerability discoveries throughout 2026, pushing their Critical Security Patch Updates from a quarterly cadence to a monthly cycle.

High-profile RCE vulnerabilities across Oracle enterprise stacks—such as deserialization flaws in PeopleSoft or CVE-2025-61882 in EBS—stem from unauthenticated web application weaknesses, insecure Java deserialization, path traversal, and exposed endpoints that allow remote exploit execution.

While migrating PeopleSoft to a PaaS model offloads OS and database-tier patching, the application layer itself still demands manual testing and patch application. Savvy administrators must maintain immutable backups and aggressive patch SLAs to avoid compromise.

Ultimately, while Accenture and operational leads share culpability for execution lapses, systemic exposure is a leadership failure. The responsibility lies squarely with the executives directing risk tolerance and architecture oversight.

Just to avoid the chances of getting eye-cancer from your 4chan vomit, I have asked AI to reply:

1. Correlation vs. Causation (Economics over Ideology):

Single motherhood correlates with youth delinquency primarily through household poverty and resource strain, not gender or partisan ideology. When studies control for household income, neighborhood safety, and educational access, the gap between single-mother and single-father or two-parent outcomes shrinks dramatically. Attributing systemic poverty to "toxic feminism" ignores decades of empirical sociological and economic data.

2. Made-Up and Distorted Statistics:

The argument relies on fictional figures masquerading as data:

The "80% virgin men" claim: Actual demographic surveys (such as the General Social Survey) show young male sexual inactivity hovers around 20–30%, not 80%.

The "USAID funded gangster rap" conspiracy: USAID does not fund domestic American music genres; it is an international development agency.

The "28% of Gen Z aborted" voter fraud trope: Conflates debunked election conspiracy theories with unverified demographic claims.

3. The Irony of Accountability:

Blaming single mothers for absent fathers while lecturing about "accountability" is a contradiction. A single mother is, by definition, the parent who stayed to raise the child. Framing paternal abandonment as the fault of liberal feminism absolves the very men who walked away from their responsibilities.

4. Crime Trends Disprove the Premise:

Over the past 30 years, violent crime in the United States has declined significantly compared to its peak in the early 1990s—even as non-traditional household structures grew. If single motherhood were the sole, unchecked driver of violent crime, national crime rates would have scaled exponentially upward rather than trending downward over multi-decade horizons.

Rage-baiting internet subcultures (OF, dating apps, culture war buzzwords) do not substitute for serious criminology or family policy. Addressing poverty, expanding early childhood education, and fostering parental support across the board will always accomplish more than grievances posted from behind a keyboard.
