Leather Couch Face was probably too busy feeding his brain worm to pose for a picture, so Trump just slopped one and managed to get the wrong Kennedy in there.

Is he though? An inter-dimensional being with great powers: yes, definitely.

But an omnipotent god? We've seen them die, kill each other, grown complacent and bored, and in need of help from a mere human to find their way out of a civil war. Personally I don't consider them gods, just as we aren't gods even though an ant might think otherwise.

Or, to quote Quinn:

You mustn't think of us as omnipotent, no matter what The Continuum would like you to believe. You and your ship seem incredibly powerful to life-forms without your technical expertise. It's no different with us. We may appear omnipotent to you, but believe me, we're not.

Doesn't even need to be intentional. Voyager's mouse gestures make leaving an accidental downvote while scrolling way too easy for example.

Just a punch? Q's lucky he didn't get the full False God treatment plan.

Also helps to not cheap out on a divider between the urinals.

In my case Dutch, never realised it might differ across languages. Although in hindsight it makes sense, like you said: it's all ceramic.

We call old-fashioned stoves with a resistive spiral a ceramic plate here, while induction stoves are never referred to as a ceramic plate. Might not be technically correct, but that's language for you I guess.

Ah, TIL that the electric family was even larger than that. Thanks for the addition.

Weren't you supposed to be omniscient?

Electric stoves come in two forms though: ceramic, where you have an old-fashioned spiral which heats up the plate your pan sits on and plainly sucks imho. Or induction which heats your pan directly though an electromagnetic field. The latter is more efficient and modern cast iron pans work perfectly fine on them, no need for an enamel coating

Last few years I alternated between induction and gas due to moving around, induction is a clear winner for me.

Ik vind het vooral jammer als de buren BBQ'en en ik niet uitgenodigd ben. 😋

Verder echt geen problemen mee, de ene keer waait de BBQ lucht van de buren mijn kant op, de andere keer mijn lucht naar hun kant. Kwestie van een beetje geven en nemen en wat van elkaar accepteren.

There will be a reckoning.

There was, you think that attack Hamas orchestrated came out of nowhere? This settler crap has been going on for decades while every Western country looked the other way.

We've all seen the horrifying results of that reckoning though, the only thing that will change is Israel fully annexing the remaining Palestinian territories and some countries pretending that they're 'worried about the situation'.
