Wasn't he introduced with a story of pulling off a miracle to escape the Gorn? Or am I not remembering properly?

Right, that's "speaking figuratively." There are rules for that.

But a word that means the opposite of what it means is not a useful word.

I'd hate to find a box in my lab marked "inflammable."

If anyone wanted this information, they could just post a bogus job, and people will just send them the data.

The current administration is making Humphrey Appleby seem a much better option.

Trouser Python. Technically true, and no-one is going to check.

Maybe there's a reason we prefer tenure civil servants who don't have financial interest at odds with their job?

I was thinking this myself.

I think this is going to backfire as it increases competition for attention and audience

Same thing with streaming. There was a golden age, briefly, before everyone decided to make their own.

I don't think 29 year olds are millennial, are they? Or is this an older meme?

Because we have YouTube videos instead.

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.

Autoplay Videos (startrek.website)
 

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.
