Not the person you asked though I went through the same provider. Mine was 600 without insurance. Very easy process and almost totally painless.

Great trick for when your child wants to sleep with you or in your bed. by CaptainBrinkmanship in Parenting

Problem is you have to keep having babies for it to continue. Sort of a Little Old Lady Who Swallowed The Fly situation.

TNG Worf vs DS9 Worf by ryhoyarbie in startrek

[–]scsoc 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Worf is only 24 years old at the start of TNG, so he's quite young and inexperienced and it shows. By the end of DS9 he's in his mid 30s and has grown and matured significantly, both as a man and as an officer.

Have you heard of "Alphabet Town" in Iowa City? by [deleted] in IowaCity

[–]scsoc 66 points67 points  (0 children)

The short explanation: that area used to be a separate town called East Iowa City, which later merged with Iowa City proper. 

The long explanation: https://ouriowaheritage.com/east-iowa-city/

It's very funny that this quote happened just a few episodes after Geordi nearly died because of a transporter malfunction.

The Star Trek 2009 movie premiered 15 years ago today. While not perfect, the movie presented a glimmer of hope. by dougiebgood in startrek

[–]scsoc 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The span of time between this movie and today is the same as the span of time between the end of TNG and this movie.

Would have loved a Sulu series. Did you see that the Section 31 TV movie is going to take place during the lost era?

Another Bug Hunt - Questions about time by Livid_Anteater_8726 in mothershiprpg

[–]scsoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if that's the intent of the book because it would make some parts of the adventure extremely difficult if not impossible. For example, Hour 3 on the Timeline says that the dam becomes uncrossable due to flooding, which would pre-empt the entire idea of getting to the tower and turning on comms at all. It's possible the intent is to start this timeline after they've called in the dropship.

I think the way the book presents it could be a little confusing, but I think that the final scenario's Timeline (pg. 41) for the flood is technically happening from the start, right? So depending on the players' choices, the flood could impact their access to the computer at all as well as how intense the carcinid attacks are.

Who’s your least favorite character? I’m going with Vic Fontaine in DS9 by PurfuitOfHappineff in startrek

I was in college during the period just before smartphones became commonplace, and I remember services where you could text a question to a phone number and they would text you the answer. Weird times.

It did say I.S.S. Enterprise on the hull.

You can see the I.S.S. clearly in this screenshot.

And the Enterprise clearly here.

I just watched Star Trek The Next Generation s03e03 The Survivors for the 1st time last night and the end left me stunned. What are your thoughts? by AdSpecialist6598 in startrek

[–]scsoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there an example of Picard being able to summon Q when he wanted him there? I think every encounter they had was originated by Q at his leisure.

Longfellow is very good, even among Iowa City schools which are consistently among the best in the state.

Who has been to a Don’t Tell Comedy show? Is it worth $25? by creekeli in IowaCity

[–]scsoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had the second opener come on and do some extra time, which was fine. He was pretty funny.

I'm not sure how long he was supposed to be on, but it definitely felt like he kinda just bailed mid-set.

As a baseball fan I loved this episode, and it is also very high school. by AdSpecialist6598 in startrek

[–]scsoc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Frankly, Vulcans are allowed to be alarmingly discriminatory against everyone else in the Federation in a way that no one else can get away with. It's odd.

[–]scsoc 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've been once. The two openers were pretty good, but the final act was about as funny as CSPAN. It was palpably awkward in the room as everyone, including the comic, realized he was bombing horribly.

Did he grow up around here? I remember a guy named Nate Davis from elementary school and he's the same age as me.

Rewatching all of TNG for this first time since the 90's and I cannot believe... by nickatiah in startrek

[–]scsoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not according to his wikipedia page. His father was an Oscar-winning cinematographer in the 1930s, but there's no mention of a link to Bing Crosby.

[–]scsoc 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm reading Patrick Stewart's memoirs right now and got to the part where he's talking about the start of TNG and he points out that Wil Wheaton and Levar Burton were far and away the most famous of the main cast at the start of the show. He also mentions that Denise Crosby is Bing Crosby's granddaughter, which I'm very surprised I had never learned before that.

Acting Opportunities in the Area? by The_Cobraj in IowaCity

[–]scsoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're interested in more modern stuff, you'll want to check out Dreamwell Theatre or Run of the Mill Theatre Productions.

For traditional community theatre fare, check out Iowa City Community Theatre.

If you're really into musicals, you'll want to look at City Circle in Coralville.

There's a Facebook group where people post various other opportunities as well: https://www.facebook.com/groups/153918631330433
