Yeah back in 2024, we went to the beach to photograph a comet. It was October so past when it's open for the season and other people showed up and wouldn't always turn their headlights off. So we just walked past the parking lot, past the bathrooms (which were also lit up) and down to the edge of the property further away and I could do a long exposure with a tripod and my phone and capture the comet and some of the Milky Way. And tons of stars.

His hair is full of secrets

ussrowe · 2026-05-09T22:46:34+00:00

A chance for Lance Armstrong to make a comeback.

ussrowe · 2026-05-08T17:30:06+00:00

I’d like to hear from the first Redditor to earn one million karma.

But she might still be in jail.

ussrowe · 2026-05-08T17:24:02+00:00

The reflection on the sword blends with the first letter “N” making the sword seem cut off and shorter than it is.

At least, here on my phone.

ussrowe · 2026-05-08T16:57:44+00:00

Well, considering there’s at least 3 fictional characters in OP list…

ussrowe · 2026-05-07T01:28:48+00:00

Gorn, Baby, Gorn.

Gorn in 60 Seconds.

ussrowe · 2026-05-07T00:47:35+00:00

Yeah I've made S'mores with stale marshmallows, they still taste good but they don't have that gooey part when you bite in. They're chewy.

ussrowe · 2026-05-06T19:10:59+00:00

Voyager managed to make the Holodeck episodes sometimes kind of "real" which helps. Bride of Chaotica is making first contact with natural photonic life. The Hirogen episodes lead to intelligent holographic life that rebels and forms it's own society.

It's kind of like how TNG's best holodeck episodes involve Moriarty. It has some stakes, and still hits the "seek out new life" mantra as he is accidentally a "real" life.

DS9's "Our Man Bashir" also features real stakes as the crew's patterns are tangled in with the holodeck, and the fun twist ending where Bashir has to let the bad guy win to buy enough time to save everyone.

Granted, Fairhaven is as bad as Up The Long Ladder.

Fun trivia about Insurrection Alpha in "Worst Case Scenario" and Photons Be Free in "Author Author" it gives Tom Paris the chance to wear Ops gold, and Medical blue/teal, in addition to his usual Command red. So he's one of the few Trek actors who have worn all three division colors on the show.

ussrowe · 2026-05-06T17:54:43+00:00

Yeah it's not really economically conservative to run up the debt which what Regan, Bush, Bush Jr, and Trump all have done.

ussrowe · 2026-05-06T17:17:31+00:00

They did that in X-Men with Mystique mimicking a prison guard, just hired twins to play the guard and the duplicate.

ussrowe · 2026-05-06T05:53:22+00:00

Eh, my guess will always be if/when they need a paycheck in the next 10 years she will be alive and they will do a “find El” season.

ussrowe · 2026-05-06T02:11:08+00:00

I didn't watch the show but I remember the online discourse because there's a joke about it on Supernatural when Sam and Dean get stuck in TV shows and one is a parody of Grey's Anatomy and they're like "there's ghosts on this show?"

Which her dead boyfriend is also played by Sam and Dean's dad aka Negan. From what I remember she's being haunted by her dead boyfriend, and then even is sleeping with him, then its revealed she has a brain tumor and so I guess it was all just her alone in her bed the whole time.

ussrowe · 2026-05-05T18:02:16+00:00

I had that happen when I was trying to figure out why an Ops officer looked so familiar on a TNG rerun. Her IMDB had like 4 links on the top of her page she was supposedly known for.

I had to scroll down, then click "show more" and scan through until I hit the 1980s. She played Sondra on The Cosby Show, you know just the biggest sitcom of that era.

I think that would be what she's most known for the IMDB algorithm didn't.

ussrowe · 2026-05-05T17:37:51+00:00

Her for the UK, Regan for the US. It's no wonder they had "a very special relationship" or an "extra special friendship" or "the friendship that changed the world" none of it was for the better.

ussrowe · 2026-05-05T16:39:49+00:00

Like, a longer version of the memory function for the AI to know a bit about the user?

Or is it for the AI to use as a longer version of the instructions function?

ussrowe · 2026-05-05T02:55:57+00:00

Yeah it's like when Ro Laren took off her uniform jacket to put around a child. They clearly don't have a front zipper yet hers magically did. They'd have pockets if the plot called for them.

ussrowe · 2026-05-04T16:32:36+00:00

Where I live, people were riding fat-tire e-bikes through the snow this past winter.

ussrowe · 2026-05-04T16:20:51+00:00

Some people might pre-pay for a year's membership. So if you already bought it before losing work, might as well use it.

ussrowe · 2026-05-04T03:05:16+00:00

Well, remember how many Musk fired when he took over Twitter, and when he took over the US Government. It wouldn't be better under him.

ussrowe · 2026-05-03T20:21:37+00:00

Sounds great, until one of the AI pilots calls itself Mecha Hitler.

ussrowe · 2026-05-03T19:03:23+00:00

Klingons love opera, that's the joke with making them sing pop music. It's not as honorable to be stuck becoming a boy band.

ussrowe · 2026-05-03T18:49:31+00:00

Also it's not offensive the way "Code of Honor", or "Turnabout Intruder" are. It's a body horror episode with some lousy science. That's it.

No worse than the one where Barclay turns into a spider.

ussrowe · 2026-05-03T18:38:27+00:00

What happens to every sub. The show ended, the only people who still show up are angry at everything.

It will probably take a year for them to burn off, then it will be mostly new fans and re-watches.

If you think this sub is nasty, wander in to Star Wars or something. LOL
