At least Bob Barker had the decency to get as close to 100 as possible without going over.

Holy moly!

“If we don’t have Spotify working properly across Play services and core services, people will not buy Android phones,” Harrison testified.

Google: Sorry, other devs! You just aren't as important as Spotify!

[I mean, they aren't wrong. But this does not bode well for them!]

Lucas made such a mess of the original Star Wars movies with his changes over the years that I'm sure a lot of people are probably sour in general on the idea of unnecessarily changing anything in a remaster.

But what about minor production errors that don't have any impact on the plot?

Modern productions like Lower Decks are usually extremely careful to use contextually-correct sounds and effects. But shows produced before the age of Web 2.0 weren't always so diligent.

I have DS9 in mind, specifically. We see the technology of numerous species in DS9 on a recurring basis, each with their own unique audio/visual cues that the viewers come to readily identify.

But due to what I can only imagine were production errors, things don't always sound like they should.

Does it make a difference to the story that the comms on the Defiant sometimes use the Terok Nor paging sound? No.

Does it drive a nerd up the wall with how jarring it is? You betcha.

So while we ~~decide what color we want our unicorns to be~~ eagerly await the DS9 remaster, what are your thoughts on correcting minor production issues along the way?

Do you lean strongly on either side?

If you're for minor corrections, where do you draw the line?

Would you like to suggest touching grass if something so minor even bothers someone?

Edit to add: This is a sad justification to be involved in ending human life, regardless of merit.


It's especially peanuts when you consider that the VA won't have to take care of the veterans either. In the long-term, that's where most of the funding actually goes after you put boots on the ground.


Edit to add:

The costs of caring for post-9/11 war vets will reach between $2.2 and $2.5 trillion by 2050 — most of which has not yet been paid.

That is roughly 1/3 of the total estimated past/future costs of the wars.

The paid version of Sync for Reddit. I paid $1 and used it for 13 years.

The scientific, peer-reviewed answer is that it is significantly under-diagnosed in adults as well as in those AFAB of all ages. Most sources say up to 80% of adults with ADHD are undiagnosed and/or untreated.

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.
