Not everything about them is bad. It just really takes off after they get through the Kazon and Kes story arcs. Their encounters with the Borg, Species 8472, etc. are all really good. Not to mention Seven of Nine.

The Season 3 time travel episodes (Future’s End: 1 & 2) are really good IMO.

Seasons 4+ of Voyager (after the Kazon, Kes, etc.) is some of the best Trek ever made.

SNW feels like Nickelodeon trying to make a Star Trek show.

Fite me.

I know, I was just being a elitist, Trekkie smart ass :P

Star Trek: The Next Generation is the closest - it’s ranking at #183 This list just lost all of its credibility. DS9 and Voyager are clearly better shows.

On a good day, yeah, I have 100Mb upload so I could just match that going full ham. But I mainly seed rare (<10 seeds) things now and set a 10.0 ratio cap on all of the new/popular stuff. Gotta keep those '80s and '90s ISOs seeded, ya know? ;)

A good example: their SN30 Pro has a bad bluetooth chip in it that makes Xinput support really laggy (I don't know the specifics). It's been years now, and had a few firmware updates, but there's still been no fix. It works great for everything else though, so I still keep it around.

Just a warning for anyone thinking of buying one after reading this...

Me: *looks at my 10-15TB/mo VPN usage*

It's totally legit, I swear! Nothing but Linux ISOs and repo clones!

RT is literally state television owned by the Russian Government. They're not a third party receiving grants, they're 100% owned and operated by the government.

Keep drinking that vodka spiked Kool-Aid, homie.

Receiving a grant doesn't mean that they're beholden to the grantor or automatically make their opinions propaganda. That's like saying Mr. Rogers was a propagandist for teaching kids to be kind to one another because PBS receives federal grant money.

And if you thought opening the door would stop them; like with the older models, think again! You're getting those 5 loud-ass beeps, whether you want them or not!

I know that plastic recycling was a scam for the most part (types ~~5 & 7~~ 4 & 6 specifically). ~~But that's type 2 plastic (HDPE) which is properly recyclable in 99% of places. So that's a plus.~~

Edit: Apparently my eyes are shit and that is type 5. So no silver-lining here after all, just more dread.

Edit 2: I've been informed that types 4 & 6 (plastic bags/wraps and Styrofoam) are the bad plastics. So this is recyclable in a lot of places. Silver lining restored!

Open-Shell can fix that when you're forced (at gunpoint, obviously) to use Windows ;)
