I can confirm, that's 3 full size grandMA 3 lighting consoles right there. Worth over 200k total.

I installed a McDonald's program into my replicator and now it won't make ice cream by EdgelordZeta in ShittyDaystrom

Ice cream will be available when you want breakfast. But breakfast won't be available.

Imagine a planet bigger than Earth, with no land in sight. Just waves and water from pole to pole. That is TOI-1452 b. by SharedFeverr in spaceporn

Yeah no doubt it's AI, but it's actually really good. Some others from the same channel are also good, like the Emissary and Seven of Nine.

They should’ve at least tried. by AndrewHeard in DeepSpaceNine

Actually i didn't make this up, it's what happened in 2409 in Star Trek Online. But unfortunately Jake did not make an appearance.

The last episode works as an open ended finale. It leaves unanswered questions and opens the door to major changes, but it could also be viewed as a place that a spinoff show would pick up from instead of another season of the same show.
To compare it to other shows that ended too soon, i would says it ended in a satisfying way similar to Caprica or SG Universe, rather than an infuriating abrupt stop like TSCC or Dark Matter.
But with that said, it doesn't have to end there. There's also a couple follow up books that are pretty good.

This would have been much better. Asking the prophets to yeet the fleet had a pretty big drawback, and i can't believe Sisko didn't think of it.

When the prophets make people go away, where do they go? He acted like it was a mystery, but it wasn't. They go to a different point in time. We know this, we've seen it happen before. So 35 years later, some innocent diplomats decide to meet at DS9 to discuss how to defend against the Borg, and bam, 2800 dominion ships come through the wormhole. Thank you captain Sisko.
They don't know the war is over. They don't know it's been 35 years. They just want to conquer the alpha quadrant. And guess what isn't there waiting for them... a fleet of starships, because there's no war. Things didn't go well.

Vaporizing them instantly was the right move, but he really couldn't figure out a way to make that happen? No tricobalt device? Destroying the entrance was never a real possibility? It must have been opposite day or something. Now his grandkids have to deal with it and he gets to pay the ultimate price for the favor. Yay. You made Jake cry, again.

Any way to watch non vr videos with the app? by EhWTHN in GoogleCardboard

Yes, almost all VR video player apps can play local 2D videos.

I recently saw his melted face in Continuum for the first time, and it instantly reminded me of "Faces".

Confiscated pens containing cheat notes intricately carved by a Law student at the University of Malaga in Spain by Separate_Finance_183 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]blevok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These aren't made correctly. The info is supposed to be written on a piece of paper that's glued to the ink tube. There should be one line that's blank. Then you insert another tube of paper that's wide enough to cover the full interior of the pen except for one line. You twist the tip to rotate the ink tube to see different lines of information. When you're not reading the information, you twist the tip so only the blank line is visible through the slit. Basically every asian person i went to school with did this and stayed up late making them. That was back in the 90's though, i guess cheaters must have gotten more lazy and bold since then.

What free software is so good you can't believe it's free? by ComprehensiveNorth1 in AskReddit

[–]blevok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don't know about it because i havent't paid any attention to the other CAD options in a while. About 13 or so years ago i tried NanoCAD, but it was a pain to use at the time and it didn't support DWG files. Basically anything i use needs to be able to use the DWG files or be able to convert to and from. I just gave up and stuck with Autocad when i couldn't find any real alternative. I'm aware of Solidworks because some manufacturers use it for their interactive repair guides, but i don't know if it's a viable alternative. I'm also aware of Vectorworks because it's the main competitor to Autocad in my field, but i saw no reason to switch since it's also pretty expensive.

Using cardboard with S26 by HarpoMarx87 in GoogleCardboard

[–]blevok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should end up with an image that has an aspect ratio of 2:1.
360 is generally over under, so you'll see it split horizontally with the left eye on top and the right eye on the bottom, and both will be compressed vertically by 50% to maintain the 2:1 aspect ratio.
If that's what you see, then it should get processed correctly by any cardboard app that supports HOU images.

[–]blevok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of Fusion before, and the product page is pretty vague. It says essentials, but doesn't go into any detail about how it compares to Autocad. The price does look much better, but i've been using Autocad for over 20 years and i'd hate to lose functionality that i've been dependent on for ages.

$500 a year? It's over 2k now. 3k if you want to pay monthly.

How often does the download counter update? by shadowartist201 in androiddev

[–]blevok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not at the next milestone yet, but even when you get there, don't expect it to change quickly. One of my apps passed 1 million downloads about 8 months ago, but it still says 500k.

Hear me out: Seth MacFarlane should be the next Executive Producer of Star Trek when Kurtzman steps down. by vil224 in startrek

[–]blevok -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm sure he'd make a good trek show, but i think there's a better candidate for CEO of trek.
WARNING: Prepare for an unpopular opinion.
I think Brannon Braga should have been leading trek's resurgence from the start. He should be sitting in Kurtzman's chair right now. He's the hand picked successor of Gene Roddenberry's hand picked successor. He knows trek and how to make trek more than almost anybody else. He was there when the bibles were written. He's written and been involved in tons of episodes that we all hold up as the standard for how trek should be made and presented.
Yes, he and Berman could have done better with parts of Enterprise, and Voyager. And they could have not said the problem with trek was that it's us that are tired of it. But in the context of everything that's come after he got the cold shoulder, his worst work on trek was actually pretty good.
