If recent history is any indication (it’s not, but it’s fun to think about), the craziness won’t even start for a few weeks/months:
March 2014: MH370 disappeared. March 2015: Germanwings Flight 4U 9525 is intentionally crashed in the Alps. April 2016: The Panama Papers are leaked/published. February 2017: The Oscars’ presenters forget how to read. February 2018: Parkland, Florida school shooting. March 2019: The Boeing 737 Max is effectively banned from flights after a string of crashes. March 2020: Covid doesn’t start, but finally comes to a breaking point and restrictions are implemented across the US. March 2021: The container ship Ever Given ran aground in the Suez Canal. February 2022: Russia invades Ukraine. February 2023: US Air Force shot down a Chinese spy balloon.
Plex desperately wants to be more then just a self-hosted library solution, as that’s often (though not exclusively) associated with piracy. They also have a free streaming service, similar to Tubi and Pluto, that can integrate with your own library.
I had OG covid just after Xmas 2020. Didn’t eat for 3-4 days, and was so excited for the first time I felt up to eating. That’s when I discovered I had no sense of smell. The basic tastes were there, salty, sweet, etc, but no nuance to it. With just the texture to go off, my basic white-bread-and-ham sandwich was like eating a wet sponge. It stayed that way for about 2 weeks, I think (the brain fog was real, too, don’t remember much of January 2021).
Started to come back slowly, and was normal by the end of March. Nothing much long term to report. Smell might be a little more sensitive now, if anything. We have cats, and I’m always the first to know when the box needs cleaning.
O’Brien returned his cart, and yours, and was mumbling complaints about lazy people while gathering two more when somebody drove a motorized cart into him and broke his ankle.
Tangential to the question, but Elvis was famously censored from the waist down in an early TV appearance for being too sexy. Then, of course, lots and lots of rock in the ‘free love’ 60s and 70s was explicitly about drugs.
Going from ‘sex and drugs’ to ‘of the devil’ is a pretty short line to draw for some people.
He’d have his man-servant turn off the wifi on his phone. As long as the little symbol is gone, that means the internet no longer exists. Object Permanence isn’t his strong suit.
The animated series ended in 1974. This was before my time, so pure speculation, but Star Trek was likely still in the minds of kids of the appropriate age for the toy.
