Quick Star Trek question that pops into my head occasionally:

Is there an in-universe explanation as to why, exactly, so many (human) Starfleet officers are fans of Earth history, specifically the history and culture of the mid-to-late 20th century USA? And why so very few of them are invested in, say, the history and culture of Joseon-period Korea, pre-Sarek Vulcan, mid-whateverth-era Betazed, etc?

(Seriously, I would absolutely love it if a random go-back-to-earth-time-travel episode ever landed them somewhere other than the USA.)

This is now at least twice I've gotten into threads with people who are convinced the book Flipped

was printed tete-beche style, that is, as two books bound back to back.

This time I went ahead and emailed the author and confirmed that I am right and all those other people are wrong, it was always printed with alternating chapters. Dollars to donuts I'll now be accused of caring too much or taking this too seriously, but that won't stop me from saving the thread for future reference.
