I agree with a lot of what you’re saying but I do think you need to give Discovery a few more episodes to find its footing. It would be nice if that wasn’t the case but it seems like it is.

And I just saw the second episode of Orville last night and I think I mostly agree with what you have to say about that as well.

I don’t really laugh at much of the attempt at slapstick humor in the Orville , but I do find the overall pacing and theme of the episodes to be more of the track I like than Discovery has been.

Name one person on here who is a Disney apologist, because I don’t know of any.

Calling Aalderan out isn’t gonna get a response from him. He’ll just leave for a day or two and then come back and say the same dumb things. That such trolls are allowed freedom here while Warb’s in lockup is pretty aggravating…

Anyways, I doubt we’re ever getting the OUT. But Kathy Whoever’s comments were about the SE not the OUT.

Kathy Whoever’s comments were a typical confused response to a nerd’s question. she was barely engaged in that conversation. I have no idea why it keeps being brought up. it has no bearing one way or the other.

JEDIT: added a missing ‘why’

OK thanks troops, I’ve made a few edits and amended the image.

looks amazing.

this might be a dumb question, but what are the two white circles behind the storm troopers in the image on the spline (and at the top right on back cover)?

Yep Silverwook’s right, they accidentally sort of became a signature of the Puggo series:

cool. i never burned or printed covers for these discs, so i guess i never picked up on that!
(but now that I am so close to having all three, i must just have to change that)

Well, the night shift guy I’m supposed to be in the final stages of training - who is a friend of a friend that I got in here because we desperately needed someone for night shift and he was the only one to respond to my Facebook post - is now 2 and a half hours late. Tried texting him twice and called him 5 times now, and no answer.

Plus the first shift guy is going on indefinite medical leave starting Monday, and the girl who’s on essentially a floater shift (between first and second) already covered nights for 2 months before we got this guy in, so if he’s fired (which he probably will be) after tonight, that means there’s only 2 of us in the lab now.

Which means I’m going to be stuck on 12-hour night shifts 5-6 days a week for at least a month now, and that’s assuming we manage to hire someone for third shift, like, tomorrow. And that they work out.

I’m so very fucking over this shit. I want to get back to my normal noon-10 shift, which was supposed to happen on Monday, but now god fucking knows when or if that will ever happen.

I guess at least I’ll be able to save a lot more money while I have no time to do anything but work and sleep for the foreseeable future.

That really sucks man…

Yep.

Also, had a funny feeling about an hour ago so I looked up the county jail inmate records (he’s in a drug court program and NA and has to have a court hearing every Thursday) and guess what? He’s in jail until Sunday.

Guess that explains both the no call and the no show.

damn. i can certainly relate to the frustration of not having enough people (good people) as coworkers, but i have never had that kind of impact from it on me personally. hope something gets figured out soon!

Star Wars Despecialized Editions - Custom Bluray Set (Released)

Does anyone here know why njvc’s Blu-ray files have been posted to MySpleen? I mean it sounds like a total pain in the butt in even trying to access the site, especially with all of the people coming here and asking for invites. Wouldn’t it be simpler if the files were uploaded to a more public site where everything isn’t invite only?

it would be easier.
if you read a few pages back (maybe more), njvc pulled his publicly posted files after all the crap that was being sold on ebay etc. I don’t envy him, feeling like your work work has turned into something that could get the wrong kind of attention is not a fun feeling.

In all fairness, the only Trek she enjoys is/are the new movies.

Which is odd, because my wife loved that it reminded her a lot of the Kelvin movies. However, she does have love for other Trek (VGR especially), so she has some other investment in the whole Federation/Klingon culture.

yeah, i am pretty sure if the plot wasn’t Klingon centric she would have not wandered off. to be honest, i also disliked the Klingon centricness of it (but liked Voyager). good thing that my wife and I have some things in common 😃
