If you think that’s rough, try watching CBS Sunday Morning.
I swear to god, that free show that airs on broadcast TV, must be one of the hardest currently running shows to stream.

Well, that & “Shaka Ilembe”

Edit: I say Sunday Morning is hard to stream, because the CBS streaming app repeatedly fails to load the right segment after a commercial break, starting the show over at the beginning; if you skip forward from there, it shows another commercial break after you try to seek. Our last viewing of this 90-minute show, took 3.5 hours.

Migleemo a’ Trois, in 3… 2… 1…

Huh… I just assumed the Andy Dick hologram was so much more pushy that it got the other one deprecated out of pettiness.

Hodor?

Dark Matter

What shit did I start? I agree 100% with the sentiment of this post’s OP: Teachers moving to corporate marketing jobs just to get a survivable wage, is a tragedy of first order. The people who do our societies most vital work are not rewarded anywhere near commensurate with the importance of their work; hence my reading of this post.

I was joking about needing 18650 cells as a point of reference for pricing… mostly. I really don’t have any sense of the prices of those other commodities you mentioned. Regardless, based on what you said, it seems like Australian teachers are better off than here, but still grossly undervalued?

And no, I hated the musical episode of Strange New Worlds because it wasn’t up to my expectations based on their invoking of Buffy The Musical, but I loved most of Discovery & Stamets is freaking gold. I didn’t really think they could top the engineering hijinks until Tig Notaro as Jet Reno was introduced. She’s a treasure.

I have had good luck finding what should be basic essential goods from overseas brands, when the major US brands stop making them. I was unironically, seriously, asking if you or anyone here could suggest a brand of jeans that still comes in loose fit black, as that’s literally all I can wear to work & need them for life as well. Sorry to derail the topic; I was leery of that, but Australia has good stuff sometimes so I figured I’d risk it!

It did lead to one, but he didn’t last forever, & again, I think it’s pretty hard to argue they were better off before than after.

Aw man, that’s just enough difference to make me notice.

Now I’ve got a weird question purely out of curiosity: Do you know of any makers of black denim cotton work jeans, in loose fit that isn’t stretch knit?

Wrangler & Levi seem to have decided that black jeans which fit over one’s thighs, are not important enough to make in all sizes anymore… ?

The French revolution is far from the most well-regarded outcome, & yet, I think it was preferable to no revolution, at the time… I agree that having a knowledgeable populace is essential to social stability.

I think I agree… but I’m sorry, I’m not used to using those items as a commodity value scale…

Can you express that as 18650 cells, please?

Aaaand the fact that a correction on this was even relevant… Oof

Dude… That would be so stupid yet so worth it.

Is it bad etiquette to link directly to the comic? I don’t see any other monetization on it; seems promotional?

Aren’t the TAS episodes literally the TOS scripts they didn’t get to do?
Notably “the soft weapon”…
(Are those Caitians? No, Kzinti!)

Anyway, given that it’s the original cast doing the voice acting, I like to think of TAS as “the rest” of TOS.
Star Trek TOS: 3 seasons
Star Trek TAS: 2 seasons
Star Trek TNG: 7 seasons
Star Trek DS9: 7 seasons
Star Trek Voy: 7 seasons
Star Trek Ent: 4 seasons
Star Trek Dis: 4 seasons
Star Trek ST: 2 seasons
Star Trek Pic: 3 seasons
Star Trek LD: ≥4 seasons
Star Trek Pro: ≥1 season
Star Trek SNW: ≥2 seasons

Hmm, what’s next? A DS9+Ent crossover show, to round out the “peak Trek nostalgia” lineup?

Personally, my pick would be to see a crew of scrappy Terrans find their way to the good lucky universe, rather than “Starfleet Academy” kids… We have Prodigy for that?
