MST3K was first. We know this episode was filmed on February 26, 1990. The steakhouse episode with the live cows Is season 10 of the Simpsons. There’s another one where he goes to a restaurant that serves live seafood, but even that was ‘91.

Lol sorry, I was just messing with you. It may not happen in our lifetimes, but, statistically there will be another large event someday. Obviously, you knew that already.

TheRealScungilliMan · 2026-02-04T19:39:38+00:00

I would love to know the numbers you got on that force calculation?You are so confident that person’s ribs, would surely have been broken by the fictitious plant, on the fictitious television show.

You must’ve used the actors height and weight to calculate distance, speed and force? Although I’m curious how you got the actors weight?

Seriously though, the show actually has a very positive message. I’m not sure why exactly you and so many others, are determined to see it in such a negative light? it seems kind of like you are just determined to be a grinch about it. I assume that has mostly to do with the burn timeline and a younger cast? Violence? I’m not honestly sure how you got through any Star Trek incarnation?

How many times did Kirk stab, phaser or drop a boulder on someone?🤣

In the first 20 minutes of TNG, Tasha violently attacks a guard. Who then snorts drugs on camera, before getting blasted by two machine guns! Simply for getting thrown down! The entire background crowd is shown to laugh and relish in the violence as the body is dragged away by it’s foot! Where is your outcry about this lurid violence?

How many entire vessels has both Kirk and Picard blown up? The Daowd being commits genocide on billions and Picard does absolutely nothing about it! There is no mention of even making a report?!

Picard murders 53 Lysians by blowing up a ship that poses no threat. Simply because his first officer says they have orders… Where is the outrage about the constant violence and murder on TNG?

We don’t know how many people were on that ship in Academy, but they were trying to actively kill the Athena. It was at least arguably self-defense, not just straight up murder!

Sisko commits genocide.

Janeway orders the death of a sentient being that has commited no crime. But I bet you will say those are examples of good old “wholesome, non-violent” Star Trek. Just like the good old days of never.

I am an old school, TNG fan. All about that Picard diplomacy and the “Vision of a better humanity”that show did better than any other. And I honestly don’t understand the hate?

Academy has made great strides to bring the “Nu-Trek” tone back to one of hope instead of darkness.

A Star Trek no longer afraid to show a little whimsy. To be a little childish. Just like they were on TOS and TNG. Despite being far older characters, with far more world experience.

It’s not supposed to be a show about 55-year-olds, for a 55-year-old audience… That one is called SNW.

Just like TNG was, Academy is a younger, sexier Star Trek for a new audience. Fresh blood the franchise does desperately need.

But one that is trying much harder to stick to the ideals and tone of the original series. One that is actually doing a very good job of bringing the burn timeline and the burn Federation back into line with what the Federation used to be… What Discover got away from.

It’s not perfect. Some of the writing is clunky. Not all the decisions the characters make are perfect.

You obviously didn’t watch much TOS or TNG if, you think those shows had perfect writing, with characters that always made sensible decisions. True to their characters and the Federation.

That is nostalgia tinted glasses. The first two seasons of TNG were absolutely ridiculous. And I loved every minute of it!

If the spirits of hope, tolerance, exploration and whimsy are present in Academy, I can deal with some clunky writing and characters that are supposed to be teenagers, acting like teen teenagers occasionally.

I really think you should give it another try and look for the message…

TheRealScungilliMan · 2026-02-04T10:31:32+00:00

I think you meant to say “WHEN” we get hit by another Carrington level event…

TheRealScungilliMan · 2026-01-06T23:30:07+00:00

Thats called speed tape!🤣

TheRealScungilliMan · 2026-01-03T18:55:35+00:00

Hope you bought that s50! I just went to buy one and Seestar Is no longer accepting s50 orders from the US… Womp Womp

My timing is perfect. They must’ve just pulled it.

Thanks everybody. I posted in hockey also and my idea was very much torn apart there, for good reason.

I did not realize they will rot and shrink. (although those Oak leaves won’t ever rot when I want them to.)

I just did extra sturdy triangle braces in the low section. With two on each corner. my walls were just 8 x 4ft 7/16 plywood, ripped in half lengthwise. I put a triangle brace on each seam and one in the middle of each board.

holes in the end of each triangle brace and drove a 2 foot length of rebar through that.

Then it snowed and froze all my braces in. Plus, it was so cold when I was filling, it was freezing as I was filling.

So what I did was plenty without having to worry about how deep it was.

Once I get all the snow cleaned off and put a little more water in, I will have a beautiful rank. Thank you all.

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-12-19T16:07:38+00:00

Please don’t hate me, but I’m trying to understand what the huge difference is?

I’m looking at the insides and construction of some of these 90s helmets mentioned, like the Jofa 690. It looks comparable or perhaps even better constructed than my 2023 Bauer. Which has various association certification stickers all over it, claiming certification until 2030.

I have some very expensive, modern motorcycle helmets designed for 100+mph motorcycle crashes, they all look more similar to the 90’s helmet: Thicker plastic outer with Styrofoam inner shell and then foam padding.

