- Comment on NPR: 'Star Trek: Discovery' ends as an underappreciated TV pioneer 4 weeks ago:
the last few seasons of Discovery have been a bit bogged down by the stuff that has always made it a tough sell as a Trek series: overly ambitious, serialized storylines that aren’t compelling; new characters and environments that don’t impress; plot twists which can be maddening in their lack of logic; big storytelling swings which can be confusing and predictable at once.
Yeah, it’s not “underappreciated”. It’s just not very good for what many of us are expecting. I still haven’t gotten through season 3.
- Comment on Why does Sync not display some comments? 1 month ago:
If you’re specifically seeing that there’s one comment, but there are none when you open the comments, The two most likely scenarios seem like the posts are for videos and you have pipe links hidden in the settings, or you have an active user blocked.
- Comment on what's a good way to stick a laser leveler to the wall? 1 month ago:
Some good suggestions already, but I would also keep in mind that you can put a nail in the wall right behind where you’re going to be hanging up one of the pictures. It’s a small hole, and there’s no immediate need to paint the patch since it’s going to be hidden behind a frame anyway.
- Comment on Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech? 1 month ago:
My understanding is that the permits essentially allow you to disrupt things like traffic by having sections of the city cordoned off for gathering/marching. Take this with a grain of salt, as I’ve never had to actually deal with the permitting myself.
- Comment on Worried about being "red flagged" by the pharmacy; should I take the rest of my script back? 2 months ago:
You’re over analyzing it. These medications are prescribed all the time, especially for surgeries. They’re only concerned if you start filling multiple prescriptions for the same narcotics at different pharmacies. They aren’t going to care if you return the pills back. It’s just going to go into a pile with expired medications to get destroyed. I doubt they would make any record of it. You don’t have to take any painkillers if you don’t feel they are warranted. I didn’t take mine when I had my surgery. Once you have completed recovery, if you want to get rid of the medications, any pharmacy will carry the materials you need to destroy the medication safely. I don’t remember what it’s called offhand, but you can go to any pharmacy and ask for some packets of the stuff that destroys medications, and they’ll just give them to you.
- Comment on 1000 years from now physics is forgotten and all that remains is the legend of two hobbits, Charm and Spin, and their quest for the Higgyboson. At this point, is physics true? 2 months ago:
Thanks. Now I’ve blocked them. 🙂
- Comment on Dragon’s Dogma II sales top 2.5 million 2 months ago:
I’m at level 25, and I also have yet to find out how to actually use microtransactions. I assume if I go looking for them through the PSN interface I could find them, but I haven’t seen anything in-game so far.
- Comment on Dragon’s Dogma II sales top 2.5 million 2 months ago:
One neat thing about wakestones is that you can use them to revive NPCs that have been killed. This is cool, but also means that I have honestly used Wake stones just as much to revive NPCs as I have on myself. The main city in the first area actually has a massive morgue that presumably fills up with the bodies of dead NPCs so you can find them easier.

Good riddance!
- Comment on New Era of Star Trek - promotional trailer for new shows on Paramount+ 9 months ago:
Of course there is zero mention of Prodigy…
