  1. to the first bit, i was not aware that those were not supposed to be checked off, because every time I close and reopen the program, they check. as the the glitch, I clicked "add available updates" and that's when it went nuts. seems to have gotten over it though, because that pop up didn't even show when I tried to make it do it again.
  2. Okay, I don't know if I pushed a wrong button or something, but after I upgraded to the current build of this, everytime I try to do anything, Ckan wants to pull all my mods. everything is labeled "remove" with reason "auto-installed, depending modules removed", and no matter what I do, it keeps coming back that way. Also, the darn thing got stuck in a loop. It was so in a panic about an incompatible dependency ("B9PartSwitch" for "Near Future Solar"), that right after I hit dismiss on the error pop up, it pops right back up again, locking out everything and preventing me from unchecking the box. I had to kill the process.
  3. would seem to me the crux of the argument is whether her wife cut McClain out of the account in some way, shape or form.
  4. Over the past few weeks (haven’t had a lot of time due to things going up a creek without a paddle at work), I’ve constructed a modular station in orbit of the Mun and have begun making shuttle flights between the station and the mun’s surface with a reusable lunar module.
  5. This is the same complaining I’ve seen all over the the internet when it comes to players dealing with the publishers. If you want to know why the EULA is so wide reaching and especially towards modding... remember who you’re dealing with and then these two words: Hot Coffee....

  7. It's a meta-referncial paradox. nx01 is named after the OV101 which is named after 1701 which in universe was probably named after the NX01. though really the series got its name because the writers were tired of everything being "Star Trek Colon Something" and wanted to go a different angle, a nessesity on a long running show if you ask me*. They said to themselves "What word will envoke the idea of Star Trek without actually saying it?" Hence why the show was just titled "Enterprise" for two seasons. * awesome example I read this week about is the 2018 "Super Sentai" (Japanese parent show of Power Rangers now in its 41st season) which will be essentially two different shows running simultaneously with two different teams, one made up of police (Police Sentai Patoranger) and one made of "gentlemen thieves" (Kiato Sentai Lupinranger) taking turns being featured each week until the two are forced to merge after a set amount of time.
  8. And I really don't think that's fair to the Klingons to shoehorn them into such a role. You want a Far right allegory in Trek, you call the Cardasians. The thing about the Klingons many overlook, and most alien species, is how much of their behavior falls under what TV tropes calls "Blue and Orange Morailty". They felt threatened by the "Federation" because from their viewpoint, it's a "Human Empire" because democratic, republican methods of government are almost alien to them. (To offer a real world comparison, the British monarchists who say a republic was tried once, under Cromwell and failed, so the monarchy should stay) The Klingons are afraid of the "multiculturalism" next door because to them, to their understanding, it's a lie. a species that evolved in a different environment under different circumstances is not automatically going to develop the same kind of moral code. And that code is not automatically wrong. Take the character Nessus from the "Known Space" books by Larry Nevin. Humanity's name for his race is "Pierson's Puppeteers" due to the similarities to a kids TV show puppet. Every single Puppeteer any other species has ever met is insane. Their evolution as herd animals, plus a "science experiment" where they concluded they don't have souls, has made them extremely focused on self preservation to the point normal Puppeteers refuse to leave their homeworld. Humans consider them cowards. For the Puppeteers, this is just common sense. going back to the Klingons, look at Star Trek 3 and 4. Note how they always refer to Genesis using weapons terms, notably "Genesis Torpedo", where as the federation characters (hell, even Khan and company) are more likely to just call it a "device", and view it as a tool. Christopher Loyd's character Kurge wanted the device out of a desire to enforce parity with the Federation, not use it himself, not understanding that while it could be used as a weapon, that's not their intention. They watch how they talk and act like it's existence is the greater crime than destroying U.S.S. Grissom , killing David Marcus in cold blood or attacking Enterprise
  9. Except we were told this show is set in the Prime Timeline, as in the original where all the TV shows have been set.
  10. The Klingons were "redesigned" but the old look is still canon thanks to Enterprise and the augment virus. Here, the creators have gone on record that all Klingons will in the show will look like the ones in episode one. Simple continuity issue this causes; Where is their hair? The sword of Kahless was supposed to have forged from Kahless' hair. So ether A, the producers have got themselves in a plot hole or b, they've written off one the most sacred relics of the Klingons and a great DS9 Worf focus episode. there is no logical reason to put the "Walker"-Class bridge module under the saucer. It provides no benefit compared to its usual position. Actually there is one benefit to bridge being higher. Physical evacuation to the rest of the ship would be easier if everyone was going down vs up. the show is called Discovery for the same reason DS9, Voyager and Enterprise have their names; the USS Discovery NCC-1031. I wasn't just referring to the vacuum of space so much as all the danger inherent to spaceflight. Radiation, impact damage, new diseases, hostile life forms. Saru is established as an over cautious worry wart, why would he want to live and work in such conditions.
