The doughnut of despair.

You get an updoot! And YOU get an updoot!

Michael Ironside in his younger days. I would have loved to see him as a Trek captain in the style of his Starship Troopers character, ie a grizzled, take-no-prisoners leader, but would do anything for his people. Sort of a Lorca kind of captain, but Michael Ironside.

“Let’s boogie”

Although perhaps I’d change it if my bridge crew stood up and started funking on down, rather than taking the ship to warp.

No, Roy, we don’t.

But the phased cloak had problems, and is is seemingly a dead end for the ability to fire while cloaked.

Why? Wouldn’t a photon torpedo immediately pass beyond the phased cloaking field and then immediately return to normal phase? Assume a phaser beam would the the same.

Unless we’re saying there’s no “field” as such, but the entire mass of the ship is altered and thus any projectile would still stay out of phase beyond the ship. If so, couldn’t a torpedo have an integrated “rephase” module added? Problem solved.

It’s also quite pertinent given the prevalence of feddit.(country code) instances of Lemmy, eg feddit.uk, feddit.de etc.

I’ll bite.

It’s a “skone”. Clue is in the fact it’s spelt “scone”, ie just substitute the K for a C. It it was a skon it would be called a scon.

Ah, now you’re reminding me of the Woolies quandary back in the day. Buy pick and mix or save up for a 1.99 Mastertronic Speccy game. Which were, with one or two exceptions, invariably utter shit. Should have gone for the sugar fix.

I can’t have at it, that’s the problem, that’s what I’m looking for help with. If I try to sign up the progress spinner never stops and there are errors about closed websockets in my browser developer console. That’s what I’m seeking help on.

(in terms of propagation, there are ancient posts in c/cricket@lemmy.ml that I can see via lemmy.world but not on my “home” instance of feddit.uk. In fact on feddit.uk c/cricket@lemmy.ml appears entirely empty and has for several days).

Like I said, I’m already on a different instance (feddit.uk) but the instance I’m on seems a bit flaky. There are communities on other instances that don’t show any content, whereas they do on lemmy.world. I’d heard that lemmy.world was handling the influx of new users quite well in comparison, so thought I’d try to switch.

I will say we desperately need an r/cricket alike before the Ashes starts. Was rather hoping not to have to take matters into my own hands - but if I understand your intention, your sub is more about playing, right?

Edit: just found c/cricket on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, but maybe a UK-oriented one wouldn’t be a terrible idea…?
