  • Yes more TNG sounds good! I'll be honest haven't watched a series since Enterprise, but I do still watch TNG and well most Enterprise and pre series. Not as much Enterprise as the rest mind you.

    Also yes, Orville almost scratches the TNG itch but not 100%.

  • Forget the value for sale offhand but yes you can harvest organs and replace them. Had to remove and put back in a brain when I played last.

  • I've visited Calgary a few times but been over a decade now, one time I recall a turn lane being backed up like a km before the turn, was probably rush hour for that direction so maybe not overly usual, though I wasn't there long enough to find out. What I saw back then was a need for better planning of roads but guess they make do with what they have. This may be completely irrelevant to the entire issue but figure if they lack on some road planning expands to other areas.

  • These days I just assume my memory is shot but I was pretty sure it was EB but all the stores said GameStop when I checked so figured just a memory lapse. I sort of went to an equal amount of each in strip mall or inside versions. I've been in a few different areas over the years though.

  • I keep forgetting that they were different companies from the stories, usually only saw EB games up here. After I typed this I looked and it appears I saw GameStop stores and not EB, oh well guess not much will change since I don't go to them anymore and mostly play on PC these days. Used to quite enjoy getting used console games back in the day from them though, whichever company it was.

  • 1 2 3 4 5? Sounds like the combination for luggage...oh right it's not the 80s, maybe l 2 3 4 $ 6 7 8 with those peaky restrictions of letter number and symbol.

  • When my special ballot hadn't shown up the local election office said that there is still a process to vote in person, you have to sign a statement saying you have not voted yet. It showed up the next day but according to them there is a process but they don't mention it unless it's really needed. It was last Thursday so I was a bit worried I wouldn't be able to vote at all.

  • Damn

  • As long as it took me to really comprehend the rate of change thing and understand how calculus is that, until I read that sentence I didn't think of all the gravity parts impacting a stellar body and velocity in a direction being impacted by multiple forces. Mean I always knew the story of Newton inventing calculus for that but never clicked exactly how it related. The sad thing is it's a sort of thing I pondered a bit on but never quite made the connection.

  • Hah I always confused the name with that one with the episode Disaster (had to look it up Picard and kids winning something), no wonder I rarely watched it. Cause I'm pretty sure they go up ladders in turbolifts in that one so just thought that was that episode. But I recall liking the backwards people starting fires. To be fair I don't watch much TNG these days but still my favorite series by far (also haven't watch a series since Enterprise so may need to catch up).

  • Is that the one they start a fire in the area they're in and then get shown the replicator? If so that general one always stuck though been many years now, but don't recall the laughing offhand. I'll have to watch for Stewart laughing, I love those kinds of reactions.

  • I bought it cheap one sale in the last...oh five years ago or so (time is funny at this age) but I definitely had that experience. Sometime I want to get really into it to check I out but know I'll need to go invest in some training time to understand the mechanics to make the time seems relevant.

    It reminds me of Gothic 1 really, it was brutal but a fun RPG, not as open as this one was(recall it being relatively small to even GTA 3 standards) but open for its era. Think I had to try killing a stupid mob for ages in that one, actually didn't get fa but it was done so well at the time.

  • I learned something new, of course there's a name for everything heh. Thank you!

    Few things more satisfying than learning about what you've pondered off and on for a few decades heh. To be fair never looked it up just thought it was neat it happens.

  • After trying to learn how to use a DAW (digital audio workstation) I end up listening to this so I can hear the same sound with slight variations. Eventually it gets to the same point as when you say a word too much and it starts to lose meaning. Seriously say something like 20+ times, it doesn't click as the word unless you think about it. I'm sure for some people it does, but I've gone back to some trials later and thought oh that's pretty close when I thought it was way off during my workings with it. The human senses aren't as static as we think, but I probably just need more ear training to overcome it.

  • I've used a PC with Kodi on it for my main tv for over a decade now, think I used it under it's previous name even. I've had few complaints, occasionally there's a video that won't play but works in VLC but that's pretty rare. Sometimes it doesn't pick up new videos properly but that's just expected for some file names.

  • And the couch he rode in on.

  • Well we can't assume we know physics completely yet (or within bounds of the question) something down the road may open an idea or ability to generate more power than we know what to do with. If this was a game we may only been on the first or second step of a technology tree. Or we just aren't able to travel that far realistically, we have to overcome our idea of our species being singular and send out generation ships that go for ages (in human time) to explore more as a species, even if the originators (Earth humans) may never know the outcome.

    Of course if we discover that much power we'd likely annihilate ourselves anyways, least with our current society.

    I do mostly agree but I try and think of other possibilities since the universe is so vast.

  • I haven't played in decades, when we did we never had visual aides it was just describing. Okay some visual aides (usually used some dice) to show how the groups were situated but it was usually just the initial setup and we took it from there. Even that was rare though, I sort of wondered how often that happens these days, everyone seems to be talk about maps and such. I thought some of the great part of RPGs was using your imagination for it and the DM(or whichever term) would work with it. That said I can totally understand for more tactical games and this was in D&D 2nd Ed era when it was hard to come by those things unless you paid. The times we played say WoD I don't think we used that sort of thing once, so game system makes a difference too.

  • What if I've been paying for years without incident? There's a thing where I can do autopay for mobile (Canada) where it's $10 off the bill. I always hate the idea of autopay but they've never overcharged a bill....so far. By years I mean it's been over a decade now.

    Mostly curious if your stance still says no to this situation as well. I'll guess yes, but still it's $10 a month so adds up to almost a fast food meal these days lol.

    For no perks I definitely agree, I pay my crap on time and takes like 5 mins a month to pay online.
