What is the best closing scene in the entire Star Trek Franchise, and why is it Kirk, Spock, and Bones singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"? in c/risa@startrek.website

What episode is this from? I'm totally blanking. Something Tom set up on the holodeck?

Yeah I play FH5 and have not touched the DLC. I feel like there is more than enough cars and content in the base game that I will probably never get to as is. It's just a chill game for me, drive around the beautiful scenery, relax, and do a race here or there.

I agree completely, I was just trying to say I think that was the beginning of it. I never touch cosmetic DLC but I at least consider DLC that adds story or more content. I play Paradox games after all. :-)

I feel like DLC is just a re-branding of ‘expansion packs’ that we used to have in the 90s.

Facial disfigurement: 'Restaurant asked me to leave over condition' in c/news@lemmy.world

The article says he thinks there wasn’t enough time for someone to complain, the restaurant staff was using it as an excuse.

“He said: "After entering I noticed a cash-only sign, so went straight back outside to withdraw my money.

"I went back into the restaurant to place an order, and they told me to 'please leave', because in their words I was 'scaring the customers', and there had been complaints about me."

He added: "There had not been enough time between the time I had been there first, and the time I went back, for anyone to have made a complaint about me so obviously the restaurant staff were not happy with the way I looked." “

So an AAA game from a major studio?

CTV News: Image released of mysterious object shot down over Yukon in 2023 in c/uap@lemmy.world

Looks like an unfocused point light source. Anyone who has used a Newtonian reflector telescope is familiar with the fact that you can see your secondary mirror and vanes if you de-focus a bright star. The ‘arm’ holding the secondary mirror looks a little thick, though.

An example of what I’m talking about:

I’m not saying it’s a Star, it might be an image of the object itself, but it looks unfocused to me.

I think Sims is a dead franchise now in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That’s how I’ve felt about The Sims since the first one. It was so boring making my Sim go to work, come home, eat, go to bed, shower, etc. I bounced off it hard and never went back. If someone likes it, good for them, but I’ve never gotten it.

I’m the husband of a houseplant collector so I am familiar with Hoya’s but that’s where my expertise ends. Just wanted to say your title reminds me of ‘Shia surprise!’ :-) Your Hoya looks great!

Edit: and now I just realized your title was actually ‘Hoya sunrise’ 🤦‍♂️ Oh well leaving it up.

[Help] How to update EA App when installed through Non Steam Launchers (sopuli.xyz)
 

So I've got the EA App installed on my Steam Deck via the Non Steam Launchers program. Everything was working great, but now the app wants to update and says it needs to restart. I let it do it's thing, it says it's downloading and applying the update and then it shuts down. When I open it again, it still says it needs to restart.

Does anyone know how to update the EA App when you have it installed this way? I've found posts online about how to update it when you have it installed directly, but since I didn't do that those methods don't seem to work.

THIS IS NOT MY OC, JUST A CROSS POST

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/663615

I'm going to kick off a monthly series highlighting some of the astronomical events that will be easily visible each month. Please feel free to make suggestions of anything that I missed, or if you have a particular celestial object that is visible now that you think is worth checking out, please let it below.

This month is host to a number of celestial events. A quick reference guide to help locate objects in the night sky, as well as a list of objects easily seen with the naked eye, binoculars, and telescope, can be found at SkyMaps.com. For an interactive map of the night sky, I recommend an app such as Stellarium, SkyMaps, though there are others that are also very good.

A few of this months events are:

Friday, July 7: Venus will appear at it's brightest for this cycle. Venus can be found after dusk in the lower western sky and will appear as a bright star.

Tuesday, July 11: Crescent Moon near Jupiter.

After the waning crescent moon clears the treetops in the east during the wee hours of Tuesday morning, July 11, it will be joined by the extremely bright planet Jupiter shining to its lower left (or celestial east).

Thursday, July 13: Crescent Moon near the Pleiades.

The eastern sky for several hours before dawn on Thursday, July 13 will host a pretty sight and photo opportunity when the slim crescent of the waning moon shines just 2 finger widths below (or celestial south of) the bright blue-white stars of the Pleiades Star Cluster. This will be a nice naked eye pairing with darker skies allowing for more of the seven sisters to be visible (how many can you see?)

Monday, July 17: New Moon.

These are the best times for observing the night sky, as the skies will be darkest during new moons.

Thursday, July 20: Earthshine Moon near Mars.

The crescent moon will shine several finger-widths to the upper right of the small, reddish dot of Mars. Look for the Earthshine moon, where sunlight reflected off of the Earth and back to the moon and slightly brightening the dark portion of the moon.

Sunday, July 30: Southern Delta-Aquariids meteors peak.

The annual Southern Delta-Aquariids meteor shower lasts from July 18 to August 21 in 2023. It will peak on Sunday afternoon, July 30 in the Americas, but it is quite active for a week surrounding the peak night. Expect 15-20 meteors per hour at peak.

Tuesday, August 1: Supermoon. This will be the second supermoon of 2023.

All summer: The Milky Way is visible from dark sky locations. This is the perfect time of the year to take a crack at photographing the milky way. Here is a link to getting started with your phone, or with a DSLR
