.... And not doing too tragically. Looks impressive that I won against the big dog K, but unfortunately for him, he launched his opening salvo, and then his connection died (I was just going to give up against him).
Back to the grind!
I have a number of backup drives that I was using to rotate some data around . So most of them contain much of the same data , but some of them might have newer versions of the files . I'd like to consolidate all of these into one backup version . What's the best way of merging everything into one source that just preserves the latest file date? It is thousands of files , so I have no way of going through them individually .thanks!
In theory, I still have the active versions of these files also , but there may be some files on the backups that don't exist in the active files, and I would want to keep a copy of those .
I'm in central Minnesota, found this baby bird outside my house (near a lake). Looks and sounds like a hawk. Hopefully mama comes and gives it some food.
If I buy an iphone with Verizon, sign up for Whatever payment plan, then switch it over to ATT the next month (obviously I would have to pay most of the price to Verizon) - but would I be eligible for the $800 switch over discount? That would bring the iPhone pro max price down considerably right? I'd be out the 1 month with vzw and then adding the line to my att account.
We planted this banana tree on a whim 3 or 4 years ago, earlier this year it decided to sprout this bunch. It's been.... 6(?) months since they started growing. How do I know when they should be cut off and put to ripen inside with other fruits? Thanks for the advice!
Hi All,
I got into Star Trek during the TNG era. I was under 10, so don't quite remember that far back. But I definitely remember discussing it in my teens with friends. I went on to watch Voyager/DS9/Enterprise (never finished enterprise, but will with kids) - and got around to most of the TOS episodes.
Now my kids are about the same age and I've been watching with them now for a few years. I started with TNG, as that's where I started and it feels like my "center of star trek". But after a season or two, we started watching TOS also. and then we added in Voyager. We're now on Season 5 of TNG, just wrapped up S5 of Voyager, and nearing the end of S2 of TOS. We like to watch as a family, but my wife skips the TOS episodes, as she thinks they are little silly sometimes (they are, but the kids enjoy them).
I had originally thought we should rigorously stand by the airing order (obviously I started with TNG anyway lol) - but once we started watching out of order, an interesting thing happened with them that I never really experienced growing up. For example the Trelane episode in TOS - the kids were immediately asking if he was a "Q" ("idk? Maybe" - I'd respond). They would apply ideas, patterns, thoughts from any of the other series to any of the ones they'd seen, and honestly they were often pretty good guesses. One of the TOS episodes, they thought maybe the Borg had destroyed some planets (it was the giant space worm). Another, they wondered if the Iconian gateway TNG was similar to the Guardian of Forever in TOS. Of course the "polywater" episodes they saw reasonably close together, and the episodes were very similar, and the TNG episode referenced it directly.
We also watched one of the TOS Sarek episodes, and a short while later, we saw the episode with Sarek & Picard. We saw another TOS Sarek episide (where Sarek is dying, but Spock won't donate blood or whatever), and shortly after saw the TNG episode with Sarek dying and Spock returning and interacting with Picard. So they didn't have that huge time gap and "fan service" of Spock coming back to the series, like when I was young - i mean, they just saw him yesterday in TOS.
One of the first episodes we ever watched was the Tribble episode (even before TNG) - and they loved it of course. Later on when we got to it in TOS S2, we watched it again, and right after - we watched the DS9 Episode. They didn't know most of the DS9 characters - but Worf and O'Brien were there, friends they've known for a while. My son is a bit younger, and asked if we could go back to the TOS episode and see if we could find Sisko and Dax in the episode :-P (I thought it would be neat if someone could edit that in somehow). He also wondered if Voyager would make it there sometime also.
They pick up a lot of references better watching out of order, it was something they saw just recently, not years ago (and some they are missing still of course). We went back and watched the first few minutes of the first TNG episode, and now they recognized McCoy! (one of their favorite line is "He's Dead Jim!". They loved seeing Sulu in Voyager too.
All the while Voyager is going also, making some call backs here and there. We just saw the TNG episode with "Nick Locarno / Tom Perris" (with Wes Crusher and where the squadmate dies) - and they went ahead and just said "Tom was probably going by an undercover name since his father was an admiral". So we discussed a little bit how the producers wanted to use him in Voyager, but for "reasons" it was changed. But now their head-canon is 100% they are the same person. (We'll see how they manage with "undercover Tuvok trying to steal the ship in TNG S6").
For them it is just one large story being woven around many different eras. It also helps smooth out some of the "bad" episode runs in any of the series - there's always a different story tomorrow.
I'll try to wrap up TOS shortly, and start on Enterprise soon, and as we get towards the end of TNG, we'll start on DS9. It has been helpful for them to have me gently provide information here and there about events they may not have seen yet; not ruining future stories they'll see, but providing some context.
I know this was a bit meandering around, but final thoughts in the end - If you're watching with someone new, start where you want - show them the good episodes, watch them all together.
Live long and prosper!
Hi All,
Just installed opensuse tumbleweed w/KDE. My laptop is a 13" screen that is 2560x1600. I can't see anything it's so small.
In windows, I would adjust the scaling to 175% or 200%. I found the "global scaling", which did change some things, but not everything. For example the task bar is still small, or desktop icon text is small (I can make icons big). Additionally, the scaled text doesn't look as sharp as in windows.
I would prefer a 1-button fix like windows for this. Was this the wrong desktop environment (or distro) to choose?
I don't mind tinkering, but I need to be able to see text to do that.
Thanks!
On my mac, I can use iCloud to share my documents and desktop files between other Macs that I own, or my iPad , or my phone .
On my pc, I can use OneDrive to share my desktop and documents between other PCS that I own, and on my phone.
What app makes it so I can natively have my documents/desktop/downloads/photos on all my devices, in their "native locations" (or at least most of those)?
I tried shoehorning onedrive into the mac, it kindof worked, but often not.
