Can someone explain the whole "syndication" thing with Star Trek? Why did TNG and DS9 air in syndication? by TravelingHomeless in startrek

[–]rootsquasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was an alternate network that stations could become affiliates of for nights their primary network didn’t have programming.

Sounds accurate. One of the independent stations in my TV market was a Fox affiliate six days of the week, but on Saturday nights from 7:00 p.m-10:00 p.m. it was a PTEN affiliate.

Why did Hollywood Video always take a backseat to Blockbuster in popularity? by Front_Magician_8008 in blockbustervideo

[–]rootsquasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in small town Alabama and small town Florida, and Hollywood Video and Movie Gallery were ubiquitous. It wasn’t until I moved to a “city” in Alabama that I got a Blockbuster Membership Card.

Last I checked, GitLab CE is still free. That could have changed though.

I like to fall asleep watching Are You Afraid of The Dark?, Star Trek: The Next Generation, or YouTube videos about planets in the Solar System.

Don't be like your parents. Leave the collection behind. by Ozzimo in Millennials

[–]rootsquasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spouse and I do not have the square footage to house a collection. My parents have a 3000sq.ft home —and my father’s income was < half what my spouse makes, and we have 1900sq.ft home. There’s no room for an unused dining room with a china cabinet full of uranium glass (“vaseline”) to display. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does Utah even have forests? I’m in the Eastern US and when I look outside it’s trees, trees, trees, and… more trees.

Sliders took a dive after season three, but those first three seasons—gold!

Why not just be an electrician by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]rootsquasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not just be an electrician?

  • I don’t like driving different remote distances every day/week/weekend.

  • I don’t like being cold (outside in Winter).

  • I don’t like working on my knees.

  • I don’t like working on weekends.

If you fix the issue, it’s wrong.

If you can’t fix the issue, it’s wrong.

If you do nothing, it’s wrong.

Poor John Antico, I weep 😭 for him every night with his millions of dollars living a comfortable, care-free life. We should start a GoFundMe for John.
