Chili without beans is weird to me though, where is that common?

It is here in Texas. My family is from up north, so we've always put beans in chili. Down here, everyone tries to pass off greasy meat chunk soup as chili and it sucks.

In Texas, our Chi'Li is a hearty and spicy meaty dish, as befitting a warrior preparing his path to Sto'Vo'Kor. If you want bland plant nodules with your meal, have some women prepare it in a separate bowl so that it will not sapp the vigor of those about to achieve glory through conquest.

I know Hasperat is literally just those tortilla wraps people serve as finger food at parties (at least that's what the prop was), but the mention of brine and the existence of "hasperat souffle" makes me picture it as one of those simple but challenging regional dishes that people associate with good home cooking. The whole conversation Ro has where the guy complains that no one makes it as spicy as the stuff he grew up with made me think of chili, or kimchi, or similar food where every family has their own special recipe and the store bought/replicated stuff just isn't the same. I always pictured Hasperat as being slightly fermented flatbread with a tangy flavor like sourdough or injera and plenty of spice.

I'd have to assume based on context that the hasperat is not the tortillas but the filling (like the hummus mentioned above), and the tortilla is just the traditional delivery mechanism. Presumably you could serve hasperat over chips or on a bun or even on top of *gasp* meat.

I'm not here to fuck spiders!

I've come across chili without beans in the Midwest. There are people out there who insist chili is made without beans, and adding beans makes it chili WITH beans, which certainly won't beat my prized chili recipe of drowning ground mystery meat in sugary bbq sauce and a dash of cayenne pepper that sure is spicy for a white person! They also like to serve "Mexican food" with this beanless chili on it, which I can only assume is a translation error.

Riley is probably my favorite worthless crewman in all of TOS. The fidgety dude form Corbomite Maneuver and the world's worst psychiatrist from Dagger of the Mind are also strong contenders, but nothing beats the sheer gusto with which Riley takes to being space drunk. Also his singing.

I'd count the third security officer to get vaporized by Nomad as being most incompetent (because seriously, how do you not see that coming at that point?), but, eh, it's not like redshirts are really people.

With all the Newspeak coming from Trump's campaign and administration, I see him more like a Cardassian: he's from old money, cheated his way into power, and maintains an Orwellian death-grip on truth in order to maintain his crypto-fascist regime.

He's also a reality TV star, like the Cardassians.

The best part was there would be multiple ways to kill the redshirt in each episode. I can think of, like, three in the first one alone off the top of my head.

And one of them was incredibly sadistic.

I always wondered what the food situation on the TOS Enterprise was. All I can think of is Trouble with Tribbles where Kirk uses the food processor to get his chicken sandwich and coffee (with extra tribble), but ST6 shows an actual kitchen.

It wasn't consistent. There's a cook that calls up to the bridge in Charlie X, but by the time David Gerrold was working on The Trouble With Tribbles he was told by Gene Coon that there was no cook on the ship.
