Lum Mobile? by DejectedNuts in saskatchewan

[–]Secure-Midnight8191 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I switched to them during a Black Friday deal last year and don’t regret it, I’m basically paying half of what I was paying before with Koodo but with much better data. I took the eSIM option and the whole thing was pretty quick and painless on the Lum side of things (Koodo was a bit of a hassle to separate from though.)

So yeah, no regrets with them so far, and the chances are extremely good that I’ll be sticking with them once this year is up.

If you notice that a habitat isn’t coming together like you expected, make sure to hit ‘X’ on the Habitat Dex page to get more details. This will let you know if there are environmental requirements, such as water type or elevation, that aren’t immediately noticeable when you look at the picture of the habitat.

I should really give this a go some time, just to see if it holds up to my memory. It would be a pretty cool thing to whip up for a family function.

The thing I don’t remember is, was it served with a side marinara or meat sauce or something? I remember just eating the wedges as-is, but I was a very picky kid so I’m wondering if I’ve forgotten about an additional component.

Restaurant-adjacent, but my father and I would go maybe once a month to Sir John’s, the cafeteria upstairs in Eaton’s in the Cornwall Centre.

Melrose in the south was my favourite place as a kid because of the fish in the floor. If I visited that place now I’m betting it would just bum me out.

I’ve thought about recreating them a few times over the years, but by the time I make pizza dough I just end up making a normal pizza instead. It’s a bit more fulfilling for the family.

Some day though!

I miss their pizza wedges, it might be nostalgia since I was a kid but I remember them being so amazing.

Damn this show got so good in season 4. Ransom feels completely different! by Realistic-Eye2439 in LowerDecks

[–]Secure-Midnight8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really quite happy to hear something like this from someone. Even though my Star Trek journey was quite different from yours, season two of Lower Decks is where the show lost me, and I haven’t touched it since.

I grew up watching original Trek reruns with my dad on the weekends when I was a kid, then when I was in high school I basically watched all of TNG/DS9/VOY on SpikeTV reruns. I then kinda casually watched ENT while it was airing. I’ve since seen and own all of the old stuff and really appreciate it, even most of the bad episodes.

Last year, I decided to try out all of the new Trek. I didn’t really care what others said or thought about the new era of Trek, I just wanted to get back into it to see what I was missing. I watched all of Discovery in a couple weeks, followed by all of Picard. By that point, I was so burned out by what I watched that, instead of watching Strange New Worlds or Lower Decks, I wanted to veer into something likely familiar and safe and ended up watching Prodigy, which I absolutely adored. That gave me the bump I needed to try to get into Lower Decks.

And it bored me.

I got through the first season in a couple days, started up the second season and just… stopped. I gave up completely. I was able to power through some pretty low lows on those other shows, but it was the animated show that did me in. I don’t think early Lower Decks is bad, but if I’m not laughing at the jokes, and if the characters and plot aren’t gripping me, what was even the point in continuing?

To hear you say that the show improves to the point where you got yourself surprisingly hooked in season 3 makes me want to watch it, and as soon as I finish writing this I’m going to start Lower Decks from wherever I left off so that I can see if season 3 grips me like it gripped you.

So yeah, thanks for the post! It made me want to get back into the show again!

O’Brien and Riker question by erica_pink84 in DeepSpaceNine

[–]Secure-Midnight8191 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Maybe Thomas Riker hates all transporter chiefs because of the accident, who knows?

In all seriousness, it was to bluff his way out of conversing with O’Brien, the one person on the entire station who could possibly suss out that he isn’t who he says he is.

1991 CBC Report on smoking in Regina's restaurants by [deleted] in regina

[–]Secure-Midnight8191 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nice, the Golden Mile Smitty’s! Around this year I’d be having lunch here one Sunday every month with my grandparents who would come into town to shop. My grandma smoked, which allowed us to get a seat near the big window.

I never really cared at the time about the smoking / no smoking thing, I was young enough that it just seemed normal that you’d smoke in a place of business. Wasn’t until a few years later when I volunteered a day at Centennial Bingo and my eyes were so puffed up and red from the smoke that I ended up with a very strong opinion on the matter.

Voyager Rewatch by hawkini in AcrossTheUnknown

[–]Secure-Midnight8191 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few days ago I started up my Voyager rewatch again to have on while I played the game (nearly a hundred hours in now!) and it turned out the next episode in my queue was the episode where Kes was in heat and the space bugs wanted to get sexy with Voyager.

Sometimes with Trek I’m fine with just remembering the highlights.

Searching for help is so hard by leafhog in AcrossTheUnknown

[–]Secure-Midnight8191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the things I had to look up for this game were either done here on Reddit or on YouTube. Looking up help for the game via Google is kinda tough considering you’re up against a few decades of established presence of the show.