  11. ...You side with Ancient Egypt!?! Someone alert Linkara! (cookie if you get the joke)
  12. Unfortunately she's got company from actor Jason Isaacs, best known as Luicus Malfoy, as the captain of the USS Discovery.
  13. General complaints: what did they do to the Klingons? We've grown to adore the Klingon aesthetic that's devolved over the past 50 years. Those look more like Remans. Why are they giving Spock an adopted sister? Then again he's already got a brother he never mentioned. Par for the Course I guess. Why is the Shenzhou's saucer designed upside down? Why is the bridge on the bottom!?! Why is the show called Discovery when the only episode you air on US broadcast TV doesn't feature the ship? Why did they including a character who's "evolved to sense the coming of death" and put him on a Starship? Space is constantly trying to kill you! his little "spidersense" should be going haywire. One episode in and he's spent about as much time B-wording and moaning as McCoy.
  14. I'll just leave this here to explain TL:DW I'm an absloute nut for a long running Japanese super hero show
  15. I've got this Indian sounding guy who keeps calling me with different phone numbers, telling me he's from a Microsoft certified partner and that there's a problem with my windows computer. His little scam runs head long into one tiny problem... I'm a computer sales associate/repair technician. I sell and fix PCs at Staples for a living. This leaves me with a few advantages over his normal mark: #1 If there was something seriously wrong with my PC, I'D KNOW IT! #2 I know Microsoft and Apple's customer service polices inside out. I know they would never (willingly) pass out my personal information to anyone. So I let him praddle on and then threaten to call the cops and hang up.
  16. I work at an office supply store and it's back to school time. Imagine Black Friday every day for three weeks... let's just say the entitlement is strong with some of these folks.
  17. I am really getting sick and tired of these flat earth and "space flight is bogus" idiots descending on every video about space flight. One idiot on a crs12 insisted that a rockets would not fly in "negitive pressure" because it needs a "third mass" to push against. In his mind, the air. When Newton's third law was mentioned, he said, no joke, that we'd "misinterpreted it." it's a !%#£<¥> law of the universe, it's not open for interpretation! Sweet God almighty... They're like metal heads who invade the comments sections on pop and rap music videos to complain about why those forms of music are more popular. Without a doubt one will pop up.
  18. CRS-8 was the first barge landing. It was also the first to fly again.
  19. Seen worse. The official forums for Star Trek Online were set to censor "hell", right around the time they introduced a prize box themed to the Voyager two parter "Year of Hell".... to which I had to ask the community staffers "How the hell can we talk about the 'Year of Hell' if we can't say "hell?" anyway, as to the pricing of the DLC, what I consider fair isn't automatically going to the same as someone else, so let's avoid fighting about it when the time comes.
  20. By the sounds of this we're to the point of "forget your KSP install, call the friggen cops!" the person caliously damaged your computer, they should be paying for it!
  21. While I saw STS 114 launch (not at the cape itself, but from my hotel at Disney World) probably the most interesting thing I did was watch Enterprise fly around New York. I had gone to a NYC area airplane fan group site and they had a pleminary flight plan for OV-101's laps around the city. We went to a specific spot we knew of that was wide and unobstructed, a Home Depot parking lot. We were expecting it to swing past LaGuardia Airport over Flushing Bay and we'd get some nice shots from the side. No, instead we hear a yell and suddenly see it not only behind us, but heading right towards us! and then a few weeks later I watched them carry the shuttle up the Hudson on a barge. My late father, on the other hand... after retiring from the NYPD, he became a security supervisor at the Empire State Building and when a VIP came to visit, gave them the grand tour. One of these guests... Astronaut Mark Kelly (at least I think it was Mark. 99.5% he said his guest was the one married to the Congresswoman...) He sent us some pins as a thank you. One of a mssion patch for a flight he went on, one for one of Scott's flights and a generic shuttle pin. (I had to look up which twin was which to type this. I suck at dealing twins. I went to school with a pair of twins for 9 years and I could never remember which was which.)
  22. straped for cash I took about ten tourists to orbit with Jeb. All at once. The sheer weight of the monstrosity of two hitchhikers and a mark 1.2 meant the speed was extremely high even from orbit with re-entry burn. The parachutes didn't deploy until about 500M above the water.
