There’s a word for that but I can’t remember. Like saying ATM machine.

I’m surprised I’ve never seen a kid named Atreyu.

What’s crazy is that STE has a more classical theme song. They just only use it for the ending credits afaik. And it still has some stupid electric guitar because its the 2000s and its the FUTURE.

Idk if its true, the youtube edits seem fairly compelling, but I heard that originally the title scene was cut to “Wherever You Will Go” by The Calling. They either had to or wanted to change it because the second episode of Smallville used the same song for it’s closing scene (which aired just weeks before Enterprise’s pilot). What shits me off is that they went and added some STUPID ELECTRIC GUITAR RIFF to later seasons for, what, royalty reasons? Like they already had a turd and decided it was cheaper to stuff it full of corn and claim its a new turd than to pay a turd license.

So disappointed that nobody ever tried to like run away from Riker by putting a high chair in his way.

frfr. We almost had the Federation-Romulan war with Jeffrey Fuckin Combs on the bridge of the Enterprise (as some sort of military advisor/strategist.)

Who’s Stinky? You keep talkin about some guy named Stinky.

Either way is good IMO. Even if they just look at the pictures and imagine their own stories I have to believe that’s good for a developing mind.

One of these days I need to go and read through the Calvin and Hobbes collection I bought for my bookshelf when it was on a steep discount. I remember reading them all the time as a kid.

This should be hanging in a museum.

oh… oh no. that makes Tuvix a half-slut.

The paper this article talks about was authored by an evolutionary biologist that wanted to talk about environmental science problems and social responsibility. Ignoring the concepts of personal property and ownership and stuff, think about this for a minute. 81% of Americans own a yard, but how many of them do you see growing crops in that space? How much more effectively COULD that land be utilized towards the common good if it were managed in some way? Or from the other side: the Alaskan government had to step in and put a halt on Bering Sea crab harvests for a few years because the numbers were critically low. Do you think all of the individual fishermen who are reliant on that income would have voluntarily stopped? Would they even have known the crab population was dwindling?

I’ll allow it, but only if we can somehow put the same flashing red banner on top of politicians in real life.

I know this is sort of still doable with aliexpress kits, but I miss the days of being able to make “weird” builds. My first build was an Athlon XP-M 2500+. It was a mobile chip that was just a binned desktop chip. It used the same socket as desktop, had no IHS, and ran at a “lower voltage” thanks to the binning. Overclockers DREAM in back in like 2005.

There’s a reason they call it the tragedy of the commons.

Edit: The full paper is available online if anyone is interested. Here’s a copy from a university in Michigan. https://pages.mtu.edu/~asmayer/rural_sustain/governance/Hardin 1968.pdf

Remember when search summaries were just extracts from the top result instead of LLM hallucinations? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Huh, I’ve been watching them since like 2016 or so and I seem to remember him hosting more frequently back in the day. Seems like now he does most of the main channel videos while everyone else handles Short Circuit and the like. My personal theory is that Linus is grooming Elijah to be his replacement. But we’ll see.

He’s also put a lot of work into creating a team of hosts that are genuinely wonderful to watch. Riley, Jake, Sarah, James, and Elijah to name a few. Best thing he could do for his brand is step out of the limelight, focus on being “chief vision officer” and let his wonderful talent fully take over hosting.

Case in point - see the Firefly bluray transfer. I think they took the format name literally because the black levels in some scenes got raised to the point that there’s just this blue haze in parts of the scene.
