    Transformers: War for Cybertron

    I wouldn't mind a re-telling of the original Transformers TV show, but targeted towards adults.

    Star Trek: Picard

    I love how random passengers can deactivate the EMH while someone is fucking dying in the sickbay.

    Yeah, I've tried several variations. Nothing works. I thought i may have missed a common approach used for this stuff. I guess I'll just have to ask for an explicit example from them.

    Hah. Fortunately I'm not working that low level. Communication is done via a TCP/IP connection and the protocol is XML-based. Right, that was my interpretation but it ain't having it.

    Since some of you work with firmware for embedded systems, maybe you can shed some light on this problem I have. For some background: our company has a data manager that can communicate with a variety of devices from different manufacturers. As one of the developers, I am implementing support...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Yeah, I tried to get him to play GW2 instead since its free, but wouldn't hear of it. He's the type that won't do anything unless its his idea first.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    What is the general consensus here on this game? I have a friend begging me to play it, but every time I watch him play via a stream it looks kinda 'bleh' to me.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Fucking flabbergasted that neither of them have watched The Expanse.

    Star Trek: Picard

    More than 1 would also be correct.

    Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

    Yeah, I would almost rather see movies of their secondary characters. I'd love to see a Booster Gold movie.

    Star Trek: Picard

    It's clear the writers don't know shit about astronomy. What's-her-face said, "There are over 3 billion stars in the galaxy". No, there are over 300 billion stars.

    The Outsider

    That's what I figured, but the way it all played out was a bit strange -- they were all out looking for Holly and then poof, she's back at the hotel (or wherever) talking to the gang. I need to re-watch the events at the gas station, but did she do a key switch-a-roo before exiting the vehicle?

    The Expanse

    The series is even more enjoyable when you watch episodes back-to-back.

    Star Trek: Picard

    That is one hell of a supernova.

    The Outsider

    So did Holly have the keys or not? Ending scene was confusing.

    Investing General Discussion

    So what's a good sector for one to dump their money in? Not looking for short term gains but not necessarily very long term either. Essentially what I'm doing is, instead of keeping a large sum of money in a bank savings account, I'm placing it in an ETF. So it needs to be something I can...

    The Expanse

    SWEET. So end of year release?
  18. ShakyJake

    The Outsider

    Not sure what they can do for there to be an "oh shit" moment. We know that the thing killing these kids is supernatural. So now it's all about how are they going to kill it.

    The Righteous Gemstones

    I had never heard of Danny McBride before Gemstones. Enjoyed it so much I went back and watched Vice Principals. GREAT show. I am officially a Danny McBride fanboy.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Is there a free trial for this game?

    Investing General Discussion

    Story of my life: if I were to sell it and move it to somewhere else, then THAT would begin to drop. That's why I haven't bothered to sell because from past experience I'm screwed either way. I could move it to the VTI (Total Stock Market) fund but hate to jinx that!
  22. ShakyJake

    Investing General Discussion

    Not sure. I'm just looking at the "Total Gain/Loss" under the "Unrealized gains & losses" area.

    Many years ago I bought shares in a Vanguard energy index fund (VDE) when the energy market was at a high. As many might know, it crashed hard a few years ago and I've been waiting forever for it to climb back up. I'm currently underwater by $1200 bucks off an investment of ~$5800. I'm...

    Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

    And they're still shit, unfortunately. Although, I hear, Legends is fairly decent.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Which itself was rather stupid. They all paused, look at Picard expecting him to say it. But how would any of them know that was "a thing'?

    Star Trek: Picard

    This guy cracks me up and hits the damn nail on the head with his reviews.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I think its too late if you already accepted the offer. Not saying you can't back out of course, but once you've let your current employer know you would jump ship it's only a matter of time where they start looking for your replacement.

    Star Trek: Picard

    To me it seems like the writers are purposely trying to be anti-TNG. Calling androids "synths". Jean Luc, "JL".

    Why on earth did you start at the end?

    McMillion$ (HBO Documentary)

    TMDB has the network information. No reason the OP can't include it. I put in a request in the suggestions/improvements area.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Right, why can't their origins be completely alien? Lame. 2/10 would not read.

    Dragonlance Series

    Yeah, I loved this series when I read them as a teenager. I always thought it was a shame that there's never been a decent film or TV adaptation.

    The Magicians

    What did I miss? I thought Elliot and Margo were stuck 300 years in the future and decided to bring Josh and Fen to them rather than try and go back. But now, poof, they're back to the present?

    Star Trek: Picard

    The use of current day expressions is really god damn annoying. "Hell yeah", "fuck", "dude", etc. is really breaking any immersion that might exist. These writers are terrible.

    It's alright. 6/10 on average.

    You're right, and we do where appropriate. In fact I recently added the Moq framework to aid in unit tests. Again, not the topic of my question though.

    That's not possible. Unless you're not coding.
