  • Cargo ship catches fire in Strait of Hormuz after three vessels hit by 'unknown projectiles'

  • Remember the Mauryee… - !

    Wait what was it called again?

  • Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

    Jump

  • It wouldn’t even solve the half of the problem, though. Men stop harassing women as soon as they are full time employees, what? Background checks are going to prevent harassment, what?

  • Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

    Jump

  • I also think they should be employees. That is however another matter. Being a full time employee has never stopped anyone from engaging in sexual harassment. Workplace harassment is quite common. Let’s not mix up our issues. Hiring them as employees will not protect women.

  • Well said, complete and concise.

  • Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story?

    Jump

  • The Gorn in Strange New Worlds are very far from the Gorn in TOS. The animalistic violence and body horror make for a really interesting enemy and there is a great deal of psychology to the conflict too. People are scarred by past experiences… they live through some really horrific terror. This is a long way from fisticuffs with a dude in a rubber mask.

    I’m not sure if you consider them just recycled nostalgia bait. But I’d say if something gets sufficiently re-imagined it is still “something new” even if one can argue it isn’t “original.”

  • Let’s put it this way: it costs money for them to move or not move.

  • Add to the scary list: that some people think it’s no cause for alarm if a country resorts to grain reserves to survive.

  • YSK you can fold fitted sheets neatly (guide by ratfactor)

    Jump

  • I can’t imagine how you’re getting fitted sheets to turn into a crumpled mess more often than flat sheets.

  • Hegseth declares, 'I only speak American' to room full of foreign leaders

    Jump

  • I’m sorry, I don’t agree with you. I’m from California and we are sitting over here just as aghast as any European nation you could name and larger than some.

    We sent 54 electoral votes for Harris to Washington. You want to show me a European nation that did more than that to stop Trump?

    I understand Americans as a whole have a responsibility. But this guy was trying to make a specific play-by-play call about how Americans are reacting to this back home and I see no logic in sitting quietly and agreeing with that.

  • Joy at Death and Destruction

    Jump

  • I keep thinking back to Trump & JV Dunce lecturing Zelenskyy about how he was carelessly courting world war 3. “You’re playing with world war three!!” Trump yelled at him.

    And then they do this. Just unbelievable.

  • They didn’t have 55% of the population of the country though. Or immunity to the common cold. Or money and clout.

  • Interview: Mary Wiseman On Tilly Settling In As A ‘Starfleet Academy’ Teacher And Dealing With Toxic Fans

    Jump

  • Let’s understand the word “toxic” though. We use the word “toxic” when a relationship or subject has become so radioactive that anything going into it comes out bad, even if innocently intended. Hating on Tilly is pretty toxic now, following an overwhelming amount of pointless hate online. You didn’t create that entire cloud of toxicity with one comment. No one could. But you walked into it. If you just want to innocently express your distaste for this character, you should probably be mad at all the people who made that impossible by flooding the dialogue with mean, stupid hate. Because at this point, making an unqualified swipe at her has gone toxic. If you have something meaningful and critical to say, say it. If you just want to make a jab, yeah, I’m afraid that is toxic now. You can claim you didn’t know, etc but you gotta read the room as it were. Or the room will spell itself out for you, as happened here.

  • Well, it is somewhat obnoxious to show up and say “hey! I’m here and I don’t know what I’m talking about!”

  • Jesus this was hard to read.

    Yeah, that’s a great question. It’s tricky, because a lot of times in acting, you want to kind of give what you receive. And so I felt like what I needed to hold, and what I was reminded of by the director and Alex and everybody involved, is that she’s affected by by this and what this girl is going through and how this girl is responding to her, but also, she’s in a position now where she’s a teacher and responsible for this cadet, and needs to hold things together to guide her through this really difficult experience, which was a really fun thing to play, and really the dynamic in the playing of it was how to empathize with her and receive what Tarima was experiencing and going through and try to steer the ship where I thought it needed to go in order for her to move through this experience and heal and be able to come out better on the other end.

    Something something people experiencing emotions and people experiencing emotions about people experiencing emotions. Damn.

  • Innovation

    Jump

  • I agree there is probably adaptability here. If I were at the cutting edge of innovating on this, though, I would want to eliminate that variable if I could. Plus, in the long run, the camera will still need to be at eye level, because the world is designed for ordinary people whose eyes are there. Even if you could adjust to having your eyes on your belt buckle, you still wouldn’t be able to walk up to a workstation, sit down, and get your job done.

  • It makes sense if you think about it. An artificial eye could be mounted anywhere in theory. But your brain expects images to be captured from that point of view and it’s going to be the best spot to place the camera to make the feed comaptible.

    It also makes sense that this kind of tech would begin with a single video feed. They’ll figure out stereoscopic vision later. So, just the one eye…

    The look makes perfect sense…. And just happens to resemble a borg getup!
