Did Picard’s slavish devotion to the Temporal Prime Directive prove Kirk to be the better Captain?

Picard: “I must exit the nexus at almost the same point I went in so that I minimize damage to the timeline.” [loses Ent-D]

Kirk: “Jump to the future to help you kick some random guy’s ass? I’m down. After that, let’s go back and kick Kahn’s ass.”

Seriously, all Picard had to do was jump back to Ten Forward and arrest Soren on the spot, then movie over. Actually he could have jumped back three days earlier and saved his family and then still arrested Soren in Ten Forward. But nope, not strait laced Picard. So he loses his family and his ship.

Did you know that the end credits for modern uploads of Dungeons and Dragons are WRONG!

This is a broadcasted version of the end credits. Notice the Marvel logo at the end and the bit of music that lines up with it? Modern uploads omit the Marvel logo and the music cue lines up with nothing.

Here's a modern upload for comparison

Deep Lore - The end theme to Muppet Babies was actually the theme song to this failed Jim Henson show that only lasted three episodes.

The first season of Muppet Babies did so well in the ratings that CBS decided to expand the series from a half-hour to an hour, pairing Muppet Babies with Little Muppet Monsters. They called the hour-long package Muppets, Babies and Monsters.

"The concept of this second half-hour was neither simple nor particularly well-developed," Scott Shaw said. "A trio of new (live-action) Muppet Monster Kids, working from the basement of the adult Muppets' home, create their own television station which broadcasts only to the TV sets in the house upstairs. Their 'shows' were such regular segments as "Pigs in Space: The Animated Series", "Kermit the Frog, Private Eye", "Muppet Sport Shorts" with Animal, "Gonzo's Freaky Facts and Oddball Achievements," and "Fozzie's Comedy Corner", among others.

Although thirteen episodes were produced (most of which were incomplete at the time of cancellation), only three of them ever aired. According to Muppet performer Kathryn Mullen,[2] and the Henson Company archives,[3] Marvel Productions failed to deliver the full season's animated segments in time for airing. CBS responded by rerunning episodes of Muppet Babies to fill the second half hour until Marvel finished the series' animated segments. Due to high ratings from the Muppet Babies reruns, the network decided not to pick up the remaining episodes of Little Muppet Monsters. The three completed episodes never appeared on television after their initial air dates.

Despite its quick cancellation, the theme song to Little Muppet Monsters lived on; the instrumental version of the song became the closing theme for Muppet Babies and remained so until the show ended in 1991.

Happy Father’s Day from the 80sCartoon subreddit!

You may be a bad father, but at least you never moved your family to a swamp to start a river boat business!

Mod went rogue, changed our permissions, then disappeared. Now what?

  • We were all recruited by an admin at the same time to mod sub.
  • We all had permissions for everything.
  • One mod went rogue and changed the permissions for the other mods.
  • He deleted all the sub's artwork and disappeared 5 days ago.
  • He won't respond to DMs.
  • Now we can't fix anything.

Can an admin reset my permissions to "everything?"

Is this a Carpenter Ant?

I found two inside my house today, on opposite sides of the house. I can't find anything swarming. I've checked and I see no signs of ant damage or frass. I've had termites in the houses before this one so I can usually spot it. I've had small ants in the bathroom every once and awhile, but they just look like normal house ants. I also had that bathroom remodeled two years ago and noone said anything about ants. I'm on a slab so I guess they'd have to be coming top down. If they're in the house then shouldn't I see more than two?
