Geordi, in the bottom-left pane.

I'm an American, and I agree. It's not so much the American cast, but the tone shift that came along with the move to Netflix.

Brooker via https://movieweb.com/charlie-brooker-responds-to-black-mirror-criticism-netflix/ :

"Arguably the happiest [episode] I've ever written was San Junipero and I just did that off my own back. I was aware we're going on a global platform now, so we've got to make these stories a bit more international. And I wanted to mix it up a bit, as in not just keep doing bleak-a-thons."

That said, "San Junipero" is one of my favorite episodes. Probably because, at the time, it was the rare happy ending.

But at the end of the day, it's still a great show that wonderfully extrapolates current tech trends into varying "10 minutes into the future" dystopian scenarios. Sometimes we need to think everything will work out. :shrug:

By Grabthar's Hammer, what a bargain.

Help is on the way. An ambulance will be at your location shortly.

This was the first Crichton novel I read, and it got me into his other works. Most of them have the common theme of:

1. There's a secret science place where science happens
2. At event causes people not normally associated with the secret science place to have to go to the secret science place
3. The secret science at the secret science place goes horribly wrong
4. The secret science place blows up in the end

That formula doesn't really detract from any of his books, but I did laugh when I had read enough of his catalog to see the pattern.

I checked out the linked post and the community rules for UO. One of the rules is "Defend your position" and you didn't do that. Like, at all. You just threw out a blanket statement in a rage-bait way (which can also be seen as trolling).

To borrow a phrase from another community (where this post probably belongs rather than in General Discussion): YDI.

PS: I checked the modlog. It was a 3 day ban - a slap on the wrist. Get over it.

PPS: Looking at the modlog for that post to see what comments of yours were removed, one thing became very clear: You are very much NOT the victim here. The post wasn't why you were banned. In fact, the post is still up, so clearly that wasn't the problem. It was 100% your attitude and completely abominable behavior in the comment section.

Frankly, a 3 day ban is generous from the mods. If I was a mod and you pulled that in one of my communities, you'd have been shown the door permanently.

As long as Lennart Poettering isn't anywhere near the line of succession lol.

Had to shrink the font a bit; looks better all on one line.

I had the same problem - the correct size blinds I bought were broken and had to return them and could only get a set that was 1 inch shorter 😠

Ended up moving the mounts slightly inward so the gaps were on the edges. The two smaller gaps on the sides were a lot less noticeable than the gap in the middle. Also ended up putting curtains up to cover the edge gaps, though it wasn't strictly necessary. I keep them pulled to the side, and they're purely decorative / to hide the edge gaps.

I'm covered in Dorito crumbs and looking for a good laugh

Stealing this for my Tinder profile.

Now all I want to do is invent a blended cocktail called "Kernel Panic".

"Unexpected item in bagging area. Help is on the way."
