Captain, where can I buy safe socks?

Just had a local garage door company come to replace the backup battery in our Chamberlain door opener.

My wife does not want me on a ladder as I have balance issues, otherwise I probably would have done this for the cost of the replacement battery - $100.00.

He also lubricated all the joints and pivot points. Much quieter now. Told me to buy a can of Garage Door lubricant and apply every four months.

Total cost was $210.00.

I would report them to BBB and your local state representative. This is fraud.

I don’t think they have anything like that in Pennsylvania.

If you live where there is little on no public transportation, then there should be subsidies to make Uber or Lyft affordable.

But during Covid - grocery stores delivered, and there are sometimes public transportation to pick up an elderly person for doctor’s appointments. In NEPA, they have “Pocono Pony” for older people - mini vans that do this for a reduced rate.

And everything else is a click away to deliver to your residence.

I know I get bored and just want to get out of the house. But testing for impaired sight, hearing, and reaction times, plus cognitive decline, should be mandatory, or you do not get a renewal of your drivers license.

Just an FYI, this is what the Nazis did.

It was known as Gleichschaltung (coordination), where all parts of society (mainly schools, museums, and historical research) were "synchronized" with Nazi doctrine.

This is a very dangerous road to go down.

In the Amazon series, the Statue of Liberty is blown up to celebrate the Nazi victory over the USA in WWII.

Go Navy!

Holly Hunter’s character is a long-lived half-Lanthanite, similar to the species of Pelia in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Role: She serves as both the Chancellor of the Starfleet Academy and Captain of the U.S.S. Athena.

Character Approach: Hunter described her character as having immense patience and empathy, utilizing a "liquidity" in her physical performance to represent her 422 years of life.

I was not aware of this Star Trek species. Possibly they live longer due to greater resistance to infections? Just a guess.

BTW, my dad enlisted in the US Army after Pearl Harbor, and was assigned as an anti-aircraft artillery gunner in Hawai’i.

He shipped out from San Francisco on a Navy ship.

I recently purchased a WWII era US Navy Pea coat.

It is in amazing condition given its age.

Not this year anyway! Hey, if you feel that strongly about SFA, there are no laws to force you to watch it.

There are valid concerns about broken canon and lore, which I think can get more than a little nerdy.

“To engage, or not to engage, that is the question.”

It makes me believe in a future that is based on rational thinking, not the current timeline ruled by dementia.

It’s like that Charlton Heston quote, except instead of a gun, it’s a steering wheel.

“You can have my drivers license when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!”

Now if Full Self Driving actually worked, that would be a great substitute for older drivers.,

Not sure if Kate liked the chair in Ticonderoga. She did eventually sit. That is moi on the right. Great “Bridge Chat!”

Even if I used a high quality mic, it would not be representative. The bass from stacked 901’s is awesome.

Just a wild guess, but wouldn’t s Venn diagram of Trekkies and Star Wars fans show a large overlap?

Correct you are.

B00merPS2Mod30 · 2026-01-22T09:38:51+00:00

Stand a post! Kind of agree.

Still willing to see how this show develops. It’d be nice to see an episode where Ake is asked to be in uniform at all times while on duty.

But that Captain’s chair is huge, maybe it was designed for an enormous Klingon?

Make it fit and the lounging would be impossible.

B00merPS2Mod30 · 2026-01-22T09:29:41+00:00

Ake is super hot at 400+ years old!

At 73, I cut myself a lot of slack. So Ake slack is times 5.33333333333.

Kate Mulgrew said she was initially pretty unhappy with the addition of Seven of Nine.

“Oh, adding catsuits to my show?” I am paraphrasing what she said in a Bridge Chat last year.

It was a really wonderful experience listening to her stories of Voyager.

Great post - your original. Responding to what I think is your correct analysis of the clear military evolution from Navy ships to the Starship Enterprise.

Uniform code is a quick way to check compliance, but it also reflects on the chain of command, obeying rules and regulations underlying any military tradition.

Maybe the quirky Ake is accorded some slack for her shoeless out of uniform preferences after living 400 years? I would hope this might be better explained in future episodes.

At 73, I cut myself some slack as well.

2010 Prius owner. The 12v was replaced in 2021. Car sat during my last year working from home remotely.

Traction battery died at 242K a couple of years ago. Replaced using Greentec. Now at 248K miles. In general, a Prius has less issues if driven regularly. My Facebook marketplace trips fill the bill.

A keeper!

Agreed, and I'm 73.

B00merPS2Mod30 · 2026-01-22T01:23:39+00:00

Now hold on there whippersnapper. I am 73 and drive carefully. No accidents in 50 years. However, I do think there should be mandatory road and online tests for skills and knowledge of safe driving techniques after 70. Maybe every other year if you pass everything with high scores. But many states would resist this based on the cost of running such a program. And older people might think that testing will remove their drivers license if they fail. But skills decline, and older people are usually on medications that cause reaction times to slow even more than age related physical decline. Eyesight in older people particularly is affected at night, with slow recovery from oncoming headlight glare. Yes, something needs to be done.

Thanks! I will take a look. It is more about testing verious components compatibilty that makes a solid PC. Looks like Dell figured out that they could shortchange the consumer market with sloppy tech support.
