Good suggestion. Our local Home Depot rents these as well.

Idiots.

Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else” - Workers stayed remote even when told they could no longer be promoted. ( arstechnica.com )

Big tech companies are still trying to rally workers back into physical offices, and many workers are still not having it. Based on a recent report, computer-maker Dell has stumbled even more than most....

reddig33 ,

The problem is that the layoff isn’t targeted. Talented people can more easily find another job that will still let them work from home. That leaves Dell with a higher percentage of untalented employees than competitors.

What went wrong: The US government allowed studios to own streaming and broadcast channels. This resulted in extreme fragmentation of the market where programs were no longer sold on the open market and every studio felt like they had to open their own streaming channel to compete.

It didn’t work when studios owned movie theaters and so that was outlawed. Now we’ve come full circle and studios can buy movie theaters. That’s not going to save the theaters because the studio is going to put their product out for a week before shuffling it off to their streaming channel. Or worse, cancel it for a write off rather than let it air on competing networks.

reddig33 ,

Story doesn’t mention which titles were removed, and which were allowed back on the shelves. Or what the legal difference is between the two.

The quotes from the judges were telling though.

reddig33 ,

Nope. They are annoying but they don’t sting humans.

Have you seen how little a professional educator gets paid these days? Most of the smart ones have been forced to move on as Texas continues to try to kill free public education.

reddig33 ,

Just what we needed, more fucking mergers. 

reddig33 ,

His character (and species) was the best part of Discovery.

reddig33 ,

Bring back Hemmer!!!

reddig33 ,

Texas should split into multiple states. There’s at least two blue states out of five in that mass of land.

Dr. Pulaski Appreciation Post ( startrek.website )

I don't know whether it's a popular opinion or not, but I think Dr. Pulaski was a great character and I found her much more interesting than Dr. Crusher. I don't know if it was down to the writing or the performance but Pulaski is one of the best parts of season 2 and I would have been happy to see her character continue....

reddig33 ,

Fantastic actress. She kicked ass as Rosalynd Sheas on L. A. Law among other great roles. Did a great job as Pulaski as well. I really wish Trek would give Pulaski a shout out on one of the other series currently in production.

reddig33 ,

$40k is a lot lower than I thought the average would be.

reddig33 ,

Such a beautiful animal.

reddig33 OP ,

Seems like someone should be invoking the “rogue prosecutor” law in Fort Worth instead of Austin.

Give it time. They’ll add a stop at some point. (If it gets built at all.)

Star Trek: Lower Decks Will End With Its Fifth, Final Season

Well hell.

reddig33 ,

I really enjoyed the live action cameos the two cast members did on SNW. Hopefully there will be more Trek work for them.

reddig33 ,

Hillary would have nominated better judges than trump. It makes a difference who you vote for.

reddig33 ,

I’d be fine with that. The SNW episode where Una went on trial was one of my least favorites.

CBS Chief Says Star Trek Remains A Priority For Paramount, Answers Why ‘Legacy’ Has Not Been Greenlit

Some interesting quotes herein.

reddig33 ,

I’d be interested if it wasn’t set in the Discovery timeline.

reddig33 ,

Anything at season one of Discovery or before. Not really interested in the “super future” era.

reddig33 ,

Please god no more musical episodes.

reddig33 ,

I hope this actress gets some good roles again after Discovery is over. Sort of a palate cleanser for her career.

reddig33 ,

I will wait until the reviews roll in. Not really interested in more Discovery-era content. Still waiting for a maroon uniform era show.

reddig33 ,

Gold pressed latinum only makes sense to me if there are some things that can’t be replicated. Has it ever been explained?

reddig33 ,

Nothing wrong with tiny houses, but these look like they’d blow over in a small wind.

reddig33 ,

Short treks this past season were pretty bad. I hope they get back on track. It would also be nice to see Jon Benjamin and his character make a cameo or two on any of the upcoming shows.

reddig33 , (edited )

The Star Trek movie about God flopped though. And for good reason. Holding it up as an example is like saying, “Well, there’s been plenty of one off crappy Star Trek episodes or movies, so we should make five seasons worth of them” and then say that’s ok instead of wanting better.

reddig33 ,

Dude stole the show every scene he was in.

reddig33 ,

Did the cast of the original Star Trek get a similar award?

reddig33 ,

.local already exists. More idiocy from ICANN.

reddig33 ,

No more Trader Joe’s for me.

reddig33 ,

It’s all very “Sovereign Citizen”.

    Many southern city pockets are still pretty red. I’d say Oklahoma City and Dallas-Fort Worth for example.

    reddig33 ,

    As illustrated in the beginning of the film, “Idiocracy”.

    How’s that hiring of Louis Dejoy going for you, Republicans?

    reddig33 ,

    Hopefully better than Discovery gratuitously using the F word.

    reddig33 ,

    And maybe some flea and tick medication.

    reddig33 ,

    So maybe start bankrolling the democrats?

    reddig33 ,

    Should be pushing for universal healthcare instead.

    reddig33 ,

    Whoever buys it will probably just fill the network with cheap reality trash like they did over at hbo/max.

    reddig33 ,

    So is this an actual Lego product? If so, do you have the product number? I know somebody that this would be a perfect gift for.
