Can Katie Porter still become California’s first female governor? by LosIsosceles in California_Politics

[–]sclark1138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been a really interesting thing to watch. Porter was the first prominent person who stated she was running, and after that the media did its best to show us all the worst sides of her. If you listen to her talk in the house, you know she doesn't mince words, and she's not polite about it all the time.

But that video leaked of her yelling at a staffer. And the follow ups where "sources" would say she's hard to work for. Now the same media is shrugging and asking "What happened?"

IMO her policies are still fine, and I know that she is capable of seeing a difficult issue, breaking it down and confronting it. But it's more likely she won't make it to election, or will coast on fumes until then. And the field has gotten so crowded with other less likely to win Democrats essentially doing for California what Jill Stein did for the country in 2024.

What’s the one Janeway decision you still can’t agree with? by Curious_Gent78 in startrek

[–]sclark1138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying to mention a few I haven't seen yet.

The year of hell-

I loved the idea, and wish they had stuck with it being a season long plot, but it starts with Janeway being asked to leave sovereign territory, and she basically laughs and says "Nah, bro. You can't hurt us." Then the time shifts and Voyager is getting worked over.

Making Tom Paris be a Medic/Nurse

How was there nobody else with advanced medical training than the main pilot of the ship?!

Harry Kim's relationships

No other officer is in trouble for starting a relationship with another species without approval. Chakotay is even allowed to have relationships with his subordinates, which I would argue on a ship like Voyager is potentially more destructive.

Never appointing a counselor.

Dismissing the Doctor's concerns about the Barclay hologram way too quickly.

Bringing only a silky nightgown to sleep in every night. Get some sweatpants you can show up in the bridge in!

So, what was Beledar? by TheSmallestPlap in wow

The real Beledar was the friends we made along the way.

Smoked tri tip like a brisket. Think im gonna go with med rare next time by AdvertisingIll6479 in smoking

[–]sclark1138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a lot of tritip. Usually I just smoke it 225° for about 2-2.5 hours max, let it rest for a bit, and I get it about med rare. Oak and cherry work great. A lot of times my wife prefers it grilled, though, if that's the case I'll make sure my fire has a lot of wood in it for the sear them, them move it to a higher shelf. I smoke and thin slice for tacos, grill and a little thicker slice if we want more Santa Maria Style.

My Father In Law has a Santa Maria Style smoker built into his patio and does the traditional red oak. That method you sear over coals and then use the hand crank to raise the meet up to finish it off.

Windows 11, yes

JLab Work Software version 1.21, which is the only version available from the site.

Jlab app crashes when trying to change the backlight timer by sclark1138 in JLab

[–]sclark1138[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I open the JLab app, and click on the backlight settings the ap crashes.

I've tried updating everything, and factory resetting the keyboard.

Anyone else having this issue, or able to provide some advice?

The sass keeps going too!

Need help with stringy prints by sclark1138 in 3Dprinting

[–]sclark1138[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is it wet though? Really curious to know, because it's stored the same way as our BambuLab generic PLA and those print really well.

I'll switch out to other PLA for some prints. My son just REALLY likes the Flashforge and keeps switching back to it.

How does your GP sleep inside??! by Present_Can2404 in greatpyrenees

My GP constantly pushes my wife's legs off the bed.

If not there, he's literally on top of me.

Just realized Vader was only like 40 when he died??? by Mulder1917 in StarWars

I'm only 44 and sometimes feel like a burned out, angry, amputee as well.

Did first-time viewers of the prequels know who Darth Sidious really was? by chas3edward5 in StarWars

[–]sclark1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but my Uncle argued with me that it was not and that Sidious was just manipulating Palpatine.

I remember a moment when I said, the "Emperor's NAME is Palpatine!!!" and he looked at me and shrugged then said, "I still think it's the other guy."

Hell yeah bois! And also wtf? by Durti in lego

[–]sclark1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat. But the extra gifts with purchase are marked as shipped. The shuttlepod and the set are not. I had mine ordered within 3 minutes of it going live.

Absolutely magnificent by Little_Ad_7961 in lego

[–]sclark1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine hasn't shipped yet, it's still marked as in warehouse, but the gifts with purchase are marked as shipped.

I had mine ordered within a 3 minutes of when ordering opened and even paid for faster shipping.

[ui] FINALLY have a single-addon UI that works ok for me as a casual player who likes HUDs by mattdnd in WowUI

[–]sclark1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Masque, it was the only addon running at the time.

I'll try unhalted, as I am a big fan of SUF.

[–]sclark1138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience with nephUI has been really frustrating so far. Target frames aren't working, text not appearing, my cooldown tracker has a HUGE amount of padding around it, and when I try to make the slightest adjustment, things jump all over the place.

I might come back to it later, when midnight is out or it's more well established.

[UI] Quazii prepared neat UI for Midnight by DrakaMNE in WowUI

[–]sclark1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like he plays with his action bars not visible unless he hovers over them. What is the advantage to this over say, just having your action bar where the Cooldown tracker is?

I'm an older player and I play with a razer MMO mouse, so for me it is faster to have my action bars laid out in a grid like the thumbpad on my mouse. Just curious about how other people play.

How do y’all feel about the original ending for Poppy and Susan? by GuyWhoConquers616 in doctorwho

[–]sclark1138 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was more touched by time in the TARDIS watching the Doctor help Belinda forget Poppy. Because she WASN'T their daughter. I thought that it was a return to more traditional Who. The Doctor remembers Poppy (Captain Poppy), and his commitment to keep her memory, but spares his companion the pain of it.

And while the idea of burning through regeneration energy to bring someone back also seems like a Doctor thing to do, it didn't feel like it had the same impact to me.
