I don’t know, but I do have to applaud how they did Data. First few scenes were enjoyable, and when it got annoying I felt it was purposeful.
I agree with you. Thinking on it, I wonder if that's only a season 1 premise and they'll eventually get beyond that.
Now what would make it really interesting (but they probably won't do) is if this comedy had a backdrop of a weakened postwar Dominion a.k.a this resort planet is in the Gamma Quadrant. It would be very interesting to use it to explore the new power structures that develop in the quadrant since the weakened power of the Founders. You could also showcase how Alpha quadrant polities interact with Dominion worlds (kind of like what we saw with the Karemma in LD "Hear All, Trust Nothing") - we have an episode with Federation diplomats at the resort negotiating a trade deal, for instance (this could even be our excuse to bring in an LD character or two).
Fun Fact: These noises actually comprised much of the background “whir” for TNG. People were used to tuning it out when watching TNG, but were confused when they heard it during one of the DS9 episodes where Alexander came back since they hadn’t heard it for a while.
I wouldn't call 4K mainstream in 2014 - I feel like it was still high end.
I didn't have a 4K TV until early 2019 or so when unfortunately, the 1080p Samsung one got damaged during a move. Quite sad - it had very good color despite not having the newest tech, and we'd gotten it second-hand for free. Best of all, it was still a "dumb" TV.
Of course, my definition of mainstream is warped, as we were a bit behind the times - the living room had a CRT until 2012, and I'm almost positive all of the bedroom ones were still CRTs in 2014.
I'm an XFCE guy. I find XFCE to be nice and fast. It's decently light - not the absolute lightest, but most of its installation size is from dependencies you were going to install anyway like GTK.
For now, it's still on xorg, but I think they're working on it.
Xfce
I think I meant to put TWOK, for Wrath of Khan. TOK was an IB class I took in high school, so my brain defaulted to that.
Honestly, there were weird things about that film, but I think you can't go wrong with Kirk and Bones breaking out of a Klingon prison while Spock, Uhura, Chekov, and Sulu all say "to heck with protocol!"
Honestly, no. I just use direct apt commands on my Debian installs for native stuff, assuming I even use the shell for that; sometimes, if it's not a complex update that's going to hold back 1.0*10^6^ packages, I just use Synaptic or Package Updater, frankly, as one of those is what I have my XFCE Package Update Indicator set to use on any machine I use frequently and it's convenient sometimes.
As for Flatpaks, I just run the flatpak update command whenever I feel bored. I wish Warehouse GUI supported updating, just because I find it really weird that's excluded from an otherwise pretty slick application that gets rid of me having to muck through the Flathub.
I don't write Rust code at the moment, and as for Python, I'm either using the Debian version of Python packages or scattered venvs that follow a de facto standard for Python developers: "What's an update?"
- The mind is usually considered a private area. Most people want their thoughts to themselves under most circumstances.
- Also, this stuff actually predates VOY; In TNG’s “Sarek”, Sarek is hesitant to mind-meld with Picard to temporarily treat his Bendii syndrome.
- On a random note, my history teacher had this as a poster on her wall:
In my elective class on Terran culture at the Academy, they also had me watch the following:
- Empress Bride
- Montilius Python and the Holy Grail
- Subject Kane
- Soldier Who
- My Little Pony: Fascism is Magic
I’m guessing this is a joke, right?
Yeh. This wasn't meant to be a Wesley hate post by any means.
This was meant to be a based observation that while Wesley had less barriers to an officer position than Nog, both still earned their position.
