He looks real good when he has the ball and a head of steam downhill, but it just seems like everyone’s a little out of sync, so no one is really showing their full potential. I mean, 20 turnovers in the first half?? It’s hard to really judge anything when you’re dealing with stats like that. Let’s see what happens against the Hawks today. Hopefully they don’t look as godawful as last game and that we can actually get a good read on how the boys are doing.

Two of them were made after this article came out (he mentions four movies being made. Star Trek IV came out in 1986, TNG premiered in 1987). So Star Trek V 😬 and Star Trek VI 👍 were yet to be made.

That one actually isn’t a mistake. His last name was spelled “Ryker” when they were developing the show.

Zndl points out correctly that the trick is to not update the watch past watchOS 8. I would hope the watch series 7 would still ship with watchOS 8.

The most recent watch that maxes out at watchOS 8 is the series 3 but that one is pretty underpowered, so I’d have a hard time recommending it.

Looks like you’re right. For the fine print to be right, Apple Watch Series 7 would have to ship with watchOS 8. Do you think they’re still shipping like that? What a weird dilemma.

It looks like anything from Series 7 down will work with your wife’s SE with iOS 15.

The small print from the Apple Watch Series 7:

Apple Watch Series 7 requires an iPhone 6s or later with iOS 15 or later.

iPhone SE was released after the iPhone 6s and can take iOS 15 so you should be good

It’s quite cool.

I totally understand your desire for a community that allows you to discuss classic trek without worrying that your enjoyment of new series will be lessened if you read spoilers. Reddit has a big enough user base to have separate subreddits for each series. Lemmy’s not there yet.

think there is a way to make any forum spoiler-avoidable, especially where very current episodes are at play. Sensible titles (e.g., including the episode discussed) would go a long way toward helping with this.

Lemmy also ostensibly supports spoiler tags

Getting people to use those where appropriate might also help.

I look forward to seeing how this and other trek communities develop, and I hope that your experience improves.

“The Agreement was reached orally, and no loan documentation was prepared or signed by any of the parties at that time," the lawsuit said.

Just a friendly reminder to always get it in writing, especially if it’s, you know, $2 million.

I’m with you on your analysis. It wasn’t mindblowingly good, but it was certainly good enough to not feel like a band past its prime trying to cash in on one last payday. I do think that Billy West (Fry)‘s voice has aged some as well, but I got used to it after a minute or two and it was fine.

I think when you’re coming back from cancelation…AGAIN, and especially after so long, it’s not like a pilot, but it requires more exposition than a regular season opener. So it was good enough on its own merit, and I’m grading it on a curve as it’s the first episode in a decade and has to do a bit more storytelling drudgery than your average show.

Hydration is important! Other crew members should take note. (Surely the consoles are waterproof.)

I’m not letting myself have too good a feeling this offseason. I had a good feeling last offseason and look where that got me! I will keep an even keel until the Pels show me what to think of them when the regular season starts.

There were times when Jaxson was playing poorly and JV was totally gassed where I couldn’t understand why Willie Green didn’t put him in. He’s not a world-beater, but I thought there were specific spots where him not eating up a minute or two didn’t makes sense to me.

Is that on the beta or just stock Ventura?

Because I’m in the Mac ecosystem, I use NetNewsWire on my devices and sync with iCloud. Before that, I used Feedly to sync. Feedly also has a web interface. I’m not sure what the best RSS apps are for Windows and Android are, though.

Here’s an article Wired did on feed readers last year. Many of them are subscription services, but some are freemium. (NetNewsWire is totally free).

One of the best changes I’ve made to my content consumption habits in the last couple of years has been not relying on following news-ish social media accounts for my news or going to certain websites in hopes that there have been updates, but really diving back into RSS hard. it’s such a better way to get most news content.

Season 3 is your reward for having to sit through Shades of Gray.

Leather is an interesting case, though, because regardless of whether or not people buy it, the cows will still be killed for meat (unless there’s a drastic change in food consumption habits).

You could make the argument that, at least in the current landscape, the purchase of leather doesn’t increase animal suffering or suffering due to the many deleterious effects of large scale beef production (deforestation for feed, the carbon output, etc.).

The only way to reduce the suffering created by a cow economy is to hit the main product driving it: beef. There are three times more beef cows than dairy cows in the U.S., so dairy consumption has an effect but it’s dwarfed by beef consumption.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

They’re both gorgeous, although the Siamese looks like it’s got evil intent!

I really like the original all-in-one form factor, so I guess I’ll go with The Macintosh Plus.
