One problem

Batteries.

I’ve used old devices as many things: security cameras, a form of intercom, digital picture frames, etc. The real problem is that the batteries eventually go bad, and become dangerous.

For the few devices that have realistically replaceable batteries, that’s no big deal, but how many of those are left now?

No thanks to the potential fire, I’ll pass. The few devices I have left that I can swap batteries out are becoming harder to find new batteries for as well, so that’s an issue beyond their anemic hardware (I’m talking really old tablets at this point)

It was a horrible trek movie. It was, however an okay sci-fi movie, if you pretend it wasn’t set in the trek universe.

Basically a variation on a heist movie imo. That kind of vibe. But it completely failed to fit Trek in any way other than terminology.

It’s not as enjoyable as Galaxy Quest in terms of being an homage to trek, and definitely not as enjoyable as the Orville in that regard. But there’s been way worse sci-fi movies made for sure. I’d rate it around 3 stars out of five, maybe 3.5. There’s sections and characters that bring it down a good bit, but the overall flow is decent

Yeah, if you ever run across the theories of how dogs became so close to us, it started with wolves being willing to take the risks of scavenging near us, and eventually co-evolving (until selective breeding started).

Actively, intentionally domesticating a species is a slow process overall, and it wasn’t something that I’ve seen any specialists suggest would have been the case with dogs, or cats.

You assume it’s a one-way street.

Humans having a proclivity towards “cute” animals is as much an evolved trait as animals becoming “cuter” to better adapt to presence.

Hell, for that matter, it isn’t just us that have a proclivity towards “cuteness”. It exists in plenty of species, we just tend to be the ones most prone to it outside of very similar species.

It is absolutely evolution because it isn’t selective.

Y’all ain’t never heard a southren feller afore?

It’s already an ER spin-off

I didn’t see the title at first, and “fuck yeah” was exactly what popped into my head

Obviously, tastes vary, but the nostalgia crack part of the show is fairly minor compared to the actual story. It’s really there more to establish that it is set in the past and give a quick handwave to character background.

It gets used less after the first episode or two of each season, which do tend to be a bit more focused on set-up and “vibe” building to some degree or another each season.

There’s no guarantee you’d like it, but the first episode of the first season isn’t really a good example of the show as a whole, nor are the first episodes of each season. Imo, they tend to be a way to let both established audience and new viewers “settle in” rather than being integral to the overall plot arcs. They do tend to serve as character updates (after season one where they serve to establish characters) though, so skipping them entirely wouldn’t be ideal. It is doable though.

Which only matters if you’re remotely interested in watching it at all

Well, calling it misogyny isn’t a directly accurate issue, though if you step back a ways, the connection is there. Part of why Hillary caught so much shit was the fact of her being a her in the first place.

However, the joke has existed for decades, long before she was a relevant name in the public consciousness. I’ve heard or seen it applied to politicians since the eighties at least, sometimes with long ex presidents. Hillary wasn’t the first woman to catch that kind of generic joke, Geraldine Ferarra (spelling?) was the target of pretty much every cookie cutter joke like that, and she was nowhere near the hot target Clinton still is now (even after the collapse of her public influence). So there’s room for debate on the joke itself being misogynistic.

But the mods in question definitely nailed that it’s a stupid, unfunny, cookie cutter joke. It’s the kind of unfunny crap people complain about being subjected to at holiday gatherings by an asshole relative that can’t drop their identity politics long enough to be decent company at fucking Christmas.

Also, backhanding the back of someone’s head is an awkward movement when both people are seated close enough together to talk, and it makes this specific use of the joke format fail hard because it engages the logic filters, so if you’re going to use it in the future, consult a professional joke crafter.

We thought, briefly, that our rooster had undergone that since the person we got it from swore up and down it was a hen.

But, nah, it was just a rooster and it was obviously so well before he started crowing.

No more or less flawless than windows, Android, or the iOS stuff.

It’s different flaws.

In a pinch, some superglue liberally applied can either block reception or muffle it so much that anything it could send would be largely useless. Or you can open it up and remove it and hope nothing else breaks in the process.

I’m always the coolest motherfucker in the room, even when I’m also the motherfucker in the comfy chair snoring like a sasquatch with adenoid issues because I am also the sleepiest motherfucker in the room

I just wish Wheaton had gotten better scripts to work with.

He put in the work, and turned in reliable performances across the years of the show, but an actor can only do so much. Wesley was so spottily written that nobody could have made the character entirely likable to the fan base as a whole.

'Pon occasion.

Not every time, because I have to make my own sauce since I’m picky about vinegar on greens. But when I’ve had the stamina to make a batch, yes

Y’all want some collards and beans?

Sadly, nothing that I want to run in waydroid works lol.

It’s an awesome thing, and I’m glad it’s out there though
