Valen@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why don't computers have "computer-numbers" equivalent to phone numbers English25·1 year agoThat would be a privacy nightmare.
Valen@lemmy.worldto Risa@startrek.website•You can swap Quark's head with Al from Quantum Leap and never noticeEnglish9·1 year agoI recently introduced my wife to Quantum Leap. She liked Al’s outfits, and I said that I’d love to have some to wear. She eagerly said she’d get me some. A week later she said she was sorry that all the clothes for men are bland. Oh well.
Valen@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is there a word for the phenomena where everyone benefits from design decisions made to help vulnerable populations?English474·1 year agoWhen closed captioning for TVs was being rolled out by government mandate in the US, there was widespread anger over having the cost of a TV increase by $0.25 for everyone for a feature that would only help a few. I was sickened by the callousness.
Valen@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do people wear shoes inside the house?English10·1 year agoI have to wear orthotics in my shoes. I can’t wear them without shoes. One day without shoes had led to months of pain.
Valen@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song?English21·2 years agoAs an atheist, I don’t like religious xmas music. But I love these songs based on the Cthulhu Mythos. The HP Lovecraft Historical Society did a fantastic job on them! I have 2 CDs of xmas holiday music from them (much more than this playlist has), and an adaptation of The Fidder on the Roof called A Shoggoth on the Roof.
Valen@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Can someone explain me how RAID works?English1·2 years agoRaid 5 is parity, not parody 😀. Each drive contains part of the information of the other drives, so that if any one of the drives dies, you can still get all the information (it will just be slower until you replace it and the system rebuilds the data on the new drive).
Innerspace was such a fun movie.
To be fair, when she first appeared on screen, I thought she looked like the Sydney Opera House. I don’t know why the costume department wanted everyone to associate the two, and thus start hating on Sydney, but there we go.

- Refit Constitution (NCC-1701A)

This episode was great! It started a whole series of episodes telling the story of the parasites.
What? They showed this, then totally forgot they had this fantastic hook for lots more episodes? Boo.
Valen@lemmy.worldto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•Episode Analysis | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 4x07 "A Few Badgeys More"English1·2 years agoI love the koala that appears as a gas cloud in the opening 15 seconds where the Cerritos flies the Federation Delta shape.
Valen@lemmy.worldto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Canon Connections: LDS 4x07 - A Few Badgeys MoreEnglish3·2 years agoJeffrey Coombs also played Schran in various ENT episodes.
Valen@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to go about self hosting a wiki of repair guides?English3·2 years agoI agree. Doku is incredibly easy and extensible. And it doesn’t need a database.
Valen@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•It's fine until you run out of disk space31·2 years agoYou really need to index your tables. This has all the hallways of a Cartesian cross product.
Valen@lemmy.worldto Risa@startrek.website•I wanna be Tendi, but I'm totally a Boimler.English3·2 years agoThat’s “The Dog.”
Yeah, being a former science teacher, correcting it was a knee-jerk reaction. :-)
