Can you repeat that with words?

An insightful four questions.

I mean, I have Starbucks right around the corner. They ask if I want cream or sugar, and how much. If I said nothing, they'd add nothing and hand me black coffee.

 

This is an update to Chapter 1 of short-ish original Doctor Who story I'm writing. Or trying to, at least. I'd love some opinions on whether or not I'm capturing the energy of the show in a kind of novel-form. The general pace of everything will come down a bit in coming chapters.

I have it up as a Speechify above which will narrate it, or a PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DO6ZoDWImaaAiaj8P1TUeukzXm6GbP5-/view?usp=drive_link

I put $40 into Star Citizen years ago, and I expect never to see any sort of return at all.

No. Check to make sure your controller hasn't exploded and started a fire.

Roddenberry always wanted it to be moral plays disguised with prosthetics and effects. It's been woke since conception.

Stephen Miller is a full-on Trekkie.

Fair warning: There are liberties taken. I'm not intentionally breaking any canon, or making big changes, but I'm adding and expanding on a few details. Adding a bit of Spock, you might say.

At my Walmart, everyone tends to be so polite, Ive unintentionally left my cart blocking the aisle until I realize why someone is standing there holding a basket. I kind of wish more people would be like "Oi! Move it!"

I honestly have no idea. My first favorites were Dookie and Smash, and I don't enjoy either any less than I did, then.

I just read about this. It's related to the amount of bass a song has, and heavy songs tend to play better on the outside of a record, than closer inside. The needle can actually skip.

Well fortunately pizza's just made with mozzarella, and also that cheese has a completely different profile from anything sweet.

 

The LP came with the CD, and today may very well be its first time played. Not that I'd ever sell this, but the black version is about $350 on eBay.

Also in the bounty: Descendants - Hellraker Live, which I have no recollection buying, but no one else in my family would have; Ramones - Eaten Alive vol 1, and Blondie - Autoamerican

 

An original story, in progress.

In s3e17, Gaius Baltar demonstrates his original Aerilon accent to Chief. It's a gravelly "back of the throat" accent that sounds a lot like Mark Sheppard. Next episode we meet Baltar's lawyer, played by...Mark Sheppard. His law career is obviously on Caprica, but are the accents just coincidence? Is Lampkin faking it because he read the book? He doesn't strike me as a manual labor-type, but his story could be similar.

 

The draggable cursor has been getting stuck on the span mode, and refuses to go back to the single cursor no matter where you tap. Sometimes the end even gets stuck at the end of the whole comment text, and can't be moved to span a single character, unless it's the last one. Sometimes it works fine, but usually not. It does usually seem to go back to normal if you cancel, and re-edit.

 

I get why they couldn't have Odo transforming into a bear all the time, but this would mainly just be another actor, and I'd say his potential feels a bit wasted.

 

Apologies if this is the 30th Marvel prompt this month.

And if this a bit too specific a prompt, feel free to make it:
"Thanos snaps. As Bruce disintegrates and the plume clears, Hulk is left staring back."

 

I'm not finding anything about this with searches, and the Google AI is like the dumbest kid on the short bus, so I'm turning here.

I have the OS Application Style set to 'Oxygen' which supposedly displays a full No Bullshit scrollbar. With arrows and everything, like in the old days, so I can just click the button, and the fucking page will scroll.

This setting is not changing any applications' scroll bars, nor is any other style. I'm using Libre Writer for something more than 2 pages, and if I have to grab the invisible scroll bar to drag it up and down manually any longer, I am going to lose my goddamn mind. This has possibly already happened.

I've looked at every possible setting. There's nothing about how the scroll bar is displayed, and again, it's every app. So please, for the love of God, someone tell me how to force full scrollbars on installed applications.

 

The story takes place in Salem, MA, during the Witch Trials. The scene is a 100% fictional inquisition by the non-fictional Reverend Parris of Salem Village.

As you may gather, I like to have some fun with the dialogue here and there. Link is below.

It seems to happen after making a comment. Going back to the main app, and then everything is on a grey bg inset over the regular black background. This never occurred until 2 or 3 days ago.
