Malcolm hates everything, lol. Except pineapple and when T’Pol calls him “stinky”.

I always do some level of RAID. If for no other reason, I’m not out of commission if a disk fails. When you’re working with multi TB, restoring from a backup can take a while. If rapid recovery from a disk failure is not a high priority for you, then you could probably do without RAID.

Either way, make sure you test your backups occasionally.

Another way to put it: With RAID, a disk failure is like your Check Engine light coming on. You can still drive, but you should address the problem as soon as you can. Without RAID, it’s like your engine has seized up and you have to tow it for repair and are without your car until it’s fixed.

That Odo definitely had beard energy for sure.

For some reason, I was thinking he had a beard in “Children of Time” when he mellowed out and aged into Ed Begley Jr. Odo, but apparently he didn’t.

I mean, I kind of agree with that?

I guess it depends who’s doing the podcast and whether they’re an authoritative subject matter expert on the topic. Unless the podcast cites references on its page? (I’m not a big podcast guy lol).

Do you hear that? I think a gormagander is in trouble. I must go now.

If the answer to “what have you tried?” is anything non-specific, I always take that to mean “nothing.” lol

They’re in front of the warp core with the camera looking down from the top of it. The rest of the crew is asleep to protect them from a spacial anomaly, and Phlox needs to start the warp reactor to get them out of it (the anomaly expanded while they were transiting it). I think the camera angle is that way to make the warp core more intimidating.

Thanks for the additional insight.

A coffee maker, I’d just return. But a dishwasher, refrigerator, oven, etc would be a huge hassle I’d want to avoid. I think my best bet, like you said, is to just look for one that has absolutely no mention of w-fi or “smart”.

I’m not a data scientist but I support a handful. They all use Python for the most part, but a few of them (still?) use R. Then there’s the small group that just throws everything into Excel 🤷🏻‍♂️

Not gonna lie, but I didn’t hate that nod. It’s actually one of the few things about the finale I liked.

GIF is on theme, too

I so want one of the newer series to revisit that.

What we know about it:

• It’s at least ~690 years old (c.a. 2151) since one of the captives is a Vaadwaur (if not that, then it implies some of the Vaadwaur were active in the Alpha quadrant while the rest were in stasis on their home planet back in the DQ)
• It rebuilt itself after Archer had it destroyed
• Disregarding the fact production re-used an Exocomp prop, the way it operates by replicating parts/tools on demand at the end of its manipulators is strikingly similar to how Exocomps operate.

Did Dr. Farallon come into contact with the station, and/or could the Exocomps be descended from it? Or, perhaps, did the Tyrans create it, and all that tech originates with them?

Yeah, they’ve got some 'splaining to do because I want to know more about that station.

It may have its flaws, but I feel that ENT is often overlooked in the meme circuit, and I"m doing my part lol

Dead Stop is definitely one of its top-shelf episodes, too.

I knew he came on in S3 but I thought he wrote more than few episodes in that one (IMDB only lists 5 which is way less than I thought). Coincidentally, the episode I’m watching now, “Chosen Realm” was one he wrote. It’s…not subtle lol.

Two words: Manny Coto

Edit: Was researching something else and came across this article and interview with John Billingsly which is pretty appropriate for this thread. Also, I’d never read that, or any interview with him before, but Billingsly sounds like a great guy.

With just a little dash of Janeway too.

Yeah, that’s also one of the things I enjoyed about ENT. The Vulcans we’ve known up until then have been this high and mighty, enlightened society. In ENT, they initially seem the same, and the Vulcans certainly see themselves that way, but the more their culture at the time is revealed, the more we see they’re still very closed-minded and regressive.

Toward the end, they have an enlightenment period and start becoming the Vulcans we’re familiar with.

Absolutely. One of the reasons I like it so much. That, and seeing all the Trek tech we take for granted being new and unreliable.

I’ll check it out, probably soon-ish. Thanks. Winter is when I typically watch through new (to me anyway) shows since I don’t like outside when it’s all L-class lol.
