No, I just couldn't remember exactly when. And as another commenter pointed out, what I should have said was analog TV's.
Yeah you're right.
The static on old CRT TVs with rabbit ears was the cosmic microwave background. No one in the last 25 years has ever seen it.
I'll sign the petition for $1 million. Since voting is confidential I definitely won't vote for Harris anyways.
unfortunately, I don’t think that he actually believes in Christianity, because if he did, he would believe in hell and he would know that that’s where he’s going. Even though it’s all fairytale.
Always so positive. I aspire to that but often fail. It's difficult when you are depressed.
Good point.
Fair point. Though if they weren't needing to go up against oversized trucks, it wouldn't be as much of an issue.
Most other countries I've been to, all the trades use these, and seem to have no problem getting projects done.
Lying on the couch feeling anxious about the things I should be doing.
This has already been posted plenty of times.
I can't unsee her as Saw ever since seeing that post yesterday.
I wonder which way they vote.
I had this done in about 1 square inch on top of my foot for a staph infection I got after crashing my bike. It was insanely painful.
Yeah that's kinda my point. First of all, how is the US even involved in this. Second, the US is comparing us to another countries distribution of basic food needs. We have a whole host of people who can't afford bread. So how is this a flex?
The United States has seized Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro’s airplane after determining that its acquisition was in violation of US sanctions, among other criminal issues. The US flew the aircraft to Florida on Monday, according to two US officials.
“We see these officials and the Maduro regime basically fleecing the Venezuelan people for their own gain,” the US official said. “You have people who can’t even afford a loaf of bread there and then you have the president of Venezuela jetting around in a high-class private jet.”
Um. Hypocritical much?
I’m on my umpteenth rewatch of DS9, and I"m in season 6, when it really gets goood. And, as you are all aware (It’s a fake!).
I often listen to TNG or DS9 or VOY as I know many of us do to fall asleep, but once again, I couldn’t close my eyes for “in the pale moonlight”.
I think it's a work of art on its own, but when you bring in the holier than thou morality of the federation, mixed with the horror of seeing all those names on the casualty lists, it really brings Star Trek to its knees - in, as usual, a major crisis of morality: the needs of the few, or the needs of the many?
That question of doing something bad, something that goes against one's morals, and yet will save thousands of lives of people you care about, is quintessential star trek. For me, this is when ST really gets good (and I’m a TNG zealot).
I think that I have wanted to write this on every re-watch and have never managed to do so because I’m a stupid ass dumb fucking idiot. I’m sure that many ST fans have written volumes on this very famous episode, but regardless, it deserves to be brought up over and over again, and should serve as a reminder of how incredible this episode was. This is the shit that makes ST great.
Sisko was out of options. Garak could open alternative options and Sisko asked Garak for what he needed, even if he didn’t realize it at the time. He was angry when he got what he asked for. And then…
“So I lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all, I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. Garak was right about one thing. A guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Alpha Quadrant, so I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it.”
Even better, the episode didn’t treat us like children with showing a callback to the beginning of the episode, but I will fall on that sword… From the first scene:
GARAK: It would mean calling in all my favours, Captain. To do what you’re asking would use up every resource I have left on Cardassia. And it may be a very messy, very bloody business. Are you prepared for that?
SISKO: I posted my fourteenth casualty list this morning. I’m already involved in a very messy, very bloody business. And the only way I can see to end it is to bring the Romulans into the war. I am prepared to do whatever it takes to accomplish that goal, but I can’t do it alone. I need help. Now, are you in or out?
GARAK: I’m in.

Can't scroll if starting with finger on the movie. And becomes major issue when video is large enough to fill entire screen. Iphone 13.
Aside from the few that found a very still pond and figured it was worth looking at.
This would be helpful in making it more obvious which account I'm using.
