    That's really a key point. Transitioning from a world where Dan Quayle got eviscerated for 'potatoe' to a Trump presidency (or Johnson, Berlusconi, Putin, Abbot, AfD, blablabla) has left scars and certain needs when it comes to entertainment.

    Reverse that polarity on the deflector and match the harmonic frequency. Mmmmm.

  • School board is the lowest level of government that I've observed narcissistic nazi psychopaths. Well, the lady at the counter at the driver's license place, too. But she's not elected.

  • I ran Klingon fleets on STO for so long that part of me identifies as tlhIngan. I own a bat'leth. I thought it was the bomb. ;)

  • I've found the past few years that I haven't been aware of significant dates as they approach and pass by. Hiroshima day, Pearl Harbor day, Kent State day have all surprised me recently. Not sure if it's getting older or a sign of how ridiculous shit has gotten.

    Bwahaha! I have stolen your comment!

  • Ezri does better in the books than she did on DS9.

  • The potato comment reminded me that I learned about Polandball through Reddit, which was a lot of fun. Reddit also taught me that I can read more Dutch than I had any right to expect, which has provided hundreds of hours of hobby fun-time enjoyment.

  • Nice.

  • In fairness, it could have been the lobby of an actual hedge...

  • This comment is so 2019 that I forgot what COVID was.

  • Quick, boys - blast "Anything Goes" into it!

  • Nice.

  • Hague train station, I'm guessing?

  • Anybody else think he's gonna pull a Blackwater and keep rebranding every time he gets in trouble.

  • I'd guess, in context, it's a floating point price column that hasn't been set, and the table designer didn't specify the column to be NOT NULL.

  • Zoomer MAGAs with gay friends/relatives feel like a blister just waiting to burst.

  • I really hope it doesn't get removed, because while jokes aren't always appropriate, this particular joke is, like, essential.

  • Oooh, do the other members of the nightshade family now: peppers, tomatoes, potatoes....

  • I've been using kbin and startrek.website's lemmy instance since the blackout. Kbin had server issues the first few days, but has been dead solid - with the exception of the occasional upvote bug a few people mentioned - ever since. The lemmy instance has worked great. There were some usability improvements sorted out in 18.1 a few weeks ago (mainly the ability to sort by top articles from the last 3, 6, 12 hours) that helped it a lot.

  • The vertical drive makes me think that's a TRS-80 Model II right there:

    It sported 80x25 text [monitor] and a single-sided 500 KB 8" floppy drive, and either 32 or 64k of RAM, along with two RS-232 ports and a Centronics-standard parallel port.
