ShepherdPie , to Star Trek in Star Trek Is Showing More Love To Scott Bakula’s Enterprise

Same here. I also don't see the issue with it. It. Very much fits the vibe of DS9 and TNG and gave us some very iconic characters.

ShepherdPie , to Star Trek in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Wrapping Up Season 3 Production, Work on Season 4 Begins Spring 2025

Seems almost universally praised from what I've seen. With the loss of DSC, I can't see them dumping another show with nothing in the works.

For me the first season was arguably one of the worst. I didn't start enjoying it until around S3 with the time jump, but it's been hit or miss since then. I just can't stand how, for lack of a better word, sappy the show can be with the constant "cut to crewperson's face giving an approving nod while Burnham gives a motivational, whispered speech backed by heartwarming music." It all seems so over the top, lazy, and gimmicky. Rather than write better stories, they want to pull on your heartstrings with cheap tropes to keep people watching.

No, put it under my mattress

ShepherdPie , to Star Trek in Finally, fans are getting what they've been demanding for years, a crossover event between the Kelvinverse and... World of Tanks

It's such a hilariously terrible idea. I've watched through all the series and movies and can't even recall ever seeing a single rover in any one of them. What need is there for a rover when you have shuttlecraft and transporter technology?

ShepherdPie , to Home Improvement in Bathroom vent out the side of the house?

It’s not about the smell, its venting moist air into the attic which causes it to get trapped and promote mold growth like with a sweaty gym sock. The people who built my house just used string to point the vent pipes toward the standard screened roof vents and even that has been an issue. They should ideally be exhausted through the roof with purpose built vents. Even exhausting through the wall or soffit can be an issue as air gets sucked in through the soffit which can pull that hot air with it.

ShepherdPie , to Home Improvement in Can you recommend an LED strip light that can have an unlighted break in it?

No problem. After reading some of the other responses I should point out that the LED strips I listed are all addressable RGB or RGBW. If you don’t want any color, then everything can be simplified (and cheaper) by using the 2-wire white LED strips, though I think using RGB/RGBW is way more fun and dynamic.

ShepherdPie , to Home Improvement in Can you recommend an LED strip light that can have an unlighted break in it?

Keep in mind these are only for 2-wire LED strips so they’d just be pure white of a specific color temperature (cool/natural/warm white) and dimmable. If you can solder stuff together, these aren’t even needed.

You can use any old addressable LED strip (WS2811, 2812B, 2813, 2815, SK6812) for this. The harder part will be routing the data lines correctly with so many different branches. You could always run branches in parallel if effects being duplicated is acceptable. I’d use your photo to route a linear path from start to finish. You can do multiple paths as an ESP32 or controller like the DigOcta can do up to 8 separate outputs. Then you can control it all via WLED (which includes a sunrise effect).

I dunno if lemmy has a WLED community but reddit has a pretty active one or you can use WLEDs native forums to ask more questions and get opinions from a group more focused toward the project you’re working on.

Also you might consider removing those two short branches in the lower left corner of the window by moving that peak a little more up and to the left to help simplify things.
