None of the Bond movies are serious, they're all clearly campy and fun movies. Timothy Dalton is the closest to the Bond of the novels.

The Orville had some genuinely good episodes that told a great message.
I pulled out of my parking lot at work, blinked, and suddenly found myself half way home with no memory of how I got there. I was so freaked out I pulled over to check my car for damage (there wasn't any). My route home involved a highway and several stop signs and lights at very busy junctions, goodness knows if I stopped for any of them. Drove very carefully the rest of the way home and swore never to drive tired again. I'd just pulled a 14 hour shift, and had a newborn at home so wasn't getting much sleep to begin with.
XFS, the default filesystem in Red Hat, is older than NTFS. Released 1994.
I'll say this, the previous admin of one of the Linux servers I support set up RAID-0 striping for the main data slice (must have been dropped on their head as a child or something). Two drives, and one of the drives developed bad sectors, but I was still able to recover 95% of the data before it shit the bed completely. So, XFS is apparently quite resilient, or I got lucky.
I'm not, but I have family who are. Wheelchair on grass is hard going, even if it's very flat and well maintained. I wouldn't want to do it except over very short distances. If you have to, turn the wheelchair user around and go backwards, but I always feel that is even more embarrassing for them.
Looking at the Patreons alone for one channel I watch, he makes $38,000 a month. Just from Patreons. Which is $456,000 a year. That's before you get into YouTube ad revenue, sponsor spots and merchandising. This is a channel with less than 2 million subscribers. I suspect he makes 3-4 times that from the rest. So yes, $150K for equipment seems perfectly reasonable.
In ST canon they are considered the safest form of travel. So, yeah I'd use them if that was the standard.
I auditioned for Millionaire once and was selected, but they wanted me to pay my own way to New York and I'd only be refunded if I was picked. Was poor at the time (ironically) so didn't go. I think it would have been fun, I'm not a genius by any means but I know a lot of useless trivia so think I may have made a few bucks. Nice part about that show is it's you against yourself, Jeopardy also sounds like fun but I'd be competing against people smarter than me I expect.
Religious: I grew up in a deeply religious household, my parents are still very religious and they consider that the cornerstone of their lives. No judgement here, they are great people and I've never once seen them use their religion to hurt others. For me, I appreciate the moral lessons I learned in that church and I think it made me a more empathetic person. I just have no particular need for a religion to be a good person. Stopped following any religion in my early 20s.
Social and political: See also 1. Being bullied as a kid made me have a deep rooted hatred for people who harm others, which means I tend to champion oppressed people now. Honestly, however, this should be a normal human thing to do. Beyond that, I tend to have a "live and let live" attitude towards most things so long as you're not bothering anyone else. I guess that makes me one of those snowflake liberals that are destroying America?
I just call it the "I stopped caring about that site a long time ago" site.
Some of the larger subreddits shut down or turned into a John Oliver meme, one niche one I enjoyed is gone, the rest seem to be back to business as usual. At the moment? I'd say not much has changed.
Who cares, though? This isn't reddit, let's stop focusing on that and focus on Lemmy.
No, it's like a love note to TOS. All of the Treks that followed were a bit more serious in tone, which is fine and dandy, but The Orville captures the spirit of the original series very well. Strange New Worlds is somewhat similar to the original series in tone, but doesn't have that 60s campy feel.
