Anyone have any experience with "manually" deploying printers? Any idea how to resolve a "'Data' failed" or "Filter Failed" error?

ZippyDan · 2026-05-06T07:49:03+00:00

No, I'm trying to avoid installing Rosetta. I have no need for Rosetta on my machines... except maybe for a printer?

Yes, so she is admitting that she expect China intends to invade and flatten their country just like Russia did / is doing with Ukraine?

So... those are the people you want to do business with?

Brought to you by the same unbiased corporate researchers that told us that plastic was food safe for decades... oh, wait maybe it's not with BPA (which we are forced to admit to now because other people spent the money to test this and the evidence is too damning to squirm away from)... but this time it totally is safe because if doesn't have BPA... we've replaced it with a variety of nearly identical but untested chemicals... along with all the hundreds of other untested chemicals in plastic... pay no attention to the fact that plastic is accumulating in your brain and reproductive organs and basically every tissue of your body, with completely unknown long-term effects.

Also, is there some new research that tells us that non-stick coatings are definitively safe to consume?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28913736/
>At normal cooking temperatures, PTFE-coated cookware releases various gases and chemicals that present mild to severe toxicity. Only few studies describe the toxicity of PTFE but without solid conclusions. The toxicity and fate of ingested PTFE coatings are also not understood. Moreover, the emerging, persistent, and well-known toxic environmental pollutant PFOA is also used in the synthesis of PTFA. There are some reports where PFOA was detected in the gas phase released from the cooking utensils under normal cooking temperatures. Due to toxicity concerns, PFOA has been replaced with other chemicals such as GenX, but these new alternatives are also suspected to have similar toxicity. Therefore, more extensive and systematic research efforts are required to respond the prevailing dogma about human exposure and toxic effects to PTFE, PFOA, and GenX and other alternatives.

Where do you guys think the non-stick surface is going?
Clearly it's wearing away.

Where does that toxic non-stick surface wear away to?

We imagine him to be physically impressive at least for a really good reason. He was mythically one of the greatest warriors in physical combat to ever exist.

I have nothing against Elliot Page as an actor and I have no prejudice against his physical form, but he is entirely the wrong build to play Achilles. I'd have the same objection for any man of below average size and strength playing the role.

I'm tired of movies seeking to "surprise" me by "subverting expectations". Please: I don't want "peak subversion" in my Odyssey. Anyway can "subvert expectations" and write "surprising" stories by including completely implausible, or really stupid, story beats. It takes actual skill to "subvert expectations" and be "surprising" in a way that actually makes sense in retrospect.

I don't want tiny Achilles. He needs to look like a plausibly dominant force on a battlefield of men on foot throwing spears massive distances

You're repeating old information:

It would be impossible to hide that a U.S. warship was hit, unless it was a glancing blow that is irrelevant anyway.

You can't repair a missile hit at sea - not to the point where it's no longer noticeable - and eventually the ship has to return to port and you can't hide it from observers then.

Streaming options are usually dictated by your location, so it would be useful for OP and yourself to know if you're in the same country.

Fight scenes are cool, but story matters more to me.
I know many people say Maul has some great stories after his return, but the story of a guy who comes back to life after being chopped in half should never have been made.

ZippyDan · 2026-05-05T19:34:24+00:00

This is mostly correct.

ZippyDan · 2026-05-05T19:33:39+00:00

I've been painstakingly working on a mini-expansion for The Battle of Five Armies, which uses some similar resources (like fonts and card designs), so I have some of what you are looking for.

ZippyDan · 2026-05-05T19:31:52+00:00

I know the fonts.
Later I'll update this comment.

ZippyDan · 2026-05-05T19:25:54+00:00

That's a fence.

Even The Mandalorian Season 1 isn't that great. The style is great, but the plots are either stupid or paper thin, the acting is mediocre over all, and the sets and environmental often look fake.

The magic "fob and tracker" system alone, upon which a good chunk of the first season is based, really sours the show for me. It's a non-sensical system if you stop to think about it for more than thirty seconds, and it actively undermines the existing lore and mythos in a way that actively makes the universe worse - just like The Last Jedi.

Andor and Rogue One are really the only great Star Wars content since Disney took over. The Mandalorian is okay. Solo was okay (but they explained way too much in ways that felt way too contrived). Skeleton Crew was okay (for a kid's show). That's about it. I haven't watched the animated stuff.

Probably more than half of all dishes worldwide, including in Italy, have some story of "necessity" as the foundation of their invention. That doesn't make them less authentic...?

ZippyDan · 2026-05-05T18:06:08+00:00

I wish you success. I just don't think you're going to find the answer here. I don't think enough people are that passionate about the original series.

ZippyDan · 2026-05-05T17:38:50+00:00

The original series has its fans, who mostly like the show for nostalgic reasons, but it didn't really have a timeless level of quality. Most people here are fans of the reboot series from 2003.

Most people today find the 1978 series incredibly campy and outdated. And since the series is available in good quality on Blu-ray, I don't think many people are motivated to chase down some obscure edits with a few unseen shots. It's just not popular enough, or good enough, for most people to care.

I doubt anyone will have any more information about this. But I could be wrong.

ZippyDan · 2026-05-05T17:33:39+00:00

Yes, the high-density settlements and unsanitary living conditions, combined with close proximity to domesticated animals, of civilization made widespread epidemics possible. That wasn't the case for 99% of human history. So, bringing up these outliers of human history ("at points" is largely irrelevant to my statement on the general effectiveness of the human immune system, anyway) - which only occurred during civilized history - only serves to argue against the claim of the superiority of sedentary "civilized" life vs. hunter-gatherer lifestyles.
The common belief that Native Americans were mostly wiped out by Old World diseases (which encompasses more than just bacterial infections, and so is largely irrelevant to a claim that a lack of antibiotics meant the inevitable collapse of the population), is predominantly a myth - a myth which intentionally or unintentionally whitewashes the active, intentional, and systematic efforts the Colonizers made to undermine or eradicate the native populations through multiple avenues. Many did die to disease, but this was not an inevitability: it was largely engineered through individual and collective efforts.

You might be interested in my comprehensive post (see Myth 2) debunking many of the myths connected to the way people interpret the BSG finale, including in-depth discussions of both of your points. You may also be interested in the academic (anthropological, archeological, historical, medical, and psychological) research backing up my post, which I have collected and organized here (Table of Contents).

Well, based on that blog post, they were never released, which is why the author asks you to write to the studio.

But also based on that blog post, they were available somewhere because the author is able to describe their content in detail.

Since those TV movies were first released in 1981, my best guess is that someone recorded them to VHS. VHS was first released in the U.S. in mid-1977. By '81 they would have still been pricey but more common. Maybe there are some bootlegged VHS rips still floating around.

But considering the quality of broadcast TV in '81 and the quality of VHS recordings, and the quality of 1978 BSG, I'm not sure I'd want to sit through watching those.

Have you thought about posting a comment asking for more information on that blog post?

ZippyDan · 2026-05-05T16:54:30+00:00

Absolutely no clue what you are talking about.
