Hello, all! Several days ago, one of you fine Lemmings posted a link to the new solo-oriented edition of Star Trek: Adventures.

I’ve just been looking for a replacement for Firefox Beta.
I’m currently rewatching it, and at first I admit I hated the season and didn’t understand all the praise it got, but on this second viewing, I am actually warming up a bit to it. It still is deeply flawed, with a lot of things that don’t make sense or could have been done better, but I kinda like it regardless. What do...
TIL that the shortest war in history took place between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27, 1896, lasting only 38 minutes. The conflict arose due to a succession dispute within the Zanzibar Sultanate after the death of the ruling Sultan. As tensions escalated, the British government intervened and issued an ultimatum to the rival...

Brave is my primary web browser but every page I visit isn’t being rendered correctly at all and some pages are completely broken. I have a system backup from a few days ago but I’d prefer not to have to use it if I can. I think Brave is the only thing that was affected but I think I should try to revert the update if it’s...

I went to Venezuela back in 2000 and there were all these burger carts that sold these little delicious burgers. I remember them having really thin meat pattys and but loaded with toppings and have been trying to figure out what the toppings were....
Hi everyone! Recently I installed LineageOS 20 on my Pixel 5 and I’m really liking it so far, however I found out that Google Pay doesn’t work on Custom ROMs, and no matter what I do (MagiskHide props, Universal SafetyNet Fix, DenyList etc) - I just can’t pass this check and use Google Wallet....
