For Seven's sake, too bad Jellico didn't get stuck in the Delta Quadrant.

Indeed, the bermagot does slap.

I'm a recent ex-Mormon, so that's why I've never had it before.

It took a couple tries to get it right (I didn't let it steep long enough the first time), but I sure like the sensation of what feels like drinking an orange or lemon peel.

Made myself some Earl grey (my first time drinking tea) and watched Generations (my favorite TNG film, and second favorite Trek film) as well as “The Inner Light”.

Edit: also, my Linux User’s Group is having a Halloween rice competition, so I last minute updated mine accordingly.

If Wil Wheaton was never in TNG for the youth appeal, my mom might have never watched The Next Generation as a tween/teen, and by proxy, I may have never watched watched it. Also, he was really fun in Star Trek: Prodigy.

Based on my experiences meeting other Trekkies at Phoenix Fan Fusion and Tuscon Comic Con.

Like, once you get past this part, most of the original Trekkies are fun to talk to, but combined with that subset of gen X TNG guys who talk about their college years and give you unsolicited life advice while probably a bit inebriated, you probably lose an hour at whatever convention to hearing this same flex over and over again. lol

Also, yes, at Fan Fusion I found out Gen Alpha Trekkies do exist; saw one wearing a DS9 uniform commenting at a panel.

Hey. I just wanted to say I've been and will continue to be taking a break from this instance and Lemmy for a while.

While I've had some fun in my almost two years here, lately, I've had a bit of an addictive, unhealthy relationship with it and want to reclaim my time, and I was really getting too emotional over things that don't matter, to the point it negatively affected my wellbeing. Thus, I've changed my password to a random one and saved it in a GPG-encrypted file for when I'm ready to come back.

Thanks to all the people that have made my time on here a good one, especially server admins and many of the frequent posters. I could be back in a few weeks, in a few months, or as Benjamin Sisko said, yesterday.

Paramount+ doesn't have the "Spanish (Latin American" dub beyond season 2, and I've long been wondering if it even exists for later seasons. It would be a travesty if it didn't, as most voices were at least tolerable, and Boimler straight up sounded like Jack Quaid speaking Spanish.

I've heard that there are two Spanish dubs out there for it: the Latin American one on P+ that's pretty good, and a horrible Castillian dialect one. It would be a shame if the Blu-Ray used the latter, or even worse, the product claims to have a Spanish dub but only has it for two seasons.

Anyone who's already bought it, I would be immensely thankful if you could check that:

  • Spanish dub even exists beyond season 2.
  • Maybe post something like an audio clip with a scene including Boimler from each season so I can see if it's the same dub.

Thank you for your time. Have a good one.

I made this about 3.5 years ago and forgot about it, never uploading it anywhere. Sorry for your pain.

Excerpts from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Fit 11 that pretty much summarize how the AI industry really works, so long as you swap a few words.

All aboard the AI Event Horizon train. 😭

EDIT: Sorry, I set my Gitlab permissions wrong. Should be able to view now.

Alternatively, the whales' musical sequence from the 2005 film.

I’m confused. How did you save your parent’s Masters in Business Administration? /s

(Sorry. I can’t help but think that every time someone acronym’s Macbook Air.)

As others have said, there usually is no such thing, and if there is, your distro is probably practically a scam and you should find another.

What distro are you running?

Some legitimate distros may have extra support available for a cost, but that just means support, not extra features. Also, they sometimes have things like live patching, but that really is more an enterprise grade feature.

Un-cancel Lower Decks. 😉

Honestly, though, I feel like most media groups in general forget why the streaming model worked in the first place. They want Office-level hits, but forget that The Office wasn’t immediately successful. Not immediately killing it just because of that gave it time to find a fandom.

Most shows should automatically get 2-3 seasons, and they often aren’t getting that.

As for the whole “none of them knew what Star Trek was” anecdote - I find that a bit exaggerated. I’m a college student, and I wore a Boimler costume for Halloween- most could identify that I was something Star Trek. Around other people my age, they can at least think of Spock or Patrick Stewart.

How I got into Trek as a kid was my mom would be watching it, and she’d let us join even though we were supposed to be doing homework. TNG was the one I saw the most during that.

P.S: As I’ve floated around this forum several times, I think an animated anthology series of strange new crews would be awesome.

The filter preview feature seems really nice!

Honestly, Inkscape is at the very least almost as good as Illustrator - call me deluded but I find more intuitive in many cases.

Now if only GIMP could actually have some money pumped into it and a sane UI… 😒

I almost had a panic attack until I realized this was for UBlock Origin Lite rather than the normal, manifest v2 version. Still mad at Mozilla,though.

Also, the use of AI-generated images on their website.

I feel like what they did with Jerri Ryan was worse. At least for Deanna, it was in character.

Seven was a well-written character, but the wardrobe choices still infuriated me. That is probably one thing PIC got right.
