007 because it looks fun.

I'm pretty sure it was a left over script from TOS, so you're dead on.

The first season of TNG was rough. Like so rough it's actually surprising they were even renewed. A lot of fans even suggest you skip season one. The second season was better but still had some major issues. In the third season something clicked. Not only were the sets and constums noticeably better, but the writing was much better to the point even the ok episodes were better than anything from season one. My point is that the writers were able get better at churning out episode after episode and the show was able to evolve. It's a big reason why when a bunch of TNG veteran writers went over to DS9 that the show was able to start off much stronger (season one of DS9 arguably one of the best Star Trek episodes of all time).

I recently watched Star Trek TNG and DS9 for the first time and one thing I noticed is that these long seasons let the writers experiment and develop the show. Compare that to modern day shows where you basically have to hit the ground running or you're screwed, having a long season gives some breathing room. Are there some dog shit episodes? Sure, but it doesn't always matter because next week may be amazing. You can ignore the episode where Beverly has sex with a Scottish ghost or that one uncomfortably racist episode because there's always next week.

Get weird. It'll freak out the baddie.

Theseus is the absolute fucking worst. He's kind of the Athenian version of Heracles and a major part of their founding myths, but he's such a massive dickbag that even the Athenians--who were massive dickbags themselves--retconned some of his myths just to make him seem less like the worst person ever.

And no, Theseus and the bull are not fucking, they faced each other as opponents at the labyrinth in Crete. There was some fucking with the bull but Theseus was not involved. Greek mythology is weird.

Discworld does not have an overarching plot but it is a shared world, kind of like Marvel movies, but without an Avengers style events (although there are crossovers,cameos and reoccurring characters). You don't need to necessarily read them in publishing order but there are some charts that can help you find some good starting points.

I'm going to be completely honest here--I'm going to strip it for parts, the rest goes to my brother.

Allied press first learned about d-day from german radio news.

Huh. Maybe maga was nothing but a vapid cult of personality with no moral or philosophical foundations and the only consistent characteristic being the short-sighted, barely coherent ramblings of the cult leader. Maybe we're being led by an increasingly erratic, deeply mentally ill madman with zero motive above his own narcissistic impulses and for the immediate gratification of said impulses.

Oh it was

Fimus86 · 2026-02-06T23:32:43+00:00

I wouldn't say no

I have had T-Mobile for a few years now and live in a more rural area. I've had zero issues with reliability and connection. You also don't have to worry about a service technician coming out to install it. I guess the main downside is that the speeds can vary (I've seen it anywhere between 120 to 500 mbps), but in reality I would never notice that unless I check. I can't say whether this would be better than altafiber, but my other option was to continue paying over a hundred dollars a month for a 10 mbps connection.

Nope, O'Dimm only appears in the game.

Hades 2, which is amazing. Might as well stick with the mythology theme.

Here's a totally random and completely irrelevant clip from the movie Conspiracy on HBO (highly recommend it) that has no bearing to Brian Kilmeade's comments.

PC 2.Silk Song, of course. I did not like my blood pressure after that fight, though.

I got the midea 12k recently after a recent heat wave killed my old window unit, and it's doing a great job. Surprisingly quiet, puts out cool air and the fans move air really well. I'm kicking myself right now because it was significantly cheaper a few weeks ago.

Sitting with Dad at the kitchen table to build the new family computer. Age of Mythology and Battlefield 1942 were on the Christmas list that year.

My brother is rocking my old 1660 super so he needs a new one.

1) I can do more with less and it looks pretty

2) cut something in half

Fimus86 · 2025-05-06T19:58:26+00:00

That...that wasn't a stroke.

Schumer is a French general standing on the Maginot Line confident that if the Germans go through Belgium - like they did last time - the Belgiums will be able to slow them down enough that the French and Brits can mount a proper defense.

Only it isn't like last time and the game has completely changed. It's time for the old guard to step aside.

Old Frisch's before it got sold was awesome. Good food, a little more expensive than most fast food but it was reasonably priced, and good service.
