Vibrant! Captures both their beauty and their joy. Impressive!

Let’s be sure to name and shame, for anyone who missed it: Georgia and Florida.

Company is - you guessed it - Flock.

“Is that another Borg time sphere?”

“Captain, I believe the borg may be attempting to alter the past - to prevent themselves from ever encountering Dr. Cochran’s music.”

“One can jerk it while doing everything right and still not succeed. That is not failure, that is life!”

And also writing the some of the best Marvel Comics titles, now!

(Edit: Added exclamation point inT-Rex’s honor!)

(Edit2: Oops! Missed an explanation point in my edit!)

Will Riker is. Thomas is the original.

Recycling tragic accidents is just good policy, and necessary to preserve the ecosystem on visited planets.

If we happen to get a few cloned bridge officers out of the bargain…that’s just good fortune.

There’s not an ounce of Cyan in Riker’s body, but this thing still refuses to materialize without a new cartridge!

That’s brilliant…and sick.

Apparently he makes bank.

Epic!

Thanks!

I honestly do not think it’s even possible to spoil that film lol.

There are charts that try, at least.

That happened to my great-great-grandson. I’m not sure if he ever found his way back.

I was going to push back on your point here, but then I couldn’t think of a game that makes a good counterpoint.

Before they enshitified all the sports games, I would have pushed back a bit and comparer running Windows for a specific game to emulating an Atari for nostalgia.

But actually, the last good version of many of those sports games probably runs in Wine now anyway.

One pushback - there’s still community on some of those very shitty games. I understand people not wanting to leave their gamer group behind.

Of course, my gamer group all moved to SteamDeck.

Ouch!

The good news is you’ll get invited to Cobol/AS400/Mainframe conventions if eventually you’re the only ones left on Windows.

Those folks have similar challenges, but are great to party with after a day of conference talks.

It’s a network issue.

It’s not always a network issue!

I felt that too!

I was a bit nervous, but mostly relieved not to worry that every boot into Windows could cost me my whole setup.

Now I’m going through a trying-not-to-preach phase. I just want my friends to feel as free of Microsoft’s bullshit as I do.

Yes. It’s pretty funny reading someone so confident in all the extra security they’re getting from Windows messing with their boot sequence, earlier in this thread.

Corporate OS is going to corporate. End users and private files are rarely winners when corporate needs to corporate hard.

I’ve had the same dual boot configuration since around 2018 and this never happens to me, yet I keep reading that it happens to others. I really wonder what I did differently.

We have very long memories.

In my defense, an OS that I paid for breaking my boot settings was such a virus thing to do, it was really memorable.

Fixed it by blowing away the Windows partition.

That’s how my dual booting experiment ended, as well.
