I looked it up and still don't get it (shrug)
@AceCuddlerMike - That's a multimeter used for electronics. It's measuring resistance. "Resistance is Futile" is a line from Star Trek.
LOL Never watched it. Well one....one episode ever....was called the Trouble with Tribbles
Does amusement not resulting in laughter count?
I already knew I'm a nerd. And Star Trek: The Next Generation is one of my favorite TV shows.
Next gen is the best of them. The characters in the show are pretty incompetent sometimes though which is too bad.
I'm a non-nerdy Star Trek fan so even though I've never used a multimeter, I got the joke.
My Dad used his G.I. Bill, after WWll, to go to school to learn how to repair televisions, at the time a relatively new gizmo. He had one of these, so Yeah, I got the joke. Oh, also a Trekkie season 1, episode 1.
OMG!!! @littermate That is the bestest thing I've seen in days!! Lol!
I'm glad I didn't get it.
Subtle on the meter setting, took me a moment. 👍
I was reminded of the sarin gas attack in Tokyo, after which it was reported that members of the Aum cult ( pronounced as Ohm ) were captured "without resistance".
I offered such a piece of equipment to a colleague at work, saying, "There's a nice young lady here. Do you want a meter ?"
Did not know there was a Star Trek reference but did guess it was a device to gauge/test something and found it futile and thought that was funny
Captain Picard would be glad to see we are taking precautions.
I got it because I'm more... human. If you didn't get it, you will now be assimilated. 😜
😂 I am amused (in my by best Seven voice) - Finishing up season 7 of Voyager now.
Contemplating my navel over this one
Ha ha, that is awesome!
Next Gen all the way. I’m watching all the reruns trying to find one episode. Y’all remember an episode where an alien woman had the ability to bond herself with one other person for life? Once bonded she would become the perfect mate for that partner. She ended up bonding with Picard even though she knew she would spend the rest of her life with someone else.
Yup
@quixotic_life glad you liked it!
@ebnb totally remember that episode, Picard was quite the ladies man in TNG. I’m excited to watch him on the new show Picard, I snuck a peak and there are quite a few characters from previous ST’s who make an appearance- Data, Troi, Riker among them.
@Sunny_Ezri I have been searching for awhile to find that episode. It came to mind after all these years. Glad to hear you remember it. I hope I come across the episode again.
Yes, Picard...swoon. He’s the only much older man I have been attracted to. Excited to hear about the cameos. I’ll prolly order cbs all access for a month just to see the show 🌱
Join the resistance!
@ebnb it's called The Perfect Mate. Season five episode 21.
Trois Ohms.
That's the French Resistance.
Lol, I laughed. Im a nerd
