I think it’s like “vee-shee-swah”?

Just angrier and angrier all the way through

Hmm… maybe Zebra > Okapi > Giraffe?

This one’s my favorite!

Watching a playthrough of the God of War franchise: “who’s this Kratos guy, he seems like a bad-ass…”

Returns home, founds a new religion: “No, see, Ares IS cool and all, but I’m telling you, someone’s going to come along and beat his ass…”

I’m doing MY part!

“Michael Tuesdays and Thursdays” was funny, but also had some layers to it; a very complicated patient and his therapist, who is writing a book about his care - so not always totally objective, as he has something to gain. And then that therapist also sees a therapist (played by the late, great Ed Asner) who seems to be going senile.

It’s funny, sometimes sad, sometimes very sweet, with a good cast.

“Ssssss…”

Thanks for all the laughs Stamets - you a real one.

I hope your decision to stop posting is one of preference instead of necessity, but either way, be well my friend.

Never had the pleasure; but I’ve heard that he’s funny!

Haha she’s going “I won’t hit Jonathan, I won’t hit Jonathan, I won’t hit Jonathan…”

There’s just too much… between work, home life details, and trying to pay attention to the state of the world on 20 different fronts, I just don’t feel like I have the bandwidth to be like “gee, I’m going to pick up a new skill today!” I need that downtime to veg on the couch and look at memes, it’s way less exhausting.

Yeah, same! I thought I had a pretty good guess from the context, but “cold camera shoe” is a new term for me. Glad Lemmy has such a great community though, there are some awesome responses in this thread!

Not sure if this is what you’re describing, but phones like the one you pictured have a reversible tab for use if you mount the phone to a wall - if the tab is sticking up, it keeps the receiver from falling off the cradle.

Here’s a site selling them, but it has a diagram showing where it’s located:

@Stamets and everyone else who’s under the weather - feel better soon!!

Diabolical!

Oh fair, I didn’t think about that… I’d just always heard that the first was Shatner and Nichols, but you could be right

It’s so true… that lady was such a boss.

Theodore Sturgeon, Harlan Ellison, Jerome Bixby, and some other sci-fi authors all contributed to the first couple of seasons… TV’s first interracial kiss between Kirk and Urura… a third thing… We’d have missed out on a lot of good stuff if “Lucy” hadn’t insisted on producing the show!

Stamets, these Car Talk with Martok memes are the bee’s knees - it’s been a tough week and these have really been cheering me up. Thanks so much!
