- Comment on Armin Shimerman and Terry Farrell Join the "Delta Flyers" Podcast for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" Rewatch 10 months ago:
I listed to a handful, and they don’t remember a surprising amount of stuff.
Also the actor who played Harry Kim, kinda comes off as a diva. Like he was complaining that the boots he had to wear were worn by another actor before him.
Then he stopped caring when he realized that they were worn by Data. I kinda forget exactly what else.
There were some interesting bits of info, but I can’t say if it’s new. It was new to me. But I only got into trek after the 09 movie.
It seems that every tv show has a podcast now, and that kinda turned me off to the entire concept of rewatch podcasts. It’s done for money instead of passion, so I may be a bit biased against it.

I’m guessing someone will have to figure out the algorithms through reverse engineering for each site then put together an extension. I will need to have some kind of vpn to change the ip address though.

Someone else said that they would of course has fast charging. Now it has the same port as android, but it charges slower.
It’s not a good look for apple, so they will likely include it.

I enjoyed the Kelvin films pretty equally. In wouldn’t have started watching Trek if it were not for 09. But I do see them as a separate thing.

These kinds of diseases are what scare me the most. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.

What’s the best platform to buy them on if you want to remove the DRM?
- Comment on [HN] YouTube gets more aggressive in pushing adblock warnings with countdown timer 10 months ago:
I’ve cut down on YouTube a lot by deleting the app and only accessing it via the web browser.
I’m genuinely happy with that decision. This Reddit thing has really made me realize how much I don’t need all this social media and stuff.

How is it over there? Are a decent number of creators uploading to that platform?
- Comment on data secured 10 months ago:
Windows seems to have irregular behavior in this regard. It usually defaults to the downloads folder. But sometimes it defaults to the last folder I saved a file to.
It might just be windows being buggy or something, but there were a number of time where I hit save and then the file is not where I expected it to be.
I could have prevented the mistake by paying attention first, but windows could also be consistent.
- Comment on I’ve finally seen everything Trek. 10 months ago:
It being too sexy wasn’t really an issue for me, but Archer was wildly cheesy at times. I really had trouble with him as the captain at times. But it seems he grew into that character in the second or late first season.

Salt? Like if your not home or around soap and water, but your around salt, you can just rub it in?
- Comment on MRW someone is claiming Star Trek should not do comedy episodes 10 months ago:
100% worse, threshold was at least a little silly.
- Comment on I’ve finally seen everything Trek. 10 months ago:
Maybe I just need a break from TOS. I wish we got more Sulu and Uhura. They are hardly part of the show. I think Bones was difficult to watch in the movies.
- Comment on MRW someone is claiming Star Trek should not do comedy episodes 10 months ago:
Thanks, that kind of what I expected it to be. I don’t remember that being too bad.
- Comment on MRW someone is claiming Star Trek should not do comedy episodes 10 months ago:
Oh yeah, for sure! I was excited when Spock’s brain came up as I’ve always heard people say it was the worst episode. But i didn’t think it was that bad.
- Comment on I’ve finally seen everything Trek. 10 months ago:
I really loved TAS. I’d agree about watching them in release order except I think people should really start with TNG.
TOS is a very different show in a lot of ways as much as I love trek, I do not think there were many episodes I’d care to watch again.

I’d have to lookup what that one was about, but I am inclined to say, yes.

This is my least favorite Star Trek episode of all time. It took me multiple sessions to get through it.

I love chick peas! Sadly, for health reasons my wife can’t have them 😂😂
- Comment on Eating less meat ‘like taking 8 million cars off the road’ 11 months ago:
The problem is that I literally do not known what to eat.
I live in a 3rd would country, so my grocery selection is a bit limited compared to what it was when I lived in the states.
I can easily get meat and core vegetables, but I don’t think I can just eat broccoli all week. Especially since a stick of broccoli is not expensive or the same price as meat.

Some of the really cheap stuff could have similar read and write speeds as a mechanical drive. Make sure you really do your research on it.
- Comment on [VERGE] People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars 11 months ago:
This article basically says people prefer using android auto or car play opposed to whatever the care make out in there. It also said that googles native built in os for cars is also generally liked.
I don’t think we really needed a study on this as every cars system is pretty garbage. Although I’ve never used CarPlay or android auto, but I can’t imagine anything as bad as my cars system.
- Comment on [HN] Windows 11 Collects an Awful Lot of Telemetry About Your PC 11 months ago:
I use Linux on my main machine but I’m a free lance worker and the apps I need literally will not work on Linux in any fashion. I’ve tried for years.
So, for work I’m about to switch to Mac as the Lenovo laptop is so garbage, so many random issues like no working webcam, keys randomly don’t work. Batter is good for like 2-3 hours on battery saving mode. And it’s huge. It’s only pretty new it has a tiger lake processor and already has so many issues.

Not surprised and it really wants me to see how this compares to MacOS. Am I better off? I assume I am, but who really know?
