I'm beautiful and tough like a diamond...or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • Start on TrekLit! Seriously...join me; you'll (probably) love it.

    I started with "A Stitch in Time" because I've wanted to read it forever, and now I've gone through that plus two trilogies and am on 4 out of 5 books in the "Star Trek: Picard" sequel/interquel series.

    Hard copies might be difficult / expensive to obtain since many of them are out of print, but ebooks [dot] com has most of them available DRM-free if you've got an e-reader or don't mind reading on your phone. A couple of the newer ones are DRM-only so I had to buy them and high-seas a DRM-free version lol. From what I've noticed, it seems like the publisher doesn't release the DRM-free version until 5 years after initial release. So, ethical piracy is my solution to that.

    Here's some gems from the one I'm reading now (ST Picard: Firewall). It's about Seven's time with the Fenris Rangers

  • Oh, snap. This meme and the reply to it are how I learned Barbara March died in 2019.

  • I was on a Pat Benatar kick a few months ago. This may have just reignited it. Thanks?

  • Ha, thanks. It was inspired by this post.

  • Deaf people also have a lot more experience compensating for / adjusting to the loss of that particular sensory input.

  • Lursa. She's always the one with the jowly scowl.

  • I've logged countless hours in Skyrim, always keep Serana as my indestructible pack mule, and cannot believe I've never once noticed that lol.

  • Yes. In many jurisdictions, it's illegal to use any kind of headphones while driving.

  • Please tell me they have to give me a paper ballot if I ask.

  • He does, just not in the I guess fan art one I grabbed for this.

    But if the wipers rotate 360 degrees instead of 180 back and forth, does that make them tassels?

  • Is Optimus Prime the original "boob windows" ?

  • Yeah. I read a bit more since I commented, and Alton Brown doesn't just approve - he actually helped design it.

    The cost of those is definitely why I still have a mono-vection oven haha.

  • I'm not a fan of single-purpose appliances (microwave notwithstanding), and I recently got a toaster oven / air fryer / grill (so no microwave) and I love it. Haven't used my full size oven in the 3 months I've had this one.

    The "Trivection Oven" (as seen on 30 Rock) is a real appliance, and includes microwave heating as one of the 'vections. I believe the microwave heating is just to speed up cooking with the thermal and convection heat for crisping.

    Are they a gimmick? Honestly, no clue. I've not used one, but the logic checks out and Alton Brown approves.

  • To be fair, #32 is just me.

  • Because if we don't build and profit from the Torment Nexus, someone else will

  • It's very likely I'm mis-remembering the BTS stuff, but I always thought the whole reason they wrote her out in S4 was to feature her in ST: Academy. I'm assuming now that was either never correct or something majorly changed.

  • Bryan Cranston kind-of? He had some minor movie roles before television and then larger movie roles after.

    Will Ferrell, technically. Plus most of the other SNL actors who started there and did films later (though many of those were based on SNL skits). Tina Fey, though, plays it straight. She started as a writer, joined the cast of SNL, and did TV and movies later. Granted, I wouldn't call any of them "movie stars".

  • GoTG: Vol 2

  • "Poor"

    Oh, I'm sorry to hear that!

    "No, I mean pour."
