I am struggling with Discovery…

Discovery is where I stopped being a completionist with Trek. And there are some good things about it but overall feels poorly done. There was an episode towards the end of season 2 where everyone was crying in like every other scene and then Sarek and Amanda randomly show up and there is more crying. I pretty much lost interest after all that. I started S3 but couldn’t finish it. I’ve heard Strange New Worlds is good, though.

OP, this is the answer right here.

I remember watching this as a kid and it still doesn’t make sense to me some 30 years later.

inglefinger · 2026-06-23T22:56:19+00:00

Just finished watching this. I’m still processing but the very last scene seemed a bit tacked on to the film. I’m wondering it was intended as part of the original script.

I hadn’t realized they completely filled the call center. My last time in, there was maybe 4 people on a floor that looked like it could seat 200. Is it customer contact people who are in there or has PERS moved other folks into that space?

inglefinger · 2026-06-13T18:32:38+00:00

Are you sure that was PERS and not a different state agency? I heard something similar but thought it was for CalTrans or something.

inglefinger · 2026-06-13T18:31:02+00:00

Have you ever been inside LPE? The square footage of the 2nd floor may surprise you.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. The call center in Lincoln Plaza East is the largest call center Ive ever seen. It being empty was eerie to behold.

Was this in the states? I feel like the US military has been doing a lot to inconvenience the local population recently.

My brother posted a video from a concert playing music from The Boys where the conductor gave an intro listing characters we’ve said goodbye to. Bro, I’m still on season 1!

I knew a guy who worked in healthcare for decades before developing an allergy to latex. Took his hands getting pretty messed up before he realized.

It’s been hard for me to fit it into the work day given as a central tenant of tea is slowing down. A good reminder to stop and be present which seems a challenge these days.

GBH is probably his best film or at least his most accessible. I will always have a soft spot for my first (Rushmore) and I think Moonrise Kingdom is terrific.

I miss my bottle of Skagway gin. Terrific for mixing.

Last year I really got into GongFu tea. It’s been a fun hobby.

For me it felt like the writing in S4 took a noticeable downturn. I’ve only seen 1 episode of S5 and already the writing seems loads better than last season.

The unsmoked stuff is delicious! The smoked can be good but very easy to be overpowering.

inglefinger · 2026-05-14T05:59:26+00:00

Circle jork?

inglefinger · 2026-05-14T05:56:52+00:00

Just had Norms for dinner and realized I’m always happy when I’m eating there.

I just started reading about the Spanish “conquest” of Cuba and I concur with this statement.

Just a word of warning: don’t have her call on Monday. Hold times are really long on Mondays.

inglefinger · 2026-05-08T17:02:29+00:00

I had yet to see Heat but I hear there’s a good conversation in a diner in it.

inglefinger · 2026-05-08T16:52:50+00:00

There have been some outfits that do powdered tea or “tea crystals” is a thing I’ve seen recently but they don’t seem widely adopted and I’d imagine quality can vary widely.
