Pretty soon we’ll be pining for the old days when movies used CGI instead of AI

Many interactions on mastodon are like:

Me: Wow, my microwaved popcorn was too hot and I burnt my tongue!

Responder A: You could maybe put the popcorn inside a bucket made of ice to quickly cool it.

Me: I don't want to do that and I also don't have any buckets made of ice.

Responder B: A bucket of ice can be made by putting water between an inner form and an outer form and freezing it.

Me: Ok, but I don't want to do that and it would also take many hours to freeze the water. I am eating popcorn right now.

Responder C: Liquid nitrogen will freeze water in as little as a few seconds and can be purchased at many welding-gas suppliers

So I grew up watching Star Trek: the Original Series, the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager... and the movies up to Nemesis and Star Trek.

I rewatched them as an adult, and watched the hugely underrated Animated Series for the first time, all in order.

But I never made it past Enterprise... about Season 1 was the last Trek I watched.

So I'm about to rewatch Enterprise, then move on sequentially until I've watched every series and film!

I'm really looking forward to seeing Picard!

Wait, wait, hold up a second.

I just found out that lemons are not a natural fruit but a deliberately cultivated hybrid between citron and a bitter orange.

Guys! Life didn't give us lemons we made them ourselves!

@SecularJeffrey That would explain the weird, viscous black fluid all of my electronics are oozing, and why my cats are chanting curses in Ancient Sumerian.

I heard the planet Mercury is in Gatorade or something like that.

Today I started the gradual adjustment of doggy dinner time. Fifteen minutes early today and then a few minutes earlier each day until the time change at the end of the month. Their tummy alarm clocks are pretty accurate but they don't know about DST.
