Repo: A Genetic Opera

K so I helped build that transporter room. And I helped build the one we built inside it because this one didn’t look star-trek enough. Look closely at the Discovery’s transporter room.

Also fun story: when I was working on this (with hundreds of others) one job that took forever was the rectangular black tiles that make up the back wall. I spent days, I think it was close to 1500 of them, plywood laminated to some sort of firm sound foam, run through the table saw for each of the beveled edges… Carefully mounted to this bracket thing that the welding guys must have built. It was one of the earliest sets they wanted done, and they ended up using it for some early promo pictures of our hero…

One of the earliest released shots of Michael were in the transporter room, and dead centre behind her on the wall of a hundred tiles, is one super crooked tile. I can’t find the pic right now, but it’s obvious… I don’t know how nobody saw it during the shoot, or at least in post…

I facepalmed so hard. All our hard work and we looked like we hired a toddler last minute.

Ah yes. Makes sence I didn’t recall who he was fighting, just some simple tailor.

What about the shot that made it into the final cut where Worf and someone are fighting and he knocks a hole in the set and it’s just wood?

Oh I remember we had a big bag of rainbow cookies one time and they made you gay, and the only gay guy in school was eatting them but they were apparently really good so we figured out if you just ate an even number you’d end up back straight again.

Twas a simpler time.

Lol not when Charlotte dies or when the father raises the axe to kill the runt (Wilbur)?

That’s amazing. I loved him sucking back trash and then just free-floating on his own fatty body.

I had a real rat named Templeton after this great literary figure.

Oh what a ratly feast!

So I paid for nebula, but it seems totally vacant. I’m not mad, I’m happy to spend the money supporting small creators/any independent endeavour, but am I missing something??

I appreciate you sharing your views on this. You make some good points.

Everyone’s got such a huge hate boner for this bot, but I have no idea why.

In this case, by saying it doesn’t have info on the source it clues user into the fact that it’s not a very large or popular source, which is an extra bit of data readers can take with them even if they don’t do any more research beyond that.

If it was my bot, I would probably program it to do that, rather than do nothing in cases like this.

That’s already very common and should be shut down, but usually it applies to the particular service you are using… Not whatever this bullshit is…

This article explains what happened and where and what kind of bears…

Where did this happen, and what kind of bears?? Is it just me or is this article lacking…

Where is Yukon Canada? And is Ontario Canada inside it? Or was she visiting from our of town? This Grizzly attack was black bears?

You’re either right or pleasantly surprised. Win win

Oof that hurts.

I really, honestly hope you never make that kind of mistake, because while it would open your damn eyes, nobody deserves that.

“Haven’t killed them yet!” Would be an awfully terrible thing to have rolling around in your head in the days, weeks, months and years after…

Thanks, makes sence I thought it was an ACAB thing.

ACAB

Thanks, thought it was an ACAB type thing and didn’t use my thinker.

K I duckduckgo’d it and still don’t know what SPOG is. Help?

Simple example from yesterday: My stupid pixel 8 phone has a green line on the screen. I look up how to get warrantee and think “wow, at least Google knowing everything about me will be helpful in this case” and after a few misdirects to garbage online user forum to try and get me to solve this problem myself I get prompted with “which device is the problem?”

Google pixel 8

Some camera I had but was stolen, and google knows this because they refused to replace it even though I went through the bother to report it stolen to police because they claim they will send a new one

So I click the phone next page says “this phone?” -serial number

Click

That you bought on this date from us?

Click

Good news it’s under warranty! Would you like to start the process?

Thought I’d already started it but… Click

Please enter the serial number or IMwhatever code. Click here for instructions on where to find this on your phone.

… Click back 2 pages, copy and paste the # they told me

WRONG CODE

take the space that was at the front for some reason

Great! Here are the next steps…

Me: wtf is this garbage…

Agreed Farts, and the deflector dish is the mouth, so the booty version is more like a mask…
