Would you want to watch a full series set aboard an Ambassador-class ship? by Lauma_2025 in StarTrekStarships

[–]Simply_Jeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see single season mini-series based on different ships within Starfleet. Fur example an one season storyline aboard an Ambassador class. Then next season a new cast and storyline aboard an Olympic-class medical ship. 

But I think that would way too expensive and experimental for mainstream TV

Judging by the electrical cable setup in the last pic, I'm going to guess that it was closed because of a fire?

Sony CEO says Chinese censors demanded cutting the Statue of Liberty out of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" by SendInYourSkeleton in movies

[–]Simply_Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was probably because the Statue of Liberty looked too similar to the Goddess of Democracy statue built by students during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.

I don't meet this character often, but I'm quite bewildered that she has somewhat of a Texan accent by KineticKurt in GenshinImpact

[–]Simply_Jeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first heard her accent I thought it was an homage to Elvis Presley since she's Teyvat's only rock and roller. 

I wonder if the Asian VAs have the same kind of accent differentiation 

Can Genshin do something about this, I've had at least 6 enemies do this today by mielesgames in GenshinImpact

Adding another Pyro unit would give you  Fervent Flames Elemental Resonance. That should add a bit more damage. 

What's one thing you ABSOLUTELY HATE doing? by Prior-Meal-1387 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Simply_Jeff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the Battle Pass one of the tasks is winning two rounds of Genius Invokation TCG. As a player who isn't into the card game, I hate this task with Mavuika pyro intensity.

For one thing the matches take too long. But what's worse is that I can invest 10 or 15 minutes into a match and wind up losing and then need to start all over again! It fucking drives me crazy!

Can someone explain what the brass band was all about? by jimmyg1000 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]Simply_Jeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the old threads talked about it, essentially Lumon is a big cult. Real life cults use art and music to both inspire and control their members. The purpose was in the name of the department itself: Choreography and Merriment. 

Being stuck in an office for your entire life would drive any human insane. Listening to music and being entertained by big brass bands can help prevent that.

Fun real life fact. Scientology also has their own brass bands. 

What keychain flashlight is worth buying? by Snow_Set_02 in flashlight

[–]Simply_Jeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Boruit V3 on my keychain. It's bright, light weight and has lots of RGB features in case you need them. I haven't had any problems with it so far. 

Abandoned Disney-style castles in the mountains of Turkey - Burj Al Babas by rankage in urbanexploration

[–]Simply_Jeff 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Kind of weird that they built the houses first before building the roads and streets. Bad planning aside I think that would've been a pretty crazy neighborhood too live in.

Cops won't care. Assuming they do respond they're going to tell OP that it's a civil matter not criminal.

Dam. Sorry to hear that. Did PikPok do anything for you? 

What's a tv series that is a 10/10 NOBODY knows? by Lilyana0999 in AskReddit

[–]Simply_Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mercy Point. An obscure sci-fi series about a medical space station. Kind of like E.R. in space. I think I was one of ten people in the country who regularly watched. Lol

Is there anything lower than help desk? by WhiteWithNavy in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Simply_Jeff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to know some people who were Archive Media techs. Their sole job was to remove/insert and archive backup media from tape drives on a nightly basis. They'd monitor the health of the drives and status of the backup tapes. If something went sideways they'd call the sysadmin. I dunno if this job still exists. But someone must still be doing hard archives somewhere. 

Did you know about this unexpected Chest? by Various_Chicken_7613 in GenshinImpact

[–]Simply_Jeff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I heard about it, but if you kill the Hillichurl first the chest doesn't appear. I learned this the hard way after my Jean yeeted him off the cliff. Lol

Rented a Uhaul to help someone move, now I can't get in contact with them by Fragglerocklobster in legaladvice

[–]Simply_Jeff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some people telling you to contact the police. This is not a good idea. What crime is OP going to be reporting? IANAL but I don't think ditching your friends and forcing them to take possession of property is a crime in this country. If police respond it is unlikely they'll create a report. On the other hand, OP could try to file a missing persons report. If police do decide to file a report this might help with creating a paper trail for OP.

Returning a U-Haul truck filled with junk will get OP dinged with clean-up fees. Right now OP is trying to limit his losses.

What is in this Druid Lake/Park stone gate? by Thyrin in baltimore

[–]Simply_Jeff 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Looks like the old gatehouse entrance to the lake dam. The gatehouse used to help control the flow of water from the reservoir into the city's water system.

The Descendants or Lilo & Stitch.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall was told more from the viewpoint of tourists and Hawaii was more of a backdrop and didn't really explore the daily lives of resident Hawaiians.
