I’m not sure if someone was trying to figure out ways to increase their profitability to avoid getting bought out, or if they were trying to increase their value to make buying them out a more attractive deal, or what… but there was definitely a whole lot of “wtf are they thinking?” moves at Paramount, just as there were at HBO a year or so ago.

They were definitely flinging options at walls to try to get some kind of effect. But they were doing it with no apparent rhyme nor reason, at least to us out here.

I suspect we’ll see another round of readjustments if/when Skydance gets their merger handled. I suspect there’s people over there just chomping at the bit to get their hands deep in some Trek productions.

Quake, here, I think

I couldn’t locate this specific one on Amazon or Paramount, but fortunately i had a local copy :D

They were too far out for their tractor beam, because they missed due to the jump inaccuracy. The Breen dropped out of warp much closer to it, and were able to snag it with theirs.

Hey, birthday twin!!!

I’d guess Zora didn’t want to run the DOTs to clean things up anymore

that… looks like it was a 480p source, playing on a 720 display.

Yeah, it might be just slightly higher quality than the broadcasts originally were, but not much.

On rewatch, I wonder if he was on the way to suggesting someone like Book when he was interrupted

Agree with this, it seemed like he was using Book for context, not for a real suggestion. Saru respects what Booker has done for everyone, but I don’t think he’s a real big fan of the guy, and certainly doesn’t think he should be the XO of a Federation ship.

I could be wrong, though

I’m told that’s Bigfoot with a hat on.

Darmok, his spear thrown too early.

… hello?

sure, just wanted to let anyone who might want to try to do the same thing i tried know, that it’s probably not worth trying to do with WSL1 in Windows, wasn’t like slamming it or making a feature request or anything, sorry if that wasn’t clear :D

Windows users: fwiw, i didn’t want to go deal with Python and Chromium in Windows, so I tried to do this in WSL (v1) and gave up. Probably easily done in WSL v2, or with just using the Windows versions of everything.

SpaceX pretty much kept US Spaceflight alive between the time of the Space Shuttle, and… whatever comes out next. Tesla corporation has proven to the rest of the car manufacturers, and other startups, that the way of the future is not via burning fossil fuels.

Elon showed the world what a shitheel he was after that.

So, I’m pretty sure that this dialogue was written before Elon became the obvious shitheel that he is now. And, as many point out, mirror universe Elon Musk might’ve been even more instrumental to their world, than ours.

I think I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 seasons of Picard, minus the pieces of plots that apparently went absolutely nowhere, and I presume they probably were things that ended up getting cut, but their plot threads weren’t completely cut.

i’ve been sleeping a lot more. i lay in bed and use the crippled rif to browse /r/news and then i’m out

Not exactly what you’re getting at here, but the first scene in the last episode, where we see Kirk on the UEF Enterprise, as La’An enters the bridge, and he turns to her, and talks, that is absolutely channeling TOS Kirk in virtually every aspect.

And then, outside of that, In both of the episodes we’ve seen him in, we’ve explored aspects of Kirk that are both the same as the Kirk we know, as well as very different from the Kirk that we know.

Sure, that’s just what we want, is for them to get a massive influx of “developers” to inflate their value with for the IPO.

I love iOS’s look (when it’s on an intended device, not on my giant ass monitor, like here :D ) but man is it’s organization a mess. Everything Apple produces is seriously unintuitive. If you give me an iPad, i’m going to be lost searching for basic functionality. If you give me a Mac, I can’t even operate the damn thing.

things like this are why these days we build apps to be very independent from the APIs that serve them, makes it a lot easier when major API upgrades or service provider changes occur.
