What is Babylon 5 missing (in your opinion) ?
2025.01.23 21:00 laeiryn What is Babylon 5 missing (in your opinion) ?
This isn't a trick question, I'm fairly asking.
I'm rewatching the show again and I realized the dialogue seems a bit .... Bowdlerized at times. After so much "modern streaming television" , one of the strangest things is how "network television" the language is. They're military. Surely there would be at least one person who swore at least sometimes. But it was the 90s and we didn't get more than a 'hell' or a 'damn' occasionally.
The other is something JMS wanted to include: background chars in same-sex relationships, or even Ivanova being more openly bisexual. As a kid I didn't even notice that she was in her pjs in another woman's room, LOL.
It's probably ESPECIALLY notable in the language front because yesterday I was watching The Boys (talk about a tone shift, right?) and today I restarted B5 from the beginning. Surely someone could have been the foul-mouthed one. Odd that personality wise, it would probably be (civilian) Garibaldi instead of one of the military.
What do y'all think of the theory that Corwin [ https://babylon5.fandom.com/wiki/David_Corwin ] has a lexicon like an unmoderated online FPS game played exclusively by 15 year old boys, and he gets so little screen time because he just is always swearing up a blue streak and none of his scenes are airable. Just because he seems like the sweetest, most innocent bird around.
OH and obviously "more non-bipedal aliens" but like, we all know it's easier for a human to portray something that's still mostly human shaped, so we forgive almost all visual-media scifi for being boring in this manner.

2025.01.23 21:00 TraditionAny4156 Glasses and MCAT noise cancelling headphones
I’ll be retaking the MCAT on March 8th I wear glasses and prefer a silent test environment. Last time, although I knew headphones would be provided, I wasn’t prepared for the type or heaviness. I used them for all sections, and while the first two sections went fine, during the B/B section I started getting a headache and couldn’t concentrate. At first, I thought it was just exam anxiety or stamina. By the time I reached Psych/Soc, I couldn’t process anything. I took the headphones off and even took a short break, but it didn’t help.
My strongest section (Psych/Soc) ended up being my worst. I later realized the issue was my glasses pressing against my ears, causing the discomfort.
I usually wear glasses and only use contacts for formal occasions. Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I try wearing contacts longer, or do you think earplugs would work just as well? I’m worried about my eyes drying out from wearing contacts too long.

2025.01.23 21:00 Lovinsunshine97 Gratitude journal *(daily scheduled post)*
We are all familiar with prating gratitude. It is an overly used concept that many times can turn int o a form of “toxic positivity” and this is far from what I want to do here. What is to be grateful anything?
I believe it is a feeling in a warm tan color in my chest, that makes me smile and think “I am happy I am here to see/experience this.” Maybe it is a religious experience to you, maybe you feel like thanking God or the universe for the opportunity to be here right now.
Another interesting thing is, you don’t have to feel grateful about big life changing experiences only, sometimes I am just grateful for McDonald’s, or for my cat, my friends and family for being there for me. Some days I’m grateful for having to strength to take a shower or drinking a glass of water. You can be grateful about anything.
Practicing gratitude helps us guide our minds into a more positive way of thinking. It doesn’t mean you can’t complain (I love complaining lol) but it helps us thinking about the good things we are actually able to experience.
If this seems too hard for you right, try to modify it to fit your needs: try to write down one complain you have about your day, and battle it with one or two that you feel grateful or happy for. We are all in different stages of our journey. You’re loved and respected, and your feelings are valid.
Now tell me, what are you grateful for today? What are you complain you want to battle with a good thought?

2025.01.23 21:00 Thatboymarv Microdosing combined with cordyceps & reishi ??
Hi all! I’ve microdosed before in the past following normally a 4 day on 3 day off protocol, or an every other day type of thing. Never combined with a stack of cordyceps and reishi though, wondering if anyone has any experience with it?
I know lion’s mane is more popular to stack, but doesn’t suit me well (low libido, sleep issues, etc)
Cheers!

2025.01.23 21:00 Penguin_Life_Now Looking for flat non tapered replacement cover?
Does anyone know a good replacement cover manufacturer that offers flat top covers to replace my original 27 year old cover for my Hot Spring Jetsetter tub? The tub is in an enclosed location in my pool house, so is not exposed to weather, and the flat top makes for a convenient flat tabletop like surface to sit things on (plates, drinks, etc) when the tub is not in use.

