A Usenet post from net.startrek about Kirk's conquests.

The Path line in the header is a reminder of how good we have it now with Domain Name Servers.

I took some pics of this printout from 1985 before I'll recycle it.

To the detriment of my college grades, I spent too much time reading Usenet posts or playing games when they were available on the school's UNIX systems :-(

Google Lens was used to extract the text from the pics and I tried to put some of the spacing back in for the text below:

Here it is the list of Kirk's Woman. Thanks to all those who contributed especially "igil". It was his/her list which was the most comprehensive and which I have used (with modifications) below.

Lgil had only two categories Past relationships and conquests. I have chosen here to subdivide them further mainly this was to stress the distiction between women Kirk fell for and really cared about from women whom he merely "used". There is some grey area. of course, as in the cases of Shanna and Drusilla. The category "Other" was mainly for women in special circumstances (Thelasa) or women I didn't know how to place. I welcome suggestions and comments on these (as well as the rest of the list).

One of the most interesting things I found is that the list is of managable size. Many people speculated on the net and in private mail that the list would run close to 50-60 names. Maybe Kirk isn't as much of a playboy as we all thought :-)

A double cheeseburger with large fries and a free Whopper using points . Pic is actually from the end of June. It was the last time I was able to use the Free Fries with $3 purchase offer. Now the $2 Large Fries offer shows up in the app for me.

It's probably also the last time I'll have enough points to redeem for a Whopper since BK got stingy giving out points through their games. The pinball game was great, but it sucked for prizes awarded. No points at all and there were even times the low odds meant no offers given out either. The Tap Up game at least had a participation award of 100 points. Without the giveaways, I don't order enough to build up that many points before they expire.

My contribution to "chunky monkey" week. A couple of pics that I took of my Bandai Hi-Metal VF1S Super Valkyrie 1/55 scale. I took these about 4 years ago and didn't get around to posting them as a separate thread. It's basically NIB and stays in the box in a closet. I didn't do the gerwalk mode as I thought it was too much effort or I couldn't get it right.

The Independence Day holiday in the US, has me wondering if many in this sub have this movie in their library? I don't have it myself as I don't watch musicals much except for Disney movies. With the big 250 anniversary, I am getting a nostalgic pull to watch some of this today.

Anime Expo 1996 took place from June 28 to June 30 at the Anaheim Marriott & Anaheim Convention Center. According to animecons.com, attendance was 2918. Some of the notable guests were Hideaki Anno, Kenichi Sonoda, Noboru Ishiguro among others. Ai Orikasa and Yumi Takada were also there for the US premiere of the movie Tenchi Muyo in Love.

Highlights of AX '96

PS: I don't know about recent years, but I appreciate that the 1999 and 2000 shirts were black.

Raiders of the Lost Ark released in the US & Canada on June 12, 1981.

Secretariat was the first horse to win the Triple Crown since Citation in 1948. I've watched a lot of the races that are part of the Triple Crown, but I can't remeber catching this one live.

Here's one news station's look back at this event: https://www.wlky.com/article/louisville-secretariat-wins-triple-crown-1973-history/71534237

Also CBS Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook excitedly recalls what he witnessed there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE48mZlvLTQ

My city has drop-off sites where they keep dumpsters to receive recyclables. I spotted this pottery thing in one. I have to wonder if someone actually thought it could be recycled somehow or if they were just too lazy/cheap to properly dispose of it?

Got to love the revamped Whopper! I've been consistently choosing the Whopper when redeeming the survey receipt offer since the improvements.

PS: Thanks to the nice Redditors who liked the post enough to give it an award 😄

Bubblegum Crisis is the topic of this week's Anime of the Week thread in r/anime. Which made me want to post pics of my collection of BGC-related video discs. AnimEigo's set of BGC LDs were actually my first laserdiscs. I preordered them even before I had a player.

The Best of Bubblegum Crisis Music 1 CDV I posted before.

I also posted before the Bye-Bye Knight Sabers: Holiday in Bali LD. It's a music video with the seiyuu (voice actresses) singing BGC songs at various spots around the island.

From https://ocalamagazine.com/captain-midnight-and-the-jamming-of-hbo/

>He called himself “Captain Midnight” and for over four minutes he rocked the world of satellite television.

>The date was April 27, 1986. The time: 12:32 a.m. If you happened to be watching the Home Box Office Network’s broadcast of “The Falcon and the Snowman” then, you saw the message sent out by Captain Midnight. Right after the movie concluded its opening credits, a 25-year-old Ocalan working for a local teleport uplink operator jammed HBO’s transmission with a standard color test pattern that included the following statement:

>GOODEVENING HBO
FROM CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT
$12.95/MONTH?
NO WAY!
(SHOWTIME/MOVIE CHANNEL BEWARE!)

>Captain Midnight was actually John MacDougall, who in those days operated a satellite television dealership when it was all the rage for homeowners to place a huge dish in their yard in order to capture direct satellite feeds of premium cable programming. When HBO began scrambling its signal and charging what were then exorbitant fees, the dish craze began to wane and dealers of the product took a major financial hit.

>With business sour, MacDougall went to work as a part-time operations engineer for Central Florida Teleport, which uplinked services to satellites. It was after one of his shifts on a Saturday evening that he decided it was time to send his message to HBO and all viewing. By simply aiming his dish at the satellite Galaxy I, Transponder 23, and applying more power than the 125 watts HBO was using to transmit its signal, Captain Midnight took control. In essence, Captain Midnight achieved the world’s first hijacking of a satellite.

Also another article that includes a link to a video of the jamming in progress.
