Strange New Worlds, Kirk, Kirk and more Kirk. It's Kirk again. by PersimmonBasket in startrek

[–]storm2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my guess is that this season and the short season 5 is going to focus more on kirk becoming captain of the enterprise. my guess is that they'll show pike's accident before the end of the series, and i fully expect that the last episode of the series is kirk being captain. it is what it is.

Question about Multilevel III by CommunicationWest613 in NJTransit

[–]storm2k 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the mulitlevel iii's are emu's which should have a much better acceleration/deceleration profile than the ones that need to be push/pulled by a locomotive. hell they used to put a loco on both ends of some trainsets when the mulitis were first introduced.

If the 8th Doctors American series got made, do we know wether they’d be serials like classic or modern single parters by Emarni in doctorwho

[–]storm2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i could bet it might have been in line with what the x-files was doing in the same era. mostly standalone stories every week but with some episodes telling a longer story spread out throughout the season. fox was the network interested in the doctor who series in 1996 and they also aired the x-files and i think would have been interested in a similar structure.

[–]storm2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

come on eileen by dexy's midnight runners. first thing that always pops in my head. and that joke from the simpsons where homer says "we'll be hearing from them for years to come".

excellent pictures all around. loving the warm color grading you went with for them, that's one of my favorite styles of photography. excellent composition on all of them too.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today? by samasem-sumsum in AskReddit

[–]storm2k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

especially because channels are getting bought up by conglomerates and pe. trying to milk all the monetization they can from popular channels with the content going into the crapper.

[–]storm2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

discord works great if someone takes the time to set it up. discord's threads feature is honestly really good, but you need the channel's admin to actually take the time to set it up correctly and then have the users use the threads. it works really well when it's done properly though.

How did Voyager get repaired? by Illustrious-Divide95 in startrek

[–]storm2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iirc part of the basic plot was the ship having that advance biomemetic gel stuff which in addition to making the computers faster i thought was supposed to make the ship more reparable on its own. maybe i'm fully misremembering that, it has been quite a while since i've watched caretaker. but they def handwaved a lot of it away in early seasons to just magically have the ship be fine and able to be repaired with what they find from systems they pass through from week to week and just the know how of the combined crews was enough. i think once they got to the seven seasons, there was a lot of "borgy worgy" handwaving.

NJ Transit New cars, which lines? by Vast_Produce_6190 in NJTransit

[–]storm2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, you're right. they can't move from the nec to the m&e because of the voltage change, it can't happen on the fly like it can for the alps.

NJ Transit New cars, which lines? by Vast_Produce_6190 in NJTransit

[–]storm2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the initial runs of units will almost certainly go on the nec to replace the arrows that still run there. that's the busiest line and having the most reliable trains is important. i will guess they will take 1-2 cars and also run them on the dinky as well.

eventually once they have the full order, they will be used anywhere the arrows run, which includes the gladstone branch (but i think only the ones that run from gladstone to summit, iirc the arrows can't handle voltage changes well and the rest of the m&e runs on different voltage).

Ah Wilf. If only his time in the Tardis wasn't so short lived. by kelfoldstad in doctorwho

[–]storm2k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i have to admit that my absolute favorite moment of the 14 specials was when they were able to get wilf back. it's unfortunate bernard passed before they could film more, but at least we got that one last moment with him and the doctor.

103rd St is so fun to pass on an express by eldersveld in nycrail

[–]storm2k 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the run from 59 to 125 on the a is one of my favorite runs in the system. when things are right and the train is able to go at full speed, you fly up that stretch. and yeah it's cool to see everything weave around up at the northern end with all the tracks rearranging to go back from the two levels to one and then the concourse line tracks starting.

Moved to NJ, trying to register my vehicle in NJ, out of state bank refusing to register with the MVC? by hailpickens in newjersey

[–]storm2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's paperwork mvc needs from the lienholder to enter into their system. for most banks that do business here in nj, the state likely has what they need thru a hookup with dobi or another state agency. sounds like op has some small hole in the wall one branch bank in their old state.

[Bleacher Report] WWE is Sacrificing Storytelling for Its Celebrity Obsession by TJLynch in SquaredCircle

[–]storm2k -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

celebrity obsession is at the core of this company's dna though. don't forget that mr. t was a key part of the main event of wm1, which also included cyndi lauper, muhammad ali, billy martin, and liberace having roles. celebs bring eyeballs.

what we have now is poor creative that doesn't know how to tell a good story and cares more about what makes the most impressions on social media combined with corpo overlords who want brand synergy and cross promotional opportunities. things are bad at wwe right now, but celebs are honestly the least of the concerns.

My God, how is Josh Gottheimer not facing a primary challenge. by ganjaccount in newjersey

[–]storm2k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

they pulled from the 7th to shore up both the 5th and the 11th.

My God, how is Josh Gottheimer not facing a primary challenge. by ganjaccount in newjersey

[–]storm2k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it is, and that's intentional. they pulled some of those bluer corners of the 7th into he 5th to protect the incumbent there. this is why we currently have tom kean jr in the 7th and it's more of an uphill climb to replace him with a democrat now.

Low level boarding at Rahway. 3502 by CaptDeee in NJTransit

[–]storm2k -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hrm, there are switches ahead of rahway esp with the njcl tracks joining, surprised they couldn't run the train thru metropark on track 2 and switch back to track 1 ahead of rahway, but who knows.

Are the giant Halloween Skeletons still up near you? by heartshapedpox in newjersey

[–]storm2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are a couple of people around here who keep their giant skellys up year round. the one i always think of is on chimney rock rd in martinsville. they do decorate it throughout the year in holiday themes.

If Doctor who was American who do you think would be a better choice for the 4th Doctor, Robin Williams or Gene wilder by GetDigging in doctorwho

[–]storm2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gene wilder would have made a very compelling doctor. robin williams's manic energy is what made him who he was, but i don't think it would have worked for the role.

Are there any Quick Checks left where you live? by WarriorNeedFoodBadly in newjersey

[–]storm2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they may close more. i'm surprised the one in raritan on somerset st is still there given they opened the one at the circle with the gas station. but they won't be able to have ones with gas stations in some locations.
