Reminds me of the screens on the Enterprise-D

They are focusing on the dry part of the term. Using a liquid during the process goes against the dry part.

No, the bridge is too well-guarded.

But is space (and its resources) truly infinite?

Traditional broadcast TV is the horse-drawn carriage business in an automobile world.

"We make horse buggies and the first Model T just rolled into town."
"We're dinosaurs..."
"We don't need two metaphors. That's bad writing. Not that it matters."

EDIT: Is that last line there also another "Studio 60 vs. 30 Rock" joke?

Apparently most NBC affiliates refused to air it because aside from simply promoting the upcoming fall schedule, it heavily endorsed the then-new streaming service Peacock. They saw that as a potential means of leading viewers away from them.

Obviously, the blue part is land.

I think they mean that the "Wobblies" and the "Pinkertons" just sound like a bunch of cartoon characters or something.

"Games as a service" are by design never really finished, right? If you are cool with that, go for it. I have never personally tried one.

 

I thought Bucky Bright was a real person making a cameo, and that he was just a real good sport about making absurd jokes about his time as an actor. It was not until seeing the announcement of Conway's death in 2019 that I realized Bucky Bright was made up for 30 Rock.

Vocal samples taken from S5E4 "Live Show" (both the east coast and west coast versions). Video clips taken from various episodes all over the series.

And here is an MP3 link with better audio quality if you really like it that much.

It makes more sense to me to have the switches appear as red when the device has the ability to record you. When color is used as an indicator for something, the general convention is that red is negative. Meaning that there is a greater possibility of something going wrong when a red indicator is being displayed. You could argue that "webcam is not working for some reason" is a negative, and that seeing the bright red indicator can bring your attention to the switch as a hint to how to fix the issue. I would argue against that by stating that having a webcam record you when you do not want it to is a much bigger potential negative than the webcam not recording when you do want it to.

Also:

  • When a traditional video camera displays a red indicator light, that means the camera is recording.
  • On the underside of the Framework 16, the expansion module latches are red when disengaged

 
 
 

PolyCube is a block-stacking puzzle game in full 3D, with optional VR support. Move and spin your block pieces in all directions to place them in the puzzle before time is up and the piece drops.

The developer was a full-time web dev who wanted to try out solo game development, but they ended up hating the business management side of things, so they eventually gave up the "hobby" and just set the game to free permanently.
