They are likely waiting for the cartographers to finish their jobs… Unless they were asked to resign… Who knows how this government functions at this point.
Waiting for the presidential cars to be replaced with cyber trucks.

I think the plan is if your in the US the name will change. I think. Something about USA being classified as a sensitive nation when before names didn’t hurt us.
Backbone lost.
- Comment on Interview: Alex Kurtzman on Section 31 and the "evolution" of Star Trek 1 week ago:
I started to watch prodigy, the first episode, but wasn’t motivated enough to go beyond a few minutes. I should give it another try, as it’s the only new star trek for the family to watch.
Strange new worlds might work, but due to how dark (lighting) and how real the effects look, this show is still not as family as the original shows.
What I’m looking for is something I know my kids can watch without being a helicopter parent.
It’s hard to really describe, maybe I’m getting old… 👴
- Comment on Interview: Alex Kurtzman on Section 31 and the "evolution" of Star Trek 1 week ago:
Can we get some Star Trek I can watch with my kids around? I have to stick with classic trek (everything from Enterprise and earlier) as there isn’t an option. Sure Prodigy does exist, but I don’t know if I can get into that show myself.
Rant over…
They can make Section 31 content all they want, I don’t care, just make it good enough to watch. Hell, just take the book series and make a mini series based on those stories.

Maybe they didn’t watch it? I failed to get past 20 minutes.

Yes, I have run wires to a few rooms, but not everywhere and it can be difficult to convince myself to continue down this path. However, it is the more affordable option.

You mean run wires?

While not really for my hosting, I want to upgrade the Wi-Fi speeds in my home, currently running an eero setup that provides good coverage, but the speed seems poor when transferring large files around the home.
Not sure what to get, but this is my goal.

If they remove it from the water, then change the availability to be OTC for multivitamins with fluoride. I want to be able to get it with our having a copay and whatever else the Dr wants to charge .
- Comment on Where to start? 2 months ago:
You’ll be fine, a lot of the shows need to grow, but I think Voyager and DS9 from the gate is pretty solid. However, I agree that DS9 is actually better the more you rewatch. I didn’t care too just for it the first time, but on the second watch 💪
- Comment on Where to start? 2 months ago:
Voyager’s got that family feel with the cast that you just enjoy being around.
TNG is best to start after season 1. Not saying season one is bad, but it might be harder to get into for a new comer.
Enterprise is good is you like your uniforms tight.
The original series is great to get a lot of the origin information. I guess it’s hard for new comers, but I grew up with it, so has a special accepting place in my heart.
Deep Space 9 is my personal favorite for political sci-fi. However, there is the occasional whatever episode. This is best to watch is order all the way through.
I still think that lower decks and strange new worlds can not be fully enjoyed without some other older trek shown under your belt, but it’s only a few episodes so you can finish them both quickly.
I abandoned Discovery after season 2 or 3 (I forget) I hear it got ok later on, but idk.
Picard, just watch season 3. I watched the others and then season 3 came out. I forgot about the others.

No worries, I think the way I write may have caused confusion. Trek on. 🖖

Yes, that’s why I picked them up.
- Comment on Where can I find the highest quality Star Trek: The Original Series? 3 months ago:
? I prefer the original special effects, but that’s what I grew up with and it gives me the most comfort. I think the only way to watch the original is with the blurays at this point.
Back in the day prime used to have both available for streaming, but the golden era has ended.
If you want the highest quality video and audio the Blu-ray is the best you can get.

Nice, been waiting for this as I abandoned Discovery once her story was over. I view it as a TV movie or basically a long double episode.

- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 5 months ago:
I have heard from friends of mine that like Trump claim that since he’s a business man he is good for running the country. I could’t roll my eyes hard enough after hearing that remark.
I have also found that there is nothing you can say to sway a trump supporter.

I find software reencoding/remux instead of doing it on the fly is easier for my brain to manage over alignment of the hardware stars.
