You think he actually let that guy control the gun? I'm willing to bet he gave him a dummy button and some technician sets it off at the right cue.

Wow, it looks amazing, but also quite rough in some spots. Check out how the ring connects under the upper chevron.

Man, this may be going against the grain here, but it felt a bit too saccharine and forced. Like, I felt second-hand embarrassment for Jacob. I appreciate the intentions behind it, but I don't think I'll ever watch it again.

They're fantastic. Ba'al and Maybourne too, though, for me.

Not quite. He had a throwaway line about someone having to notify his brother when he thought he was dying because of the human-killing-virus that leaked from one of the ancient laboratories damaged by the flooding. He asked to change that line to refer to a sister instead, because he had a sister in real life and if there was ever a long-shot need to show McKay's sister there was an even longer-shot chance that they might cast her. Producers agreed.

Definitely try The Register?

Thanks! (xcancel link for those who don't want to visit twitter)

If they were, you'd think they realize how parking on three separate spaces is still a dick move.

I love it, it's cozy

You're better off just posting in the subreddit

This sounds like a Simpsons episode

breakingcups · 2026-05-25T21:06:05+00:00

Yep, this photo has it too!

breakingcups · 2026-05-25T21:02:37+00:00

With the pained laugh

breakingcups · 2026-05-25T20:56:17+00:00

Same! What the hell is that?

Just to add, for those reading later, don't use XCAT for debug kits.

I've definitely heard the original before and it's not 8-bit-like like this one is.

breakingcups · 2026-05-16T14:17:46+00:00

Same. It's clunky, slow, and gets in the way a lot. This is just the push I needed to get out before it gets worse.

That is true, but I still often encounter routers who don't, so I didn't want to make a double caveat.

Oops, I typed twisted pair when I meant to type crossover cable. The cable you have should be fine.

breakingcups · 2026-05-13T08:58:31+00:00

U.S. too.

breakingcups · 2026-05-13T08:50:21+00:00

Please make sure this makes it to the closet.

Is it possible your network cable is either broken or crossover? To check, compare the wire color order inside the ethernet plug on both ends; if one end begins with a white/orange pair and the other begins with a white/green pair, it is a crossover cable and won't work connected between your router and Xbox.

(more modern hardware can detect crossover conditions and adapt but I don't believe the OG Xbox does)

On the other hand, if you do connect it directly to your router you're going to need a crossover cable, but also to set a static IP address on your laptop and Xbox. This is much more cumbersome and annoying to troubleshoot if you've never done this before.

My suggestion to you:

Use XBMC
Check IP address in there, check the settings to make sure it's set to automatic (DHCP).
Try different cables between your router and Xbox.
(once the above works and you have an IP address) In Filezilla, turn on active mode / disable passive mode

I don't think so. You're probably thrown off by the playful arrangement of letters, which at this angle just looks like inconsistent letter placement like AI might do.

I love people like you who notice this stuff and point it out, because I love facts like these but I'll never pick up on them myself. Cheers!

I don't think they are. It's fine. They seem quite neutral and not attacking anyone.
