[05:41]	cmb	The most recent crop of movies were JJ Abrams, who actively hated Star Trek.  I saw the first one back in 2009 and couldn't distinguish it from a bad parody of the original series.
[05:41]	IsambardPrince	It's like whoever the writers are watched a handful of episodes of earlier series and didn't stick to any established plot points.
[05:42]	IsambardPrince	The Short Treks episode with the Bob's Burgers/Sterling Archer guy being responsible for Tribbles was funny,.
[05:42]	IsambardPrince	But it ignores Phlox having one and commenting on how quickly they reproduce in the 2150s.
[05:44]	IsambardPrince	Although the part about eating Tribbles as a solution to a food shortage emergency was a good idea. Then again, I don't think Trek has ever established how Tribbles consume enough energy to live and reproduce so fast. They're never shown doing anything except cooing and reproducing.
[05:44]	cmb	Yeah, incoherent.
[05:45]	cmb	Discovery, I mean.
[05:45]	IsambardPrince	cmb, In Star Trek Into Darkness, the plot was an "evil admiral" that found Khan and woke him up to help militarize the Federation to fight another war with Klingons.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	He had a super huge dreadnaught class starship hiding at Jupiter Station somehow.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	And even worse, although it was a classified Black Ops thing, he had a model of it in his office alongside other model starships early into the movie.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	Abrams also ignored the Warp scale.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	The big ship overtakes Enterprise somehow even though Enterprise is capable of the maximum attainable warp speed.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	Those Kelvin Universe movies were just so bad.
[05:48]	cmb	He should have just used the shroom drive.
[05:48]	IsambardPrince	Well, the thing started when "Nero" appears and destroys the USS Kelvin. I was like "Don't mind me. Just here to burn some ROMs ho hum!"

[05:51]	IsambardPrince	That pissed me off more than anything.
[05:52]	IsambardPrince	Because nearly 100 years after Discovery, they're still using warp drive even though it's slower and damages subspace (as a nod to "climate change").

[06:15]	cmb	IsambardPrince: And your grandmother sounds like my girlfriend's mom.  They'd definitely pay us to take her back.
[06:16]	IsambardPrince	The cheapest I've ever paid in rent was $240 a month. But it was a baaaaad place.
[06:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	shared occupancy
[06:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	60 a week
[06:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	you can go lower than this
[06:16]	IsambardPrince	No heat in the winter, knob and tube wiring. Hornets got in. A possum got in. There was a child molester living across the hall. People making meth downstairs.
[06:16]	schestowitz[TR2]	where food and water start costing more than rent :)
[06:17]	cmb	The place I rented was 1.5 times the size of the place I rent now for $1180 a month.  Granted, it had a roof leak that never got fixed.  I kept a huge bowl under it to collect the water when it rained.
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, I had an apartment for a while that had the roof caving in.
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	The river got about 3-4 feet from my back door once.
[06:17]	IsambardPrince	It completely flooded out half the units but didn't make it quite to mine because of a small hill.
[06:25]	IsambardPrince	So then Archer scans a row of cars and his tricorder says they have a motion activated security system. So they walk on until they find one that doesn't.
[06:26]	IsambardPrince	A tricorder can tell him about the security system but not deactivate it?
[06:27]	IsambardPrince	cmb, On the upside, at least it's Detroit, so they don't run into the "I hate you!" guy on the bus.
[06:27]	IsambardPrince	:)
[06:28]	IsambardPrince	He starts out driving by assuming you put it in gear 2. But he knows to release the parking brake.
[06:30]	IsambardPrince	He pulls over and uses the tricorder (which can't turn off a car alarm) to rob an ATM.
[06:30]	IsambardPrince	When all he needed to do was use Chase and put in a check for $300,000 that didn't exist.
[06:31]	IsambardPrince	:D
[06:31]	IsambardPrince	And then run around throwing it in the air for TikTok.
[06:32]	IsambardPrince	The thought occurs to me that they pretend to be law enforcement to get Loomis to cooperate with them.
[06:32]	IsambardPrince	They could just rip off the ATMs and pay him better than the reptilians.
[06:32]	IsambardPrince	The guy thinks he's working for terrorists and is doing it anyway. Paying him more money should get him to switch sides pretty fast.
[06:37]	IsambardPrince	T'Pol asks if humans were aware that Earth's supply of fossil fuels was nearing depletion. Archer responds "They had been for 30 years. But they didn't do anything about it until 2061 when..." and then gets interrupted.
[06:37]	IsambardPrince	30 years would mean since about 1974, so in other words "nearly depleted" meant 90 years.
[06:38]	IsambardPrince	Of course, this is the Hubbert Curve, or "Peak Oil Theory". In 1955 (iirc), this guy Hubbert had a notion that the world's oil production would hit its peak in 1995 and then all the oil fields would go into rapid decline.
[06:38]	IsambardPrince	Instead, what happened was that we continue to pump more oil every year, and make new discoveries, and produce more efficient engines.
[06:39]	cmb	Yeah.  There was a lot of peak oil doom in the mid-to-late 00s too.
[06:39]	IsambardPrince	There's no reason to think it would even run out this century. Probably not for a lot longer. And even if it did, you can make motor oils and gasoline from other stuff, like coal, methane, and natural gas.
[06:40]	IsambardPrince	So we could still make gasoline for about 1,000+ years after the crude ran out.
[06:40]	IsambardPrince	I use motor oil that isn't made from crude oil sometimes.
[06:40]	IsambardPrince	I have several jugs of motor oil that's made from natural gas.
[06:41]	IsambardPrince	They had a rebate going. It's on the floor in my kitchen closet.
[06:42]	IsambardPrince	For some reason my car needs oil top offs more often when I'm using this though.
[06:42]	IsambardPrince	But for $1 a quart, why not?
[06:44]	cmb	I had no idea this existed.  Pretty cool.
[06:44]	IsambardPrince	Then he says set your phase pistol to kill because stun had no effect on reptilians. Why would they even risk bringing phasers back with them to 2004? If the United States military got ahold of a phaser in 2004 we'd be in a lot of trouble.
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	They can replicate guns and bullets. They had them on the episode where they were on a planet colonized by people who were abducted from the old west for slave labor.
[06:45]	IsambardPrince	It would have been safer to take guns and just shoot the Xindi reptilians.