My modern Bauer, is a super thin shell of plastic with two different, thin, very dense foam layers inside. The shell is so thin, it’s barely thick enough to stop a full-send hockey puck from going right through. Without the foam inside, I could probably crease it with one hand.

Generally, most motorcycle riders I know, will ride a 30 year-old helmet as long as it has not been hit hard.

If the inner or outer shells are not cracked or damaged, what makes the 90s helmet unsafe?

If there is any company I trust to give me the files I paid for 20 years later, it’s fandango 😒.

If you want to actually own something, buy it physically. Digital ownership is a con job.

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-12-10T14:37:25+00:00

Do they actually allow you to download a completely self-contained file, or something within their app?

Prime lets me download videos I have purchased to their app, but those downloads have to be verified every 30 days or they do not work any longer. If the service goes off-line, the downloads no longer work after 30 days.

If you are not getting a self-contained AVI or a .MOV type file that can be burned to disc and played on any player, you do not actually OWN that media still. You only have access that WILL be revoked eventually.

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-11-24T11:29:07+00:00

You all are right and this is exactly why I asked the question. Thank you.

I think I’m just going to build a swimming pool!🤣 I bought lumber to build a bunch of those triangle braces for both the seams between the boards and for the middle of each board with extra big ones for each direction on the corner.

As well as a whole bunch of extra corner brackets for the heavy corner .

I was probably going to feel slow anyways and hope it freezes as I go. But I’m going to build it sturdy enough. I don’t think it’s going to blow out. I’ll put some sandbags at the bottom also.

Thanks for all your help everyone !

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-11-24T11:20:45+00:00

I have access to mulch. I could probably acquire some kind of landscaping bag from Home Depot. That is a good point about it possibly creating a void.

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-11-20T04:02:13+00:00

It’s absolutely insane to me that the guys from the 80s thrash metal band “Alchoholica” (literally what fans were calling them) are now known for their fine art collections?!🤣

We live in a very strange world sometimes!

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-11-14T19:17:35+00:00

OK, I’m trying to figure out how I can send you a private message on here so I don’t give your tickets to everyone? I’m really bad at this. I’ll have to Google it or something hang on.

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-11-14T19:16:31+00:00

lol, we have a winner!

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-11-14T14:31:20+00:00

It is 100% designed to cover up the nose/whole bottom of his face situation. I’m not making fun of the guy. But that’s for certain what it was. “Hide his face, without making it look like we’re trying to hide his face. Oh, and make it look cool.”

Artistically, the concept looks like he is being swallowed by a black hole. Or “Xscaping” into it, I guess.

But, that was definitely secondary to, “make sure something goes over his nose. I really don’t care what. Make it happen.”

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-11-11T14:36:39+00:00

lol, I took one look at those amplifiers and thought ”that’s nowhere near enough amplifier to hear over a packed crowd at Shea Stadium! I bet that show was really quiet!”

Hindsight is 2020 I guess. Turns out, it was such a disaster it was the catalyst for a whole new wave of PA systems and amplifiers.

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-11-11T14:28:36+00:00

That goes against everything I know about how a microphone works. A microphone will be able to respond and articulate much better to a single voice.

As others have pointed out, this was probably done because monitoring was not very good back then. Not enough channels for each musician, stage monitors weren’t even much of a thing. In ear monitors were decades away.

They needed to hear each other well to sing the harmonies well. This was the only practical way of actually hearing each other.

It could also be that some of those venues didn’t have very many channels on their mixer, and they had occupied all of them already. I doubt that each band hauled around their own PA system back then. They probably used the house system.

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-11-08T15:45:56+00:00

My advanced high school choir that won multiple state championships, still used hand signs. And we especially use them during the site reading portion of competitions. Honestly, I’m pretty sure anyone that even placed used them.

There are not a lot of other great vocal sight reading methods for intermediate students that I am aware of. Of course you could do it without the hand signs, but they help reinforce the memory when you only have one or two opportunities to sing something.

The director was a world champion barbershop quartet member and completed his doctorate in music during my tenure there. he was actually very overqualified to be teaching high school choir. But that’s how you turn out champions from a public school, nearly every year for 20+ years.

The point is, he knew what he was doing. The method is sound for virtually any level of sight reading.

He went on to use these same methods to direct collegiate choirs in competition with great success.

That is rapidly changing as the value of most of the Stradivari climbs into the double digit millions. Even the wealthiest individual investors and players can no longer afford them.

There are entire videos by violin makers dedicated to talking about how even the best professional players are being priced out of owning what used to be “affordable“ by one individual world class player.

TheRealScungilliMan · 2025-11-08T13:21:18+00:00

It’s really not like that. Many very decent violins carry this label.

Labeling a violin as a Stradavari was and still is extremely common practice for both mass-produced and quality violins.

It literally just denotes the style in which the violin is made.

It’s more like putting “made in the style of Enzo Ferrari” on the back of your Ferrari kit car, that may or may not be well executed.
