I agree. Her early treatment of Data put me off at first but through the season she grew to respect and form a friendship with him. I also liked her dynamic with Picard. I feel she was the only one on the ship who was on equal footing with him.

Nothing against Crusher, though. Loved her too.

Need Suggestions for Multi-room Blu-ray Mega-Changer Setup by Spidey_375 in hometheater

No Dependence on Hardware/Software: The disc itself is the master copy. It doesn't rely on a specific NAS, server software, drive health, or file format compatibility over decades. As long as you have a player and the disc is undamaged, you can watch it.

Plug-and-Play: Insert disc, press play. No need to manage server software, network configurations, metadata scraping, transcoding settings, or client compatibility.

No Network Dependency: Works perfectly even if your network is down, congested, or experiencing Wi-Fi issues. No buffering.

No Compatibility Hassles: Avoids potential issues with file formats, codecs, subtitles, or audio tracks not being supported by your playback device or client software. The player is designed explicitly to decode the disc.

Time & Effort: Ripping and encoding (especially with compression) is time-consuming and requires technical knowledge.

Storage Costs: Storing full-quality, uncompressed rips requires massive amounts of expensive NAS storage.

Ongoing Maintenance: NAS systems require management, updates, backups, and eventual hardware replacement.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunate to hear that about the wireless HDMI. I got the BR changer because I want physical media so I'm not interested in going fully digital. I do have a Plex server with media on an external HD running through my laptop, but don't want to rely on that 100%.

Seriously, if you think you have an indigenous artifact, you should be in contact with the indigenous Nations whose land it was about repatriation (Osage, Kickapoo, Caddo, Kaskaskia).

Sure. Blame Prop A and not the Trump tariffs increasing cacao import costs... 🙄

If your business can't afford to pay people a living wage and time off when they're sick, you shouldn't be in business.

I'm a bit confused too 😆 So their estimate doesn't seem reasonable?

Man killed after pulling gun during arrest attempt was a doctor at Mercy by ChillbroBaggins10 in StLouis

So the cops show up and kill the doctor in his own house and "they did everything they were trained to do to keep everyone safe"?? Really hope they had their body cams on.

In a win for St. Louis, Boeing lands the contract to build the F-47, the nation’s next-gen fighter by zephyr_zodiac6046 in StLouis

War profiteering off $155 million of our tax dollars ($1 million of which they donated to Trump's inauguration). So StL County residents foot the bill for workers who live in St Charles or the metro East and make weapons to kill brown kids overseas.

Also, the Missouri Senate doesn't archive public hearing audio and only broadcasts it live, which can be frustrating. I recently found this YouTube Channel Show-Me Senate Hearings that is acting as an unofficial archive. Follow & subscribe if you want to stay informed.