2025.01.23 21:00 AutoModerator r/piercing rule, Photos at least need to be in focus, well lit, clear and close up.
Hey everyone,
Although we do our best to make the rules of this subreddit as clear as we can within the characters limits, we notice that sometimes there’s some confusion or misunderstanding about the rules.
This post is about our photo rule, and it applies to all photos you add to your post.
- All photos need to be clear, in focus, well lit.
- All photos need to be close up to showcase the piercing or relevant body part in detail.
- Poses should be neutral and designed to show off only the piercing.
- No nudity beyond what is strictly necessary to show the piercing
- Credit the piercer and shop by name whenever possible, include jewelry information if you can
- Do not include social media handles, shop website addresses or (self) promotion in either photo or text
But first, your privacy and safety Be careful when posting photos online. Do not post screenshots that display your location or that includes miniatures of other photos from your photo album. Likewise do not share iCloud or Google drive links those often gives away your full name.
And please, do not send photos through DM or chat.
All photos need to be clear, in focus, well lit. If you use more than one photo in your post then each photos should follow the guidelines.
Clear means that a photo should be easily understandable. People shouldn’t have to guess what sort of piercing they are looking at nor should the photo be so filtered that features are lost.
In focus is often a problem when photos are enlarged and cropped. If a photo is in focus but you then enlarge and crop it, it often becomes too grainy/pixelated to be able to see the piercing or problem clearly.
Well lit. Artificial lightning often causes a photo to be too dark and grainy/pixelated to show case the piercing well.
All photos need to be close up to showcase the piercing or relevant body part in detail. People visit Reddit through all sort of devices with various screen sizes. If you want advice on what facial piercings would look good on you or if you want to show off your facial set up, your face should take up at least 2/3 of the total photo height. If you want to show your navel piercing we should not be able to tell how big or small your waist is. If you have a question about your nipple piercings, you should not be able to tell whether you have big or small breasts. The only thing that should be visible of you in the photo should be the piercing or the specific body part you have a question about.
Of course cats can be featured in the photo, but don’t expect people to pay attention to your piercing then and don’t forget to mention the name of the cat.
Photography tips! Often the front facing camera of your phone is not as good as the back camera. To photograph yourself with the back camera, simply get a mirror. With some angling you can see the screen of your phone in the mirror and can then frame, focus and take the photo with the better quality back camera.
For well lit photos it’s best to take them during daylight, preferably outdoors. If it’s not an option to wait for daylight, get somewhere well lit, like a bathroom. Add some more lights if possible because artificial light may look bright to you, a camera needs more light. It might not do wonders for your complexion, but it's the piercing that matters.
Look up the minimum distance your camera needs to be able to focus. If you hold the camera too close, your camera may not be able to focus. If your camera has a " food photography" setting, use that because it tends to work well for things like ear piercings.
Poses should be neutral and designed to show off only the piercing. Instagram and other fun filters shouldn’t be used in photos. Poses should be neutral, so don’t show off cleavage unless your post is about your chest dermals. Don't post photos where you flip the bird, are smoking or drinking, are trying to seduce the viewer or we can tell where you are based on your surroundings. Don’t stick out your tongue in photo if you‘re not showing off your tongue piercing. If needed, simply take a new photo instead of the fun photo you send to your friend last night or the photo that would do well on a dating website.
There should be no nudity in the picture beyond what is necessary to show the piercing. If your photo follows the already discussed guidelines, then this shouldn’t be a problem. Your photo shouldn’t show any skin besides the part that‘s pierced or you have a question about. Want to show of your PA, that’s fine as long as you tag NSFW, but we shouldn’t be able to see anything else of your body. If you want to show of more, there’s nothing wrong with that, but there are subreddits for that, this subreddit is solely about piercings. And guys, put on a shirt before you take a photo
Credit the piercer and shop by name whenever possible, include jewelry information if you can There are amazing piercers that do great work. Especially if you are pleased with the work they’ve done for you, credit them. Amazing piercers deserve all the recognition and the publicity.
Do not include social media handles, shop website (links) or (self) promotion in either photo or text This one should speak for itself but we do want to specify that it doesn’t mean you can’t mention the shop name of where your piercer works.
Additionally, Moderators will remove posts when the photo(s) used in post don’t follow this subreddit rule. If we do that, you will receive a message explaining why your photo isn’t in line with the rule and an invitation to repost with a suitable photo. As moderators we do our best to assess all photos posted but if you see a photo that doesn’t follow the rule of this subreddit, or if you see any other content that doesn’t follow the rules of this subreddit, please hit the report button so we can assess it and take action if needed.
The advice we actually dislike to give, because it shouldn’t be needed. If you are posting a photo, especially of nipple or genital piercings consider (temporarily) disabling DM’s. Most of our community is awesome and wouldn’t even consider breaking the “no comments about appearance or sexual comments” rule even if it wasn’t a rule. Unfortunately that doesn’t go for everyone that will see your photo. Fun fact, sexualising someone without their consent is specifically against Reddit TOS.
Additionally, if you want to post a photo here because you would like people to comment on your overall appearance, body or face, then this is not the right subreddit. There's nothing wrong with wanting that, but this subreddit is strictly about piercings. Don't use having a piercing or maybe thinking of getting a piercing as an excuse to post here.
Worried because you are unsure if your photo follows the rule? If you want you can add “request check by mod” flair to your post and we will check it for you before your post goes up.
If you have any additional photography tips you would like to see included or if you have any questions, please send a message to the mods

2025.01.23 21:00 drunkensantaclaus Sewer line backs up until I open the clean out
Hey all. I have a home build in 1968. Cast iron plumbing. Keeps backing up and bubbling at the toilet when I drain the tub in the same bathroom. When I go outside and open the clean out I see the clog clear out and everything is fine. This has happened two times in the last week or so. I’m assuming something keeps getting clogged? I had a similar issue about a year ago and had companies out. Some suggested replacing the line under the house. Others suggested jetting it but said the pipe might fail if I do. I had it video snaked last year and they didn’t see any cracks or damage in the pipe but it had heavy buildup in some spots.

 | So when thrifting, I came across a portrait that instantly caught my eye. It's from 1805 and of an English nobleman named Richard Du Cane. I did a little research on him and apparently his family ran the Bank of England during this time.i bought it immediately. I have no idea where to start to see if it's valuable, but it's very interesting! Just having a 220 year old painting is exciting! submitted by DocWicked25 to thrifting [link] [comments] |
