Ugh. I’ve run into this. Even when they are actually speaking English, no one would actually call it understandable English. Very common in technical and engineering related subjects.

Mobile internet is hot garbage.

I don’t know what hex-bear is.

That entire site is toxic as all hell.

How many people have been banned from one sub because they posted in another sub? It happened to me, and I’ve heard it happening to a few others. It wasn’t even anything bad or offensive or controversial. It was literally just the fact that I posted in one sub, made the mods in another sub think they could ban me in this other sub. WTF? And of course there is zero recourse with those clowns.

Is that device out of production? They might be counting on limited availability to jack up prices.

Is that product not available in all markets? They might be counting on someone in Sweden, who might not be able to buy that device is willing to pay a premium.

Was there a recent price drop? Maybe this is listed in the product’s old peice amd they are slow to drop it.

I wonder if it it just straight up money laundering.

No way to hack the hardware and allow it to be used for something else?

They are laughing at you, not with you.

If you think it is bad at Target, go to the local Walmart.

I really think that can be said for a lot of shows. First few episodes, and sometimes the first few seasons don’t hit like the later ones. Simpsons, Seinfeld, TNG, Arrested Development and a lot of other shows were constantly on the cusp of getting canceled until they got their audience and the writers hit their stride with the story.

It happens so much to shows that we know ended up turning out good, that it always makes me wonder how many shows were canceled a few episodes or maybe a season or two sooner than they should have.

Oh I get that was the tone of shows back then. Get Smart was another one. It’s just not my cup of tea for the most part.

Of course the irony is that I think shows (especially movies) these days are too serious and I almost wish they were a little more fun and playful like they were back in the 60s/70s. Just as long as they don’t go too silly.

I wouldn’t say they are related at all, at least in terms of how the TV comes off vs the movies even though the cast is the same. TOS TV show is not too dissimilar to the old school Batman show in it’s corniness. Not to that level of silliness, but they were contemporaries of each other when they aired on TV in the late 60s.

Picard is definitely the top card there, but seriously the rest of the cast was damn good too.

Had a rather large crush on Beverly and Troy. Hubba hubba

I’ll probably get wrecked in here for saying this,but I never liked TOS. It’s so campy and hokey. Even the movies with the original cast don’t interest me all that much. I respect them for paving the way for TNG, but I’ll never choose TOS over TNG.

TNG > OG series any day, everyday.

She was busy paying attention to her phone.

To be fair, you can’t really see what kind of ship that is from more than 10 or 15 feet. The lettering is big, but from afar you just see a white blur of a ship. And if you’re tall it makes seeing the ship clearly even more difficult.

What lemmy.world has done is make it so you can’t see anything from those piracy instances when browsing from Lemmy.world.

Wow, that’s really shitty.

I’ll have to make an account. Any specific communities?

So can you talk about pirate-related stuff there? Is it all free and open or more of a wink-wink-nod-nod type of thing where you can’t talk about where pirate stuff comes from?

Yes I understand that, but if those people had a following and support from the government or a political party it becomes much more serious than if it’s some random drunk after a Friday might bender.
