Starting from the beginning is the absolute best, in my opinion. The original series is so much fun, and as much as I love TNG and others, I know that nothing will come close to the cultural impact that the original had. It was prime time, mainstream, and riding the energy that the country had for space in the 1960s, with a message of hope and cooperation. That being said, prepare for a decent mix of goofiness too, lol.

This is my favorite interview Conan has ever done on his podcast. I’ve watched it a few times.

(…to the Star Trek fandom. We’ll get you eventually.)

The captain found a nice sunbeam and took a casual 14 hour nap.

I should clarify that I meant safety rounding at intervals, like was the case with Epstein. He was on Q30 rounds, which were the ones falsified. It would’ve been basically impossible to falsify a true 1-to-1.

This is unfortunately very common even in hospitals. Busy (or lazy) staff just check off their rounds without actually seeing patients all the time, so I think this is 100% plausible in a jail.

Hide & Seek?

The real reason why we couldn’t keep both Sega and Playstation

Wizard of Oz maybe?

I remember a physics prof saying that it’s still a type of acceleration, yeah.

They’re still cities, but people tend to start calling them “rural” when you get a certain distance from the big cities and things spread out, often also near farmland and/or nature.

For example, this would probably count as rural.

Somehow this is hard to google, so sorry for linking to reddit, but here’s a thread where people are discussing it.

Those old cartoons really didn’t hold back, huh?

The boy?

I don’t imagine quitting the internet, but I can picture the internet fracturing into smaller sites with resistance to AI through obscurity - sort of similar to how we DO get occasional spam bots on Lemmy, but it largely isn’t worth bad actors’ time to target this platform.

Either that, or larger platforms with some sort of verification process, but that seems like a losing battle in the long run.

It’s been many years, but I remember a neuro professor back in college explaining that aspartame breaks down into phenylalanine, which competes with the precursor for serotonin to transport across the blood brain barrier. So effectively by having higher levels of aspartame in your diet, you can indirectly be reducing how much serotonin your brain can produce.

Honestly, same. It’s just harder to make jokes about life being amazing.
