Ohhhh yes, that makes perfect sense, thanks!

think of Yoda in Star Wars or some decades later ALF on TV

Not a big deal, but in curious when you think both of those were made, Alf was 9 years after a new hope, and 3 after return of the Jedi.

Bean quality makes all the difference in the world. From there it’s mostly a matter of not fucking it up as far as I’m concerned

But yes, the first time I tasted what coffee is supposed to be, absolutely life changing.

Putting strange new worlds above TOS is inconceivable to me. S1 of TOS alone has several episodes well above the best of SNW (Corbomite maneuver, city on the edge of forever, Balance of Terror). Though there’s also a decent amount of poorly aged material… pretty much agreed otherwise. Also, I agree they should watch SNW, just not in lieu of TOS

Sure. And I don’t have that setting enabled personally, but I am careful otherwise and I tell my family members who don’t know better to keep it on.

Main three? Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, and Sikhism are all bigger than Judaism.

It’s really great for remembering the names of things so that you can look them up. Completely worth burning the earth for….

Yes, and additionally if I’m reading this correctly, this attack would only work for people whose security settings are to run any signed code from trusted developers. One of the standard options is trusting only App Store distributed code for which this attack would not work

Because clearly they were taken within seconds of each other

While I can get speedups for rapid prototypes where the code doesn’t need to be good, just mostly working, to get actually good code it’s inevitably significantly faster for me to write everything than to fix what an LLM starts.

I miss HyperCard.

I listened to it exactly once, but it was live

Seems like you can’t disable from the web? I’ve never used a Gmail app, always used via imap. Fucking hate having to download an app to turn this off. Not my primary email address, but it is my secondary. Should change that…

Since the 2024 election I’ve been constantly wondering what the event would be that should trigger all out riot to restore democracy. The answer I always come up with is cancelled/sham election.

Is this really the second most common? I would put the SS lightning bolts, imperial eagle, and iron cross above this. I didn’t recognize this as a nazi symbol when all this broke, and I have seen are we the baddies memes

I haven’t really played V, but other GTA games I just treat like arcade games where I start by stealing some car and try to stay away from the cops and steal bigger/cooler shit for as long as I can without getting caught

I… didn’t know until today that something could hurt me more than when my wife cheated on me.

Not actually that far away from my list. I understand putting TNG that high even if I disagree with it. TOS being that low is pure blasphemy, though

I watch TOS relatively frequently, watched a few episodes the other day. It’s a really fantastic show, more great episodes in the first season than some other shows have their entire run. The Spock/Kirk/McCoy dynamic is as special as it has ever been. Pacing is slower, which I like, and even a lot of the mediocre eps do a really nice job setting up a mystery that they actually solve.

There’s also a lot of truly awful eps, and highly outdated bits, but a great show.

Also, much like Janeway I don’t appreciate being called sir, ma’am will do in a pinch. (I know Star Trek was trying to be progressive by using sir universally, but I find it mildly sexist)

And I agree, it hurt to put Voyager as low as it was, the doctor’s rendition and alteration of la Donna e mobile was as brilliant as you state, but still had to put TNG higher, so many great episodes.
