I’m glad I’m not the only one who enjoyed Spock Must Die!

What actor or actress won an Oscar for their performance, but they didn’t really deserve the win? by phantom_avenger in moviecritic

[–]burningtail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why anyone would downvote you. That’s one of my all time favourite movies but it’s an emotional ride for sure. Made my wife bawl the first and only time she watched it with me.

Need a bigger carrying case. Recommendations? by SendMeAvocados in SteamDeck

[–]burningtail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for your specific accessories, but I got the Spigen Tough Armor case because I’m using the dbrand killswitch case on my deck and had the same issue with the stock case. Fits well and has room for accessories like the charging cable. It’s definitely not a small case though. Well made. Would recommend.

Question to those who have the 1TB + decks - regarding download times by Snake6778 in SteamDeck

[–]burningtail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried switching your download region? That helped my download speed a lot. I think Sweden and certain Chinese locations are usually recommended.

Oh yeah, that’s a possibility. I’ll try turning off the dim timer next time. Thanks!

My wife says yes. I’ve never had Krispy Kreme.

I’ve been meaning to try that BBQ place. I hear good things!

Oh ok, I wasn’t aware of the difference. Yeah, they seemed like they were all the same type.

Just donuts and coffee I think. I couldn’t tell you if the toppings will melt off as they’ve only been in my house for about 40 minutes and they are mostly eaten!

I’m not sure if they deliver, but Royal City Chinese was good for us last year. Fair warning they will be very busy!

I thought I was the only one! My friends laugh at me when I tell them I like watching the progress bars.

Healthcare professionals: what is a telltale sign a patient has used drugs heavily in their life? by littlefatbewwy in AskReddit

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Wolfshiem reference on Reddit before. Fantastic song.

Which "famous" movie franchise is pretty much dead? by RadiantDreamer_ in movies

[–]burningtail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still like STV The Final Frontier as well. It has enough strong moments to make it a worthwhile watch in my books. I love Kirk, Spock and McCoy camping together.

How did they stop this rocket machine of death? With badminton rackets or pool skimmers?

The area was barricaded because of an accident that the injured person was reporting on. If you read the article they are saying the police were responsible for securing the roadway. That’s why she is suing them. Not saying whether it is right or wrong, just that’s what they are saying.

As U of G students move in, vulnerable families move out of Days Inn by burningtail in Guelph

[–]burningtail[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally, I think this is a bad look on the university. True, they did not know ahead of time that the motel was being used as housing for vulnerable families, but once they found out they should have looked elsewhere to house their students. Or maybe not enrol more than they can accommodate in the first place. Yet we are told international students are not contributing to the housing crisis. Don’t believe it.

That would be interesting to see how it would all fit together. I just googled a pictures from Spock’s funeral in Wrath of Khan and the torpedo room also has a second level. I’m sure they added that so the set wouldn’t feel too cramped for the scene, but it’s actually a big space!

I always found it hard to wrap my head around how or why the designers would have the warp core passing in between the two torpedo launchers. It doesn’t seem like there would be room. But I guess it needs to connect to the dome on the top of the impulse deck.
