  lol I was gonna try and continue the joke but i went to look up the lyrics and this amused the shit out of me. It’s apparently more popularly known as “that song from star trek enterprise” than as a rod stewart song! at least that’s what it indicates to me. Image

  LineageOS Android TV looks like an interesting solution but having SELinux in permissive mode is a bit scary. Maybe someone with more in-depth Linux knowledge can chime in here but my understanding is that would mean that the Android kernel’s security system would basically be turned off. Permissive Mode logs security access violations within the OS but does nothing to prevent them so I would be wary of connecting it to the internet.

  She just hadn’t had her coffee yet okay! On a serious note though I have to agree with @Corgana@startrek.website. The evolving definition of “medical death” as more of a logistical necessity than anything is something that I never really thought about before.

  Janeway apologist!

  “lopsided” font plate was almost a badge of honor back in the day lol because it meant that you had a front mount intercooler that needed air (and if you did the offset plate without an FMIC you were ridiculed endlessly for being a buffoon)

  Unironically this movie is in my top 5 favorite trek movies. It counts.

  I can’t speak for other countries, the EU banned it a while ago, but up until very recently a lot of citrus drinks over here in the U.S. used a chemical called Brominated Vegetable Oil as a stabilizer/emulsifier I think? So at least in the U.S. there can be fats in some sodas. Maybe enough for the THC?

  If you’re particularly lazy and want to check how a plant is doing you can even just microwave to activate it. put it in a glass cup with a damp paper towl under it, cover with a second damp paper towl, cover in plastic wrap except a small gap like you’re making a microwave dinner. Cook for a minute at a time on 20-30% power and let the steam release between cooks. Do that 2-3 times then remove nug from container and let it sit a few minutes on a plate or something.

  The Orville got MUCH less satirical in season 2 and even more so in season 3. I assume Seth or someone let the writers off their leashes when they didn’t get sued by Paramount in Season 1.

  The green hand? That’s the hand of Apollo. The actual Greek god Apollo.

  I went in to this show expecting not to like it, that it was just going to make fun of something I loved for mass market appeal. I’ve never been so happy to be so wrong. This whole show is a love letter to Trek.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just for a moment⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is almost the exact experience I had playing Elite Dangerous in VR one time. I had my HOTAS mounted to the arms of my office chair so the whole setup could swivel. One day I was sitting in orbit over a planet researching a route or something. Ship sounds going in the headphones, comms coming in every now and then, then out of nowhere for just a brief moment I was in space flying that ship. I wish so badly that I could extend that feeling.

  I was thinking the meters with the metal probes that go through yeah. Wasn’t aware that could exacerbate the issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They encouraged us to insulate our home. Now it’s unmortgageable⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “At the root of the problem are cowboy traders (unlicensed tradesman/contractor) who apply the foam without a full survey or appropriate expertise – but because of lenders’ caution, this is affecting other homeowners who had similar work.” also “because surveyors are unable to inspect the roof timbers behind the layers [for moisture], mortgage lenders tend to issue blanket refusals on properties where any foam is present.” Maybe in the U.S. we just use wood moisture meters to check for moisture?

  There are some wild things in the flag code. Like you technically aren’t allowed to have your flag up between sunset and sunrise unless it is "purposefully lit, meaning a light installed for the specific purpose of lighting the flag and not, say, a porch light that illuminates it.
