Disregard. I'm retarded. This whole time I thought that setting controlled the default POST sorting order. Comment sorting inside of posts respects settings. The post order just doesn't persist still. My bad for the goose chase.
Great old cheesy adaptation that movie was. Bronson Pinchot chewing all the scenery. The langolier FX are dated AF but the concept from King's story still holds up as a spooky way of imagining how time works.
I never root for American companies to fail but as a vanlifer my mind immediately went to all the box trucks that'll be auctioned off at rock bottom price because of this.
Friend's mom bought him a used car, just needed oil. He drives it for days without adding oil and siezes the engine ruining the motor leaving him with no car having wasted thousands of his mom's money.
Same friend wanted to cut down a tree branch for no reason. Branch landed on and wrecked the fence in his back yard.
Two different teams have confirmed two different hallmarks of superconductivity (Meisner Effect and 0 resistance) but no team has yet recreated both effects at the same time at room temp or higher. Optimistic take is that no team has yet formulated the pure sample of LK-99 required due to it's chemical make-up and the ratio of compounds being difficult to get right and the pessimistic take is LK-99 is just diamagnetic with some superconducting properties but probably not the holy grail. Time will tell who's right.
LK-99 is the supposed room temperature ambient pressure super conductor that's Nobel-Prize-worthy big if true. The race is on to replicate the original experiment and fully verify the claims that LK-99 is a true room temperature superconductor. If LK-99 holds up, expect some futuristic tech to emerge afterwards along with lossless power grids, levitating trains that put current maglev to shame, faster, smaller and more efficient computers and more accurate medical imaging tech. Could even be the key to fully unlock fusion energy. So y'know, no biggie.
Ok, just finished it. IMO the only people who will like this episode are people who love musicals or shows like American Idol.
I'm someone with the potential to like a musical, I loved the Buffy The Vampire Slayer musical episode and still revisit some of those songs some 22 years later (I'm not adverse to belting out a mean rendition of "Sweet's Song" in the shower). This episode though very rarely escaped the cringe zone IMO, Nurse Chapel's song was the only standout as it had a melody that wasn't derived from the stale template of modern pop music. Overall though the biggest emotions I felt through this episode were boredom and cringe. It really dragged at certain points.
As far as the story of the episode the musical-ness is explained by the excitation of an "improbability field" near the ship then Uhura and Spock tried transmitting music at it. A bit of nomenclature that continues NuTrek's tradition of ripping things off by ripping of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy's "Infinite Improbability Drive". Really the explanation of this whole thing was just some bullshit to make singing, dancing Spock and Kirk happen. I know I'll never rewatch or re-listen to any part of this cringefest ever again. This one was strait up painful to sit through.

The futures market works in mysterious ways.
So no dates for the Mainhoes?

Excellent work on the front page fix, all the sort orders work as expected now. Many thanks your efforts are much appreciated.
>Subchans decide what the default order is of posts/comments.
Default Comment Sort in Subchan Settings still doesn't work. For instance I set it to "New" in all my subs and they still sort as Hot.

Drop down menu under an icon? Also any thoughts on the filtering the subchan list?
I'm on Desktop, not there for me.

If true then yeah. All the future tech stuff would be years down the line though.

The study above is one of the first to successfully reproduce a portion of the original findings and they expect more to come. A great article on LK-99 here: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/scramble-to-validate-superconductor-breakthrough-confirms-zero-resistance-with-a-catch
Lady that's not a "drawer" that's an arsenal. But hey, you must be fun to date.
The front page is missing both a link to the Discord and a link to the list of subchans. Bet a lot of folks don't know either exist.

Gonna watch it when I eat lunch in a few, I expect it to be bad too. Will report back.
