    Kingdom

    Good to know! I just recently picked this back up. One episode left, will watch tonight.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Honestly, I think attempting to go there is folly. Risk of failure way too high. Orbital habitats is the way to go.

    Black Desert

    This is one of the many reasons I dislike ESO...

    Doctor Who

    Stay angry!

    The Magicians

    Honestly, I think the show has run its course and probably should conclude. But would prefer it to wrap up in a meaningful way.

    Doctor Who

    Has anyone on the production staff acknowledged they fucked up bigly?
  7. ShakyJake

    The Magicians

    With no series conclusion? God dammit, Syfy! Does this shit cable channel have ANYTHING worth watching now?

    Star Trek: Picard

    Has anyone seen that actor since? I don't believe I've seen him, Paris, or Chakotay in anything since Voyager.

    Star Trek: Picard

    It was from a shitty, completely forgettable episode.

    The Expanse

    I agree, that was a little weird. Perhaps it was handled better in the books.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Dude! It's only for emergencies. o_O

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I just started playing this with some friends. Non-humanoid stuff -- mounts, dragons, etc., and the environment -- looks fairly decent. But the character models aren't very good at all. Really difficult to get into the game when you can't stand the way your character looks and animates...

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

    The person doing the review should be reviewing the code for bugs, performance issues, and coding standards. They should not, however, be reviewing it based on how they would have done it.

    Health Problems

    I think I need something like this. I don't know if it's 'brain fog' or what but I rarely feel mentally sharp.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Who is the actress playing the Vulcan? She looks awfully damn familiar.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.
  24. ShakyJake

    Star Trek: Picard

    More than 1 would also be correct.
  25. ShakyJake

    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.
  29. ShakyJake

    Star Trek: Picard

    That is one hell of a supernova.
  30. ShakyJake

    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?
  33. 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!

    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.
