If anyone has any suggestions of what we should check out that aren't every Star Trek show made since the 1970s, that would be great. My interest in this thread goes far beyond y'all arguing TNG vs DS9, ffs.

I heard that at least a dozen non-Star Trek shows got made between the 1970s and now, but that could just be a rumor. If anyone has any insight, please post that instead of "Star Trek _______ is the best!!!!" Thanks, signed everyone who doesn't feel the need to debate which Star Trek/Star Wars/Whathefukever is considered best by internet nerds.

Have you seen any of the Marvel shows--Daredevil, Jessica Jones, etc.? I'm behind on Luke Cage, but I'm looking forward to Iron Fist.

@RojoLoco I really need to just get to Luke Cage. It's been sitting in my queue since its release.

I'm reading up a bit about indoor plant growing on a global scale.

Specifically PlantLab and Plant Paradise

It's really awesome technology.

Somebody's growin' weed...

Ah no, I can't stand the stuff.

That's why you lie down when you smoke

Figuring out where the GF and I want to backpack to this weekend at Joshua Tree. Got a new pack and new sleeping back, temps in low 40's at night and I'm excited to try it out.

What pack? I have a Red Rock Outdoor Assault Pack (not for tactical but for modular reasons).

If you find yourself this way.. you should hit the Gorge

I got the Kelty Coyote 80 from REI. We usually only do one night, wouldn't consider anything more than two nights, so I didn't need anything too intensive. We opted for a square double sleeping bag because neither of us enjoy feeling like a butterfly about to emerge from a cocoon, so it fits nicely into this pack, and she carries the tent/sleeping pads.

Thats the kind of pack I'm looking into right now. I don't understand why people want camo stuff for hiking!! I want to be SEEN! More than that, I want to be able to put my stuff down and be able to still see it from 2 meters away.

It's a great pack. And yes, I want to be seen in the off-chance I get lost somehow.

Where I hike I'm also worried about other hunters. Leading cause of death in the forests here is being mistaken for a moose/deer

Oh god. So many memories of hunter safety videos are flooding back.

Currently listening to Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN." for the second time. Great album!

Here's a fun workout to do at home: Get a deck of playing cards, assign an exercise for each suit--- Pushups = Diamonds, Squats = Spades, Situps = Hearts, Jumping Jacks = Clubs

Shuffle the deck, and pull the top card. The number is the reps, the suit is the exercise. Pull a 6D = 6 push-ups.

Face cards are 15, Aces are 20.

Do the whole deck.

Once again getting ready to watch my Penguins in a Game 7, this time for the ECF against the Ottawa Senators.

Someone hold my hand.

I wish I could watch a hockey game between literal penguins and literal senators. Potential comedy level 10.

The thought of that made me open my wallet involuntarily.

Listening to Big Boi's new album "Boomiverse"

@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

Taco Bell!

I'm so sorry.

@RojoLoco Mostly, I just want one giant RTJ + Big Boi album.

@nerdydad yeah the apps being self-contained kinda limit the necessity of a mouse. I thought that'd be a limiting factor, but it hasn't been an issue thus far.

Keyboard shortcuts really help, I can switch apps via Cmd + tab, and most apps display any available shortcuts if you hold down Cmd within the app.
