Devils panties 02/03/2025

One of my pet peeves is places don’t want to send me physical mail which would be fine if they would email me a pdf for electronic delivery but no. Their electronic delivery is an email that says come to our site and login and download it. Its like if the physical mail was a post card saying to drive to the office and ask for a printout.

    Given the sensitive nature of certain information and the presence of matter recyclers, extra PADDs lying about seems to be an unintended consequence.

    Also, Sisko looks like he’s taking part in an infomercial.

      I imagine a dozen ensigns from all over the station converged on Sisko’s office at the same time with different terrible reports to hand him. First on the list: The wifi is down.

        Considering it’s DS9, the first report will likely be “the replicators stopped working… Again… For the third time in the last 24 hours…”

        Tried to find the SNL Jim Bruer infomercial bit, but it seems to have disappeared like so many relics.

            He was kinda funny in Half Baked, passable at best in SNL. But especially COVID and after, I saw some of his standup and he is beyond insufferable

            Fair, just needed it for the comparison.

        Indeed. Brings back some decent memories.

      It really shatters the illusion to see the insides. That second picture does NOT look like it’s technology from hundreds of years in the future!
