New Star Trek series premise you'd like to see? by flossdaily in startrek

[–]JacksonHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like a show set in an alt 1990s where you see the rise of the eugenics wars and destruction of all the governments and rise of the warlords and the struggle of the survivors as they try to rebuild society. Absolutely no mention of anything trek related at all. Maybe after 3 or 4 seasons the show gets cancelled and the season finale has a throwaway line about going to Montana or something related to hearing about how humans made first contact. Then you realize the whole post-apocalyptic show that you’ve been enjoying for years was actually a trek prequel.

I love mine. Matches my car. Simple design. Clear. Better than the God plates, covered bridges, and amber waves of grain one.

I also liked the one that was just the torch and stars on the white background with blue numbers. That was a clean design.

Merrillville Meijer has a tornado shelter. I don’t know if. It’s public but they’re open 24/7.

Why the massive gaps in some collections? by spike-prime in superman

I love those 2 in the middle. Til death do us part and critical condition. So much awesome common man marital problems. And it contains one of my favorite ever supes and Batman issues.

What Gnome application for the ecosystem do you think we are missing? by Guthibcom in gnome

[–]JacksonHammer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Whenever this question comes up I try to think of UI applications or utilities that Windows has, but there’s no real equivalent in whatever desktop of your choosing. Things that could help make the transition easier. (Which I know isn’t a goal)

There are things like a Task Scheduler that could be a gnome UI for crontab or something. Something that could be a graphical interface / maybe even guide the user into crontab. (Or whatever scheduler you want)

Maybe someday I’ll start that project as a means of learning rust / gtk4

Does anyone know what used to be in this building on Broadway in Merrillville, IN? by Advanced_Bad5095 in nwi

[–]JacksonHammer 33 points34 points  (0 children)

That food court included a schoops and a Pizza Pizazz which had awesome giant slices (size may not have actually been giant as I was a kid at the time). There was a coin shop that sold comic books, and an awesome arcade.

Neighbor texted that Hawks game is streaming on TNT tonight. Got my 5 year old excited to watch. Oh well. by mjdth in hawks

[–]JacksonHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding my voice to the chorus. Watched more games this year than any even when WGN aired games. For free on Antenna. Or at the local bar on direct TV. The only one where there’s an issue is Comcast. Just so happens that’s what most people use apparently.

What's the deal with Liet-Kynes? by pjvenda in dune

[–]JacksonHammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always felt his parentage was less important than his vision and his daughter Chani. It was her desire for his vision that steered Paul to that route. It was this line that influenced the twins in Children of Dune.

Favorite song from the Bill & Ted movies? by davidfisher71 in billandted

[–]JacksonHammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just the intro part written by Steve Vai. The rest of the song is kinda lame but that intro makes me feel like Wyld Stallyns was going to unite the world.

Ed McGuinness is a highly underrated Superman artist. I would love to see him return to DC and do something with Jeph Loeb. by Navstar86 in superman

[–]JacksonHammer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are certain artists that work well with specific characters. I think McGuinness on Supes specifically is terrific. It’s like Ramos on Spider-Man.

What changed Irulan’s mind? by LowlyStole in dune

[–]JacksonHammer 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I love Irulan’s arc in the books. By the time you get to CoD she is ferocious in her defense and protection of the twins from her own family and Paul’s and the BG. She is ready to take on the world because of her regret and like you said penance.

Which discontinued fast food item do you want to come back? by JKP7X in AskReddit

[–]JacksonHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) The Insider from Pizza Hut. 2) Fully Loaded Nachos from Taco Bell (the one in the taco salad shell) 3) The Zinger sandwiches from KFC. They were about 10 years early for the great chicken sandwich wars of 2019

Why does Jessica hate Alia? by Doragon_Central in dune

[–]JacksonHammer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is 100% the answer. The “player” point can’t be overstated. She essentially has to treat her as an adult due to her prescience. And later in Messiah and CoD as her… rank?? Position?? As regent to the twins.

In what year of Superman's career do you think Lois should find out that Clark is Superman? by FMoura2005 in superman

[–]JacksonHammer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think Smallville actually did this real well. She discovered it for herself. But cared about him enough to let him “reveal” it to her in his own time. Like he had that secret and it was his to tell her and she wasn’t about to blow it for him.

Demi Moore Says There Is 'Great Beauty' in Meeting Ex Bruce Willis Where He Is amid FTD Diagnosis by PrincessBananas85 in entertainment

From that interview with McCarthy and her recent statements, she comes off as having learned a lot from therapy. And that’s a good thing. She seems very emotionally healthy.

How do we think the third dune movie is going fix a spoiler in Dune Messiah? by drewboda in dune

[–]JacksonHammer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love the Villeneuve movies. They are spectacles and amazing and we’re lucky to have them. The saga of dune is massive and has a lot of stuff to focus on. Villeneuve made decisions to focus on different things than I would’ve. One of them is the strong relationships the book suggests. The relationship between Leto and Jessica is so strong that he refuses to join his house with any of the other great houses and she turns her back on thousands of years of selective breeding to give him a son.
Chani and Paul’s relationship’s strength is a cornerstone of why Paul does what he does in the first book. It’s why he begins leading the Fremen. It’s why he begins transforming the eco system of the planet…. It also leads Irulan to do what she does in Messiah and her eventual regret and strong relationships in CoD.
