I only have vague memories of most of it from watching it as a kid, but recently my spouse and I decided to give it a watch one night and made it through the first 7-ish episodes. About half of the stories were "meh" but the other half were actually pretty good by TOS standards.
Mind you that's just the stories. The animation itself is definitely a limiting factor, and a lot of what happens is either very sparsely animated or they literally have characters explaining what's happening rather than fully animating the events. A weird upside of that is that most episodes are practically radio plays, and you can just listen to the audio and understand what's going on.
State of Nevada in my case, but I've worked with a lot of other state and federal agencies. Pretty much all of them are like that. At best their legislatures will get a wild hair and spend a bunch of money on some off-the-shelf "latest and greatest" product (not really, it's usually something like Salesforce) and they'll be top of the line for a few years, but when it comes to actually keeping it upgraded and cutting edge that never happens.
In all seriousness we make sure things work with modern browsers, but you're never going to find a government agency requiring the latest and most advanced tech. For one thing, nothing in government moves fast enough to make that even remotely possible.
Also there's no way I'm gonna learn how to use some new piece of tech every few months. They don't pay us nearly enough for that kind of effort.
EDIT: Oh but I wasn't kidding about dropping support for IE6 recently. It was like a year or so ago, not last week, but still.
If you want some quirky Britishness you might try Coupling. It was written by Steven Moffat, who you may remember as the head writer for Doctor Who during the Matt Smith era, and if you liked the humor during that run then you'll probably love Coupling.
This isn't a dispute over tax code or which Star Trek is better, this is a bunch of bigots declaring a group of people don't deserve to live and pretending they aren't awful bigots because they're doing it "politely". That's not a "viewpoint", that's a declaration of war.
Been watching a lot of Ordinary Sausage lately. Such absolute culinary insanity and yet weirdly wholesome.
On the more soothing side of things, Townsends' cooking videos are usually just plain nice, not to mention surprisingly tasty. Never would've thought "literally put an unpeeled onion in the oven until it smells delicious" would be a viable recipe but it turns out it's amazing. Also, Mushroom Ketchup rules.
I've made a few mods for games over the years that always make me feel a little happy when I remember they exist. Usually its the ones that I made for my own personal tastes that turned out to be things other people really liked, too.
They're replacing gold with "Community Points", which are of course built on THE BLOCKCHAIN and are specific to the subreddit, but also if you get enough you can have more direct control over the subreddit or... something?
Mostly it sounds like a thinly veiled system designed to let people spend money to buy influence over a subreddit. But hey, it's crypto-based so that makes it cool, right?

Damn, yet another cool thing kbin has that I didn't even know about.
I really hope more instances adopt this feature.
