I believe #introductions are in order. My name is Tom, my pronouns are he/him/his. I've been a Linux person since the late 90s. I've been a Sci-Fi reader since I could choose my own books. I've been a Sci-Fi watcher for even longer. I'm married and we have two kids. I'm in the US (North Carolina), I'm a liberal and I talk politics under a CW. Given the instance, I should mention my family watched TNG growing up and I really liked catching TAS when it was on.

Alright, so as part of nearing the end of ST:TNG, I'm getting ready to watch Generations. And since I've seen it before, I'm going to put the Rifftrax audio with it. And since doing something like that is infrequent enough I'm noting down the ffmpeg/audacity parts to remix everything back together.

To borrow from many people on hellsite, does Ken Starr not know that he's THE Ken Starr of the Clinton Impeachment?

FWIW, short of literal Hitler, no, no deaths are worth celebrating.

Finally up to this episode, which I've been waiting for the whole re-watch. This freaked me out for a long while when it first aired.

ST: "Life support is failing on that ship we're going to evacuate in less than a minute"
Expanse: "OK, so we can live on our current air for a while, so long as there's no holes anywhere"

As someone whose first, second and third preferred candidates have already dropped out, consider this. If your preferred candidate cannot convince a majority of primary voters they're the best, perhaps they aren't actually likely to convince a majority of general election voters either? And "they're both just as bad" was wrong in 2000 as it was in 2016.

Kai Winn. :tableflip:. That is all.

Perhaps an #introductions addendum. I like to help. If I see a question, and I've done the thing, I might answer. I don't always, since I know there's also "I wasn't actually asking, just saying...".

So, Windows help question. In Linux, I've rebound a number of keys to something more useful (especially caps lock). When I'm in Windows for a bit I get messed up on that. Where do I go to rebind keys? The "Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Center" app seems to be only for specific devices.

A general DS9 comment? It's nice to see all civilians in what looks like actual clothing not just a uniform without insignia.
