Chief O’Brien’s favorite.
My favorite part is all the inside jokes they pack in as well. You don’t really get all of them as a viewer, but I’ve watched every episode with commentary, and a lot of interviews with a lot of the directors, producers, prop/costume/sfx people.
Nothing beats the “special effects coordinator” guy screaming BIGGER at everyone after they show him progressively larger explosive effects.
I love that every Sci fi show eventually does the “out of phase” episode, and I love seeing the fun twists and flavorings they use to make it “their” version.
Like Stargate sg1 and their crystal skull radiation and advanced dimension-shifting technology episodes.
And my personal favorite lampshading for this is actually from Stargate. in the in-universe parody show “Wormhole X-treme” one of the main character parodies asks “if I’m out of phase, why don’t I fall through the floor?” and the response from the writer/director/producer/whatever he was, was something along the lines of “I’ll have to get back to you on that”
Fair enough, given the small dimensions I figured lightweight and easy to repair/replace is the biggest feature you’re going for.
I considered adding in a “for if you want to take a step up” to it, but that sounded to me like I was trying to say yours is somehow lesser, which is definitely not the case.
Too bad videos can’t give a good idea of sound quality, because I’d love to hear it. Based on the specs I can see, this thing should be a nice little powerhouse in it’s own right!
If you do design another one, here’s an interesting technique I saw on a random YouTube video:
Make an enclosure that fits together so that the walls have a cavity between them you can fill with a combination of plaster of Paris and pvc glue.
This, combined with separate chambers for tweeters/woofers/subs/etc and a little thought for how the sound exits the enclosure, and you’ve got a top tier miniature sound system for a fraction of the cost. Although it will be a little bulkier, a little heavier, and takes more time to design, if you want to take another step up from what looks to me like a pretty good first one. Honestly given the 3d printed enclosure I expected all kinds of distortions and noise, but you clearly did quite well. So please don’t for a second think I’m trying to say “uhh this way is better” it’s just a different way, and one that could be better or worse for many many reasons.
One of my friends from a local theater group I did some musicals with had a brick pin they wear to every pride event they attend.
It’s my favorite pin ever.
I’m gonna have to go with “Inner Light” from TNG
It has so many typical star trek things, but it does lack a few things here and there.
It’s always my go-to when someone wants an episode recommendation to see if they’ll like the show.
It’s almost like it was never about being accurate, and it’s based purely in hatred, racism, and contrarianism… almost
I’m sure they’ll be here any minute…
Oh my god I would have loved him as Scotty.
I love hearing him speak normally because when he gets excited or worked up about something the accent gets more pronounced.
He really amped it up in Stargate as Dr Beckett but he certainly still does have an accent.

The price wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, even with the exchange rate.
As much as I’m all for the “lol get Linux” memes, I don’t know the first thing about Linux, and prefer to debload windows. It sounds kind of dumb and circuitous, but literally everything I do is geared to windows. I wouldn’t even know where to start to move everything over to Linux/win11 vm (which I did notice they’ll preload for an extra 150 which is neat)
Well that’s pretty awesome!
Unfortunately also about $1000 more than what I was looking to spend, but still. Awesome anyway. Do they ever go on sale?
I hope they’re still around next time I want to upgrade!
So I haven’t been keeping up with computer hardware stuff in quite some time, and I’ve actually been looking into getting a laptop for gaming. Yes I know, desktops are superior in every way, except the one that matters most to me. Portability.
So really, what are my choices for non-nvidia devices? It seems like every laptop I see is geared for intel/Nvidia for c/gpu with only a couple offering amd/Nvidia instead.
What are some good places to look for things other than Intel and nvidia?
“talk just as much”
idk man, that guy is a chatterbox. Sometimes you can’t get him to shut up even when the station is literally under attack. Hard to imagine someone more talkative than that.
To be fair, given how starfleet operates, it’s a miracle the warp cores don’t spontaneously detonate at any given moment.
Most species would build two ships if given two warp cores.
Starfleet would weld the two together and try to go twice as fast.
Both?
Both.
Both is good.
Sci-fi shows have moments that weirdly hit really hard.
This scene is one for me.
In Stargate Atlantis when Dr McKay loses his memory in a similar way to alzheimers, I lost my shit.

Sliders has several. Eureka, Farscape, quantum leap, futurama, Battlestar Galactica, firefly, fringe, the list goes on…
I went to a celtic festival earlier today and there was a (male presenting) person in a dress you would expect to see on a docudrama about Jack the Ripper.
Inside this lady of the evening dress was the hariest person I have ever seen in a dress. Take that dark dense patch in the center of rikers chest, put that all over the exposed breast area, the upper back, arms, huge beard, very dense hairy legs. And all of it fiery orange.
That might be approaching “too much” territory, but I gotta say, what we have seen on star trek so far has been alopecia by comparison.
