Star Trek has lost another beloved member of the family. Actor and singer James Darren, known to fans for his recurring role as Vic Fontaine in Deep Space Nine, has passed away at age 88.

RIP James Darren

James Darren died on Monday, September 2, 2024, at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, where he was being treated by the cardiac unit. The news was confirmed by his son Jim Moret, who told Variety “He was a good man. He was very talented. He was forever young.”

Darren began his career as an actor, appearing in his first film (Rumble on the Docks) in 1956. His first big break was a key role in the surf-themed hit movie Gidget in 1959. He also sang the film’s leading song, making Darren a “teen idol” with a parallel career as a singer with dozens of singles, including two Billboard top 10 songs. He also released several albums starting in 1960; his latest, Live! for The First Time, came out in 2019.

    They are pretty similar, but this one is much less involved than a real CNC. A lot less moving parts

    I've been really into this

    It's a musical retelling of The Odyssey

    Also if you want mixed drinks without alcohol, there's a handful of non-alcoholic 'spirits'. Ritual Zero and Free Spirit are the two brands I've tried and they are alright. They don't have a TON of options, but they have some gin and whiskey alternatives that are fun to play with.
  • Varine Varine:
    I got a couple bottles to make some mixy drinks around holidays when I mostly want to drink, they aren't exact replacements but they are surprisingly close.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ended up with some hop water things that I really like instead for when I want to feel like I'm participating
  • Varine Varine:
    I just got moved to unsupervised probation, so I can get away with drinking a bit now. I technically am not supposed to, but I don't think I get checked anymore. I really want to smoke weed but it scares me

    Happy Wednesday! I am not feeling it today, my teeth are bothering me, or the fragments that were left behind are coming up and it is extra painful today. Don't ever let them tell you that getting full dental implants is easy. They have to pull all your teeth to do those and apparently they are not very good at getting all the teeth out all the time.

    That is true with Dentures too. I am taking the day off and working from home. The big difference is though, I am not drinking anymore so I have a nice tea and coffee regimen set up :)
  • Varine Varine:
    I wish i had a 3D scanner
  • Varine Varine:
    That would make what I'm doing SO much easier
  • Varine Varine:
    I guess I could just take a picture of it and then use that as a reference. I have a circuit board with some weird holes I can't get measured right
  • Varine Varine:
    Oh I got a Klipper mod for my big printer! It comes with a bunch of parts and I don't totally understand what it does but apparently it's way better than Marlin, which is I think what it currently runs
