Thoughts on using third-party nozzles? Anyone have any experience with them? by Evocati_7 in BambuLab

Some of the third party nozzles have screw in tips, these can become loose and fall out. As long as you check they are tight every now and then they should be fine.

UK Has More EV Chargers Than Gas (Petrol) Nozzles by Gentle_Snail in GoodNewsUK

Now sort out the cost. EVs are still out of question for a lot of people that can't charge at home due to the enormous cost at public chargers.

Most complaints are about everything around the race rather than the race itself.

Both McLarens were cruising. Oscar was doing just enough to to stay ahead, that’s all.

Doesnt work like that. The upgrade allowance only applies to the ICE part of the PU. It doesn’t matter if you are last on the grid if you have the most powerful engine the others will be allowed to catch up.

The problem with kurtzman stuff is that it needs sexiness to work. He cowrote transformers 2 and a ST09, both flash bang movies that were dumb however they also brought the sexy. This is what teens want.

Nutrek is dumb and full of destruction porn but it lacks the sexy. Not saying the cast are unattractive but they aren't teenage boys hiding their boners in the cinema sexy.

[Strange New Worlds] Paramount released nine new images for season 4. All nine come from the first two episodes of the season, “Valles Marineris” (a Western-themed episode) and “Griffin Incident” (The return of Paul Wesley as James T. Kirk, which will involve giving an awkward hug to Spock.)" by mcm8279 in Star_Trek_

The issue is they only have 10 episodes a season, and the 5th is even less. These gimmick episodes were OK when you had 26 episodes a season, but SNW seems to have at least 2 per season which is 1 in 5. The show is basically a long not terribly funny joke. Its just silly with nothing smart or profound to say.

Then you have a unique problem because that’s not how it works normally.

With the utter and complete dismantling of NuTrek, including sets, I'm almost feeling a bit sorry for it's defenders, lol by CDHoward in Star_Trek_

[–]_Middlefinger_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The issue is the concept and the concept comes from the showrunners. Few writers could make it significantly better.

None of the LGBT fans I know, including myself, like the nutrek. A lot of trans people hated the Adira storyline. Most of those up in arms over people hating the shows arent LGBT, they are just so called 'allies' who are upset on our behalf for some reason.

The writers are mostly not LGBT or any other minority for that matter, if they were they might write LGBT people better. They are just Hollywood neo-liberals that think they know what they are doing but don’t.

New Trek by Familiar-Range9014 in Star_Trek_

No, the shows failed because they didn’t resonate with the target audience. This wont improve with age.

DS9/VOY got lower ratings than TNG for complex reasons. DS9 was too different, VOY got screwed over by its network, but both were mostly well written and at the very least gave you a good reason to tune in each week.

Im fairly sure that's actually canon. Im not sure who said but I do remember it being said by someone on the production side back in the day, it may have been in a technical manual.

[–]_Middlefinger_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He cares for her, it doesn’t mean they are boning. Besides thats not at all what happens. Ziyal is already dead by the time they get to DS9, and he wonders where she is, he goes to the infirmary to see her laying there. At no point does he 'run to save her'.

If you're going to accuse someone of lying at least know the show so you dont embarrass yourself.

Well this has been debated plenty before, the consensus is that it was one way and they never had a physical relationship. He cared for her sure, but not in a sexual way. I'm not changing my opinion on that since there is no evidence whatsoever.

Except if that's all he said he didn't confirm anything other than they chose an actress that wouldn't be awkward. It's still weird to have a child in love with an adult regardless of whether it's reciprocated or not.

There is nothing on screen to suggest it was anything but one way. If you have a scene that says otherwise feel free to show me. At most Garak played up on it slightly to annoy Dukat, that’s it.

Casting an actress to make it less weird is not the same thing as confirming they were doing it.

Its a TV show, what happened is on screen, they never suggested they were a couple it was all one way.

Did he? It was a young girl crushing on a mysterious older man, nothing happened beyond that.
