  She’s awesome!

  “Yes, I remember very clearly reading it, finishing it, and going… ‘That’s ridiculous. I’ve got to call the producer.’ What is it doing this to this woman who’s a high ranking officer—for years all the women in her family on this planet have been in love with a lamp? And the thing was, I know that the writer wanted me to have a romantic episode. It was a little more than romance, if you know what I mean. So I’m like, ‘Really, I have to do a ghost orgasm on—okay, all right.'”

  …

  “But you know what? Now, I love it because it’s such a cult thing, and I think it’s hilarious. So here’s the thing, don’t get too excited, BUT… Nacelle is coming out with a Sub Rosa—a Beverly Crusher action figure in the pink nightgown, okay, with lots of accoutrement, and that’s, you know, things. And so we have a lamp, we have different things, so it should be quite an interesting kind of an ACTION figure, okay? So be careful. Don’t use it–well… you can use it alone. But so is it really wild that after all these years… at first was like, I was like, I’m so embarrassed. Patrick couldn’t believe it, you know me and the nightgown, I mean the whole thing. And now? I love it. So there you go. You never should say never, because you sometimes are wrong.”

  …

  One fan told McFadden that watching “The Host” as a child was “remarkable,” as a story like that was not the norm on TV. The actress was eager to talk about the season 4 episode, which introduced an early version of the Trill species to the franchise. McFadden relished the opportunity to explore new territory in the story pitched by Michel Horvat (and the teleplay heavily rewritten by Jeri Taylor):

  “I thought it was the first gay writer, openly gay writer, that we had used their script on the show. And I thought was a brilliant script. From the first time I read it, I thought, this is extraordinary. He’s asking what is the nature of love? How much is physical, how much is experiential… What is love? And that’s a great question to ask, a hard question to answer.”

  …

  “When I did the surgery and pulled out this… It did look like a scrotum, guys. Honestly, the male producers are really doing this to get to me. It could have looked sweet, right? It could have been sweet, right? So this is what I’m in love with, thank you so much. Then it’s Jonathan [Frakes], you know, it’s like all this is happening within a 24-hour period. And it turns out it goes into a woman. “

  …

  “It forced you to think, what is, what is love? I mean, it actually got you to think about it, things that you might not normally thought about in the same way. And I got some people—when I used to be on Twitter, I’m not now—but when I was on Twitter, they were, ‘Well, that was so anti-gay. She didn’t sleep with the woman.’ And I’m like, ‘Dude, in 24 hours she’s been with that. She’s seen this scrotum sack. I think it’s enough for one day, you know? Like, let’s give her a break.’ And I feel that way. I feel it had nothing to do with that, and that wasn’t the purpose of it. It wasn’t like saying this is what you should do. And I thought she handled it very nicely. She said, ‘I’m just not ready.’ And that’s that’s perfectly reasonable as far as I’m concerned.”

  Self-hosted is not a way to make things free. Just lower cost than subscriptions overall. Using the full *Arr suite, with Usenet, your own hardware, and client boxes gives the users better control of the content they watch, but requires a nominal input of users time (plus some technical expertise), as well as an investment of some money both one time and annually.

  Infuse’s lifetime time cost, when viewed in light of the total reduction of subscription cost (and an improved control of content) is worth it. I would definitely not pay a monthly amount to infuse, although it’s possible.

  So far as Jellyfin’s app… As its free, I have low expectations. They fact that the developers have paid Apple for the SDK and put it as a free app on Apple TV and iOS is incredibly kind of them. They have a fair amount of code to look after and open source developers rarely get enough love or money.

  I realize most will say kodi or android TV, but I have to say that Apple TV with Infuse (or Jellyfin) is really simple and reliable. I say that with the assumption that you mean a client, not the server. I would definitely put it on a NAS at minimum.

  I can tell you after doing it on a house in Colorado, it’s a satisfying thing. It covers the sunniest hours, and we have batteries enough to get us past peak hours. I do wish we built it bigger and put more batteries in it, but that seems always true.

  For those on iPhone and at any risk, ICEBlock app is potentially better, as it maintains more privacy.

  The reason they don’t do android:

  At ICEBlock, user privacy and security are paramount. Our application is designed to provide as much anonymity as possible without storing any user data or creating accounts. While we understand the desire for an Android version of ICEBlock, achieving this level of anonymity on Android is not feasible due to the inherent requirements of push notification services.

  They should have said, but I guessing they didn’t because it’s easy and indicates it at the checkpoint. You tell the agent you are declining the biometric identification. Do it as soon as you hand the agent your ID, don’t step in front of the machine, then follow instruction (probably step alongside so they have a clear view of your face).
