I’m beautiful and tough like a diamond…or beef jerky in a ball gown.
That’s basically me. I watched it, though, lol, but mostly because the premiere is far enough away that I probably won’t remember half of it come July anyway. Otherwise, I’m pretty rigorous about avoiding spoilers of any sort and is why I wasn’t really around when everyone was talking about Academy when it was airing (have since watched and enjoyed it though).
Nice. Only omitted that one because I hadn’t heard of it. I like to switch apps every so often so will check it out.
Any reason why you can’t just use one of the many, many web-based apps and “install” it? Photon, Alexandrite, Tesseract, Voyager, and many more all let you “install” them to your home screen. They run in your phone’s web browser but don’t have the address bar and work full screen and basically look/act like native apps.
In the novels, that’s what the Borg finally do, and surprise, it works.
I was wondering what Iola Boylan was up to in her later years.
Iola Lucille Boylen is the neighbor and best friend of Thelma Harper in the syndicated version of “Mama’s Family”
Iola is notorious for her “handicrafts” made from common objects like dryer lint which she foists on people, especially the Harpers. Iola’s creations are usually considered tacky and needless; she routinely gives the Harpers gifts such as a “toilet paper cozy” or knitted napkin cozy.
It’s been a minute but I don’t think so; just “android body”. I just called it a golem since that’s what they’re called in PIC when they’re meant to accept a human mind upload.
In the novelverse, what became Data was originally planned to be Soong’s body via brain uploading. So the meme kinda still works.
And in a “comes full circle” series of events, what was Soong’s current android “golem” body became Data’s which resurrected him after the events of Nemesis.
The “Cold Equations” trilogy is really quite good.
Adding this to my reaction image collection.
Wait, what? Unless that’s an allegory for AI or something, that actually sounds pretty nice.
Back in the day, I worked in the corporate office for a retail clothing chain (IT department, so not down in the weeds), and I can’t speak for H&M like you gave as an example, but for the one I worked for we didn’t design anything.
We had a department of people called “buyers” who would work with various clothing vendors directly and wholesale bulk-purchase items for the stores. Their job was to basically figure out what was in style, what would sell, in which of our markets it would sell, and order them to stock in the stores. Not all stores carried the same styles/designs/whatever. e.g. We stocked college sports apparel only in markets near those colleges, our stores in warmer regions rarely carried winter apparel that we normally stocked in colder regions, etc.
Cool, thanks!
As a con virgin, any highlights for what it’s like? Do you just walk around the venue and chat with other fans? Stand in line for autographs/photo ops? Shop for merch? Do the guests do talks or Q&As?
Like I said in my other comment, I’m seriously considering attending this one since it’s close and I really would like to add and cross this off my bucket list. Also, like you said, I don’t particularly care for massive events or extended travel to Vegas so a regional one that’s also pretty close to me sounds perfect.
They have already started announcing celebrity guests as well. Today Creation revealed the headliners will include Kate Mulgrew (VOY/PRO), Jeri Ryan (VOY/PIC), Terry Farrell (DS9), Nana Visitor (DS9), Denise Crosby (TNG), and Melissa Navia (SNW). Additional guests for the event will be announced each day this week.
I’ve never been to a convention, but Philadelphia is (relatively speaking) right next door to me. I’m seriously considering saving some vacation time and making this my first because I really want to go to one and they’ve got the most powerful women in the galaxy lined up.
Was it because Blanche is a southern belle and said “you all” instead of “y’all”? Cause I had to grumble about that at first.
And Linux, but agreed lol.
Yeah. Lenin, Marx, Betty White, and the Golden Girls.
Sorry not sorry. Had to meme that
Not enough songs out there for the people who know they were the problem.
Also that.
Hah, thanks. The original discussion thread I linked in my first reply was full of differing opinions on that topic but everyone was approaching it from a “this works for me but you do you” angle. I’m disappointed and apologize the same topic under this post was so inflammatory. That wasn’t even what the post was about.
Edit: Oh, I replied to this from the inbox but am now realizing this was addressed to the room :facepalm:.
“Computers” but same.
