UPDATE: Comic found! I was totally misremembering this as a three panel comic where thery're in bed. Which explains why I could never find it! https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1992/02/23
Quick question for The Internet.
I seem to remember a Calvin and Hobbes strip where they're in bed and Calvin asks "what's the meaning of life?" Hobbes responds "to eat each other...Goodnight!"
I can't find this anywhere. Was it real strip?
This song from the late 70s, about events from the early 1910s, suddenly feels very releveant in 2024.
And the music is good, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFOieRHRzh8
@zx3 - One of the hills I will die on is that TMP is the most Star Trek of Star Trek movies. It's the only one that is really hard sci-fi with a lot of Star Trek spice mixed in (the others are Character Drama In Space, which isn't bad, but isn't TOS).
When I saw the movie with the cast and crew, my +1 was someone who had never seen the movie before, and she loved it.
The main issue I had was how slow and boring it was, and the director's editions are proof that editing can make or break a film.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Also: thank you for the postcards. :)

You should go watch it. It's very good. I'll wait.
Guess who (digitally) regenerated?
The Zelda avvie in Resonite was always just a placeholder until I found something better. After a friend figured out how to darken my skin, and get longer hair, I stuck with the Zelda avatar a bit longer.
I found an avvie I quite liked a few weeks ago, and downloaded it. She was a bit...curvier...than I expected...and after applying all the textures, needed to skin tone tweaks to look more like me. And Once I put the sweater on her, her figure toned down more to my liking. Still would prefer the more slender Zelda figure, though....
I need to remove the talon fingernails in Blender, but otherwise, I'm pretty happy with the new body. I'll miss the Zelda one, but that's Zelda, not me. This is closer to me. :)
@socketwench @ami_angelwings - Is sour cream in pancakes a midwest thing? I've only ever seen it in Gene Roddenberry's Pancake Recipe. And my goodness, these things were DENSE.
@Neige - The secret is waking up just a few minutes before....
Did you know if you have a SodaStream machine and you accidentally add more carbonation to it you get a Mentos & Coke style soda water geyser?
ASK ME HOW I KNOW!

My heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of actress Patti Yasutake. Fans will forever cherish her portrayal of Nurse Alyssa Ogawa on “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” Personally, I’ll remember her as a dear friend, whose sister was the late Irene Hirano Inouye, a founder of the Japanese American National Museum.

@JustOneMoreThing - I try very hard not to think about age and just be genuine to myself as I feel.
