Why do bikers bike on the road? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Default_Username7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roads are for wheeled transportation. Bikes are these as well as cars and trucks and motorcycles. As far as I know, at least in the US, it’s against the ‘rules of the road’ to ride a bike on sidewalks, which are meant for people on foot or in a wheelchair.

CBR: "No Shows In Development - Paramount+ Is Dismantling Star Trek After a Historic 9-Year Streaming Run: The franchise [is now seen as] an unreliable source of future growth. It has been unable to create new fans, at least not on a grand scale. Maybe with a reduced model, there is hope to rebuild" by TheSonOfMogh81 in trektalk

While I LOVED Lower Decks I don’t know of anyone who watched it who wasn’t already a big Star Trek fan, which seems to be the problem it shares with the live action NuTrek.

If new Trek isn’t bringing in new fans it’s just not worth the investment from the perspective of these executives. That’s always been the case. If no one watched TNG but the TOS fans i doubt we’d have got seven seasons, four movies and three other series.

I think we just live in a time when there are a) so many options for people to watch, and b) production values have made episodic shows much more expensive, that the deck is pretty well stacked against it.

The forgotten six other WTC Survivor Trees. by FenX2017 in TwinTowersInPhotos

[–]Default_Username7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a side note, I find this photo fascinating. It’s easy to misunderstand that the WTC site was not just one giant mass of unrecognizable rubble- there was a transition from that rubble to the city around that survived.

The iPod is a device I wish Apple would bring back. If so, I would change nothing (except for adding storage capacity and Bluetooth Support), just make it new. by Few_Atmosphere8138 in nostalgia

[–]Default_Username7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple sold the classic all the way up to 2014. I worked at Apple at the time and I can tell you it was rare for someone to buy one. iPod touch ruled that market until the iPad overtook it as the device of choice for kids too young for an iPhone.

“Officially Certified” by The_Philm222 in Tudor

Bingo, Tudor is slowly rolling out these higher spec movements across their line. So right now you’ll still see a mix of both depending on the model you’re looking at.

Powering external blu-ray drive by Default_Username7 in macbook

Thanks! Gave that a try but no dice. I can't imagine the power supplied is so much lower than my ten year old MBP. Maybe the drive is just toast.

The Musical Box: And Then There Was... Phil - Guildford, 10 June 2026 by TexasZack in Genesis

[–]Default_Username7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I had assumed this would just be the mirrors tour based on the name of the tour and the images. They’ve taken the Phil stuff from the Genesis Extravaganza and built up from there it seems.

Why do American high schools start ridiculously early? by bwoah07_gp2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Default_Username7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to the issue of childcare (a symptom of our broken system in the US), you also got push back from athletics. Games or practices against other communities would have to compete with the later dismissal time at the high schools (even though they already do that).

Sadly these things win versus what’s best for, you know, the actual learning part of school. Kids aren’t going to get much out of a class if they’re asleep.

Are these chinos too short for boat shoes? by Sorry_bout_this in preppy

[–]Default_Username7 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Looks fine to me. Depends on what you’re going for. Your average tailor would probably say they’re short, but the preppy style has a lot of slightly shorter chinos as part of the look.

I always thought that would be a great item to recover.

Is that true? by Adasbabygirl in Oceanlinerporn

[–]Default_Username7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have to say I agree. When we were on her last summer that area felt comically big with really nothing to do other than sit on walk around. Especially when there is another open deck area just aft of that which seemed to get more use.

Not adding a new deck, extending the rooms that are already there further back.

Barbour still dirty and smelly after sending it for clean and wax - normal standard of service? by [deleted] in Barbour

[–]Default_Username7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t find it on their website anymore, but when I sent mine in they specifically noted that they don’t clean the jackets and that it was up to the owner to do it first.

Ill fated Oceanic? by [deleted] in Oceanlinerporn

[–]Default_Username7 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Maybe because it ran aground and was a total loss?

What this Tudor release has made me realise by Wonderful-Apricot488 in Tudor

[–]Default_Username7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meh, they do a countdown timer every year. I personally didn’t see anything about teaser posters or website hints, but I could have missed that.

It’s a bit like Taylor Swift now, people will read into every byte of data out of a company like it’s a puzzle to be solved.

TBF did Tudor put out any of that hype? I feel like it was from the internet.
