  • Favorite movie continuation of a TV series?

    Jump

  • Certainly NOT Dead Like Me. Still salty about that one.

    Serenity and Star Trek as others have said are proabbly my actual favorites. The original Naked Gun movies were based on the short-lived Police Squad show and are as close to maintaining continuity as anything ZAZ could be. Then, the original Transformers animated movie gets more credit than it deserves due to nostalgia and not being a Michael Bay mess, but it had no business being even as good as it was.

  • Rechargeable electric arc lighters kinda suck for the average person, and will typically end up as e-waste.

    Jump

  • But, and hear me out here, it's also wicked cool.

    Ours is more stick-shaped though, and really only good for candle wicks. If we smoked, you might be able to get a cigarette into the arc. It'd probably also work well if your grill's or gas stove's spark igniter was broken.

  • Happy 40th

    Jump

  • All with full 40s sets?

    Oh, God no. Sorry! Mostly they're on more normie boards, but the Mitospeed being R3 and full of nonsense legends would go well on a 40 or 40-adjacent.

    I've reluctantly come to realize that I just don't like the feel of Cherry all that much. I prefer DCS if I'm going to go cylindrical. The sharp edges on Cherry are just all wrong for my poor typing technique.

  • I got Tatooine, Oblivion (Hagoromo), Laser, and Mitospeed for some pretty steep discounts, as well as the DSS Honeywell from PrimeKB. My options for cheap but unused SP are quickly drying up though, lol.

    Funny enough, the board I come back to most often is the first one I did on the no-stabs PCB (minimum order quanity is a burden to us all!), which has semi-sculpted Akko SA on it. When avoiding stabs, good 40s kitting is essential even if I also need a numpad.

    Jump

  • SA Teletype is such a pretty set, and I really like SA R3, and the designer seems like a good guy. It was the one time I was seriously tempted to pay full price for "name brand" keycaps. I don't even use 40s, but I had a layout rigged to adapt an existing no-stabs FRL 1800 PCB I designed a while back.

  • She's a security risk

    Jump

  • Why do you think Starfleet had to set that up in the first place? You think they WANT a huge network of oversized saltwater-flooded Jeffries tubes running alongside the constantly infiltrated and poorly electrically insulated normal ones?

  • Would the tart blueberries taste as good if you didn't have to randomly power through 3 to 5 bland ones between each good one?

    Jump

  • Interesting. These say they're from Mexico. It would be pretty underwhelming if there's a blander variety.

  • But the tart ones are the good ones.

  • Raspberry for me, though I'm not sure if it's fully artificial or "just" ultra-processed. It's also partly because I like that flavor but I'm mildly allergic and about 25% of the time I eat it, my lip swells a bit, so I try to minimize how often I have it.

  • Bethesda could have made a Fallout movie or TV show a decade ago, but "credit to Todd Howard," they refused Hollywood's offers until they found "the right partner"

    Jump

  • Fair enough if that's what you think, but I've played them all, going back to 1 and 2 on computers where I had to check the system requirements, and I find the show to be very watchable and fun. Have you given it a chance?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I don't know what they're on about. I was just doing a replay of F:NV, and the Strip and Freeside sets alone are enough to satisfy most of your fan service needs. There were little nods to the lore and game mechanics all over the place in both seasons, to the point where I actually got pulled out of the story a couple of times.

    I get why they didn't focus on feral ghouls, because this isn't The Walking Dead, but...

    They are there, and Cooper in particular does drugs specifically to avoid going feral.

  • What are movies/tv series that has the same vibes of Shrek movies?

  • The new Microsoft copilot key is impossible to properly remap.

    Jump

  • I was using a 2012 "vintage" minitower PC that originally came with Win7 as a crappy little plex/local FTP/Minecraft server, and I had been wanting to try MacOS after not seeing it for a while, so I got a Mac Mini with an M2 in it, and while I've hardly stressed it, it seems really nice. It's small and completely silent, and if I did want to use it more, Apple has certainly tried to keep their walled garden pretty and well-organized.

  • Reddit Mod Deleted Breathtaking Photo Taken by NASA Astronaut From Space Because It Was "Blurry"

    Jump

  • “Tower, can we get a speed check?” another user joked, referencing a frequently posted meme referencing the SR-71 spy jet. (For the curious, the ISS orbits the Earth at a ground speed of 17,100 mph, while an average passenger jet travels at around 500 to 700 mph , depending on conditions.)

    It's the "whoosh" of providing the additional context as though it were getting to the real heart of the joke that makes it look bad, and simply linking to that copypasta comment like they did to the one above it would have helped.

  • It's funny... In some ways, I think he adored the stories they were telling, and particularly the potential the characters and the setting held, but he really seemed to dislike the production environment and many of the specific decisions that were made. He is an artist with a very specific voice (lol, literally even) and mindset that was maybe poorly suited to making Star Trek his "thing."

    God though, can you imagine if the brooding-to-manic Sisko acting roller coaster had become iconic in the broader culture like Shatner's staccato shouting and dramatic pauses?

  • Sweet tea, at least proper sweet tea, isn't really about the tea. The tea is just there to add some color and a subtle note to make it caramel water instead of sugar water. It's pure diabeetus juice, but it knows what it is. Like many methodical killers, it has a clarity of purpose that can be acknowledged and respected.

    The real question is why are you punishing yourself by drinking unsweetened iced tea? That's just cold dishwater that no one respects.

  • Judge cites Gospel verses in releasing Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from immigrant detention

    Jump

  • Some highlights:

    “They seek nothing more than some modicum of due process and the rule of law,” wrote Biery.

    He said the case of Conejo Arias and his son “has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children."

    “Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The Constitution requires an independent judicial officer.”
