I’m sure the s&m didn’t make it into the daily newspapers. I grew up reading Gary Larson’s compilations and his descriptions of censorship for strange reasons. If gimp Archie made it in, nothing makes sense.

Spelunkers of all sorts have chosen their graves. They should leave them there like they do MtEverest climbers.

Of course, the reader is a huge variable. I have had to crank up an audiobook to 2.5x-3x for one reader. Of course that is usually way too high to be comfortable. I do 2x quite often but 1.5x really is the best and feels the most natural. I can’t do 1x or it feels like the reader has a speech impediment.

Going back and listening to common sense when he did it regularly is an interesting history trip in itself. I don’t usually recommend it now, not as an ongoing show anyway, mostly because I keep thinking he might never do another one, but he does do one when something legitimately important happens that isn’t just a partisan scoreboard talking point, and it is always a good listen.

I drive a lot for work, so I listen to a lot of audio books and podcasts. I got to the point that listening at 1.5x sounds normal. It doesn’t feel like speedrunning, I don’t even do it to get through stuff faster, it is just that people talk so … slowly.

Most of the time I find podcasts by accident.

Hard Core History - (Every series he makes is great but “Blueprint for Armageddon” describes WWI better than I ever heard it described and it is a masterpiece. Unfortunately that particular series is old enough that it is only on Dan Carlin’s website for sale, but his new shows are free.)

Coverville - A very well curated music show that is all cover songs and has been running since 2004. Somewhere around 2005 I was working at the postoffice, and that show got me through the day. It is still the best music show I know of.

Kicks. Kicks for everyone.

Thanks I’ll have to check it out. I miss those guys. 😀

I’ve always been suspicious of any explanation they gave for their molecule scrambler. Starfleet is at core a military establishment, and they will say any kind of lie to keep the plebs in line and everything running smoothly. Also, I think the buffer allows them to use some sort of mass reserve to fix missing bits, I think Scotty explained something like that when he put himself in the buffer and turned on the refresh to cycle, and it just did the whole thing for Riker. Now, whether that buffer is holding particles or just a record of the poor destroyed original, I don’t know what to believe. (All speculation of course, based on years of transporter incidents.)

Okay, I do agree that that is art.

Yeah, we definitely wore out our tape. I can see that egg scene in my head precisely. Heh. I think somebody had it up on youtube years ago. Not sure if it is there now though.

Stasis was the right thing… the other thing they could have done is pull a “William Thomas Riker”, duplicated Tuvix and then immediately defused one of the two. (I am afraid that all it takes to pull a Riker is to disable the destruction of the original as it is copied up to the ship. Probably this is a closely guarded secret so they don’t get more ‘Bones’ situations with people refusing to transport.)
