  • Do you also strategically choose which lesser mugs have to sit precariously on top of the others?

  • My mugs are taking over. I've started having to take some out of circulation and store them elsewhere.

  • Doctor, your irrational display of emotion is, as always, illogical.

  • This has to be one of the most 1960s videos out there.

  • Yes, but

  • I've never thought of using wet wipes when painting...

  • I've actually never seen it before, it was just one of the top examples when I searched.

    Looking it up now, you're not going to believe this, but it's because of Harvey Weinstein personally holding the film rights hostage. Somehow after a license expired, the film rights reverted to him, and he offered to sell it back to Kevin Smith at some unreasonable price that Smith didn't want to pay. It sounds pretty ethical to torrent at this point.

  • Starfleet training is intense!

  • I've seen so many meme edits of this scene that I was waiting for the reveal, lol.

  • Yeah, I'll take a handful of eye rolls for seasons and seasons of some of the best TV ever. (I may be a tad biased)

  • The Doc would have a thing or two to say to Picard

  • I love holodeck episodes so much.

  • Fair take. Trying to include a moral lesson is like walking a tightrope: it's cool when it feels like a natural part of the story or world-building, but it's sooo cringy when it feels like a direct lecture from the writers to you.

    TNG does get more subtle, but it also does have occasional moments that practically feel like He-Man turning to camera at the end of the show to tell you why drugs are bad or crime doesn't pay.

  • I do think I'm going to start a retro game ROM collection in general. I have a sizable physical collection already, but there are just so many that aren't easily available anymore.

  • The first that came to mind are episodes that have been removed from circulation, like the Pokemon episode with Porygon, or the It's Always Sunny Lethal Weapon episodes, or that first DnD episode from Community.

    From a quick search, there are a bunch that are stuck in weird legal limbo: The Drew Carey Show, Dogma, Tales from the Crypt.

    Someone also mentioned Song of the South being pulled by Disney. Ooh, or the original Star Wars films from before they were edited. There are also probably a ton of not well known older films that would benefit from being preserved.

  • I've been using Handbrake to rip DVDs but haven't started using MakeMKV yet. I do have a number of blu-rays that Handbrake can't seem to process on its own.
