This note by me is only because I accepted the impulse in my conscious-mind to view again the first episode of the 2004 tv-series "Stargate: Atlantis"
Never really cared much for that series - and its predecessor from 1997 - and I never viewed a single episode when it was active on tv. Tonight, I had a better feeling about it.
Decided to jump ahead. They are mingling in the Gate Room. John Sheppard needs a haircut.
They made it through, "Bon Voyage" from O'Neill and I remember an article about No Tab Pete from recently.
I make these notes only because I am a concerned citizen.
When I read that article recently, I thought to myself that if the dictionary ever needed an illustration of 'low-life scumbag' then it is certainly of Pete Hegseth:

KE'RA
Tell me of Linea.
DANIEL
Well, uh, basically, we met her on a visit to another planet, during which we were imprisoned, unjustly, and Linea helped us escape.
KE'RA
Surely there is nothing wrong with that, if you were imprisoned unjustly.
DANIEL
Well, she was imprisoned justly. It was only after we escaped that we learned this nice, older lady we thought Linea was, was in fact a very, very bad, older lady, who had committed terrible crimes.
KE'RA
What crimes?
DANIEL
She created a plague that almost wiped out an entire people. They called her the Destroyer of Worlds.

Female Student: George, have you ever thought of running for class president?

Shared that information *insecurely* not just with his wife
Shared that important information insecurely with his *third* wife.
Who knows where that woman came from.
Crybaby-in-chief Donald J. Trump could not even get a real USAmerican woman to marry him. So he hires and imports that weird-looking Classiest Broad off-the-street in crappy, little foreign country. Now her entourage of foreigners are reading the classified documents Donald J. Trump stole and stored in his mansions - financed with the loot from his scumbag daddy, Fred Trump, that scumbag war-profiteer.
Clearly, there's a guy cannot make good decisions for himself.

LEWINSKY 'KNEW' THEY WERE IN LOVE
September 22, 1998
Lewinsky's testimony is the most revealing. She was taken with Clinton's stature, his charm, and soon came to believe--truly believe--that Clinton was in love with her. "I just knew he was in love with me," she testified as late as Aug. 26.
Their sexual affair began, Lewinsky testified, on Nov. 15, 1995, after Clinton and Lewinsky made eye contact during several previous ceremonies on the White House lawn. On that night, Clinton invited the intern back into his office and asked, she says, if he could kiss her. She assented.
Clinton, his presidency imperiled, was obviously past whatever it was he felt for Lewinsky by the time he made his mea culpa. Not so Lewinsky. She watched, hoping the president would acknowledge their time together, her role in it, her loyalty. He never did.
"I wanted him to say that I was a nice, decent person and that he was sorry that this had happened because I--I tried to do as much as I could to protect him."

People don't use Facebook because they want to read a lot of stuff.
They just want to see moronic pictures and GIFs that make them for better for a few second of the clock about their pathetic and meaningless lives.
Me, I just remind them of why they hate their Boss.

