The Fall Out Boy remix of Hand Crushed By A Mallet by 100 Gecs (https://spotify.link/Vtwt9T0DhDb) is absolutely fantastic, a brilliant pop punk cover right up until the end when it’s just melted into absolute fucking noise. I get it, it’s Gecs. But just let it be a good cover - please.
Looks like they did get the message with their most recent album as it’s a lot more listenable.
Just wanted to jump in here - I ended up doing as the commenter below me has said and bought a 20TB external hard drive. Well worth doing imo. I’m going to keep all of my important media that I want to save on the 5TB as a backup.
Really pleased to hear this. I will be staying on Beehaw for the foreseeable future, I’m on the same page as the admins.
Well said. Archer could have been such an interesting character who grows throughout the series, and I think that was much of the original plan, but I think the writers were straight up exhausted from TNG - DS9 - VOY for like 30 years and gave up trying.
9/11 allegory with the Xindi - I mean, it was a pretty big event and it’s only natural for America’s biggest sci fi show to try and tackle it. The Xindi arc was interesting and I think really good in some parts - but it didn’t feel like Trek to me. This wasn’t the show to try it on.
I feel so bad for Scott Bakula. This was going to be an absolutely defining role for him but he was given nothing to work with, and was cut loose right when the interesting stuff started showing up. I really want him to get another chance to shine, with some decent writing up to the calibre of Strange New Worlds at least.
I work in the media industry. Yes, sometimes there are times when you have to work like hell. But it shouldn’t be this way by default and expecting people to work insane hours to compensate for a lack of planning is stupid, unnecessary and burns out your team. If you really think like this, you’re the kind of person I would never want to work with.
By the sounds of the article the director didn’t understand how to plan for 3D animation - which just makes them a bad director who made others spend time fixing their mistakes.
Nothing else to say other than this is an interesting plan! I would really love to see the original cast return.
You’re right…I am thinking it would basically be a reboot. Or some kind of time shenanigans which change history. Not sure.
I’ve been looking for the Good That Men Do for a while, no luck yet…but I hear it’s good!
They kind of had to get up to speed quickly to even have a fighting chance against the enemy of the week. To be fair, when they went up against the Xindi it was pretty clear the NX-01 had barely any chance, it was in pieces.
Some of the best moments of the series was when they’d rig up something out of the primitive tech they had like the grappler and figure out a way to punch way above their weight in fights. So I don’t think they fully lost the scrappy underdog status.
I feel that this problem has only got worse with the popularity of SUVs. I live in a small town in the UK with a large number or wealthy residents who love their posh Land Rovers. They make driving around the streets a mess - lots of waiting for people to pass due to an effective one way street or because their car is way too big and I can’t safely squeeze past them. If they all had regular cars like me traffic would be able to move a lot easier.
I’d probably bet that the people that have filtered through to Lemmy probably already have their own data storage already sorted - you’ve got less “casuals” as it were. I use Google Drive myself, trying to figure out an alternative.
Fortnite. It’s free!
Fantastic article. I didn’t realise libraries were doing so much - but it’s clear that they are struggling. We should be funding institutions like this absolutely - but also funding housing and health more. If people had a place to live and a place to be healed the library wouldn’t have to pick up the slack.

There’s a local repair cafe that runs once a month near me - I should go next time it’s on, at least to say Hi! There might also be a thing or too I can learn.
Cookie clicker anyone? I play it on both android and PC. Wish Android had more features!
YES. Thank you. This is the kind of community I’ve been looking for.
