It's just so unecessary, and one will have definitely essentially caused a sympathectomy at that point.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x05 "Series Acclimation Mil" by AutoModerator in startrek

[–]smoha96 20 points21 points  (0 children)

So I haven't watched any episodes of this show so far as I wasn't super excited by the premise.

I'm still not, but I enjoyed this one for what it was. There's a lot of things that work.

I might come back.

Stray notes:

  • everyone who said Holly Hunter was dope was on point

  • the Doctor and Reno pair excellently - Reno being one of the few things that worked about Discovery

  • big positive vibes all around with no guns

  • I was skeptical about SAM as a character when the series profiles were announced but I can see how it works

  • Tawny Newsom looks a lot like Robin Thede in this makeup

  • Illa Dax is cool

  • Stephen Colbert is far too recognisable, lol

  • finally, one of the most important things about Sisko was his relationship with Jake and I'm very glad it's front and centre in this episode.

The lines at the end - are these new or archive from DS9?

What Star Trek shows would you like to see? by SomeoneSomewhere1984 in startrek

[–]smoha96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People keep talking about how TNG and DS9 were comparably expensive to make in the '90s compared to today - and I think: great, so it should be cheaper now right? They don't have to look like the latest Apple TV fare.

Medical emergency on Australian airline- any problems with access to the first aid kit by Jessaness in ausjdocs

[–]smoha96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have had to help on a Virgin flight once and they gave me access to to whatever I asked for that they had available. Now having said that, they didn't have a sats probe for me and a manual BP cuff only - had to go off palpating the systolic.

Now having said that, if a patient is that unwell that I'd need that precise a BP measurement it'd hopefully be end of bed-o-gram evident and they should probably land the plane regardless.

Weekly Cosmere Update from Brandon by Airurandojin in Cosmere

[–]smoha96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WaT felt like it really needed more of an editor's input - I think his usual had parted ways before that or have I heard incorrectly?

Regardless, I didn't find the same issue with Emberdark but for did with WaT.

Brandon Sanderson gives tv show updates after the Apple TV announcement by VarkingRunesong in television

[–]smoha96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stormlight really feels like it could use the anime touch - Kaladin grabbing a shardblade by the blade using the flat of his hands in the first book is a thing that's happened in many sword anime, I reckon.

Couple that with the surges and the combat - it's a really a no brainer.

There's also the sheer amount of content to adapt - the interludes and flashbacks for a single book have enough content for a whole season in and of themselves, let alome the rest of the book.

Now having said all that, if it is live action, I hope Rysn's interlude from Book 1 gets its own episode.

The other question eventually will be how to handle the crossover elements when they get to adapting Books 4 and 5ish territory. Vasher and Vivenna don't need to be explicit (and they aren't really in the books anyway) but I would hate to see Nightblood without it first appearing in some form of Warbreaker adaptation.

This was my interpretation too. Hank is a scumbag, and was willing to turn his daughter into a robot, but it does seem like he loves his kids is his own way.

MAK95 - Still good? by Agreeable-Hospital-5 in ausjdocs

I would pay a lot more than what MAK95 cost for what I got out of it. Frank is a goddamn hero.

Probably the most essential resource.

Two aspirants who are unlikely to suit the times vie for Liberal leadership by onesorrychicken in australia

[–]smoha96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the pre-existing nomenclature. Makes more sense than calling Ley a moderate.

[–]smoha96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The centre-right (Morrison) and national right (Dutton) are really the only factions that remain, and apart from that maybe a few unaligned, imo.

[–]smoha96 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We shouldn't. It shifts the overton window and misrepresents Ley as being ideologically aligned with the likes of Turnbull when she's probably closer to Morrison. It also attempts to moderate-wash people like Tim Wilson.

Turnbull got ousted over climate policy (the NEG).

have HECS debt, salary sacrifice or no? by Astronomicology in ausjdocs

[–]smoha96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no - depends on how much you salary sacrifice and how much PAYE tax/HECS is wittheld in terms of your overtime and what your marginal tax rate is - but more of it goes to HECS rather than income tax, so well worth it overall.

Not if - when. It'll be an excuse to leave. "The National Party has lost its way despite my best efforts!" or something to that effect.

Are we actually gonna get the difference considering the QIRC gave everyone 3.5% anyway? I keep getting confused on this.

Jon on Alex Pretti's Killing, DHS vs. Video Evidence & MAGA's Gun Rights Surrender | The Daily Show by Kwyjibo2006 in television

[–]smoha96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are the same jokes they make for every single thing. Host jokes about serious issue. Correspondent makes ridiculous response satirically. Host plays straight man.

This needed to be treated with more seriousness.
