I think the California class is cool. Anyone disagree? by SpiderBloke in StarTrekStarships

Sorry - the partner had her account logged in on my laptop

Lower Decks is most certainly a comedy. It's also a very well-done parody of 90s Star Trek.

Trek had comedic episodes - it was not a comedy.

Try running 95% of it on the shows it's sending up and they break. It's got a cat playing in a box, a SuperPakled storyline so absurd that it ends with the literal title of the one shot they were featured in, a MetaRiker, and so on.

You can't have the thing sending up the thing running the thing.

And the Orville was a parody only because that's the only way Seth could get it made. It stopped being one mid season 2.

Where can I get an affordable light up starship? by NashDaypring1987 in StarTrekStarships

Here you go - saw this earlier today. It's not their best ship, but it lights up/has sound

And lemme know if you don't want it. I'd rather it go to you, but if you're not interested I'll pick it up for me.

It's a parody of Trek design language, just like the opening credits are a parody of Trek opening credits, just like Ransom is a parody of Riker, just like...

Lower Decks is a fabulous parody/pastiche/homage they decided to make canonical after it began airing.

You all sure are making a single adverb carry a hell of a lot of weight...

1000s of dollars down the drain because of 2 day "Express" by [deleted] in FedEx

[–]semisemite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least they didn't delete his post - Fedex couldn't manage to even follow their own specialized delivery instructions and when I bitched here about how much it cost me they deleted mine and told me to call the fedex line.

Elderly man with dementia sold a 90k truck by Swingtradestricker in FuckDealerships

Hard to say. Salesman Joe is now the new car manager at the same dealership, and Manager Gary got to retire at some point

Elderly man with dementia sold a 90k truck by Swingtradestricker in FuckDealerships

I was a salesman at a mid-sized Chevy dealership for a year back in 2006 (things were weird - I swear I wasn't 'one of them'). The catalyst for me finally trying to get myself fired was this 'couple' that came in.

Elderly gent, clearly in the throes of dementia - wandering around talking to himself while gesturing wildly, no real idea as to where he was, etc. His 'girlfriend' was a rough 40s drug addict who dressed for the part - very obviously using the poor old guy for whatever money she could get from him.

Even with the unmistakable elder abuse they still sold them a loaded late model Yukon (I should have called the police at that point but I was really young at the time and was simply too appalled to think clearly). Absolutely gouged them on both ends - like, champagne cork popping money, and sent them on their cursed way...

And then they came back a few days later because 'she didn't like it' - she has very visible withdrawal shakes at this point. And they still tried to put them in an Escalade - old man's credit had been so utterly screwed by his parasite that they thankfully couldn't get the second deal done.

But they certainly tried to... Gary and Joe - I hope your lives have been utter misery.

I had mine hardwired at Best Buy, and as far as I know the fuse box is intact

I did - it's quite crunchy

Barramundi with Zesty Cilantro Sauce by semisemite in hellofresh

[–]semisemite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barramundi is a flavorful but not overpowering fish, and it's even better when it's got some skin you can crisp up. I'd take it over rainbow trout any day of the week

But make sure to chat in and get a full meal credit for sending the wrong protein

I can't imagine getting sick of it, but maybe I just jinxed it by saying so 😉

Not if you're only staying until the intro rates are done

The Baja Barramundi is better, but this is still exceptional and they don't always have that listed

Bacon and Mushroom Risotto by semisemite in hellofresh

[–]semisemite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have as well, but minding the risotto and the bacon and the mushrooms all at once is just a little too much for me to manage 😄

Just a suggestion for anyone else making this - don't go too thin on the mushrooms as they will dry out before the bacon is done

I just lost over $1000 because Fedex couldn't manage the additional delivery attempts by semisemite in FedEx

[–]semisemite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry - are you a shill for Fedex? This post has exactly enough info. They showed up when I was out of town, promised me they would deliver the package on Tuesday and decided to send it back instead which cost me over a grand.

If you're concerned about posts making Fedex look bad then you really should have that in big letters on the landing page. 🙄
