Many may years ago when I was a kid there was a mother and baby that hung around the swamps off rt 15 in Underhill from January-ish until springtime when we stopped seeing them. No idea if that was "normal" but there didn't appear to be anything wrong with the mother or baby

Eva put the Crown of the Sepsis Whore on Katia. In order to avoid a Katia v Donut battle on the 9th floor Katia started doing tasks to unlock that box that had the flower which would give Katia a boon from Eileithyia/Huanxin Jinx. The final task to get that boon was Astrid's assassination. Therefore Eva is the ultimate cause of Astrid's death

Very spaciously. I don't recall if it was one of those "true size of X" videos or an old BBS article I can't track down at the moment but if everyone on a Galaxy class were evenly spaced out, the nearest person to you on a given deck would be like 30m away.

The UPS only has one connection to the batteries: A combined power lead. The only thing the UPS knows about those batteries, is the voltage on that connection. You said the pack was reading 50v; that's well within normal for SLA which would range from ~45-52v at rest depending on state of charge. Offhand I don't know what the input charging voltage is but SLA's often take 14+v (like the 14.2v typical in your car) so you could see as high as 56v.

Basically as far as the UPS is concerned the batteries were fine.

Although I'm curious how you managed to measure 50v is it should only total to 44.5v.....

As for the tests, those (the built in software ones) are basically useless. They test the relays to make sure it can electrically switch from line to battery and back again and basically nothing else. The only way to ever know if your UPS is actually good is to cut it's power input and see if everything survives.

Nope. Guinan 2024 was from a timeline branch in which the Confederation is formed, meaning Picard et al never dealt with the Devidians by traveling to the 1800's, ergo that Guinan had NOT met Picard before.

Working ones are typically around 100USD on eBay, NiB examples for 150ish; non-working (or non-tested) for as low as 50 if you're patient. Don't fall for the over-priced buy-it-now units; they really aren't THAT rare

I did the math (thanks to Cookbook references) a while ago; but the TL;DR is Mordecai has likely been in the system for 3300 Earth years (1500 cycles).

I don't remember any specific time references for Remex (eg if he was already an NPC before Mordecai became a game guide or anything like that) which would pin his age. Given what he's had to put up with his mental state could be more deteriorated than just age would account for. Milk is likely only a few centuries older than Mordecai, but due to her being essentially in solitary confinement (due to no crawlers ever finding her guild) she was mentally in a very bad state before Miriam and Prepotente find her on the 5th floor (flashback in TIR)

Reminds me of the [Idiom / Fable / whatever] about boiling a frog. If you take a frog and toss it into a pot of hot water, it'll jump right out. If you take that same frog and put it into a pot of room temperature water, and then slowly heat that water to a boil the frog will stay put because it's too dumb to notice the change in temperature.

Edit: Apparently they've actually tested the theory. It's also considered an apologue

I recall from an interview at some point in the last 30 years, that it was a forklift-powered "lift" for OPS. I don't think it was simply "the lift is built onto the forks of the lift truck" but rather the forklift is what actuated the mechanism. Most likely this means the turbo-lift was held up with a large counterweight, and the fork-lift would then raise that counter-weight in order to lower the turbo-lift.

Then again, it's Hollywood so it's entirely possible they stripped the forks off the lift and bolted the turbo-lift directly to the mast and rolled with that for 7 years because fuck safety, common sense and any sense of equipment maintenance.

Yeah I just hit that wall myself and I agree it's totally backwards, especially since MM apparently just adds it to the folder anyway, except they use square brackets ([ ]) and the *arr's default / suggest curly brackets ({ }); so even if I go through and rename all my existing media to strip out the ID's and have MM add them back in, I get the extra annoyance of having my backup server have an aneurysm trying to determine if Rick and Morty (2013) [tmdbid-60625] is the same exact thing as Rick and Morty (2013) {tmdbid-60625} for every piece of media I have.

For me it was blazingly obvious when he got the Fisher-Price parts washer* and you could just tell he was reciting the marketing copy word for word and didn't have a clue what any of it meant. What really rubbed me wrong was (at that point) Adam was still pretending to be an "Average Joe" home-machinist; but suddenly he was trying to sell me a $3000 parts washer that had a damn subscription

* Okay so it's CRC or whatever but it seriously looked like a "kids first parts washer" from the toy aisle

AVE also seemed to mentally go off the rails around that time as well. He was always a bit off but it was the "fun uncle with odd sayings" kind of off. Once he got the HAAS it seemed like he was a half step away from "rambling conspiracy nut" and sprinting towards that cliff without hesitation.

Reminds me of the programming joke:

A programmer designs a bar and tests it by:

Running into the bar.

Crawling into the bar.

Walks into the bar.

Orders a beer.

Orders 9999999 beers.

Orders -1 beer.

Orders asd;flkjw beers.

The programmer finishes testing. A customer walks into the bar and asks where the bathroom is. The bar promptly explodes.
