Verizon is finally laying fiber optic in western maryland. I can’t wait to ditch Starlink and save ~$100 a month in the process.

Oh, so that’s why my internet went out for 4 hours yesterday. RIP.

Oh shit, hopefully god can’t see through my tin roof.

When you’re chewing on life’s gristle don’t grumble, give a whistle. And this’ll help things turn out for the best.

That’s an odd way of spelling incest. /s

Obviously you just forgot to lick the tines!

What kind of bulb is it? There’s a chance that homebridge or something could control it through an API without needing the app.

Through absolute chance (the TV i wanted was sold out on clearance so I got a different one on clearance) I ended up with an Android TV-powered sony bravia. It lets you go into the app permissions and disable the optical recognition whateverthefuck they call it software. The rest of the analytics can be blocked by some regex firewall/DNS rules. It’s the only smart TV OS that I would recommend.

All I wanna know is how fucked up and perverted the porn that they watch is. Anyone taking this hard of a stand against something surely must be projecting.

Let’s split the difference and have some Brits redraw the lines at random, they’re great at it!

Yeah but are we trying to get people into Trek or specifically into TNG?

That was basically my thought as well, but I still say it plays well as a stand-alone story to give someone a taste of Trek. They may be confused at the beginning of the episode but I feel it’s self contained and focused enough that most people can pick up the major beats from context (Cardassians = occupiers, Bajorans = formerly occupied). And then hopefully the acting, the mystery, and the twist ending are enough to, like you said, make the viewer want to learn more.

Edit: I’m thinking of ‘Frame of Mind’, but both episodes are pretty scary.

I’m nearing 40 and ‘Schisms’ is still straight up nightmare fuel for me. Wonderful performance from Frakes.

Also “Duet” from S1 of DS9. Incredible acting.

“Carbon Creek” serves as a VERY light introduction to some core Star Trek elements. It’s far from “the best” but it’s a heartwarming little peak into the world of Trek. You even see some Vulcan’s become influenced by human compassion which is a good way of showing what makes humans special.

I plan to show my mom Carbon Creek sometime soon.

Interesting. The trousers conceal a tiny, secondary horn.

Thanks, yeah it did. They were autoflowers thankfully so I only lost like 3 months of time but it still stung having to trash it all. How’s the humidity where you are? I learned that botrytis needs three things to attack your plant:

1. a host (the strawberries)
2. an initial food supply. an open wound on the plant is all it takes.
3. this is the big one, and the one i was warned about but ignored, HUMIDITY. I’m on the east coast and it got incredibly humid last summer.

As long as you can control for 2 of the 3 you should keep the mold at bay. I built a cheapo cage out of 1x2s and window screening to keep out the moths, as well as some some outdoor rated fans to help with the humidity. The strains I’ve grown so far definitely need defoliation so I can’t do much about not having open wounds on the plant. I’ve found college extension websites to be a very reliable source of free information if you want to do some reading!

This is my second outdoor season as well. Last year i lost 5 big plants to grey mold (botrytis), I believe from a combination of caterpillars and wild strawberries nearby.
