Literally my life the last decade. I truly wish I was joking. Or being sarcastic. Or even exaggerating. I just got out of the hospital from overworking myself to the point of needing surgery to survive, after a layoff.
It's just about the most depressing feeling in the world. 🥺
This is sick. 🔥
Carlos Gaines aka "Tyrone Stark" built a 40,000-volt plasma cannon out of scrap metal and old car parts.
This is a working flamethrower with high-voltage arcs blasting pressurized butane into a wall of liquid fire that'll melt anything it touches.
Turning junkyard parts into a functional arc weapon is the kind most people need a lab and a budget to pull off and he did it from scratch.
This man better file a patent fast. And he better watch his back. Because building a functional, tactical weapon in your driveway is a quick way to get the feds knocking on your door to investigate.
Hey, Amazon. If you think a new Stargate series won’t perform well, consider that fans continue to religiously watch episodes from 20+ years ago.
My wife and I have the Blu-rays in constant rotation and usually watch an episode every night. We’re in the middle of our 21st marathon (currently SG-1, Season 6, Episode 4 - Frozen). Not a week goes by without Stargate playing in our house. Our daughter has watched it countless times and knows the intro music by heart.
Stargate has seen us through good times and bad. Rain and shine. Elation and heartbreak. It has a quality that hasn’t been available on television in decades. It will always be part of our lives and that’s a testament to its greatness and why it should live on with new episodes that preserve the spirit of the original.
You want a hit? Rethink the absurd decision to cancel the new series with the original team. Give them what they need to do their work. Then release it and check the numbers. Afterwards, remaster the original Blu-rays in 4K as an anniversary edition and release it alongside the new series.
You will be met with the enthusiasm of a fan base like no other.
Take a chance on this team. Take a chance on the fans. You will not be disappointed.

Meta is still having some minor security problems. Instagram is currently exposing phone numbers and email addresses associated with accounts when trying to perform a password reset
This is cool and badass because everyone is sharing Mark Zuckerbergs phone number right now
Cox internet went out again last night. Third night in a row. I pay them to fail, apparently.
Fine. I'll just play something on my Xbox Series S I keep in the bedroom before bed.
Couldn't play a single game. Not one.
Everything downloaded, installed, paid for, sitting right there on a console I own. Locked. Because some server couldn't confirm it was my "home Xbox."
I have NES carts older than the internet. Blow on them, drop them in, they boot. No login. No permission. No begging a company to let me play what's mine.
Modern gaming isn't progress. It's a leash. And most of you are defending the hand that holds it.
I started watching SG-1 at age 15. I was the first in the family to start, but one by one they all joined me. Then one day, even my Dad joined. NOTHING on television held my Dad's interest. He never went to the movies. It was the first time I'd ever connected with him in this way. Not long after he started, he came home one day with the first season DVD box set, and the whole family started watching from the beginning. He kept buying the sets, until we caught up with the currently airing show, and then we watched like clockwork as a family every Friday night, with pizza and soda.
You have to understand, that is a CRAZY thing to type out about my Dad. He never did stuff like that. He was tough to connect with about something that wasn't mechanical or construction. I can't think of a single other fun thing he did with us that wasn't what a kid would consider "chores" or "work." My siblings and I treasured those Friday nights like nothing else. It was an entirely new experience, having something like that where he would quote the lines to you in the middle of the day (Teal'c lines were his favorite, especially the infamous "undomesticated equines" line).
My Dad has been buried for almost 8 years now. My oldest two kids barely remember him and the other two never met him. We recently watched both SG-1 and Atlantis as a family. It's been an emotional ride, sharing this with them yet wishing Grandpa was around to share it with them too. My kids ADORE Stargate. My girls have crushes on Daniel Jackson and John Sheppard. My youngest son wants to BE Jack O'neill. They cried when Daniel ascended the first time. They were over the MOON at the idea of a new series in the works to enjoy. I haven't had the heart to tell them the news that the whole thing has been called off.
Save Stargate!
Stargate Command has a message for you.

In light of Amazon's recent terrible decision to destroy the new Stargate series, with original writers and cast, which was made into 17 seasons and is considered one of the great sci-fi TV shows of all time. Here is the amazing Stargate SG-1 Intro Sequence.
I'll never skip this intro. I used to hum it as a kid. #amazon #stargate
Fifteen years without Stargate and the fanbase hasn't forgotten about it whatsoever. Don't think we'll ever forget about cancelling the show we were promised.
COMMANDO (1985) is ’80s action cinema distilled to its purest form. Bigger explosions, bigger one-liners, and Arnold Schwarzenegger at full movie-star power.
