I like how I was courageous enough to not fix the actual typos/failed commands in the actual history lol.

Pretty much, yeah.
Rather than jot down in a text file the various ffmpeg commands I use frequently...

Laughter is the best medicine. If that doesn't work, try 50 ccs of inaprovoline. If inaprovoline doesn't work, slap them.
I'm currently reading "Star Trek: Destiny" and the Borg are the big bad. Enjoying it so far (only about 1/3 into the first book of the trilogy).
I don't really have a solid answer, and have only recently gone down the TrekLit rabbit hole, but I'd venture a couple of guesses:
- Many of them utilize existing characters, so that might be problematic given the age of the cast and/or their availability.
- I vaguely recall that existing characters for different series have to pay royalties to the writer who invented the character. I think this was the case for Nick Locarno and why Tom Paris is basically "We have Nick Locarno at home"
- Probably some other IP legalese mucking things up as it is wont to do
When I posted yesterday looking to get some book suggestions, many of them involved existing characters. I think the "The Fall" series is all original characters, so it would probably be a good candidate. There's probably others, but I'm not familiar enough yet to name any more.
The actor age / availability problem is probably solvable if the series was animated, though.
I'd be curious to see how adding a few plants affects that.
The Destiny trilogy by David Mack
Bought that one yesterday and am literally reading it now. Loving it so far; the pacing is fantastic.
Not long after the end of DS9. Garak remained on Cardassia Prime helping to rebuild after the end of the Dominion War. The framing structure of the book is a series of journal entries and letters from Garak to Dr. Bashir, so it covers a lot of time periods.
The cover makes me think "made-for-TV-movie RomCom" and now I have to buy this.
DS9 Millennium
Bought that trilogy and will read it after ST: Destiny
New Frontier series
That one was also recommended. It's in the wish list, but I gotta figure out the reading order and buy them in order.
Invasion (4 books)
I didn't even see those when I was looking, but will search for them directly.
The fall (5)
Also on the wish list :)
The buried age
Will check it out.
Thanks for the suggestions, and nice stack/collection! One of the drawbacks of ebooks is they're not great for showing off or filling up a bookcase lol.
Probably, yeah. I was similarly disappointed when my Kobo came with micro USB, but considering I love everything else about it, I gave it a pass. That, and I typically only have to charge it once a month.
I've got USB-C to micro adapters, but I've only got 4 of them and either keep losing them or they get semi-permanently installed to a Raspberry Pi or something.
