There was this officially licensed Star Trek tabletop starship battle game that I got to play a couple times in the eighties and no one seems to remember it but me. Wish I could find a copy. I remember it being a blast.

I could rattle off a whole list of TRS-80 Model I/III or Apple ][ games that no one has ever heard of, but I'll spare you.

Thanks for the much needed laugh! Can only speak for myself but I think it's clever of you to post this here. ๐Ÿ‘

Rachel of Rachel & Jun made some for her cats. Her DIY stuff tends to be more helpful than most IMO since it's not just "I made this thing" but "here's all the crap that went wrong while I was making this thing". https://youtube.com/watch?v=Me587OYbyRk&t=215

Fermented you say. How does that impact the flavor?

What's your favorite? I really like The Reanimator from justcoffee.coop. โค๏ธ

I've dabbled with Death Wish but I'm not as young as I used to be. Afraid it'll make my heart pop. ๐Ÿ˜†

I think by "mileage" Indy meant less "distance traveled" and more "use" or "wear & tear".

Coffee is my favorite tea. ๐Ÿ˜†

Sadly, just can't stand the stuff anymore. Grew up having sweetened iced tea for dinner every night. My wife always keeps different varieties on hand and I've occasionally tried different combinations of hot and sweet and milky. For my money, nothing touches a cup of joe. Give it to me black and bitter, like Dick Cheney's original heart.

I feel this. It's not the years, honey. It's the mileage.

I'd make it unlawful for any entity including the U.S. gov't to profit from the suffering of others. This would, of course, immediately crash the economy. Suffering is our leading export.

Consider crack cocaine as a safer alternative.

Thanks for asking instead of down voting me!

This is what bit me. Hadn't used the handset for a while. Ran updates and did a factory reset. The only fix is mainboard replacement, which our pal Google won't do for out of warranty devices despite it being their fuck up.

Another, apparently unrelated issue:

If you want your phone to be permabricked by the manufacturer at some random point in the future, it's hard to beat a Google Pixel.

 

Upside down. Seems like this will impact hundreds of entrepreneurs in the state.

 

A classic. ๐Ÿซก

 

I found this in a Tourister video: https://youtu.be/2xGOPO65kWk?t=10657

 

I went into this highly skeptical. I've probably at some point made a derogatory comment about Gwyneth Paltrow. Now I'm wondering if we should all be steaming our vaginas.

Edit: You guys are a hoot. Thanks to those who saw my point. If you didn't, then that's cool too. I'll check back later.

I found this little guy in a VIRTUAL JAPAN video: https://youtu.be/EnmtIxjEw7Y?t=858

 

I was thinking instead of a /r/lostredditors that makes fun of bad posting choices there could be a community that could allow more experienced users to offer advice on the best community to post in. Maybe something slightly silly like...idk, /c/fedditorsearchparty?

I've had need of something like this more than once. For instance, I saw a cool little statue in an HDR walker video on YouTube recently. It was cute and made me happy and I wanted to share it, but I had no idea where to post it. There are so many communities across so many instances now.

Does this sound interesting or helpful? Or maybe something like this already exists!

Thanks in advance for your input. Have a nice weekend!

Not new to the Fediverse but new to Lemmy. I've noticed that after viewing a post, navigating back does not restore the vertical scroll position on the previous page. This is happening on latest stable Firefox for Android, but not on FF desktop 123.0. I tried searching but I only found this (not sure if this is even the right project):

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1551

Anyone else having this issue on Android and is there anything I can do to mitigate it? Clearing the cache did not change the behavior.