'Internet van' helped drive evolution of the Web
Few have probably ever heard of it, but a broken-down van in California was a stepping stone on the road to the Internet as we know it. Photos: Computer History Museum celebrates the 'Internet Van'
November 9, 2007 12:32 PM PST
by Erica Ogg
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--If not for this nondescript, gray van with the letters "SRI" painted on the side, you might not be reading this article right now. Parked feet from the entrance of the Computer History Museum here in the heart of Silicon Valley, the vintage van is being feted at a celebration marking the very first true Internet connection.
The first Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)-based transmission between three separate networks--Arpanet, packet radio, and satellite--was made possible by the van, which was built by the research and development agency SRI International. It was driven for the first time on November 22, 1977. The same van was the key to the first packet radio network--that is, the first mobile digital radio network--a precursor to Wi-Fi and the other wireless networks of today.
Stargate Atlantis - "Rising" - season 1 episode 1, tv-series premiere 07/16/2004
(from internet transcript)
Dr. Elizabeth WEIR: Alright, here we go. We are about to try to make a connection. We have been unable to predict exactly how much power this is gonna take and we may only get the one chance at this, so if we are able to achieve a stable wormhole, we're not gonna risk shutting the Gate down. We'll send in the M.A.L.P robot probe, check for viability and go. Everything in one shot. Now, every one of you volunteered for this mission and you represent over a dozen countries. You are the world's best and brightest; and in light of the adventure we are about to embark on, you are also the bravest. I hope we all return one day having discovered a whole new realm for humanity to explore, but as all of you know, we may never be able to return home. I'd like to offer you all one last chance to withdraw your participation.
(Some of the expedition members look around at each other, but nobody moves. Weir smiles, then looks up to the Control Room.)
WEIR: Begin the dialling sequence.
(She walks off the ramp as alarms sound and the Gate begins to spin. As Sheppard checks his equipment, Sumner walks over to stand beside him.)
SUMNER: Let me make myself clear, Major ...
DIALLING TECHNICIAN (from the Control Room): Chevron one encoded.
SUMNER: ... You are not here by my choice.
(Sheppard smiles ironically, rolls his eyes and speaks without looking at him.)
SHEPPARD: I'm sure you'll warm up to me once you get to know me, sir.
SUMNER: As long as you remember who's giving the orders. (He walks away.)
TECHNICIAN: Chevron two encoded.
SHEPPARD (to Sumner's departing back): That would be Doctor Weir, right?
O'NEILL: Doctor Weir, you have a go.
WEIR: Thank you. Sir. (She turns to leave the room.)
GATEROOM.
SUMNER: Let's go, people. We don't know how much [ power ] we've got. (He starts to walk up the ramp, followed by some marines.) Security teams one and two, you're up first. All other personnel will follow on our signal. Once on the other side, keep moving, clear the debarkation area. On my lead.
WEIR: Hold on, Colonel. (Walking into the Gateroom while zipping up her jacket, she picks up a backpack at the foot of the ramp, then walks up to join Sumner.) We go through together.
SUMNER: Fair enough.
(He walks to the top of the ramp with a couple of other marines, raises his P-90 and aims it forward, then walks into the wormhole. Sergeant Bates and another marine follow him, their weapons also raised. As another marine enters the wormhole, Weir stops at the top of the ramp and looks back. In the Control Room, O'Neill nods to her. She nods back, then turns and steps into the wormhole.)
(In the Control Room, Sumner's voice comes over the radio.)
SUMNER: All clear. Looks good.
(O'Neill leans down to speak into a microphone to the Gateroom.)
O'NEILL: Expedition team. Move out.
At the other end of the wormhole, Sheppard steps out into a darkened room. The marines who already went through are cautiously checking out the area. Directly ahead of the Gate is a flight of steps leading up to another floor. Somewhere on the upper level, which has balconies overlooking the Gateroom, some lights come on.
SUMNER: Teams one and two, secure the immediate area.
(Behind Sheppard, we see the Stargate. It appears more modern than the Gates we have seen in the Milky Way: the symbols around the Gate are illuminated from within and the chevrons are glowing green. Sheppard turns to look in that direction as some more marines come through.)
(Back at S.G.C., the scientists begin walking up the ramp, hauling or carrying their equipment.)
(On the other side of the wormhole, the marines are still checking out the area. In a corridor off the Gateroom, a marine walks near to a closed door, which slides open automatically. Sumner looks at this in surprise, then turns back towards the Gateroom.)
SUMNER: Everyone else find an open space and park it until instructed otherwise.
(Weir stands in the middle of the Gateroom, gazing around the room. Sheppard and McKay head towards the steps. As Sheppard puts his foot on the first step, the stairs light up.)
WEIR: Who's doing that?
SUMNER (into radio): Security teams: any alien contact?
MARINE 1 (over radio): Negative, sir.
MARINE 2 (over radio): Team four. Negative, Colonel.
(Sheppard reaches the top of the stairs and turns to walk into a room full of consoles. The lights in that room come on. He turns back towards McKay.)
SHEPPARD: The lights are coming on by themselves.
(The two of them walk into that area. Downstairs, more members of the expedition team come through the Gate. Upstairs, McKay lifts a sheet covering one of the consoles as Sheppard walks over to the balcony to look down into the Gateroom as the last members of the team come through the Gate.)
SUMNER (to Weir): That's everyone.
(Weir turns towards the Gate and lifts her radio to her mouth.)
WEIR: General O'Neill. Atlantis base offers greetings from the Pegasus Galaxy. You may cut power to the Gate.
(A champagne bottle rolls out of the Gate and across the floor. The Gate shuts down. Weir picks up the bottle and looks at the label attached around its neck. It reads: Bon Voyage! General Jack O'Neill .
