Michael Ironside in his younger days. I would have loved to see him as a Trek captain in the style of his Starship Troopers character, ie a grizzled, take-no-prisoners leader, but would do anything for his people. Sort of a Lorca kind of captain, but Michael Ironside.
Make me miss my old Siamese derp. He used to sleep in the most ungainly positions ever, all legs dangling and splayed across each other. Here's to you, Hanky Plank.
He had no time for any of my nonsense, and blanked any of the catty attract noises I tried to entice him with.
I think there might be some sarcasm going on there given the tone of the post, and the fact the upshot of it was to propose a vote on whethe the rules should be changed post-reopening to only permit pictures of "John Oliver looking sexy".
So some people out there have clearly been successful in persuading their instance to connect to Kbin, as if I browse "All" there are some kbin.social hosted communities (or "magazines", as they call them). But I've had pretty limited success myself, at least from Jerboa.
Can anyone suggest a workflow whereby I can find and subscribe to Kbin magazines that are not already showing in "all"?
Was he singing for you the song of his people?
"Let's boogie"
Although perhaps I'd change it if my bridge crew stood up and started funking on down, rather than taking the ship to warp.
The last time we tried to get the internet to seriously decide on something we got Boaty McBoatface.
And lo, the Internet looked down upon it's handiwork, and verily, t'was awesome.
All posts in these (business) subs can be advertisements, perfect.
And nobody will ever go there. And, two years down the track, u/spaz will hoik up the pricing or cut them off entirely because they're making money off of a non-profitable Reddit. "We want to work with the business subs but they're not interested in talking to us and have all thrown their toys out of the pram and shut down".
But the phased cloak had problems, and is is seemingly a dead end for the ability to fire while cloaked.
Why? Wouldn't a photon torpedo immediately pass beyond the phased cloaking field and then immediately return to normal phase? Assume a phaser beam would the the same.
Unless we're saying there's no "field" as such, but the entire mass of the ship is altered and thus any projectile would still stay out of phase beyond the ship. If so, couldn't a torpedo have an integrated "rephase" module added? Problem solved.
We need to know: is the belly a trap?
By the power of editing clarification I shall smight thee in twain.
But for the record this is all cracking fun.
"alright geez, giz a skone"
"Good evening my good man. My name is Lord Ponsonby Smythe Smythe Smythe. Could I trouble you for one of those skons?"
Works both ways.
Edit: my friend, who I am currently drinking pints with, says "skon is more northern but posh and scone is more estuary".
And he's an expert and a cunt (his own description of himself).
But I am common as muck. I haven't met an H I haven't dropped and I'm proper Bermondsey and Millwall. And it's a "skone". In fact the only people who call it a "skon" in my experience in deepest darkest Saaaaaaaf Laaaaaaandaaan are posh cnuts.
Spock has a cat. Your argument is invalid.
I'll bite.
It's a "skone". Clue is in the fact it's spelt "scone", ie just substitute the K for a C. It it was a skon it would be called a scon.

Those are fediverse toilets. If you shit in one of them it will be available in the other one too.
Hi all. Have tried on a few different devices, but I am struggling to sign up to lemmy.world. (My current instance is a bit hit and miss with pulling in non-local posts), and the talk around the communities is that lemmy.world seems to be the most stable instance.
I fill in the sign up form, hit the button and get the swirly progress spinner for ever. If I look in the browser developer console, I see a "websocket closed" error (although it does then follow up with "websocket reconnected").
Does anyone have any suggestions?
