ptz , to Star Trek in Patrick Stewart: Why I Stormed Off the Set of ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’

I would love for MacFarlane to write that exact scene into American Dad. I feel it would work just as well for Avery as it would for P Stew.

So weird seeing the set so brightly lit. They should have dialed the stage lights down to ‘stun’ for that segment.

I still run an aging R210ii, and it’s been great. Mostly…

If you’re going to use the server for storage (or I/O heavy tasks), you might be better to get the Optiplex since it has SATA-III (6 Gbps) and the R210ii only has SATA-II (3 Gbps). The R210ii also only has one PCI-E slot which limits expansion options.

I think they typically use a black light to confirm that, don’t they? Rodent urine should glow. If you have one, shine it on that spot and see if it fluoresces.

ptz , to homelab in HP Proliant DL380 G8 : SD Card Problems (in iLO4)
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

It’s used as a boot device. VMware used to support booting from SD but dropped support a while back.

I think the largest I ever used was like an 8GB SD card since VMware only needed 2 or so.

OMG that’s gorgeous. I tried to upscale from my DVDs and my GPU almost melted and didn’t produce anything half as good as that.

Like Worf’s make-up lines in the first two seasons of TNG.

Watching them remastered, you can clearly tell the makeup department didn’t even bother to blend.

In a recent comment, Tuberville said it is up to the Democrats to schedule votes on the nominations. “I am not stopping anyone from getting confirmed, and I am not stopping anyone from voting. Democrats could simply put these nominations up for a vote, but they clearly don’t want to,” he said.

Mere paragraphs later…

Tuberville has blocked efforts to have Senate votes on all nominations for senior military jobs because he disagrees with the travel pay policy. And congress is now out on summer vacation, which means there will be no action on the jobs for weeks.

I’m so sick of R’s obstructing, lying, and then blaming the other side for everything. It’s beyond old at this point, everyone sees through it, and yet…here we still are.

One day, I want to go on an adventure and just see how far that takes me.

It’s a little on the nose, considering my display name and avatar, but, “That’s a stupid question!”

At this point “objective reality” is on the other side of the political spectrum, and that’s one of the top 10 most depressing things I’ve ever typed.

ptz , to Star Trek in Anyone else out there who actually really loved Discovery's S1 style of Klingons?
@ptz@dubvee.org avatar

Discovery was my “gateway” Trek which led to me watching everything else (except TOS yet) so I had no expectations or anything for what Klingons should look like.

So I didn’t think they looked “off” until I started watching the TNG era shows. Even then, I just attributed it to artistic differences.

All that said, I do like how they refined what they did in DSC for SNW. Those look more like TNG but upgraded

Gotcha, thanks! I’m still learning how all these different federated platforms work together / what features work where, etc.

Gotcha. Sidebar here doesn’t have that info but clicking through to the kbin page shows them (not sure if they’re different things across platforms or just haven’t sync’d). That rule makes sense, just wasn’t sure how to comply with it.

Still learning how all these different federated platforms work together / what features won’t work where, etc.
