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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I can see it. There are a lot of writers and directors who care about faithful adaptations, lore and canon. Studios just aren't hiring them. They hire production studios with a history of poisoning franchises or hire people with the right connections but no experience because they're cheap, easy puppets. Both "shit-in = shit-out" scenarios have happened so often now it seems like they do it on purpose.
Without contagion into our markets I have no easy way to make money from their suffering. If this had happened in Jan/Feb when US and Canada banks were exposed and unprepared and I was holding puts hoping Evergrande would default then I would have been laughing all the way to bank. Now though it's just meh, unless you guys know of some exposed losers in the US to exploit?
Gratz mate. Glad to hear it.
Gonna watch it when I eat lunch in a few, I expect it to be bad too. Will report back.

Lady that's not a "drawer" that's an arsenal. But hey, you must be fun to date.

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

So no dates for the Mainhoes?

I think my stuff is pretty varied (or at least different than your examples):

What is something you find exciting and interesting? Why not make a subchan for that topic to encourage more posts you'll enjoy?
You're gonna make me start busting out the Star Trek memes now.

Bruh I think you've been doing it wrong.
Is your TP made of gossamer?
Sadly it looks like Kabosu has the same issue https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/28/asia/shiba-inu-doge-meme-seriously-ill-leukaemia-intl-hnk/index.html
Seeing a lot of Monero maxi's lately. Weird.
