This is why, even with an insurmountable amount of money, I’d probably still drive a hot hatch.  I’ve never been terribly interested in exotics or halo cars, but man give me a work a day performance machine and I’ll daily drive the shit out of it.  My current daily is a gen2 Mazdaspeed3 and while I don’t have the good…

I tried to lay VIII.  I enjoyed the music, the world appears interesting, but the convoluted combat/magic/juntion/gf setup is just too much of a headache to justify all the time necessary to make it work in your favor.  Grinding Triple Triad just added insult to injury =\

The thing I hated about ad supported Hulu was that the ads were always crystal clear and properly buffered, but the actual content was suddenly low res and stuttering most of the way through.  Pay for the ad free though?  No more problems

Framework was depressing, but it also came back to haunt Fitz last season in a very real and disturbing way

Wasn’t Ford putting together a replaceable LED ‘bulb’ a few years ago?

I remember Audi had a concept where the taillights were OLED panels contoured to the body of the car, able to change color or animate in any way they saw fit.  It was certainly very clever, but also kinda far out

My wife had a coworker that put one of these on a Suzuki Firenza.  Like, who do you think you’re fooling?

You are among friends, let your flag fly

That Enterprise E flyby in First Contact gave me chills

Very sad indeed.  Gods final message to his creation is worth the journey

I actually got in trouble at work a few years ago for referencing the SEP field with a coworker of mine.  Apparently some humorless coworker of mine took the joke seriously...

If I remember correctly, the Enterprise A was actually the Yorktown post refit, but given the recent destruction of the Enterprise they decided to recommission it for Kirk and crew.  Makes you wonder what they did with the Yorktown crew...

Seriously, his ‘My God, its real’ 100% sells the entire moment

I hate you so hard

I rather like both for their own merits, but man most of The Orville’s fanbase is made up of people who only seem to like it just to spite Discovery.  Its like they think if they watch it enough and disparage DSC in the comments enough it’ll somehow get them a new season of TNG or something.

I only use the front camera for iris unlock anyway, and I’ll gladly punch in a code or use the fingerprint scanner instead for a full face screen

When I was shopping for my Mazda, the dealer I went to wasn’t going to let me testdrive the Speed3 because the only people that test it were asshole college kids looking for a quick joyride.  It was only after I told him I wanted to see if the stories about uncontrollable torque steer were true (they weren’t) that he…

The worse offense came when they tested whether the Porsche 928 was more aerodynamic backwards than forward.  If I remember correctly, it wasn’t, and several 928s were butchered so we could learn this.

I think everything you said is why they’ve kept the specifics of the Simulator vague up to this point.  So all we know is that it can do whatever is necessary to progress the story.  With the Holodeck, TNG outlined a lot of its limitations pretty early on, which may have robbed us of a few story possibilities
