FE2 is my 35mm camera of choice, good taste! Though to be honest, i rarely shoot film and when I do it’s usually 645 on my Mamiya

I’ve seen it reported that if you count plea bargains as convictions, which is much closer to how Japan calculates conviction rate, that the US conviction rate is essentially the same as the Japanese one.

SHOUTING_SNAKE_CASE aka SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE is the best case for all use cases, because it gives you a chance to use its wonderful names.

I’ve been sent dick pics before, but being a lesbian they were very unwelcome. If someone sent me a painting of their boobs, though, yep—seems like that would work.

A few months ago I bought some old (quite good) speakers. My first step, of course, was to use a calibrated mic to measure them. One measured way better than the other. Took them apart and realized at some point someone had connected wires incorrectly on one of the tweeters causing it to be out of phase. Do you know what this means?

I REVERSED THE POLARITY AND FIXED MY AUDIO PROBLEM. That day I became a Starfleet Engineer.

TNG aired during my childhood, and I did watch it, but the occasional TOS marathon is really what got me into it.

Only the Gorn are truly immune, and this makes me think Godzilla is just the final form of the gorn.

Sisko says “Maybe it was Bell”, I like to think it was, that Bell had the hacking skills to do it himself.

The images recorded in history changed from the real bell’s face to sisko’s which to me says it wasn’t a predestination paradox, the real bell did it the first time, and sisko did it the second.

Yep, John Hersey’s “Hiroshima” scarred me for life (as well it should have) when I read it in 5th grade, especially as a Japanese American whose grandfathers fought on each side of the war.

Sometimes it’s “I want to sleep with you, but I don’t want to want to sleep with you.”

There have been times in my life when I would have fled, and times in my life when I would have fought. Never for the idea of country, but certainly for the people in the country. I’m a middle aged American woman and having no family anymore, I have considered fighting for the families of Ukraine. Though not too seriously and I don’t even know if they’d take me

True for most of the franchise, but the ferengi are eventually. Also, I’m not sure if the federation prevents member worlds from continuing to have their own internal economies that could be market based. My guess is that they don’t and the ferengi will continue to use money for a long time.

They were the reason I stopped watching when it first aired. I’m glad society is catching on.

“As sure as I am that he fucks bats, I know he doesn’t go down on women” - DC, probably

Seriously, I know the creators had to fight for the commissioner Gordon storyline, but how did they not allow this given all the other stuff in that show?? Show runners were spot on with the selfish lover comment.

Now I want to suggest this trilogy: a private little war, the last outpost, “mugato, gumato”

One game breaking bug on a playthrough is still pretty bad.

I wanna say “the corbomite maneuver” from TOS. I think it’s one of the best episodes of all, but most people don’t so i think it’s okay from the its all downhill perspective. It has everything: Kirk mentoring, an extremely powerful alien of the week, solving problems without fighting, but still tense situations. Such a great and representative episode.

From TNG maybe First Contact. Good intro episode as you get intro to the federation through the eyes of an alien of the week. The alien-chasing woman may be not a good thing to show depending on the person you’re showing it to, though.

For DS9, in the hands of the prophets. Doesn’t require much backstory unlike a lot of DS9, great ep, classic ethical debate/social commentary, and the majesty that is Vedek Winn.

For Voyager maybe distant origin. Great ep, doesn’t need much backstory, also great commentary on society

I’m a woman and haven’t posted a single thing from any vacation I’ve taken in years, maybe even a decade now.

I know they said golf announcer, but in my head I only hear old-timey radio announcer, which is also amazing.
