Yeh. I think part of it is it's just hard to match season 4. I think the series' single funniest dialogue comes from "Trusted Sources".
Ransom: "How much do bench?"
Magistrate: "We don't do it for the numbers. We do it to quiet the voices in our heads!"
Ransom: "Cool. I bench 25."
As a side effect, the i386 theme is fixed now.

3 days. Wow!
But I guess we just have to have faith… faith of the heaaaaaaaa-art.
I’ve never used MATE - almost always been an XFCE guy since I got serious about Linux.
It was sort of an accident. After a while of using Ubuntu in a VM (including a weird IceWM stint), I tried installing Debian on an old laptop I had sitting around. The first attempt, where I tried KDE, something went wrong with the Network Manager install. At this point, I can never know what went wrong - it’s been years All I know is that I chose XFCE on the second attempt and didn’t have the problems, likely due to coincidence. Still, I stick with XFCE out of satisfaction.
On another note, it looks like federation should be sped up in this commit, which is in the recently-released version 0.19.6 (and 0.19.7, which has come out since). I would think lemmy.world would have to upgraded as well, though.
Thanks for letting me know. 🖖
I mean YaST is kind of snazzy, though not enough to pull me from Debian for the moment.
Phasers or Bat’leths (Mek’leths are fine as well)?
We could also do a round of Chula, a solar sail race, ambo-jitsu, springball, darts, etcetera.
Burnham falls afoul of the “no promoted mains” rule, unfortunately.
I find it kind of sad they haven't done anything in the 2290s-2350s era. I think it would be fun to have a series with April in monster maroon coming up on his second retirement in the late 2310s or early 2320s.
The IDW miniseries Picard's Academy was set in this era (aligning with previous canon of when Picard went to the Academy). I enjoyed it (checked it out from my local library), though probably half just because of Spock's outfit, honestly.
EDIT: April probably wouldn't be the primary focus. It would probably focus on a diplomatic ship or maybe even the Academy or civilians. It probably couldn't be too action-based, as we don't want to undermine this being one of the most peaceful eras in Federation history - I worry to do anything interesting, you'd have to pull Disco-style shenanigans again. No matter one's opinion on Disco, I feel like it would be kind of obnoxious to do another "this secretly happened and no one knows about it" series.

What are your guy's thoughts on the theme for Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973)?
I feel like:

I saw the original (grayed out) part around Nicoles's death and couldn't take take it seriously. Therefore, here is my addition to make all of this more accurate.
It is believed he entered an anomaly with a shuttle in mid-2385. Upon returning, he said, "I guess I basically missed the late 80's."
Seriously, though, it surprises me how naturally Starfleet this guy sounds, especially after knowing him from another role. It just feels like he could be edited in to be some Ensign at Conn on a TNG-era bridge and no one would notice.
A severe temporal anomaly during a transporter accident lead to this abomination, Kai Winkomaskix, child of Mogh.
The transport officer on duty almost phasered them on site. During the manhunt, Gul Dukat got the closest he ever did to getting a statue on Bajor.
Luckily, temporal investigations got everything sorted out.
Kai Winkomaskix, child of Mogh was a spiritual successor to Needole. https://startrek.website/post/12514221
Edit: I added a GIF version as the thumbnail. Here's the apng version below.
If it’s not moving, wait 30-ish seconds and see if it loads.
In LD 1x08 Veritas, Rutherford is rotating some "EPS Capacitors" (These seem to have little mention outside this episode) to prevent them from overheating.
Before I ask my questions, I first want to establish what makes sense to me here. Although not previously mentioned, like electrical capacitors, EPS Capacitors probably help to "smooth out" plasma flow. As these are high-power systems, I am sure there is risk of overheating in these capacitors that is not as present in current electrical capacitors, which usually don't have a rotating mechanism.
Now, for the questions:
For the first: My first theory is these are variable capacitors. Assuming the mechanics work similarly to electrical capacitors, Rutherford could be changing the capacitance of each capacitor to rotate the load. This doesn't feel completely right, though (for instance, how to keep the array within specification).
A better theory is that although its function is analogous to an electrical capacitor, the physical mechanics used behind it are different, and somehow wear in the internal materials is uneven unless rotated, somewhat like tires.
For the second: We practically mastered rotating crap with electricity in THE 20TH CENTURY and have only gotten better since. I don't understand why Starfleet couldn't just give each capacitor a servo motor running off an EPS tap that does the randomization automatically, or at the very least mount them all on a belt. Heck, if heat is the problem, why not a liquid cooling loop? The worst that can happen is an ensign has to go get a mop.
It could be possible that maybe it was kept there as a task to bully ensigns/make officers feel useful, but I feel that kind of thinking wouldn't necessarily exist at the Cali class drawing board. It could be possible that somehow the magnets in the motor interfere with the EPS containment field, but I feel like that would mean a lot more crap would have to be banned on board if the EPS conduits were that vulnerable.
Ultimately, I really can't make full sense of this second point, and would love insights on this and my first question.
Thank you! My crappy TMBG meme is now showing up in my TMBG community!
