How many are watching the President Carter Funeral proceedings.

I have my complaints about the US and US politics and news but I wanted to watch some of this event just to see this historic event. Of all the modern US presidents, living and recently deceased, Carter was one of the most respected of them all.

I'm Canadian and a liberal left leaning politically. I have my complaints about the US, US government and US politicians, however I always appreciated President Jimmy Carter.

It's an historical event and one that doesn't happen often during our lifetimes.

I was wondering how many of you in the US and in the world are watching.

Seeing Jake as a fast talking cool cat with a pencil moustache and slick hair in the 1950s was one of many highlights

I was a bit saddened at the thought that there could be a point in my life where I would have watched all of Star Trek ... but I'm realizing as I get older that my memory is fading. I sometimes rewatch some episodes of TNG, which I watched years ago and once enough time passes, it feels like watching them again for the first time. So my failing memory is making me happy to know that I'll probably be watching Star Trek for the rest of my life.

By age alone, he's already acquired 10% of the vote in whatever election he joins .... get him to commit a felony and he'll gain another 5% .... some sort of sexual misconduct 5% ... say he's Christian (even if he's not) another 5%

Or being able to hide an alien in plain sight and calling it a Chicken Lady

TIL Kids In The Hall doesn't take place on earth in Toronto, Ontario, Canada .... it takes place on an alien planet that is part of the Federation. This explains so much.

And painted the whole room with a pretty green colored lead paint.

Loved Dangerfield .... in my mind's eye, his character is like a marker in time for me now ... are we dating ourselves?

That slight tilt does seem to throw things out of balance ...

It feels shitty and I was doing the same thing all day. I had to resurrect my lemmy.world account just to get back online. It's made me realize that I should maintain both accounts for shut downs like this. And now I'm also having to do more in maintaining my Mastodon account too.

Always loved that easy way to identify DS9/Terok Nor and Empok Nor

Weird to think what happens when you lose a site you visit on a regular basis. I can understand the whole instance going down but us users just get lost when things get turned off. There's no way to know what happened, why or when or if anything will return.

I had to resurrect my old lemmy.world account to figure out what happened. I guess we have to hang on to two or more unique instance accounts in case our main instance goes down.

Stay well guys and I totally appreciate the admins of lemmy.ca and all the work they do. I'll patiently wait and look forward to seeing it online again.
