This week was not as Trekful as last week was, but being caught up on SNW has given us the freedom to explore more Trek!

Throughout my wife's journey into Trek, Voyager has remained her favorite, so we started watching it again. We switched our Paramount+ from Prime to standalone, but we forgot to check where we were in Voyager first.

I know we had watched False Profits, so we started with s3e6 Remember, we also watched e7 Sacred Ground, e8 Future's End, and started e9 Future's End II.

We also got in a little more TAS, s1e2 Yesteryear, and s1e3 One of Our Planets Is Missing.

We balanced TAS with some LD, s3e6 the deep space nine one, my wife has never seen ds9 so there was some explaining to be done.

We also watched the new SNW, which was a lot of fun. I have only seen STVI once, maybe twice, and the revelation about Spock being descended from Arthur Conan Doyle.

Whoever made this report is about to be sacked.

I doubt it, I am not a kazoo expert, but they seem to make their noise by built up air pressure.

Peppers and onions?

And from what I have read elsewhere, the cashiers hate it.

Those kazoos are the wrong way round.

If you want to ride your e-scooter at 100mph go for it, I do not give 2 shits. As I said in my initial post, I do not want to go that fast because I already feel when I am going 15mph it is too fast.

If you want to argue about regulation go for it, but that was not what my comment was about, it was about my personal feelings regarding myself.

The double standard is because I felt invincible then, now I throw my knee out getting off the toilet.

When I was 20 I would have gone for this in a heartbeat, now at almost 50 I find myself thinking 15mph is too fast on my escooter.

Be the change you want to see.

 
 

I keep hitting the button that swaps the LED pattern on my new Keychron K1 Max. I want it to remain solid color, no pattern changes.

 
 

Until Sunday, August 17, 2025, at 23:59 UTC, a Shiny Chien-Pao with Ice as its Tera Type will be appearing in 5-star Tera Raid Battles. During this event, Trainers worldwide can unite against this Ruinous Pokémon for a chance to add it to their teams.

Unlike standard Tera Raid Battles, Shiny Chien-Pao cannot be caught upon being defeated. Instead, if the total number of player victories against this Pokémon collectively meets or exceeds one million during its event period, Shiny Chien-Pao will subsequently be available to claim via Mystery Gift during its distribution period.

For every one hundred thousand player victories collectively exceeding one million against this Pokémon, a Tera Shard Set—each containing 40 Tera Shards—will also be distributed (up to a maximum of 10 sets total). Work together with Trainers around the world to challenge the treasures of ruin and welcome them as allies!

~The final total of player victories against this Pokémon is scheduled to be announced at approximately 00:00 UTC on the Friday following the conclusion of this Tera Raid Battle event.~

~The Shiny Chien-Pao appearing during this event may be featured in future events or become obtainable through other methods.~

Years ago I built this table, while it is not the best work, it is the best table I have ever built.

It is very solid, the legs are 4x4s and the top 5 2x6s. The floor of my shop is wood, and normally it is only me moving the table. I stapled pieces of felt to the bottom of the feet, and they worked for a while but now are worn out.

I am looking for an idea of something to put on the feet to make it both easier to move across the floor, and keep the table from marring the floor.

I am thinking pieces of leather may work well. I have tried the plastic things that are supposed to make furniture glide, and they did not work at all.

 
 

This is Lenore, she was hit by a car 16 years ago. She had to have her skull and jaw wired together. She was blind in her right eye following the accident. I adopted her from my sister 11 years ago. She passed away 6 years ago, she was at least 16 at the time.

My wife has an old Lenovo i5 thinkpad that we would like to use again with linux, before buying a new computer. I was wondering if there is a tool that I can input the model and stats of the device and it will output a few suggested distros for it.

It is the X1 Carbon 20BT with the i5-5300U Processor, it has 8gb ram. https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/pd100509-overview-for-thinkpad-x1-carbon-type-20bs-20bt

Update: I have installed mint xfce but am downloading cinnamon and switching to that.

 

Trying to cut down my vehicle usage, however my 75lbs dog comes to work with me every day. I live in an area that is too hot for her to walk with her feet unprotected a significant portion of the year.

I was hoping to convert my niece's old bike trailer into a dog trailer to pull behind. But so far the only two I have found were $1300 and $1500 and it looks like one of them is no longer available.

 

I recently started to play a crafting mmorpg (bitcraft) and while it runs great on the steam deck, the controls are not great. I have been playing with an old dell usb keyboard and Bluetooth trackball. I would like to find a great Bluetooth keyboard. So many of the wireless keyboards I have looked at require a dongle, which limits my ability to charge unless I use a dock.

I would rather a larger keyboard than a smaller one.

 

With the impending closure of lemm.ee and both of the current mods being MIA I created a new foraging community !foraging@slrpnk.net

Come join us and share your forages, or learn about ours.

Even Furiosa, my dog, is foraging.