[06:47]	IsambardPrince	<cmb> I had no idea this existed.  Pretty cool.
[06:47]	IsambardPrince	They've made the stuff for years. Natural gas is cheaper than crude most of the time.
[06:47]	IsambardPrince	Certainly more predictable.
[06:48]	IsambardPrince	They don't have a very strong additive pack on the Gas-to-Liquid Pennzoils (Platinum and Ultra Platinum)
[06:48]	IsambardPrince	The ones made from crude oil need more detergents and anti-wear additives to give similar performance.

[06:49]	IsambardPrince	That's why Quaker State synthetics are cheaper but have much higher detergent/dispersant additives.
[06:49]	IsambardPrince	Those are on the higher end of what the GM dexos 1 specification allows for calcium.
[06:50]	IsambardPrince	Any more and you risk low speed pre-ignition in high compression engines with a turbocharger.
[06:51]	IsambardPrince	I looked at the analysis of STP SYN at the parts store.You can use it in older cars, but I would not put that in an engine with a turbo.

[06:53]	IsambardPrince	Mine is an old high displacement naturally aspirated overhead valve pushrod engine.
[06:53]	IsambardPrince	So it doesn't really matter much which motor oil you get off the shelf. Just change it often enough and make sure it's 5w30.
[06:54]	IsambardPrince	They make stuff today that is really too precise to be relied on.
[06:57]	IsambardPrince	Anything Walmart sells that has the API starburst and says "for gasoline engines" will work nicely.
[06:57]	IsambardPrince	They build these stores way too big.
[06:57]	IsambardPrince	It's like an entire aisle of marginally different toilet paper.

[07:05]	IsambardPrince	Okay, back to Star Trek. Loomis sleeps in a cheap apartment eating pizza that's been sitting on the counter since yesterday, and sleeps on a couch with a pull out mattress. Obviously resorting to a string of felonies for a side hustle has worked well for him.
[07:06]	IsambardPrince	At least Walter White got something right. "I'm breaking the law here. This is not enough money!"
[07:07]	IsambardPrince	Pinkman kept coming back with $10,000 here or there from what he could sell at the cheap motel.

[09:21]	IsambardPrince	I have a Melitta pour over too because I found one in the box brand new with a thermal carafe for $10.
[09:22]	IsambardPrince	You need hotter water for ideal coffee extraction anyway so you don't need to keep it sitting there off the boil for long.
[09:22]	IsambardPrince	Maybe 1 minute off the boil.
[09:23]	IsambardPrince	For green tea it's usually like 3-4 minutes off the boil before you can start brewing.
[09:23]	IsambardPrince	You know, for those of us who don't have the ones with temperature controls :)

[21:10]	IsambardPrince	Walmart will no longer accept "worn or damaged" bills.
[21:11]	IsambardPrince	"Though Walmart wont accept these damaged bills, theyre still legal currency and can be brought to a bank. A bank teller can verify them as authentic and exchange them for a newer bill of the same value. As consumers, its wise to examine our change closely before accepting it."
[21:11]	IsambardPrince	If you accidentally bring a counterfeit banknote to a bank teller, then you're in serious trouble.

[22:39]	TR Bot	 Does Gaming on Linux Have a Cheating Problem?
[22:39]	IsambardPrince	LOL
[22:39]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], May mention this.
[22:40]	IsambardPrince	Windows games use an "anti-cheat" by hacking into the Windows kernel and using a rootkit program.
[22:40]	IsambardPrince	Microsoft signs these and they can absolutely destabilize the operating system, or create security issues.
[22:42]	IsambardPrince	25-ish years ago I pretty much gave up on Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun online because of cheating. It's just not fun when you're playing the game to the rules and someone glitch spawns hundreds of bombers and sends them across the board to wipe out your base.
[22:45]	IsambardPrince	The game is supposed to force you to use your resources well, because you can only build units as fast as you can gather Tiberium, and you can gather Tiberium faster but that means building more harvesters, silos, and processing facilities, and when you do that, you're temporarily slowed down from building up an army, and of course if you don't protect the harvesters, they can be attacked.
[22:46]	IsambardPrince	I almost never focused most of my early attacks on enemy bases. I blew up their harvesters because they're usually far enough from the base that you can blow them up and their support units and retreat and it slows the enemy down without costing you much.
[22:48]	IsambardPrince	There's limited use for bombers because while they're pretty fast, if the enemy has built up laser turrets or something, they'll shoot most of them down, but they're very useful for destroying enemy harvesters and raiding parties.
