What's a band that has one album that is just about perfect in your opinion, but rest of their discography misses the mark with you?

One of mine is Commit This to Memory by Motion City Soundtrack. I basically took the title verbatim and know the album word for word. And while I would love if it did, the rest of MCS’s stuff just doesn’t hit the same way....

The fruit comes from the mommy part.

Oh boy, what a comment section.

I recommend getting Mirin (sweet rice wine) to add it to soy sauce dishes.
Those two are the main ingredients of Teriyaki sauce.

Sony A7C with Tamron 28-200 lens. Looked out of my bathroom window, and saw it. Went to get the camera and fired away.

More things like Star Trek?

Over the last few years my family and I have binged all of Star Trek, then moved on to Star Trek adjacent shows like The Orville and Stargate. At the moment we’re not really watching anything sci-fi. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for similar shows (or maybe some books) that fill the void left by Star Trek. In...

... (or maybe some books)...
.

Then how about the Bobiverse series? That should fit the bill perfectly. Even has a Riker! I'm a big fan of the audio books.

And definitely Project Hail Mary as a one off.

And maybe Expeditionary Force. That one is a bit much militaristic for my taste but I got to love the audio books anyways.

What about dct?
There's no torque converter.
Those are often starting less smooth in my experience.

I once had a VW Transporter with torque converter that always rolled backwards slightly. (Only very slightly) It appeared that it disengaged the whole torque converter while stopped. (The rpm "relaxed" after stopping.) That was a bit weird.

(dontfeedthetrolldontfeedthetrolldont.. ah, damnit!)
The torque converter is usually always engaged, always wants to go, while holding the brake. As soon as the brakes are released the car starts rolling forward.
With the VW T4 that didn't work as on other cars since the torque converter was disengaged while stopping.
So the driver had to change to the accelerator more quickly than usual, if starting uphill.
Otherwise, since the torque converter engaged only a second after releasing the brake, the car would roll approximately 5cm backwards before going forward. (If starting without any accelerator input.)

@zout No. Green, Yellow, Red, Red+Yellow, Green...
There. Are. Four. Phases.
After Yellow always comes Red. (At least in Germany)

Damn it, you just made me buy overpriced but awesome rubber duckies. (Q and Worf)

I read that in Worfs voice.
I'm having trouble imagining Worf doing the sfx.

But they are not. Those are called f-holes.

I wish I could use a stylus on my phone. When I edit photos, my fingers are less precise to hit the right spots.

I try to avoid the dedicated shutter button on my Xperia because the force it takes to push it makes it less stable than the slight touch on the display.

A Star Trek Voyager mug. That was the first time that a girl (my first girlfriend) took the time to go to a store and get a present for me. (Star Trek goods weren't easy to find in Germany.)

Does the app not work on android in general?
Samsung Galaxy note 10 plus and Sony Xperia 1V: just a swirly circle. With or without vpn, it doesn't connect to anything.
