really? i’ve been using SXM for over a decade. i’ve never seen a company that is so desperate to keep their customers. they’ll do pretty much anything you ask of them.
tired of paying the bill? then don’t. they’ll cut it off after a few months. then they’ll call and be willing to forgive the past bill, cut you back on, and you probably won’t even have to pay it for another month or two.
whenever whatever deal i’m on expires, i simply call them up and tell them i’m thinking about cancelling. they’ll usually offer something like service for $5 a month, if i’ll pay for 6 months at a time or something.
i’ve never had even a hint of trouble with them in the last decade.
the whole point of having captains out in the black, is for them to make a judgement call on when the rules should be ignored.
Picard had a conversation with Data about this very thing, when Data went with his ‘gut’ to disobey a order.
aka The Motherfucking Kirk Maneuver.
Q is basically inflicted on humanity, the same way humanity is inflicted on the rest of the world.
one of my favorite jokes about this is on TNG. i think it’s the episode where the bridge gets cut off from the rest of the ship, and Troi is in charge of running the ship. O’Brian makes a comment to Ro about how you can’t ‘just reroute power from things’.
it’s a funny little nod from the writers.
if you’re making giant holes in your wall, you’re mounting wrong.
most wall mounts are going to be two or three bolt holes into a stud. they should be about as big around as a sharpie. if you remove the mount, a small dab of spackle covers them.
because the TV is that wide.
not sure what you expect them to do about it.
people REALLY need to learn to let things go. i get it, nostalgia is a powerful thing. that doesn’t mean every show needs a revival.
the thing about nostalgia, is you don’t actually want that thing back. what you want back is how that thing made you feel.
No person can step in the same river twice. They are not the same person, and it is not the same river.
no that is Mr Homn. he was played by the same actor though.
conversely he was also Thing.
i’m 40 years old, and i’ve been working since i was 17.
i have never had any sort of job that paid any sort of benefits. i simply get paid the money i earn from the jobs i do, and that’s it. i’ve never had any sort of insurance, etc. it’s kind of ridiculous. most of my jobs are contract positions. i can’t even remember the last time i worked for any sort of hourly wage.