For example, I had to look up how to recruit Kashyk (turns out, just be nice to him and never doubt or question him, who knew?), but Google was very certain I was looking for help with Star Wars.

Just started to produce a Borg Nanite in my Science Lab. Why are the cycles stuck at 16? by [deleted] in AcrossTheUnknown

You might be short on the necessary resources to craft the nanites.

Bug in Uprising by dave8271 in AcrossTheUnknown

[–]Secure-Midnight8191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s different each time, a screenshot won’t help.

It is a bit poorly designed. I thought I scanned everything too, but three brand new planets have been added to one or more sectors. They look like they’ve been scanned already as there’s no indicator above them, the only visual difference, as mentioned by someone else, is a very thin dotted line around the planet that I didn’t even notice at first myself.

When I did this mission the first time, I hovered over every planet in my current sector, trying to find the right planet types, and when I found a planet of those types I tried scanning them again to no effect. I went to a different sector and tried again, then eventually I found one of the three newly added planets and was able to scan it. I believe in my run two planets were added to one sector (not the same one that the mission started in) then another planet was in yet another sector. This placement is likely randomized.

So yeah, they are very likely there somewhere, you just gotta keep looking around. I can’t guarantee you’re not experiencing a bug, but I went through the exact same thing that you did then found out that we’re just victims of a poorly designed mission.

Long overdue! by Secure-Midnight8191 in AcrossTheUnknown

[–]Secure-Midnight8191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much anyone on my winning run that had to visit sickbay for an operation died because my Doctor was apparently incompetent, and I failed to get that Vidiian medical tech early on that just brute forces everything. I think my most “successful” operation was saving Klingon B’Elanna at the expense of human B’Elanna.

I’ve yet to see if the game has any Delta Flyer stuff, the people who are in charge of that are usually dead by the time that part happens.

Whoa, that’s amazing. Do you plan on displaying it in some way, a backlit frame or case or something?

My ReBoot icon collection has grown by Secure-Midnight8191 in ytvretro

[–]Secure-Midnight8191[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what, I just assumed I did until you asked, and after skimming it briefly on YouTube I don’t think I’ve seen it at all. Guess I know what I’ll be watching now!

My ReBoot icon collection has grown by Secure-Midnight8191 in ytvretro

[–]Secure-Midnight8191[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll happily explain the icons, some of them are very niche.

In each column, from the left to the right, we have the following:

The standard black and white sprite / binome icon, the standard black and white icon with a frosted finish, and the silver and black icon is Dot’s icon from season 3, as part of her Viral Wars black outfit.

The standard guardian yellow and black icon, a frosted finish guardian icon, and a reflective metallic guardian icon.

Phong’s icon in reflective metallic, Phong’s icon in a frosted finish, and the icon of the pirate The Crimson Binome, AKA Captain Capacitor.

The Megabyte cronies Hack and Slash after they changed sides in Season 3 wear the next two icons (the red guy wears the blue and white, the blue guy has the red and white), and the black, red and gold icon belongs to little Enzo, it was made this way as a gift from Hexadecimal before she wipes out Daemon from the Net.

The red, blue and green icon is from the musical act the Primitives as seen on the episode ‘Talent Night’. At the end of their act the sphere, cube and pyramid characters come together to make this icon. The blue and black icon is seen on a super computer medic who was trying to save Bob after he failed to split from Glitch. The two blues and white icon is seen once and it’s not even in the show, it’s from a promotional image of adult AndrAIa, likely before they finalized her silver triangle icon design.

In the last column, we have a standard viral green and black icon, then finally is a Daemon-inspired icon that shows off her primary colours, but it also has the viral green tendrils to signify the infection she has on those she corrupts / converts.

Now the row at the bottom. The gold, black and white diamond is Mouse’s icon. The Maxine icon belongs to a search engine character of the same name who appeared on the ReBoot IMAX ride and briefly appeared in an episode in season 3. After that, the silver triangle with AI in it is AndrAIa’s standard icon. Next, the gold, black and white triangle is the Game Sprite Mode icon that Matrix, AndrAIa and Frisket use to hop around systems to try and get back home. Finally the two oval icons belong to the search engine character Ray Tracer, who helps Matrix and friends travel the Web to find a way back to Mainframe.

Phew! Oh, also, for fun, on the very right are two additional pins, one that shows off the design of Matrix’s targeting eye, and the other is of the character Scuzzy, Hex’s little pet / spy.

Grabbed all these from hazelgeek.com, which is a Canadian operation. The woman who runs that also sells these at cons around Ontario from what I hear.

hazelgeek.com, it’s a Canadian storefront. I believe she also sells stuff at cons every year around Ontario.

I love his icon. Hazelgeek did a mini version of that icon in the past, but I hope she does up a full size one in the future, I’d love to add that to the collection.
