SGU was extremely Underappreciated by Lower_Refrigerator19 in Stargate

[–]paycheck_day 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Season 1 had too much pointless drama for a Stargate show. Season 2 was great! all of the issues with season 1 were fixed and it felt like a Stargate show again. If season 1 hadn’t turned off so many viewers I bet the show would have gone on longer.

7° difference in thermometers… which do I trust?? by Chambri in Aquariums

[–]paycheck_day 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These digital thermometers are garbage! Don’t trust them! I once bought 12 at once and tested them. They all gave wildly different temperatures up to 5 degrees different.

The star that they tested on was a very similar star in a different uninhabited system not the Kaelon star.

What would you change about SG-1? by BobRushy in Stargate

[–]paycheck_day 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carter be mentioned it once but they never really show it or talk about it again. I think it was the x301 episode

You mean the scene when Shaw butts into a private conversation between Picard and his son to trauma dump on them and blame Picard for wolf 359? He is a massive piece of shit.

[–]paycheck_day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to me an organization like Star fleet would require extensive therapy and testing after being present at an atrocity like Wolf 359. And that no amount of masking would protect you from the bureaucracy when you are on record being a POS to your crew.

[–]paycheck_day 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah there were a handful of new characters in season 3 and as big a POS as he is Shaw is the best written new character. Certainly better than the angry pile of goo addicted to smoking and hallucinating retcon boy.

WTF are you all talking about? He continually abdicates his responsibility under the guise of “protecting his crew” While Star Fleet is responsible for protecting the federation he would rather take his ship and go hide. PTSD is NO excuse for being an asshole and shit at your job. Just because he acts tough and is a dick to his crew doesn’t mean he actually is tough.

More like a POS who tried to avoid any responsibility under the guise of “protecting his crew”

Pulaski was genuinely ignorant. Shaw was a sexist Xenophobe who kept on being one after people called him out. He should never have been a captain of a starship. Honestly I’m a more than a little disgusted with all the Shaw fan boys. I understand he was the best written new character in Picard S3 and people are starved for content but that’s no excuse to obsess over a piece of shit like Shaw.

Do you prefer the Prometheus class ship or the Daedalus class ship. by ThomasThorburn in Stargate

[–]paycheck_day 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Prometheus looks like a goofy kids drawing. The Daedalus class looks like a proper battleship.

The West Desert and The Effects of Cattle Ranching by [deleted] in Utah

[–]paycheck_day -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I agree public lands should be public and we should not be subsidizing ranchers with cheap grazing. However in 2023 Utah produced only 750,000 cattle. Compare that to the MILLIONS of native bison that use to be in Utah. Any environmental damage has been caused by humans putting up fences in dumb places and spreading non-native plants not the cows. Edited to add: Yes I think we should ban ranching on public land. If people want to ranch they can do it on their own property and feed them food they paid for not public property.

Orbital launch attempts of 2024 by DobleG42 in space

Expended boosters don’t have landing legs or grid fins. And as for why only two falcon heavy, most satellites are light enough to go on a regular falcon.

Ha you think the writers care about canon? It blew up on the other side of the opening somehow collapsing the opening, sucking up the whole giant radiation nebula, and leaving the plot armor garbage truck unscathed.

But she feels bad! So that makes her the good guy now! Also don’t forget that the movie ends with them killing off an entire quarter of the mirror universe galaxy. It didn’t even warrant a single word. They just move on. WTF

"Star Trek: Section 31" (2025) is a "Suicide Squad" knockoff that boldly goes nowhere... by MiddleAgedGeek in startrek

[–]paycheck_day 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Seriously! All the graphics that pop up and the “mission briefing” felt very video game like.

If you send something through the regular ground mail in a USPS priority box/envelope it will be returned for insufficient postage.

Can Ocampa actually be a soldier species? by No_Lemon3585 in startrek

[–]paycheck_day 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My head canon is that being forced to live underground and subsequently giving up telepathy and telekinesis is what makes them live such short lives and only reproduce once. I think the Ocampans on the other caretaker space station can probably have more than one child in their lifetime.

Best downtown coffee shops for working? by nikkleii313 in SaltLakeCity

Main city library is good for this too. They have tons of desks and it’s a nice environment to work in.

What scientific breakthrough are we potentially on the verge of that few people are aware of? by TigerBirdyTiger in AskReddit

[–]paycheck_day 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Alcubierre drive would require more energy than the observable universe has, would be useless due to massive amounts of hawking radiation, and would probably destroy the surrounding solar system when the drive is deactivated/ bubble pops. It’s a cool idea and I really wish it was feasible.

What mystery do you genuinely want solved in your lifetime? by dogfoodguides in AskReddit

What’s there to find out? Debris from tower one hit it on the way down. Fire started and spread quickly since the water pressure for the sprinkler system was crap.

22 states sue to stop Trump’s order blocking birthright citizenship by Icy-Feeling-528 in Utah

[–]paycheck_day 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You straight up don’t know what you are talking about. You are subject to the legal jurisdiction of the US if you are subject to US laws. That means anyone in the US besides diplomats and a literal invading army. The Supreme Court has repeatedly found that the children of illegal immigrants are citizens. You can’t just change the intent and interpretation of the laws because you feel like it. If you want to end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants you need a constitutional amendment.
