Linseed has an awfully low smoke point though, wouldn’t seasoning built with it burn off when trying to cook at higher temperatures?

I use mint btw

I remember really liking Encounter at Farpoint when i was a kid

Rewatching it more recently, I realized Diana’s “PAIN! I FELL PAIN!” was her sensing the audience’s reaction to the horrible episode

Like… It had a single episode worth of good episode in there but they left the other half in that should have hit the editing room floor

ETA: I had to look up what season 5 episode 2 is, and yes, that’s an excellent representation

I’d argue that the second pilot of the original series, “Where No Man Has Gone Before” is also a excellent overall introduction to Star Trek: cerebral rather than action oriented, the focus on the people and their relationships both with each other and their own humanity, asking questions of the audience to make us think, solid message (“absolute power corrupts absolutely”)…

But definitely skip the original pilot, The Cage, in its standalone form. Watching that, we were damned lucky it didn’t get shitcanned fully right then and there

Nice, anti homeless and anti disabled all at once (lack of streetside seating makes getting around challenging for mobility limited people)

One beatle at least still does shows… At least, last I heard Paul was still touring, maybe he’s retired by now though

Especially considering how much of today’s culture can draw a direct line to their influence even now

I like them, they were a pretty important foundation for my taste in music. I didn’t really get the hatred of them that seems popular of late, I can’t help but feel like at least some of that is just people following the trend, but it doesn’t change my enjoyment of it.

Does them being popular somehow make them worse? I don’t understand this take… What’s wrong with liking what you like, without regard to what others like, either way?

I dunno, if every time I hear a band it feels like nails on a chalkboard to my very soul, I think saying I hate them is perfectly valid without requiring any actual effort beyond trying to get that music to stop while I can hear them and wanting to discontinue conversation about them

Hate doesn’t have to be any more active than avoidance

Indifference, on the other hand, implies not caring that the music is playing

John Lennon was always my favorite

The more I learn about him… The less I like him…

True

People going on about how much electric cars suck are usually shocked when I agree with them… And moreso when I point out that they suck because they’re still cars, and that’s not a conversation the anti-EV crowd is ready to have.

Also, goes into the old “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” mantra which it seems nobody understands is ordered that way intentionally as that’s the order they should be implemented. Reducing usage is by far the most effective tactic for positive environmental impact or environmental harm reduction.

They just get to “recycle” and see that they can change pretty much nothing more than putting trash in a different bin and figure that’s all they need to do. Even though it’s a really poor overall impact.

Because they didn’t feel like going to lunch? Was it mandatory? If so, were they going to get paid for it? And for the gas to come in just to have lunch?

Your first psychologist was awful. Holy hell, nobody should have to deal with that from the person who’s supposed to help when already struggling with depression.

For me, exercise always feels good afterward, but I always dread it anyway… So I’ve not done it in forever. Maybe I should try just walking…

I’m glad you found something and someone that could help you

Honestly, if I printed enough to warrant it, I’d go for that Epson… But I stick with my color laser because it’s over ten years old and I print so little it still has the starter cartridges in it, ink would have dried out so many times during that period

Gotcha, good to know!

Yes, the difference is that instead of it being firm or soft depending on if you use cold or hot water (respectively), it has a firm side and a soft side that remains that way regardless of water temperature.

At least, that’s my understanding, I’ve never tried a scrub mommy

I knew it! nginx is the holy webserver.

Two examples I’m aware of for that last part, I believe, are the TV shows House M. D. and Quantum Leap. For House, the intro music in most places you can find it has been replaced by the music in the end credits, and with Quantum Leap, i think a number of songs on the show have been swapped out due to rights and licensing

I’m not 100% sure on either of those if my memory is correct or the reasoning matches, but I do know there are other examples

It’s one coffee, Michael, how much can it cost? $100?
