First one is def interesting, but a little too chip tune for my taste (still cool though). Definitely liking the second one. Will check out some more of them. Thanks.

The former but will settle for the latter. Amazing description, BTW. lol

Black Mirror didn’t do that one, but American Horror Stories did:

Which is surprising because that show normally kinda sucks. Got roped into watching it last year, and I forgot I was watching AHS halfway through and almost thought it was a new Black Mirror.

It’s like we’re on a speed run toward the near-future Charlie Brooker warned us about.

But TBF, “Hang the DJ” was one of the few Black Mirror episodes that wasn’t a total downer.

For SNW, I don’t think it matters beyond preference. A few other comments suggest watching it before TNG, and that makes sense. Same for ENT, for that matter. I just lump it in with the TNG era since it’s also by Berman/Bragga.

I’ve seen those both on YouTube and at festivals. They’re pretty cool.

Personally, I don’t even like opening a can of biscuits because of the ‘pop’, so I don’t know how I’d feel about using one of those at home. lol

I do prefer to pan pop, but sometimes I’m just lazy and want to throw it in the microwave and only press one button.

I was late to the party, so my initial watch order was all kinds of messed up. I went DIS -> LD -> VOY -> DS9 -> TNG -> VOY (again) -> ENT -> SNW. Sadly, have only seen bits and pieces of TOS (and only GIFs of TAS).

Definitely recommend watching the TNG era in order: TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT and then doubling back to watch Lower Decks again (because why not lol). I also recommend watching Prodigy after VOY since it’s basically VOY season 8/9. SNW is a spinoff from DIS, so I’d watch at least seasons 1-2 of DIS before SNW.

Prodigy is a kid’s show, but please don’t let that turn you away. It’s pretty great.

Colloquially, it means we’ll hopefully stop seeing “AI” shoved into every nook and cranny of every piece of software to tick a buzzword box.

I stopped eating fast food during covid and never got back into it.

The one time, post covid, I was out and stopped to eat, it was gross. But it’d been so long, I genuinely don’t know if it had always been gross and I lost my acclimation to it, or if it was actually more gross than it used to be.

Anecdotally, I’ve heard complaints online that the quality has gone down while the prices went up, so it probably has gotten worse.

I did eventually learn that (read it somewhere), but by that point, I’d started using the air fryer. I’m also not above eating cold pizza straight out of the fridge lol.

Air fryer is the best

It really is. I was late to the air fryer game assuming they were just another kitchen gimmick, but once I caved to peer pressure and bought one, I can’t imagine not having one.

but I find it works way better with a reduced power setting and a little longer

I think that’s what the “Pizza” button on mine does. You can hear it kicking on and off at a weird cadence similar to but more frequent than defrost, so I assume that’s how it works.

Frying in a stovetop pan can work for hand tossed or thin pizza

I’ve never tried that, but we have baked deep dish style in a cast iron frying pan.

The pizza button works pretty well (I think it varies the power kind of like defrost does), but civilized people should always either eat leftover pizza cold or reheat it in the air fryer lol.

The only one I can really see is !statistics@lemmy.world but it doesn’t appear to be active at all. The only moderator for it hasn’t posted anything in a year or so.

Looks like some “if you build it, they will come” is needed.

Not sure of the procedure, but you may reach out to the LW admins to see about taking over the community if the mod is confirmed AWOL.

Mid 2000’s microwave. Has buttons for popcorn, pizza, potato, bacon, and beverage.

Maybe I’m remembering early/beta Teams with rose tinted spectacles, but at the very least the silver lining was that I no longer needed to keep a separate Windows machine running just for work IM.

I even tried adding it to Citrix, but it refused to install on a server version of Windows.

We used to use it before switching to Google Workspace (don’t get me started on how much I hate that), and Teams wasn’t too bad. But it had two things going for it then:

• It was replacing Skype for Business which never should existed because it was so awful. Compared to SfB, literally anything was an improvement.
• At the time, it was basically a Slack clone that didn’t have everything and the kitchen sink bolted on yet and was decently lightweight if you used the browser version.

The sound of a dog making the “uck uck uck uck uck uck uck bleeeech” gets me out of bed fast.

Update: Found the banner. Thanks, Wayback Machine!

Wait until you hear about the Windows file copy dialog.
