Yeah, I'm old enough to have watched Enterprise when it was first aired, and I always went to grab a snack from the kitchen or something while the theme played.

Sure, but for some reason there doesn't seem to be the same difficulty in print. I don't recall any warnings about the use of sarcasm or irony in style guides before the internet era, and no one seemed to feel the need for anything like "/s".

I don’t doubt that he and his various partners had sex at some point, but his children were all conceived via IVF.

When I was in high school back in the late 70s you'd still see a few of those around. My friend had one, but not for long. Someone had put in a more powerful motor and if she wasn't careful accelerating she would snap the drive shaft.
