I'm beautiful and tough like a diamond...or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • What Star Trek media did you watch in the last week? - 12/24/25

    Jump

  • Power-watched the whole season 2 of Strange New Worlds and the first couple of episodes of S3.

  • What adult dude in your life has the most Michael Landon-esque full head of hair?

    Jump

  • Probably Nico Borie

    Edit: Oh, goddamnit. My dyslexic ass read that as Michael Langdon. I'm gonna leave this up for a laugh at my expense but disregard.

  • “Yo what?” LimeWire re-emerges in online rush to share pulled “60 Minutes” segment

    Jump

  • Oh, nice. I didn't catch what account posted it when I clicked on it.

  • And The History Channel showed documentaries that weren't about aliens.

    Jump

  • Shame me 4 times? Shame on you for picking on a vulnerable man.

    😂

  • It was the other day, too. It'll probably be gone by tomorrow though. But keep uploading it for sure.

  • Global ‘mistakenly’ posted ’60 Minutes’ segment, CBS News says while issuing takedown order

    Jump

  • I can see that. Kinda like only enjoying the first 1/3 of each season of American Idol.

  • And The History Channel showed documentaries that weren't about aliens.

  • "Sadly" lol

    (I dunno, I've never seen it but it just does not sound like compelling television to me)

  • And The History Channel showed documentaries that weren't about aliens.

    Jump

  • Sounds about right. I dropped cable in 2010 or thereabouts so probably right around the time that shifted.

  • And The History Channel showed documentaries that weren't about aliens.

    Jump

  • Not to be confused with MILF Island which was a fake show on "30 Rock" that was intended to be so over-the-top trashy no could assume it was real.

  • And The History Channel showed documentaries that weren't about aliens.

    Jump

  • The worst part is when you do see something that seems like a legit history show, towards the end it's like "but what if it was aliens??"

    Bamboozle me once, shame on you. Bamboozle me four or more times, shame on me.

  • And The History Channel showed documentaries that weren't about aliens.

    Jump

  • I don't remember that one.

    Is it this one? If so, that was before my time which might explain it.

  • And The History Channel showed documentaries that weren't about aliens.

    Jump

  • Most definitely not lol. It was just the worst semi-recent example I could think of. Is that show even still on?

  • And The History Channel showed documentaries that weren't about aliens.

    Jump

  • Yeah. Swamp Loggers was okay (at least interesting and sort-of fit the theme of the channel) but the rest definitely were a jarring shift to lazy reality shows.

    Deadliest Catch was pretty fantastic, but I don't remember exactly when it came into the picture.

  • Offline TTS in 2026?

    Jump

  • https://github.com/marytts/marytts

    I've used MaryTTS semi-recently. It's older but works well enough for my cases. I have it running on a server (locally) and my endpoints make a call to it and playback the returned audio file.

    On Android, I use SherpaTTS which has good voices, but I'm not aware of a desktop/Linux option. It mentions using voices from Coqui which you linked, so I would guess that would be the way to go for desktop.

    YSK: The pulled 60 Minutes CECOT segment aired in Canada and is available online

  • Reading "Q-Squared" and trying to follow the track changes has me like...

    Jump

  • Saw some posts and comments from a while back about the Trek books

    That was probably me. I started reading them over the summer and have talked about them quite a bit. I haven't read Q-Squared yet, but I also have it in my collection (not for $1.99 though 😠). I took a break after I finished the Cold Equations trilogy but am probably going to start on the Titan series next.

    Thanks for the heads up about it being confusing to follow. I tend to do marathon reads rather than short sprints, so hopefully that helps. I don't think I've read any of Peter David's books yet, but the ones by David Mack are all great and well paced.

    and not let it ruin the medium

    If you're not a fan of that one, yes, please don't let it ruin the rest of them for you. The Destiny trilogy is absolutely amazing as are most of the ones I've read (though Destiny is for sure my favorite).
