This is quite a spin on the “you might be a redneck if” line. If you’ve done a structurally unsound, highly dangerous home renovation without any expertise, you just might be a Grover

Silly Burrito posted:And don't forget Scotty basically keeping himself stuck in a loop for 75 years and then being taken safely out of the beam. Transporters are magical. Yeah as soon as you bring in other episodes and series, the "they kill you" flies out the window, because there's episodes where people are conscious throughout the beaming process and have memory of the experience, which requires a different mechanism than being taken apart atom by atom and then reassembled an arbitrary amount of time later. It's just kinda fun though. swickles posted:One thing I like about Discovery is that they aren't afraid from addressing these types of things. It's a real different vibe for that show, enough so that a lot of people who love trek hate it, and I get that. But if you just abandon 100% of your expectations for what a trek show "should be", it's got some redeeming qualities. I really enjoy most of the acting and direction, scene design, etc., and some of the stories are pretty good too. Their take on the evil alternate universe is pretty chilling, too, which I appreciate.

It's so painfully obvious that no one was ready to even attempt what they're doing, so I'm on the side of just get shots in arms at this point. On the other hand my mom is supposed to get her second dose in a week or so and I'm already worried about tracking that down for her. It's not supposed to be a big deal, they'll call and have it ready to go in theory...but yeah. Hard to trust in this particular system.

I saw a comment in a local news comments section railing against opening the vaccinations to people 60+ when they were 70 and still hadn’t gotten it. I feel ya guy, but the number of vaccinations they had given out had been dropping over the past few weeks so they needed to expand the pool. We’re well past aiming for perfect implementation on this. I have no real expectations of being vaccinated by the end of May - we’ll have the doses available but it’s still going to take a long time to actually get them administered.

I love this guy - if you watch some of his videos it’s clear that he knows what he’s doing and is blowing stuff up for fun, but it’s a good bit.

I generally considered the transporter to be rather like the "phased cloak" in The Pegasus episode. You are locked onto from Point A, then "beamed" from A to B and your phased state returned to normal.

yeah, I'll never touch anything that involves live electricity in this house. I am way too stupid about home improvement stuff to ever allow myself to do that. Speaking of, my fridge stopped working on Sunday night. Luckily it was cool, but not freezing, so moved all the contents of my fridge to the garage, unplugged it and let it defrost. Turned it on in the morning and noticed it was working again, so something must've froze and thawed that fixed it? Either way, figured something else was probably up gave it a full deep cleaning yesterday, removed the back panel and saw that the thingy was entirely encased in ice. Duct taped a hair dryer off and on for an hour and put it back together and I think it's going to work for awhile longer. There was also some indescribable nastiness in the back / underside of the fridge. I am presuming some food fell down back there because otherwise it was like a liquified mouse or something, SO IT WAS DEFINITELY SOME LONG DISCARDED BROCCOLI. Hell yeah.

Yeah I'm sure there's a wiki somewhere that represents a hundred thousand nerd hours of star trek obsession but I'm not gonna go google for it ...I do lots of my own electrical work, but a prerequisite is definitely "don't be a clumsy idiot" and being able and willing to carefully read reliable instructions, stop when you are frustrated or confused or see something that doesn't look right, etc. is definitely important.

Because rape and drug addiction are completely the same thing.

Bill Maher makes me mad because he has a show that has republicans come on and get legit challenged on their bullshit by his more lefty guests, and he does a decent job of moderating those discussions, and then he turns around with some hosed up hot take like "actually islam is evil" or "let's all vote for hillary" etc. and his smarmy, smug face is just so immensely punchable too. He was also 100% correct about trump and took him seriously as a candidate way before almost anyone else in the media did, which he deserves credit for. My wife still puts his show on from time to time and I can barely stand to be in the same room with it. It makes her mad too but she still puts it on.

Given that all of America were calling the hijackers cowards, Bill Maher saying they weren't is actually one of the few things he was right about. That said, given he's truly gone full boomer, and his shtick is to say stupid controversial stuff and not get fired for it (I remind you he said the N-word on air), he's a lovely partisan hack and doesn't need to exist.

My parents watched Real Time a lot during the Bush admin while I was still in high school, because besides The Daily Show and Keith Olbermann, there weren't many TV shows that were actively talking poo poo about Bush.

Letting a progressive occasionally call out Ann Coulter doesn't make up for poo poo like spending half an hour letting Milo Yiannopoulis spout hateful bullshit about trans people for 20 minutes while nodding sagely.

My in-laws were watching Bill Maher when we were visiting and he had Bret Stephens on right after the bugbed incident. There was some story about Twitter and everyone's take was basically "lol who gets mad at Twitter, are you 14, how is that your deal" loudly and repeatedly while Stephens sat there visibly uncomfortable that they didn't know that that was exactly his deal. So it's only like 99.99% bad.

I thought Maher's remarks about 9/11 were more "Maybe America did deserve it because we're actually kind of lovely to other countries?" This is coming from unreliable memory of watching that episode of Politically Incorrect live when it all went down.
