Oh, cool. I never knew about that. Thanks.

You said Type-1 (the compact, key fob looking TOS phaser), but linked a picture to the TOS Type-2 (the pistol). Which did you prefer?

I love the concept of the Type-1, and it would definitely be my favorite pick of the phasers based on function. But for how it looks, I like how the TNG Type-2 kinda blended the TOS Type-1 concept as a tool, but sized it up to the TOS Type-2 pistol in size. Best of both worlds. Still feels like a tool, but more power drill, less garage door opener or handgun.

EDIT: my autocorrect kept messing up the link.

I want to toss the Type-2 phaser from Star Trek (circa 24th century) as my personal favorite. It has this design which reads as a tool more than a weapon, which I love.

Practice, I guess?

To combat jet lag, or otherwise reset your sleep schedule if it has drifted...

1. Go 24 hours without eating.

2. Go to bed early enough to make sure you get 8-10 hours before you normally want to wake up.

3. Using an alarm, wake up a bit earlier than you usually want to wake up.

4. Make a big breakfast, eating when you normally want to wake up.

Now your body will have reset its circadian rhythm, and you'll naturally wake up at that time.

Say what you will about the game, but IRL does a decent job of switching up the meta on a regular basis. Though it's pretty frustrating when you figure out a decent strat, and then next season it's useless.

Pretty sure they are referring to average annual temperature. The winters may get colder in some areas, but the summers are getting hotter everywhere, and to a bigger degree. So the average temperature will continue to trend up.

If the big bang had never occurred, queer.af would never have died.

Ergo: big bang killed queer.af.

They almost certainly picked it just for the joke.

queer.af = Queer AF = Queer as fuck!

It's like how popular the TLD of Guernsey (.gg) is with gaming websites.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even realize what country code the TLD was when they registered it.

This is anecdotal, but... I feel like it has gotten really slow. It's like it doesn't index anymore. It's so slow as to be unusable, even if I'm just searching within one DM history.

Be advised: I am unable to log in using the Android app, Liftoff.

I first noticed content wouldn't load. I removed the account, and tried to re-add it. It simply spins its wheels endlessly with no error or connection. I cleared the app data and cache, and now when I try to add the startrek.website instance, it says "Instance not found."

I suspect the issue is with their app (looks like they haven't updated since July), but I thought I'd post here so admins would be aware, and in case any other Liftoff users are having the same issue. I see a lot of comments about Jerboa, so I'll be trying that app.
