Haven't purchased it yet. I need to read it, but I've had a difficult time tracking down issue 30 in comic book stores - I got behind and have everything else in the other spin off series.

No! Why did you make me aware of this one?! Now I have to acquire it!

Honestly, this might be the best one they’ve ever made; before, I was quite partial to the Janeway one, which I gifted to my mother.

Depends. SNW retconned it and said the Temporal Cold War pushed it up.

I’m pretty sure by default, virtual networks are not enabled automatically if you’re not using virt-manager GUI.

To make it run automatically, run the following: virsh net-autostart default

If it’s not that, just to make it easier to find information, what’s your host distro? I’m guessing by mention of Kickstart files that it’s something Red Hat related, possibly Rocky 9 based on your choice of guest.

The bridge crew of the Dauntless/Voyager A would like a word.

(Just pretend Ascensia’s not there)

Weird. It must be that my taste is very indie/alternative. You can always also check if the artist has their own shop.

That’s how Jonathan Coulton does it. They Might Be Giants does it as well (in addition to a Bandcamp), but most of their stuff from 1990-1996 is stuck on their former label, so they can’t sell DRM-free audio, only vinyl and/or cassette.

I got midway through season 4 of Disco, though I plan on finishing eventually. I think season 3 had its ups and downs, but the setting it introduced could have been really interesting. I was just underwhelmed by what they were doing in season 4 instead of the natural plot threads the 32nd century opened.

I agree on SNW, and LD and PRO have earned a special place in my heart.

Let’s transporter clone, Genesis planet, Black Mountain etcetera George Samuel so he can live past 2267.

Though typically partially bleeped, but yes.

Do you have FluidSynth installed? I had similar issues recently - I just have a script that restarts pipewire automatically on login.

You must be quite behind on Trek. They sort of just gave up on Kelvin and returned to the prime timeline with Star Trek: Discovery back in 2017. They eventually canonized that the Kelvin timeline is just an alternate reality existing in parallel to the main timeline.

I recently found hidden in my CD collection a copy of the soundtrack to The Tune.

 

I just threw this together. I felt it was a very relevant song, though I also could have put Riker clips to it and had it work just as well.

 

I have a feeling “Severance” has a different connotation with Klingons.

I was especially trying to imitate Prodigy's styling of him.

I don't know that it looks like Jellico, but it does look like an experienced officer circa 2381.

The stardates are just there to fill in the document - I got them from event years on Memory Beta and then just put a random date into the stardate calculator.

 

I was looking at references of both TNG and Prodigy Jellico to try to make an LD-style Jellico, when I found how they styled his face varied a lot between episodes - I count about 4 significant variants.

For reference, here is TNG Jellico:

Jellico as he appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation

This was his first Prodigy appearance in S1 E15 Masquerade:

Jellico as he appeared in S1 E15

Definitely a bit yikes, but I also slightly dig the "old man who will bite your hand off if you get within one mile of him" look.

They totally changed his face for his second appearance 4 episodes later, in S1 E19 Supernova Pt 1:

Jellico as he appeared in S1 E19

I like this look - it feels very Clone Wars. However, I can see why they might have gotten right of it - it makes it difficult for the face to show anything but aggression.

They dialed back the clone wars for his next appearance in S2 E5 Observer's Paradox:

Jellico as he appeared in S2 E5

I think it was also largely the same in S2 E9 The Devourer of All Things Pt. 1:

Jellico as he appeared in S2 E5

They might have enlarged the eyes a bit, but I think the other differences are mostly because of perspective differences and facial expressions.

The final, and longest-lived Jellico variant first appears in S2 E14 Cracked Mirror:

Jellico as he appeared in S2 E14

This model leans on the more realistic side. This one is probably the most recognizable as Jellico from TNG. It also allows much more expressiveness (not just an aggressive scowl), as seen in these images from E15, E16 (It looks like a different variant, but if you go a bit before, it's actually the same one), and E20:

Jellico as he appeared in S2 E15

Jellico as he appeared in S2 E16

Jellico as he appeared in S2 E20

Overall, I think my favorite Jellico is probably S1 E19, but I can see why they had to switch.

Still, I wonder why it took so long for them to make up their mind on the face and why they didn't get it right the first time.

If life's going to be this crappy, at least cast Jeffrey Combs as Elon Musk, Mr. Universe.

"Boss of Me" might be my favorite Flans song... besides "Put Your Hand Inside the Puppet Head"... and "Music Jail"... and "Let Me Tell You About My Operation"... and "If Day for Winnipeg". Nevermind. Please don't make me choose a favorite Flans song.
