  • DuckDuckGo Is Selling Anti Pervert Glasses That Contain Zero AI, Cameras, or Even Electronics Whatsoever

    Jump

  • Iʻve been buying Knockaround glasses for years. Theyʻre not owned by Essilor-Luxottica and have pretty great quality that has improved over the years. Only reason Iʻve had to buy new glasses from them was either due to theft or loss.

    EDIT to make the conglomerateʻs name accurate and not sound like itʻs co-owned by Aragorn using his kingly name

  • Magnets. Perhaps keyed into the biometrics of certain personnel? Honestly, I just assumed that they were basically a much more technologically developed version of those cabinets at my aunt's house that you push the corners to open.

  • I think the tools you see O'Brien and others using do do that, just with directed energy.

  • If Paramount were smart, they'd do something like this. Disney+ has all kinds of "screen saver" ASMR-adjacent things. Paramount could easily whip up an hour-long slow pan of generic crew life on the Enterprise. I mean, I've put on the 10 hours of nacelle white noise you can find on YouTube.

  • I think this is how the "currency" of knowledge and experience works in Star Trek. The more senior position you have, the more away missions you get to take, which is part of the incentive to be promoted. Since there's no money, experience becomes currency (in a sense) so having the privilege of away missions and all of that is like getting a raise. We see this in the various shows (SNW in particular) where being picked for away missions is a kind of desired reward.

    Plus, it also fosters more captain openings in a society where people can just keep going well into their 100s. It's how Kirk got to become captain of the Farragut, yeah? His captain died on an away mission?

  • Who?!?

    Jump

  • Okay, now I need someone to either a) set the lyrics of “Never Gonna Give You Up” to the tune of “Faith of the Heart” or b) give “Never Gonna Give You Up” a “Faith of the Heart” lyrical makeover

  • Sounds about right

    Jump

  • I once rescued a kitten I found running around outside of my place. Riddled with parasites, easily days away from death. Solid black, adorable and loving. Got her all healed up and then I named her Le Muerte por Fuego (the Death by Fire). Until she had kittens and then she just became "Mama Cat."

    Edit - Forgot to add a sentence about how I got her healed up

  • Trump, 80, Cornered on War Crimes Accusation

    Jump

  • This. I served as the Opinion Editor of my college newspaper. I hung around students who saw themselves as "real" journalists and they saw it as their duty to annoy the living hell out of administrators and others, often in defiance of the faculty representative in the paper office. I knew guys who would just walk into board meetings uninvited. They'd corner the university president. They'd go to meetings and ask questions that the administrators clearly did not want to answer and then push on them to give an answer. Freedom of the Press is not something that is comfortable. It will have push-back, the laws designed to protect it have to be activated from time-to-time. What's been the most successful tool of curtailing the "Fourth Estate" in modern politics is not silencing so much as fostering a space where the press never use their freedoms.

  • DS9 in a nutshell

    Jump

  • Setting the story on a station allowed the "trekking" to be more psychological and philosophical. Has trekking the stars changed us as much as we'd like to imagine? We're more open-minded as a result, but where are the limits of tolerance? Where are there still blind-spots? An excellent inversion of the Star Trek formula that builds out the whole "Western, but set-in-space" by playing off of something like Gunsmoke more than Wagon Train or whatever.

  • Do they sleep in a bucket?

    Jump

  • And where did the yellow board come from?

  • All shows used to be like that

    Jump

  • All hail the bottle episodes!

    Just think, due to budget distribution, we got "Family" right after "Best of Both Worlds, pt. 2" and it's among the best Picard-centric episodes (and provided thematic ground for Generations, First Contact, and Picard--for good and not-so-good)!

  • Just Curious - What's Everyone's Profession Here???

    Jump

  • I'm a parish priest in the Episcopal Church.

    Lots of people assume priests only work on Sundays. They also assume that we don't have much of a life outside of the priesthood. I get that sometimes when I'm getting dressed after surfing ("you guys can surf?"). I also have a wife and four kids, which also surprises people (my wife and I sometimes meet up for lunch dates and I always get amused when I see someone who thinks they've happened upon some scandal in the making).

  • If you had to start today, would start collecting CDs or Vinyls?

    Jump

  • I collect both but have begun focusing more on CDs for their portability, price, and their ease of digitization. I'm actually in the middle of extracting CDs I recently picked up at the thrift store as I type this. I have an MP3 player and I load them on there, keep them on my hard-drive AND a separate back up. I still have CDs from the 90s and have had no issues with them playing or being digitized.

  • He went and did exactly what he always goes and does: he made the thing about himself.

  • What is your favourite album of all time?

    Jump

  • Stuff like this fascinates me, the ways in which physical limitations can impact a piece of art.

  • What is your favourite album of all time?

    Jump

  • Right now it's a toss-up over:

    Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

    Graceland by Paul Simon

    Time by Electric Light Orchestra

    She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

    (I really love them all; other top contenders are Born to Run by Springsteen and Untitled by Blink-182)

  • What is your favourite album of all time?

    Jump

  • I learned a few years back that the original vinyl pressing of this had a completely different track order than the the CD version (and I think was three LPs). I changed the track order on my digital version to match this (without the extra tracks that are near impossible to find) and it works so much better (and I love the album). I'd love to get my hands on a copy but can't find them for less than $300 if you're lucky.

  • We're lucky I'm this normal

    Jump

  • Isn't this also the show that had the bit where a group of butch women on motorcycles show up and proceed to devour all the carpet in his house (i.e. "munching carpet/rug munching")?
