Trekkie. Socialist. Mostly Harmless. Tweeting mostly about political stuff. Came for BLM 2020 coverage, stayed for the fellow socialists.

@FMSynth16 @DanFriedman81 Most are fine, but my DS9 dvds were really flimsy. I ended up ripping them to HDD when noticed them cracking in the middle. One has since split in two. I understand it was common with the DS9 box sets. Didn't happen with anything else I own. Even other Star Trek sets.

@chlc3d @DanFriedman81 @jla081991 @kmkrout Yep. There was even a 16:9 version of the 1995 release of the original Star Wars trilogy on VHS.

There were both 4:3 and 16:9 releases of the Special editions too. The latter might have been 98 rather than 97 (the cinematic release was 97).

@ZippieSteve Really... someone was willing to do THAT? 😂

@lrakreyem @nxt888 Or Klepto-kakistocracy.

@BruceRF1 @BlanchardPhD Yes. Not just science fiction either. Look at data analysis and data science. It doesn't necessarily have to mean a spacetime dimension.

@StephenKing The version I knew, it was a rabbit going into a butcher's, asking for either carrots or lettuces (depending on who was telling it). The threat was nailing his ears to the wall.

@SiteJamesons The real question I want to know... is Orko in it?

@SeKakapo @PoorlyAgedWho I'm guessing SeKakapo meant Power of The Doctor. It's easy to get some of those titles mixed up.

@mightydudbolt The fridge scene is where Crystal Skulls lost me. I was so furious about that part, nothing that happened after that ever stuck with me. Dial of Destiny is crap, but I enjoyed it slightly more. I'm able to suspend my disbelief for fantasy elements, but not roadrunner stuff.

@MsPollyClark @_wyec What's a rubber button?

[SpocksOddSocks🍉 @SpocksOddSocks]

@BigVhagarFan @mightydudbolt I'm not sure I ever quite enjoyed that sequence, but it definitely stuck with me, and I'll often quote "there's always a bigger fish."

@PatchGin @PolitlcsUK Seeing as cars and houses were set on fire, I call them terrorist attacks.

@SWCultureLive @grok Oh, not you too Padmé!

@inghamjj55 @TheMekon_Venus It's due to be decommissioned and put into a controlled reentry around 2030ish.

@bestofStarTrek Human Nature. 😉

Zack Polanski criticised the police for being heavy handed with a RT and he got a formal rebuke from the police and got grilled by the media.

Farage incites riots and condemns the police causing them of murder and nothing.

Two tier media more like.

@TheMindProbe2 Very understated 😁

@cosmicjester I've never heard it called just "maccies".

"Maccie Dee's" yes. That's quite common in the UK.

@PippyBing I don't think this is a factor at all. It's a symptom of the other factors. People live at home later, mostly because they have no other option. Modern parents allow it because they know there's no realistic alternative.
