Yeah, but you know that all the Star Trek shows had really bad growing pains. Hell they coined the term ‘growing the beard’ to cover how much better Star Treks get after they work out the kinks.

I’m jealous of you. You’re one of the lucky ten thousand today. DS9, especially after the first season working out of the kinks, it great.

You know you’re right about Holly Hunter, she’s so good as Ake I flat out forgot she’s Holly Fuckin Hunter my bad there. But as much as I love Tig, and do love Tig Notaro, (Jet Reno is my favourite engineer since O’Brian) she’s B or C level celebrity and she’s a supporting character., she’d have time to do Zootopia 3 even if they had 22.
But you’re right very few shows do longer seasons for a lot of reasons. I just think that it’s trade off I’m not in favour of. I miss how longer seasons made shows try more interesting things, and gave the Arcs time to breathe. The Dominion arc in DS9 felt epic in part because it was so long.

Eh 13 seems to be the standard. But then if the show’s a hit then a back 9 raising it up to 22 or at least second season of 22 does seem to still be a thing for broadcast TV at least. But STA really would have been helped by another 3 episodes.
No one in any Star Trek series is what I would consider A-list so I’m pretty sure all of them would be happy to do a 22 episode season.

I didn’t know that the 10 episodes limit was a Paramount rule, really I miss the 22 episodes season. That length forces the showrunners to work harder. Some the best TNG episodes are bottle episodes or limited cast episodes. Lock everyone in a room and you might get another ‘Measure of a Man’ or if whole cast is run down and shooting catch up scenes focus on the bit players and you can get another ‘Lower Decks’ (the episode not the series). If there were only 13 episodes a season on TNG there wouldn’t have been time enough to grow Gordie as a character or create O’Brian or … the list is too long.

_I still feel, based on how much difference an extra two episodes per season makes to a low budget show like The Ark, that SFA would be stronger and better able to serve its large cast with 12 episode seasons.

I hope we get more on SAM’s development and integration of her two memories in season two._

I’ve always been against the modern short season system. SFA is a classic example in my mind. SFA really needed another couple of episodes to breathe. I’d have been quite happy to have a few less SFX heavy episodes to have just more episodes.

Fuck Man, not just in documentation, in my whole life. I hope it’s because I’ve become better but I know there’s stuff in my past I’m fucking embarrassed about. And I know there are people I’ve hurt. But today I’m trying to be better.

So write some fucking documentation motherfucker be better this time.

In a post scarcity society time is the only limiting factor and taking time out of your day to cook for others is going to be one of the greatest gifts you can give.

Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about!?!?
Seriously it sounds interesting but I have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about, can you explain it to me like I’ve had a TBI?

I hadn’t really seen that point of view before but I really like it. Shit has sucked for a while maybe some stories about how cool fixing it would be are what I need.

Welcome back! I enjoyed both these episodes. I don’t like this time period, the post burn Federation. The rebuilding could interesting but it’s not really aspirational and I really could use some aspirational content in my life, vaguely waves at every thing.

As a visual learner this really helped me to understand. +1 good explaining. I would like to subscribe to you newsletter.

Ah yes it’s not perfect so lets burn it all the fuck down! If you read the article you’ll see that GTFO offers a bunch of service for people, but you don’t need them to apply for a DAFT visa at all. But yes moving to another country costs money, hell moving across the city cost money. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look at the idea. The ship is on fire, you might need to get a raft.

Death’s Door - I’m not going to lie I’m old. 3d platformers, hell any platformers that require quick reflexes and precise controls aren’t normally my bag, but this funky little crow is so much fun to play as, I don’t mind the difficulty. (Which I have to admit isn’t that hard I just suck)

Thank you so much! Seriously, that’s awesome explanation and I feal like one of the lucky 10,000 today. Are you a teacher? Because if you are your students lucky. If not I’m lucky.

Those are I’m fairly sure, words. But for the life of me, your so far outside my area I’m completely lost. Can you explain it to me like I’m a clever twelve year old?

I’ve been using a linux box auto-starting Kodi which is controlled by an MCE remote for about 10-15 years now. Both my partner (who is tech negative, seriously everyday they yell at their work laptop) and 5 year old kid at the time had no trouble with it. I personally love it. With the add-ons and such I’ve basically turned it in to a Home Entertainment Center. I’ve download Lutris and with a little tweaking I’m emulating a ton of old games and I’ve installed the Kodi add-on that lets me integrate Lutris to I don’t have to leave the Kodi environment and bale to desktop is which is great. I’ve also got an add on in Kodi to open Steam in big picture straight from a button on my Kodi favorites. So I can go from playing Slay the Spire on Steam to watch an episode of Scrubs to playing Mario Kart Double Dash in Dolphin, all with out seeing the desktop.
On the other hand I haven’t invested in one of those fancy remotes that lets me power on the PC so before I sit down I got turn on the PC which means the PC sits on a shelf in the living room. But to be honest we often leave it on for days on end, which I suspect racks up the power bills a bit, but lets me just turn on the TV and go. I also haven’t invested in a HDMI - CEC set up so I have to have two remotes one for powering on the TV and a second for everything else. And getting Linux to recognize my 3.1 soundbar is a forking nightmare it still only see it as a stereo soundbar but hey it still sound good.
Over all I really love the Kodi HTPC set up for the heft of added home gaming stuff,but if you’re looking for something more low profile I have a Raspberry PI running OpenElec stuck to the back of my bedroom TV with double-sided tape. OpenElec is a branch of the Kodi main steam for small PCs. The bonus on this is that the Pi’s have built in CEC so you will only need the one remote.

Yeah being a good cook is serious turn on for a lot of people. And those people are often better lovers too.
