I thought Wilson was lost at sea. Was he found too?

Yeah. After using it for me than a decade it was about time 😂 I like getting paid for my software too so why not give it back. I had to pay much more money for a lot shittier software in my live. Winrar at least just works.

ENT rarely attempted the classic “Star Trek ethical conundrum” episode but the few we have are some real bangers.

Grayox OP ,

it was refreshing among all the episodes of Tripp and Malcolm trying to get laid.

BottleOfAlkahest , to risa in Literally heartbroken over here

So I’m not really a star trek fan but can someone explain to me what the fuck the lesson was supposed to be other than Archer is an irredeemable monster? Cause that episode seems to be trying to say something and it doesn’t seem to be that all people should have basic worth/rights.

Grayox OP ,
@Grayox@lemmy.ml avatar

I feel like it just showed that those responsible for the wrong thing happening often lash out at those that were trying to do the right thing, I wouldn’t have come to this conclusion if it wasn’t for Tripp telling Archer that it wasn’t his fault while he was chewing him out, and Archer didn’t even acknowledge him saying it because he knew that it was his fault, not Tripp’s, that Charles was dead.

BradleyUffner ,

My fiance and I just finished watching all of Enterprise and were discussing this too. We got the impression that the writers and producers really wanted us to like Archer and think he was a good guy, but we both decided that he’s really just an inconsistent asshole.

People like to say that Kirk is the reason that the rules are so much more strict for Picard.

But Archer is the reason that they’re so much more strict for Kirk.

Man, I love the bit where Archer is already force feeding Trip a plate of shit for giving a person kept in sexual slavery a glimpse of a better life, and to add insult to injury he’s all, “And on top of it all, now the Vissian couple will have to wait to be able to conceive.”

Archer is the worst captain.

StillPaisleyCat ,
@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website avatar

Archer being the worst captain, while being on track to becoming a founder of the Federation etc. was what made me bail on the show for a long time.

I really came to loathe Archer, and writing T’Pol as having respect for him really damaged her character over time.

Grayox OP ,
@Grayox@lemmy.ml avatar

I think thats because he is making logical decisions, we hate that makes her respect him I’m still at the tail end of season 2, so I’m ready for my disdain to grow. Plus he is a nepo baby.

Magnetar ,

logical decisions

T’Pol: Captain, we found a new M-class planet. We should proceed very carefully step by step, let’s start with scanning -

Archer: Boooring! Who’s coming with me camping on the unexplored world? Leave the protective equipment, bring beer! Last one on the shuttle is a stupid vulcan!

Grayox OP ,
@Grayox@lemmy.ml avatar

Lmao forgot about that episode, so fucking true.

xkforce ,

What the writers were trying to convey is that meddling with other cultures can have serious negative consequences (the person trip tried to help killed themselves, relations with starfleet were very negatively affected etc) but it doesnt come off that way. It comes off as shitty society sexually enslaves people after brainwashing them to think thats normal and once they find out that it isnt for other cultures, they want no part in it. So Archer comes off as an uncaring dick for scolding trip for trying to do what he thought was right. And beyond that, it makes trek’s non-interference policy look like a really bad idea when applied with no regard to the context. Which has been a longstanding issue in the series. i.e the prime directive is problematic.

Why would I waste money on winRAR when 7zip is open source and free right there?

kattenluik ,

It’s really sad honestly, there’s so many alternatives to WinRAR and no one dares uses them.

Grandwolf319 ,

Because winrar let’s you use it for free, it’s basically the best tactic to let your software stick.

c_ezra_m ,

If you don’t pay for WinRAR, the only thing it will do is show up notices to buy it. This is intentional, meant to prevent piracy. So it’s more like a donation rather than a purchase.

kattenluik ,

Every other worthwhile one is also free and does not prompt you for purchase.

Jakeroxs ,

7zip is just so far superior in every way, it’s crazy people use anything else imo.

Crack0n7uesday ,

Better compression, password protected files, better speeds. So many features.

w2tpmf ,

Peazip is also good for the same reasons 7zip is.

ftbd ,

I just use gzip because it’s built-in

gnuplusmatt ,

Same reason I use ark

Lots of other software makes use of 7zip, because it’s open source and free and you don’t need to pay to be allowed to integrate it into your own software

I mean Rita’s last name is Wilson. Perhaps he thought he was spending that time with her and it just happened to be a volleyball.

Walker has claimed she was in a romantic relationship with singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman in the mid-1990s: “It was delicious and lovely and wonderful and I totally enjoyed it and I was completely in love with her but it was not anybody’s business but ours.”[78] Chapman has not publicly commented on the existence of a relationship and maintains a strict separation between her private and public life.[79][80]

Especially by calling it “delicious.” Ew. I can’t imagine anyone ever saying that without immediately having to wipe the drool off their chin after.

Eggs have a protective layer of wax that protects them from bacteria. However, in the US, this layer is removed, which means eggs need to be refrigerated there, while in most other countries they can be kept at room temperature for long periods of time without spoiling.

Wait, maybe this isn’t useless…

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

In ancient times, one of the timekeeping devices used in some places was the water clock, where a hole was put into the side of a water container, where the water dripped into another container, and the water level of the second container corresponded to certain times!

Whales have their own form of language. Scientists have identified a number of patterns in whale calls that seem to suggest they have a similar system of communication to our own. Their calls have certain sequences called codas that seem to repeat reliably in their speech, and show similar properties to our human vowels.

These aren’t just instinct either, they must be learned, and so baby whales will start out only being able to make incoherent sounds, until eventually they are taught to use the same codas their parents do.

Not only that, but they are different for each pod, so two separate groups of whales can’t communicate with eachother because their languages are differerent.

Scientists are currently trying to decipher whale language with the help of AI language models.

The Celsius scale was originally the reverse of what it currently is, with 100° being at the bottom and 0° being at the top! Eventually, it was changed and it stuck!

The most preserved dinosaur fossil ever is of a Psittacosaurus. This fossil is so well preserved in fact, that scientists were able see what it’s cloaca looked like.

For decades, the kilogram all around the world was calibrated to the Prototype Kilogram, a 1 kg physical cylinder housed in France. Over time, despite being kept in a vacuum-sealed case in a climate-controlled secure vault, it was found to actually be steadily losing mass due to normal degradation just from existing.

Nowadays, it’s no longer as much a concern due to the kilogram being formally defined relative to universal physical constants.

Some species of flatworm practice what is known as “penis fencing” to reproduce. All of them are hermafrodite and in order to mate they must duel with their sharp penises and try to stab eachother to inject sperm inside, impregnating the loser, but often also killing it.

I might be one of those odd people who wouldn’t hide it, since I have no problems with telling family members to fuck off if they’re cunts.

Family is who you treat like family. Just because this person is part of your family, and you’re part of my family, that doesn’t make them part of my family.

Besides, I would really love the idea of pissing some of them off.

Owljfien ,

You can tell them to fuck off, but they still may make nuisance of themselves doing frivolous legal shit with no standing that’s just annoying to deal with
