If You Dream of Being in Star Trek: Discovery’s Starfleet, This is the Jacket For You

I thought “Computer” would be cool since I’m a fan of Star Trek. But now I have to disable my Echo any time I watch Star Trek since they’re always talking to the computer.

If this is your concern, then oh boy do I have something to tell you about that phone in your pocket.

Because people will start asking about Nick Cage and Meg Ryan and complaining about Sarah McLachlan.

Great Lakes Region. We got meat, cheese, corn and all the fresh water. Oh yeah, and guns, lots of guns. So wave hello and just keep on moving.

Still do from from time to time but I got my degree in finance back in ‘85. Since then I’ve consulted for the FDIC, Federal Reserve, OTS, NCUA, and literally hundreds of financial institutions but please, do go on.

What’s the vector, Victor...er...what’s the victor, Vector?

Just because genre, or art, defy exact definition, does not mean there cannot be essential elements to them. That is why my post did not define Sci-fi, merely pointed out a very basic essential element. That element scales well whether talking about greater classifications like Speculative Fiction, lateral genres like…

This appears to exhibit an essential lack of understanding of Sci-Fi. The fictional science must be an essential part of the plot or character dynamic so that, if removed, the story could not occur the way it does. Otherwise, it’s what Piers Anthony coined ‘Bat Barston and the BEMs’, hopping in his spaceship to head…

What, that they are marketing the shit out of this to the point it’s actually starting to become annoying? Look, I’m not saying they should stop, I’m saying I’m tapping out. It’s getting to be overwhelming and it’s close enough (one month) I’m just going to wait for the real deal at this point. I know the cast is…

Eventually he’ll be peeing in jars and building an immense airplane out of laminated plywood.

Problem is every ad-free tier still has some stupid ad of some sort. HBO always runs it idiotic little trailer about upcoming shows. Eons ago I signed up for XM because if was music all the time, no ads. Now I have to sit through endless blathering about upcoming shows, some dj talking about time he watched Mick…

Netflix Tweaked is a chrome add-in that will not allow it to download and stream more than a half-second preview of video/noise. it’s not perfect, but it makes me happy as someone who regularly uses Netflix in a web browser.

I could opt out by cancelling my %$^#ing subscription!

It inspired Tolkien (among many other works), so it definitely belongs in the pantheon of great literature.

When I was in college, I attended a Movie Trivia Night put on by my dorm building. A couple film majors/buffs formed a team together just to bomb the contest by writing down joke answers because they knew they would have swept the whole thing but they still wanted to hang out. One question was, “Who created Star…

Next, has anyone found a way to keep their annoying previews from auto playing if I stop scrolling for a freaking second in the app? I cannot fathom why they thought it was a good idea to just start blaring unwanted video and noise just because my cursor stopped moving.

That’s right.

Brand new atmospheric phenomemon shows up that no one has ever seen before and they name it “Steve” or “skyglow.”
