If I played a Trek character, I would write a 10-novel series with my character as the main.

And not some 60K-word/200-page things either. They would be monster tomes that would put GRR Martin to shame (especially, since I would finish mine).

Currently, everything is setup on my main desktop which is currently on a battery backup as well as my modem and router since we occasionally have a “blink” in the power which could frack up my entire setup. I’ll move to a proper NAS setup with a mini-PC eventually, but it’s not a priority.

I use Jellyfin as a whole “Netflix” experience, where the library is always expanding and nothing ever leaves the library unless I just get annoyed (looking at you, Netflix ATLA). I’ve got about 20TB of space spread across three drives and backups of everything, so whatever sparks my whimsy to add to the library gets added. Someone quips, “Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica” and I think, “Hm…maybe I should Battlestar Galactica to my Jellyfin?” I add it, and it’s just there whenever I’m ready.

I’ve shared with 8 friends and family so far. They don’t all use it constantly; some forget about it, some watch it all day and night for like 5 days in a row, some ask for something and watch immediately, others ask for stuff and don’t watch ever.

I have to add that Jellyfin has actually been life-changing for me. Prior to Jellyfin, my solution was a cheap laptop attached to each TV in the house that held a fair amount of my total content via smaller external drives, and there was no cohesiveness, so I could never “get into” shows because I’d have to remember where I’d left off, and make sure the files were copied to the relative laptop, or somehow try to stream from the main desktop through Windows Network which didn’t always connect.

Now, have access to every single part of my collection on all three TVs, and share with my friends and family who have given up on paying for 7 different streaming apps, and also I have access to everything when I travel.

I just wish that I was adept in some language so I could actively help with a project I love so much. ☺️

This ancient monopoly board is clearly indicated with pictorials the way Park Place is in purple, etc.

It’s been about a year for me, too. I never engaged in the Trek community “over there”, but y’all are a fun set of folks here. Cheers!

I mean…it’s not like this wasn’t the exact same issue that was present like 8 weeks ago the last time we saw this event.

$10 says that this will be present in another 6-8 weeks too.

This was my biggest issue. I live in a townhouse with a carport-ish thingy, but the same issue applies.

How does this app work given the API costs? How does it manage to not deliver ads?

I ask because, while I’ve currently embargoed myself from Reddit, I’d like to have some details noted so I don’t fall in love with this and then get hurt again.

To be fair, it’s not like he purposefully planned for Alexander. He was just sort of thrust upon him and he wasn’t in a position to really adapt well.

Oh snap! She’s even losing at losing!

I don’t think she was a bad actress, but she was “cluttering up” the bridge. Worf was always a far more interesting character and, once she was gone, Worf got to shine brighter.

Time to recall “Recall”. And fix Windows 11 and repackage as W12 while they’re at it.

Right, right. Korkie was Satine’s nephew.

Took a nap FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!!

I feel attacked! 😤

Dude…This is the most Trump thing I’ve ever read.

Trump agreed to donate (the sculptures) to the Met as long as the costs and the ability to physically remove the Art Deco artifacts were not unreasonably expensive.

Trump surprised New York’s art community on June 5, 1980 when a demolition crew jackhammered the sculptures off of the building. In addition, the intricate grillwork was removed. The destruction drew a public outcry. The Met received no advance notice.

Trump initially avoided any comment about the Bonwit Teller artwork. But John Baron, a spokesperson with the Trump Organization, contacted the New York Daily News to discuss the situation. Baron informed the Daily News that “the merit of the stones was not great enough to justify the effort to save them.” Baron stated that the removal process could have set back Trump Tower’s construction timeline by two weeks. Baron also told the New York Times that he had no idea what happened to the ornate grillwork.

Long after Baron’s initial contact, the New York Daily News learned that John Baron was actually Donald Trump, in disguise.

Board and staff members at the Met were furious and confused about Baron’s claims that the sculptures lacked merit. “Can you imagine the Met accepting them if they were not of artistic merit?” asked Ashton Hawkins, a Met board member.

The day after “Baron” called the Daily News, Donald Trump released a statement, claiming that the sculptures had to be reduced to stones. “My biggest concern was the safety of people on the street below…people could have been killed. To me, it would not have been worth that kind of risk.”

Though Trump claimed that the removal of the sculptures would have cost his organization approximately $500,000, an initial estimate, made public, amounted to a $32,000 expense.

These are all fair points. I might give it another shot, but my first watch was rather rough.

How do they defend it?

I’m generally curious about what they liked about it and how they frame it.

It’s not the fact that it’s going to happen that troubles me, but the how.

Car accident? Fall down the stairs and snap my neck? Some guys break into my house and rape me before slitting my throat? Sleep apnea doesn’t end in me suddenly waking?

There are millions of possibilities. And then, my brain has to grapple with the lack of existence. How does kaitco simply stop existing? I spent some 13 billion years not existing and then I’m here, but then I’m not?

Anywhoozle…I’m gonna go play video games for a couple hours.

Well shoot! I’d never thought about that and now I’m mad!

Give Tom Riker his promotion!
