Academy has the best elements of every single series to date.

Objection. I've seen very little professional behavior from anyone except maybe the Doctor and the Commandant, and of course Admiral Uncle. Some leeway can be granted, given the setting, but it's something I very much miss from the TNG era.

For what is worth, they are doing a much better job of it. It's never gonna be my favorite trek, but it's not bad.

My wife, who is a Trek fan for the past 15 years or so, likes it. She didn't care for Picard or Discovery.

Unless you're a MAGA influencer. Then you get evacuated.

Isn't that the guy that played Unicron?

I'll admit outright that I'm just not interested in most people.

But I'm terrible with names, even with the people I am interested in. I can tell you all kinds of things about a person, just not their name.

It's kind of bizarre.

I mean, as long as you don't lose the stick, the rest of it is just frozen water. Uncomfortable, certainly, but I'd be amazed if you could make it to the ER before it melts.

I got Councillor Troi for my ship computer. Good times.

It's important to note that this specific Nazi is a US Senator, though. Helps illustrate how deep the rot goes.

In this case, I'm referring to the description it had during and before WW1, "the sick man of Europe." I'm not 100% clear on what happened, but it was collapsing on itself, and wound up fracturing.

And I see your point, since I didn't specify a time period. For a while, they were serous badasses.

I think things could get better, if the democrats take back power, and then display a level of virtue and resolve they we have never seen from them in the history of ever.

I think it more likely that we become the Ottoman Empire.

the whole political system will lose its credibility

I think that ship has sailed.

Our government isn't quite a case of Trump's word is law. And it was only two years ago that we had a nearly functional government. When Trump finally does the only good thing he will ever do, we have something to fall back on.

Naked Prisoners (startrek.website)

Is there an easier way to get clothing for a prisoner than drafting a pawn and having them strip in the cell before walking naked back to the cloths storage?

 

Has anyone here participated in the Fairborn Community Gardens in the past? I'm trying to get an idea of what the "normal" approach is, and what the general expectations are.

 

New to this whole Lemmy platform, but I'm liking it.

One problem I'm having is auto-play videos when I open some discussions. Not in the comments, but the post itself starts playing.

I'll skip my usual rant about what I think should be done to whoever decided to make that a feature, and just ask how to turn it off. I have "auto expand media" unchecked in my lemmy settings.

I appreciate any advice.
