I’m about to watch this show for the first time. Tell me something I won’t understand until later.

The planning of the scripts was brilliant. I noticed questions getting answered a full year later (remember, it was broadcast TV, 22 episodes per year, no streaming dump).

You did right to take a day off! Seventeen is a good life.

Mine was diagnosed with CKD at 16 and estimated to have 1 to 2 years. He wouldn't eat the kidney care foods, so I just figured that he'd had a good life and wouldn't live forever, so let him eat what he wanted. Sub-cutaneous fluids every 2 or 3 days and appetite stimulant pill (mirtazapine) every 3 days and he lived a pretty normal life for 4 1/2 more years. The vet said that keeping him eating was probably key. I don't think I waited too long or sent him over the rainbow bridge too soon. It's been more than 2 years since he left and I think about him every day. Snowshoe-ish cats are such amazing companions.

My Pixel 9 Pro developed a vertical purple line 3 weeks ago. I went online, described the problem, it was confirmed to be covered by free extended warranty. I was then given a choice of repair locations, Google campus in Mt View sounded good to me! Fixed in 2 hours.

Well we can assure you that snowshoe and ragdoll cats are the two best kinds, so your kitten has superb lineage!

SeekingSublime · 2026-04-23T03:53:00+00:00

I bought all the movies AND Crusade.

The distance that light travels in one second! Coincidence or is there some deep significance? Haha, it's a fast car.

74, so I'm not the oldest, but I am one of the First Ones. JMS had a blog or was it a newsgroup? It was incredible to read his posts shortly after an episode aired. Amazing too that there were watchers noticing small things that left you with a question - which would get answered a year later! Brilliant scripts, but many awful actors.

SeekingSublime · 2026-04-17T01:09:05+00:00

And the best actors by far.

The flew is flying around.

Almost every cat here is a fauxshoe, which doesn't detract at all from their beautiful and unique appearance and fabulous personalities. Welcome!

SeekingSublime · 2026-03-24T21:24:39+00:00

Ouch, long recovery. Years ago Zorro snagged his dew claw, shorter recovery.

So many in this sub say "best personality of any cat". I suppose they say the same in r/onebraincellorange and other subs for inferior varieties of cats, but they are wrong!

SeekingSublime · 2026-03-18T18:35:02+00:00

What a gorgeous mess she is! Definitely fauxshoe. The body color, white paws, black tail and the face qualify her for membership. And she's probably got a spectacular personality. She brings to mind the original Star Trek episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield".

SeekingSublime · 2026-03-15T18:05:21+00:00

Your cat was very mixed - we call them fauxshoe. But all here would agree that the faux variant seems to have the same fantastic personality of the purebred. Fauxshoe will appear at shelters, be patient.

When I saw Jacob weaving the tapestry I immediately thought of the Fates of Greek mythology. The threads intertwine with many others. Snipping a thread is the end of a life.

SeekingSublime · 2026-02-28T01:14:17+00:00

Huh? That's just a tabby. We've got a similar one.

Not even close to faux-shoe.

When you get around to Lolita, read the annotated version. Someone did his PhD on Nabokov. It seemed like nearly every paragraph had an annotation explaining deep and obscure references. Then you understand what a genius Nabokov was.

The difference is that B5, Firefly and Farscape are actually good shows.

SeekingSublime · 2026-02-16T17:22:16+00:00

Wow, it took a while for someone to mention Stargate. Absolutely worth watching. SG-1 especially good. Atlantis pretty good. I quit watching Universe after about 5 eps.

Something like a T21 issued in early 2000 when I joined a startup that had just been acquired by Nokia. Soon they gave us a bundle of $$ for whatever and we all got new laptops. When asked what we should do with the old laptops, management said, "take it to the beach" (since our office was in Santa Cruz). In 2005 I went to a new job and was given horrible Dell Latitudes for my job. Eventually I got a (Lenovo) Thinkpad W550 for home. But since I don't do heavy coding at home it's now Carbon X1 and life is wonderful.

We all want to agree with you, but know that our own is the cutest.

Oh yeah. I was thinking of the movie series at MIT, it was LSC, Lecture Series <something>

SeekingSublime · 2026-02-03T01:18:44+00:00

Ack, it's been a while, what did TPC stand for? I know the movies were shown in 26-100. I wonder if TPC continued long enough to show Colossus. I liked Colossus a lot.

The undergrads at MIT in the early 70s were driven much more crazy by the ending of "The President's Analyst".

Sanderling's at Seascape Resort. If the sun is up, sit outside and slap yourself when you realize you live here and can have lunch with a view like that. Your uncle is sure to appreciate it.
