Feeling? In the dentist’s chair?

WE FORGOT THE ANAESTHESIE!

That was my thought as well.

The CTO at my last job was pulling down millions a year despite barely knowing anything about anything, and being little more than a glorified bully. He got there via project management, after all.

I didn’t think I’d get to use this one more than once.

hate GIMP, have yet to find a suitable Photoshop replacement

It’s been awhile since I’ve tried GIMP. Nice to know that 1. Nothing has changed, apparently and B. I’m not the only one.

I resemble that remark.

Life, uh…

Lore tic

…finds a way.

If you think the Klingon flag is problematic… hooo boy Zeon just takes that cake and scribbles a suspicious mustache on it while raising one arm at a problematic angle.

(And yes, it’s totally on purpose, doesn’t make it any easier to stomach.)

I saved a bunch of these wonderful creations and sent them to my fiancé. I could just link her here, but…

SciShow did a piece (partially) about this recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXEFQH5UXHQ

And Veritasium did a deeper dive a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV3dnLzthDA

The whole situation is thoroughly fucked up, but hey, as long as people are making money amirite? 😑

I just want you to know that you are not alone. Now please pardon me while I go yell at the clouds to get off my lawn.

Thanks, I’ll have to keep that in mind. We just started season 5 of TNG so it shouldn’t be too much longer before DS9 is up.

I’ve also hung onto my old CRT (and consoles, players, etc.), I just haven’t had anywhere to hook it up for the past decade plus. My Blu-ray player does a pretty good job at upscaling, but you’re right - SD is going to look a lot better on the originally targeted hardware.

This is why I own most of star trek on dvd. Cant take that away from me.

I was so disappointed when the HD remasters stopped. I snapped up TOS, Animated, TNG, and all the movies on Blu-ray (replacing DVDs in the case of the movies and TNG) despite them being available on Netflix at the time. I was really looking forward to catching up with DS9 and Voyager the same way since I was only able to catch them sporadically when they were airing… but no, it seems these are doomed to remain in SD purgatory.

While others complained about the glass ceiling, you took your fight to that pesky floor. It may have eaten you alive, but for a brief moment in time you were a shining example of boldly going. Here’s to breaking new ground, Wise Lieutenant. 🍻
