Lemming > Chihuahua > Honey Badger

Just angrier and angrier all the way through

Hmm… maybe Zebra > Okapi > Giraffe?

This one’s my favorite!

Watching a playthrough of the God of War franchise: “who’s this Kratos guy, he seems like a bad-ass…”

Returns home, founds a new religion: “No, see, Ares IS cool and all, but I’m telling you, someone’s going to come along and beat his ass…”

“Michael Tuesdays and Thursdays” was funny, but also had some layers to it; a very complicated patient and his therapist, who is writing a book about his care - so not always totally objective, as he has something to gain. And then that therapist also sees a therapist (played by the late, great Ed Asner) who seems to be going senile.

It’s funny, sometimes sad, sometimes very sweet, with a good cast.

Yeah, same! I thought I had a pretty good guess from the context, but “cold camera shoe” is a new term for me. Glad Lemmy has such a great community though, there are some awesome responses in this thread!

Not sure if this is what you’re describing, but phones like the one you pictured have a reversible tab for use if you mount the phone to a wall - if the tab is sticking up, it keeps the receiver from falling off the cradle.

Here’s a site selling them, but it has a diagram showing where it’s located:

That’s why I’m only adding the names of my sworn enemies and people I owe money to!

@Stamets and everyone else who’s under the weather - feel better soon!!

Oh fair, I didn’t think about that… I’d just always heard that the first was Shatner and Nichols, but you could be right

It’s so true… that lady was such a boss.

Theodore Sturgeon, Harlan Ellison, Jerome Bixby, and some other sci-fi authors all contributed to the first couple of seasons… TV’s first interracial kiss between Kirk and Urura… a third thing… We’d have missed out on a lot of good stuff if “Lucy” hadn’t insisted on producing the show!

Stamets, these Car Talk with Martok memes are the bee’s knees - it’s been a tough week and these have really been cheering me up. Thanks so much!

Yeah, and back in my day it was rock music, and Dungeons and Dragons

Hahaha put him in his captain’s uniform and it’s virtually indistinguishable!

Haha it’s true - Q even makes a wisecrack about Riker’s beard, at one point!

I hated him in the first couple of episodes too; but when TNG started, I felt like everything was overly dramatic. Picard bellowing out heavy-handed soliloquies, Worf growling and gnashing his teeth, Riker swaggering around pretending to be Kirk from the old days… things settle down pretty quickly though, and the characters become less two-dimensional.

As for Q specifically, he’s not around a whole lot, but he makes an appearance or two per season maybe. He ends up more curious about humanity than being adversarial against humanity, but he still sometimes just throws a monkey-wrench into everything for his own amusement or to test a theory, once in a while.

Stick with it, it’s a really good show.
