Same, so I gain my minimum sustenance to work for my overlord employer and pay my "well invested" taxes to the government who grants me this quality of life. How could my landlord live if I'm greedy and eat too frequently or varied.

Sorry to hear, I do sympathise. I hope things get better for us. I'm still figuring out how to pay my new 30% rent increase this month after five previous rises this year already...

They were shot on negative 35mm film, and edited on tape in that aspect ratio.

Only some odd scenes and shots were captured on tape, but it was mostly film. They won't need to upscale any live scenes, but they would have to work on rendering all the digital effects and blue screen shots for example. As it was only ever edited on tape, it's unlikely that the digital effects could be ever rendered or upscaled, it would probably need to be entirely reworked from scratch.

Very daunting task. Although, they did it for TNG. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Someone pointed out the obvious in a reply. Yes, of course they will need to be scanned for a better resolution scan. I already pointed out it's on film, and even mentioned why it's not just that simple. (Hence the digital effects needing to be redone).

Makes sense....

Good to see KSP2 still being regularly updated.

Not had experience with it, I suspect performance has improved somewhat?

It was indeed that, I'm guessing the missing mass of both of them must have been stored in the buffer. :)

Really good acting for Tuvix, must have been hard to only have one season as reference for the actor to mimic and merge both their behaviours and personalities.

Only watched that episode again yesterday, I did enjoy it. It was pretty cute that they both felt no shame for it naturally happening. But I feel they lost an opportunity to make something more happen as a consequence of travelling such speeds. Could have been a little cooler! :)

I've just watched Tuvix and it hurts to ignore how they produced two individuals with their memory intact and from DNA that surely is incomplete. I have to suspend my beliefs of course, it is a show I want to enjoy.

Though, I was very stoned and tired and probably missed someone's psuedo science star trek explanation.

I've been enlightened.

Go to Wilko, see what tat they still have left over from closing down.

It being good value at a huge discount is still not guaranteed.

If I'm walking in a lake waist high to avoid brain amoebas, you'll get the joke.
