Aa!

It really bothers me that Odo didn’t choose to be the same plastic blue barrel that nearly killed Worf

Merlin wasn’t an Asgard, he was an Ancient!

And he lived inside Daniel Jackson for a little while

There most certainly is a Federation President. There is definitely government, authority, and laws, with Starfleet appearing to be the law enforcement.

I remember that marketing campaign. Windows Vista had a shaky launch, because the hardware manufacturers hadn’t polished the Vista-compatible drivers yet. 6 months later, they had caught up, but people still had a bad taste from it.

So when service pack 1 came out, Microsoft made a reskinned version of it and started an ad campaign with “customers” claiming “Windows 7 was my idea!” and the public ate it up.

I’m not saying fan theories aren’t allowed, I just said I’m not a fan of it.

I would hardly call their outings “secret” when it involves Kira getting into costume and walking clear across the promenade before deciding the holosuite isn’t for her. I just didn’t interpret any of the details as “hints they were dating” when the simpler “friends going out to do something fun” was not only on the table, it was clearly the intention of the scene.

For the record, I didn’t see Garak and Julian as dating either. Sure, Garak may have been trying, but Julian was more enamored with the spy scenario and intrigue than Garak himself as a potential partner

Honestly, I’m not the biggest fan of the tendency to interpret platonic relationships as sexual ones. I do get the desire for more representation, but I just wish the community wasn’t so willing to ignore regular old platonic friendships.

I’m sure that comes mostly from me as a guy who puts more emphasis on strong platonic bonds than sexual relationships. But I just don’t see Julian and O’Brien’s “bromance” as a boyfriend relationship, nor did I see Kira and Jadzia’s as dating either.

Yeah she was never lesbian!

She was straight. The mirror version of her was clearly bisexual

I don’t understand how you got that from the image.

Both monitors on the senior side of the image are showing coding environments

The movie can be a little dated, and it has a fairly different tone from the sequel series. It’s arguably not the greatest introduction to the franchise, but it does set the stage with the premise.

Once you get into the sg-1 series, it gets closer to the Deep Space 9 formula. Episodic, but there’s long running story arcs for each season.

I liked it a lot because it was a more modern setting for the sci fi, which was a fun way to tell the story. Like Star Trek, it’s very much the ensemble that makes it work well.

Some people didn’t enjoy when there were cast changes, particularly Richard Dean Anderson’s departure in season 9. He is certainly missed, but I thought they did a good job creating a similar tone without making a carbon copy of his character.

Atlantis was also quite good. Universe was a very strong tonal shift, and the transition wasn’t easy for fans at the time, but I think the show benefits from binge watching. Sadly, it feels like just as it finds it’s footing in season 2, it gets cancelled instead

Not quite this, but I did have a validation team that didn’t know when to quit.

The project was a Windows service, and they would be constantly opening bugs saying “program crashes when we deleted xxxxx.dll”

Like… Yeah. If you delete necessary libraries from the installation directory, the program won’t run correctly.

While Calvin in a Crowder meme is better than Crowder in a Crowder meme, maybe we just don’t use a Crowder meme at all?

There are several others that convey basically the same message

And neither of those are the one I was thinking of, which was Power Play from season 5. It involved condemned aliens posing as the dead crew of a Federation starship.

Honorable mention for the time he was possessed by an energy being pretending to be a ghost

Data went rogue in Brothers, and hijacked the whole ship to go get an upgrade that Lore stole. Near as I can tell, they took no precautions to prevent it happening again, since Soong was surely actually dead this time

Imagine programming a computer without understanding the machine code that tells the CPU what to do

Readable images are irrelevant. Your text will be assimilated into the background of the meme and add its distinctiveness to our own.

I’m fond of Go, which comes with its own auto formatter. It eliminates all arguments over style and format.

This is the future.

It clearly gets repurposed as fuel for the internal sploodge core, which powers the device

This is a great argument for using a pwa in Firefox rather than a native app. Your “in-app browser” can have ad block

Well yeah, what are they gonna do, take the tubes? I’d sooner ask for a site to site…
