"Life forms. You precious little lifeforms. You tiny little lifeforms. Where are you?"

Lt. Cmdr Data, Star Trek: Generations

  • My biggest worry is what they do with the Klingons in the 31st century; they’re probably going to talk about how war-torn and poor Qo’Nos is or have the planet have gotten blow up or something dumb like that.

    I’d love to have it so that either Qo’Nos surprisingly has had its crap together and managed to avoid brutal civil wars post-burn, with the result being in defiance of all expectations, it was one of the better planets to get stuck on after the Burn.

  • This guy is low-key the Gowron of the Orions. I kind of hope he shows up again in one of the two later seasons.

  • Honorary mention: IDW Picard's Academy was a fun enough read.

  • It’s solidly okay. I wish it were in brush form like Photoshop was, and I wish it were better-optimized; it’s written in Python and a bit slow. I think Photoshop GPU accelerates this.

    Still, usable for a lot of things.

  • TFW you're not concerned about Star Trek leaving Netflix

    Jump

  • To be fair, I think there are more reasons to pay for Netflix than there are reasons to pay for Paramount+ that don’t rhyme with “Schmar Schmeck”.

    And honestly, I’m looking to just switch to a Blu Ray/DVD collection; with Lower Decks and Prodigy over, I might as well just have their series BluRays. Maybe I’ll come back for SNW seasons (and maybe SFA if worth it) so the show can get some ratings or whatever.

    As to avoid giving Paramount geezers cash, I’ll probably try to buy used from local businesses.

    For DS9 and VOY, though, I’ll probably just buy DVDs for plausible deniability and then torrent one of the many upscales. There’s supposedly a nifty project where someone’s using a Domesday duplicator to rip DS9 and VOY seasons’ laser discs with Domesday duplicator because the DVD transfers of those seasons are so horrible.

  • I'd love to see those on him in one of the scenes in Star Trek: Klingon where he angrily shakes you...

  • Didn't know that the wordle word list included mythical legends.

  • Not to be confused with that coward, the anti-quark:

  • There's only one stop on this route

    Jump

  • The Q have a comparatively nice one stop by comparison:

  • Commander Ransom totally wants to spot for the Koala

    Jump

  • Ransom may be too dumb to understand it, but he is principled enough to accept and support it.

  • “Oh, we don’t do it for the numbers. We do it to quiet the voices in our heads.”

    I love Lower Decks as a while, but I think this is the single best-written line in the entire show.

  • They Might Be Giants collaborated with them and released a new t-shirt in 2025, I think to commemorate the anniversary of their initial collaboration back in the mid 2000s.

    No! Make it not so!

  • Either that, or OP amalgamated several occurrences in TNG…

    10 minutes of Memory Alpha searching yields no results. I'm truly stumped.

    EDIT: I see mentions of Beverly Crusher getting turned into a dog by Q, but nothing similar for Riker.

  • For me, as long as Debian still packages it and disables these features, I’ll be fine, but LibreWolf looks more and more tempting these days, and having tried it a bit, I can live with the minor annoyances.

  • Personal growth, still punk as fuck

    Jump

  • The Star Trek IV punk is one of those jokes that’s so unfunny it causes an integer overflow and loops back around to absolutely hilarious.

  • It's a mostly multi-universal constant

    Jump

  • The weird thing about that is I feel like whoever are Bashir’s commanding officers during the rest of his career would have had to have hand-picked him despite that, and thus wouldn’t have qualms about promoting him either.

  • Running Python on Debian - is not so easy?

    Jump

  • I like to use pythonz in this case; it’s a tool to manage Python installs, and it puts the installs in a directory under your home directory, not affecting anything in the system.

    It does build each version from source, which introduces some quirks; I’ve found compilation for some Python versions works better with clang, and sometimes, you need to enable build options.

    Still, I think this is a good way to do things; just start whichever Python version you want, and then create a venv with it.
