    Okay, so… I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all… I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again - I would. Garak was right about one thing: a guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant.

    Me: [Through gritted teeth] There’s no such thing as objectively good or bad media so…

    PA: Anakin is a tragic hero!

    Me: Okay so…

    Okay so you can use double-headed trains but these are less efficient because the backwards facing locomotive isn’t powering the train. If you need to get into a tight water-locked area, these are useful, but really, you want to invest in dual-track, unidirectional train infrastructure from the get-go. Now, a lot of people wonder, should I use a 1x4 configuration, a 2x6 config, or something else. In this essay, I will…
