Someone whose whole shtick is being an asshole is an asshole.

Imagine that.

Not to say anything against the strikers but if AI could replace any writers it would be the ones from Bill Maher's show. All it would have to do is go to Boomer Facebook, find the memes with the crispiest jpegs and copy them outright.

I liked it a lot. A little long but never really boring.

I agree with others that it was heavy handed in some parts but pulled it's punches in others.

But practical sets, a good script, great casting, and an original story. Hell yes. The 4 sequels are going to be trash and the eventual cinematic universe will be a lead-painted tire fire. But it was great.

Weirdly the "vibe" of the movie was similar to a Cohen Brothers movie. It reminded be of the Big Lebowski structure and pacing-wise.

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.2.1/linux-release-notes/213138

I looked through the documentation on Fortigates website and it does look like it's different steps for installation based on which Ubuntu version you have. Also something different for Debian. Not sure which Linux mint you have or even if it's LMDE but I'd run through this doc page and see if anything works out for you.

Also obligatory nobody asked but zyxel has had a lot of severe security issues lately. Actually so has Fortinet so stay vigilant.

Vs a 3060 a 6700xt would probably be a lot better for only a little more money. Otherwise it's probably Worth looking at used options as the price/performance gets worse as you get lower priced cards than that.

Maybe you're remembering this clip?

It's not TNG it's DS9 and technically it's from the original series but O'Brien is there and there are nationalistic tensions occuring.

"We look forward to appealing this decision for Kim Davis," said Mat Staver, an attorney for Davis. "We will argue religious accommodation under the First Amendment, and other state and federal laws. We will also argue that Obergefell v. Hodges was wrongly decided and should be overturned."

So actual religious oligarchy and removal of civil rights is what her lawyer is arguing for. Imagine if a mail carrier didn't have to deliver mail because they didn't religiously believe in credit card offers or electric bills.

That's a fair point. I remember there being several but honestly don't remember any specifically other than the Gamemaster of Triskelion because he gave such a funny performance.

I felt the exact same way about Q after the first episode both as a character and as a concept for the show. They basically introduced God in the first episode of a science fiction show and he is annoying and arrogant.

But he is actually one of the best characters by the time the show is over and his all-powerful nature is toned down a little bit.

Season 1 is pretty goofy and inconsistent overall. Give it a chance and accept it for what it is and by season 4 the writing is some of the best in science fiction TV.

I sense a slippery slope into mediocrity in the same way Halo has done since Halo 3. Pop one out ever couple of years like Assassin's Creed or Far Cry, make your money, never innovate again.
