    The uniform pull thing (The Picard maneuver) didn't start in the beginning. The first uniforms were a single piece with elastic pulling all the way from the shoulders to the feet to keep everything nice and smooth. The tension from the elastic was causing Patrick Stewart lots of back issues and he fought hard to stop using them. They got new uniforms starting in the second season without the elastic but that meant they bunched up when going between sitting and standing. Stewart would do the tug to flatten it out so it had clean lines (which is what the elastic was doing originally).

    I have seen (in my limited experience) that used enterprise drives can be sold by inexperienced resellers without being wiped and decrypted and it can cause all kinds of issues. I think it was Seagate constellation drives with SED (Self encrypting drive) tech the last time I saw it happen. There was a tool you could use to decrpyt them and then be able to format them properly. That may be why a simple format doesnt get it working but using a tool to completely strip the drive would work. Hopefully that helps!

    Your black wash is most likely to thin. Sometimes you just have to add a little more paint and try it on a test piece and then add a little bit more until you have a result you want. Also black washing that much surface area is going to take longer than you might want for video to get right. Some time you also have to do 3 or 4 layers to look good.

    • @mromutt
      @mromutt Рік тому +1

      it also doesnt work very well on super smooth stuff unless you get it just right (like professional skill). As for the size of the work area, you can put it in a spray bottle and just keep spritzing it letting it build up in all the crevice then wipe it down. But a good rule of thumb I think would be the smoother the surface the thicker your wash needs to be and the rougher/more porous the surface the thinner it can be depending on what kind of effect you want. Also if you need to use it really thick its fine because you can literally wet it down then wipe :) Weathering is a pretty cool process, I learned a lot of it watching adam savage

    Watching the cable management and all I can think is that some of the tricks and methods from the early-mid 00s could actually fit a Borg cube theme. For example, the corrugated plastic split wire loom would actually fit. Heck, I saw computers back then with those plasma lights and a green one is actually in a Borg cube.

    I bought CherryTree's other Star Trek Case, a more standard case that has tempered glass front and side panels, and an interchangeable acrylic LED-Lit Star Trek graphic on the front. I highly recommend it for any Star Trek fan that doesn't have the money for the Cube. The only complaint I have with them is that I bought their "House Branded" case fans, (really just cheap UpHere RGB fans with CherryTree sitckers on them). The Red and Black CherryTree logo clashes with the look of the system, and the fans themselves are very loud. If you do order a case from them, spring for the better fan options, or supply your own.

    I miss cube PCs. I have a Thermaltake Core V21, used it for a long time and I love this case. The option to position the mainboard vertically would make even more sense in a modern PC with super heavy GPUs. I mean... most servers and mining rigs go for vertical mainboards for a good reason. And all the cooling area protected by actually good magnetic dust mesh.
    Sadly I need something that fits at least a full ATX, because I'm going for dual GPU on my next deeplearning workstation. Would love to go for a (bigger) cube or vertical cube-ish case again. But there aren't any with modern tooling that fit a modern system and offer good modularity or convenience. I can't even find any modern case with easy to remove external dust mesh which was one of the most convenient features introduced in the last 10 years...

    1:04 I don't know know if this like this today, but historically, women of royalty and nobility had servants who would dress them. Because people the overwhelming majority of people are right handed, zippers and buttons were placed on the left side of women's garments so they were on the right side to the servants dressing the woman. Men, regardless of status have traditionally always dressed themselves, so buttons and zippers are on the right.
    1:06 The US and UK were both using the imperial system when America gained independence. During the early years, America wanted to establish its own way of doing things and largely ignored what Europe was doing. It was during this time that Europe adopted the metric system. America kept using the already established imperial system, but there have been a few attempts to convert later. Americans, being Americans, have rejected the change every time.
    I was surprised to hear that the UK is planning to ditch the metric system and return to the imperial system of measurements. Apparently, since Brexit, the UK wants to do its own thing kind of like what the US did when it was celebrating its independence.
