Not watching, I cut the cord to avoid commercials. But OTA + antenna , as others said, is a solid way to watch network content for free if you can get a good signal.

I get the criticism about production, plot, and dialogue decisions. I mean, I agree on quite a few of them. But a good chunk of the detractors are on the hate bandwagon because they just can’t stand women/minorities getting representation, and those dumbfucks need to GTFO. It’s Trek, for fuck’s sake. Yeah, Discovery is different, but I still dig the show.

What the fuck? There’s…what? I played this game for a short bit and thought it was great, but I figured I got the gist of the game and never felt the urge to resume. I was still outside, so I clearly stopped before it started getting good. Fuck. I’m going back in, thank you for posting this.

I think it’s a diarrhea face. Yeah, that’s a fun thing to say out loud.

Ah, yes, that’s correct, thank you. Your cpu/gpu must support it, or it won’t play.

Huh, there’s a term for that? TIL

Y’know, there’s a similar one used in the gemstone industry: “eye clean,” which only applies if the stone has no inclusions (artifacts) that can be seen with the naked eye. As you can imagine, it’s usually a pretty desirable trait, especially in diamonds. It doesn’t really matter if there’s random garbage floating around in it, it just has to be undetectable to our human eyes.

I was curious, so I looked it up. AV1 is more efficient than HEVC by like 28%! On the downside, encoding is horrifically slooow. It’ll be interesting to see how much hardware support AV1 gets in the coming years, because encoding time will have a dramatic effect on its adoption rate.

Interesting to note: AV1 can be played in Kodi, Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, VLC, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. So on the software side, it’s pretty widely supported.

Sorry, doesn’t look like it supports AV1:

Video Playback
Supported formats include HEVC, MV‑HEVC, H.264, HDR with Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG

My cat does this, only she faces the other way and hugs my paws with her feet. Best feeling in the world, our little pets help make it a happy home.

Kitty on my feet, in front of the tv!

Peanut Hamper! It’s like Kelly Kapoor as a robot. In space!

and your paint tray

Omg I’m dying, hahaha

I’m sensing high levels of Big Douchebag Energy

Also, most everyone missed OP’s gripe lol. No worries, brah! “Don’t dead open inside,” I hear ya.

Same here, it’s fun and has the spirit of the “striving for a better future” optimism that we all know and love. Great writing. We are living in a real golden age of Trek right now, what a time to be alive.

What OS & version are you using that automatically converts file types when you change the filename via the default file manager interface? I have never heard of this function before.

you can just manually change the extension to “.jpeg” or “.png” and Windows/Linux/Android file managers will automatically convert it

Thank you for the suggestion, but that’s not how it works. Changing a file’s extension doesn’t change the file type; it just changes the name.

Bah, no sign of “Save webP as PNG or JPEG” yet.

“I just happened to look in my emails and see the letter from the principal coming through saying that it was coming to Chimneyrock," Kincaid said. "I’m about to come unglued right now.”

I’m trying to picture what this looks like. She’s on the verge of throwing a temper tantrum over this, which is hilarious and to be honest really sad. These people need to grow up and get over themselves.

Also, why are only grandparents quoted in this article? Is there not enough conservative millennial rage in Tennessee to meet their quota?

This was a rollercoaster. Omfg Car Talk with Martok is back, but wait, what, you’re leaving Risa?? I see you will still be posting elsewhere so that’s good, but I hope everything is ok.
