Or, Leola root is the hydroponic equivalent of zucchini.

This video seems like something Neelix would make for his morning show.

What to do with too much zucchini!

That’s what I thought. Leola root is a high carb root that will grow quickly on mats in a hydroponic bay.

Currently, real life intensive vertical hydroponic gardening is great for leafy greens, but not so much for starchy or other caloric carbs.

It’s pretty odd that an NBCUniversal event is bringing two Paramount Global fandoms (D&D, Star Trek).

I found the Wesley hate cringe when TNG was in first run.

And now I am a parent I find it mean and cringe.

It’s old and tiresome.

What about the option of the original black and white recording of ‘The Cage’ with the colour portions from ‘The Menagerie’ spliced in, as released to videotape in thr 80s?

That was the real Star Trek. Roddenberry even took it to cons in the 70s and 80s to let fans know what he really wanted to put on the air.

I’m not unhappy that Starfleet Academy has been holding back on callbacks of Discovery legacy characters.

As we saw with DS9, sometimes it’s better to let the new characters have some time to establish themselves and settle down before confronting them with former main cast legacies. Otherwise, what’s intended to help a new show get established can sometimes do the opposite.

Can anyone really cite a first season major legacy character appearance that boosted a new show and is considered a strong entry in hindsight?

The only one that comes to mind for me is Riker and Troi’s appearance in ‘Nepenthe’ in season one of Picard.

I bought season two of Prodigy in Canada from AppleTV, but am super frustrated.

Season one continues to be available in the CTV app for CTV Sci-fi subscribers, but I am really wondering about what the value of that subscription is.

There still are a few new shows (SurrealEstate, The Ark, SNW) that I watch, but they remove some new shows from the app super quickly. We have to record them in the PVR or by physical media as soon as it’s out.

For anyone who is a Trek fan, I strongly recommend MGM’s Forbidden Planet as ‘must see’ viewing.

It was the most expensive movie ever made in its time in the mid 1950s, and Roddenberry cited it as the kind of science fiction he wanted to bring to television in tone and high production values (for the time).

There’s a clear throughline to ‘The Cage.’

Also, you’ll see that George Lucas borrowed a few visual ideas for his Star Wars as well.

“It looks like mine!” he adds.

The costuming is from the same design language and it was lame for the 1980s if passable in the 70s.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (3 children)

It was a recycle two—for-one: The costuming overlapped on that one, the plot recycling was saved for the equally eye-rolling ‘Angel One’ where

In this episode, an away team visits a world dominated by women to search for survivors of a downed freighter, while the crew of the Enterprise suffer from the effects of a debilitating virus.

 

A fairly thorough piece.

Whatever your view on whether it’s a pro or con for the ensemble and storytelling, SNW ‘Lost in Translation’ having covered off the ‘met him when he made fleet captain’ reference to Pike in TOS, there seems to be a great deal of flexibility for SNW to keep bringing Jim Kirk into its stories.

Here’s one unexpected take.

So what does that mean for Kirk? We have to wait until 2265 for him to take over as captain of the Enterprise, right? Well, maybe not. Canon is oddly vague on the handover from Pike to Kirk. In fact, only one episode of TOS actually takes place in 2265: “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” the second pilot. There’s also nothing that indicates Kirk didn’t serve on the Enterprise in another role before getting promoted. If, in theory, Pike were to step down and someone else became an interim captain, then nothing is stopping Kirk from serving on the Enterprise before 2265.

This is a very carrotty 70s health food version. It has a loose moist crumb, and uses a lot of oil (sunflower or safflower). Baked in an 8x8” or 9x9” square pan, it rises quite high. Still a family favourite though.

1 cup safflower oil 1 cup white sugar 3 large eggs

  1. Beat together, adding sugar into oil, then one egg at a time.

1 1/3 cup flour 1 1/3 tsp baking powder 1 1/3 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  1. Sift the dry ingredients and add, in bit by bit to the rest. Beat.

1/2 cup chopped walnuts tossed in 1-2 tablespoons flour 2 cups finely grated carrots

  1. Add in the walnuts (if desired) and grated carrots.

  2. Beat well.

5). Bake approximately 1 hour at 300 degrees F.

Use cream cheese icing.

Cream Cheese Icing recipe

1 cup icing sugar* 1 tablespoon butter 1 tsp vanilla 4 oz cream cheese **

  • icing sugar is a powdered white sugar mixed with a small amount of finely ground starch, usually corn starch or potato starch. It’s just a few % by weight so that a teaspoon starch per cup of powdered sugar should do it.

**The cream cheese icing recipe states ‘Philadelphia’ brand, but it’s not what we’ve used since the firm began to add guar and other gums. We use an all natural cream cheese from a local dairy.

 

How are folks using the decidedly beta Mlem doing?

It’s not as fully built as the developer’s demo pages would suggest.

However, it can do more than some have criticized.

It’s definitely idiosyncratic at this point.

So, I’m curious, in the spirit of assisting in getting this community going, to share what people have figured out that works.
