Yeah, but the table is three times too large relative to the chairs. :D

AMEN. That’s proper cause for a beat-down, TBH. Here in Brooklyn even most graffiti “artists” have the good sense not to tag a proper mural. My old roommate was a muralist and did some fantastic stuff in Bushwick - no one touched that stuff. ;) 

I read A Brief History of Time from my dad’s shelf when I was in high school, but do not currently own a copy of it.

LOL, the Echo Dot in the bedroom answers to “computer”; the Echo Show out in the living room answers to “Alexa”. I’m the Trekkie in the house and work from the bedroom, my husband is in the other room most of the time, so that actually works out perfectly (they don’t trip over each other and I get to pull a Scotty). :D

One I would hang if I ever get around to printing it is from an old company I used to work for (NGP VAN): “Build the world you want.” I have the t-shirt with that graphic, which I wear on a weekly basis, but I also managed to get the illustrator file from the designer who created it. I’d planned to put that up at…

I separate books into two categories - those I read purely for entertainment, and those that might have value either as reference or as works of art in their own right. As a result, I don’t tend to collect sci-fi stuff in hardcopy (with the exception of Star Trek design books and technical manuals). The stuff I do…

The obvious exception to this is Klingon weapons. :D

I live in NYC (Brooklyn, to be specific) - I don’t _ever_ have to touch McDonald’s, nor do I intend to. If I want food, I have more real options within a couple blocks than you could shake a stick at, all of them a hundred times better than that crap. As far as I’m concerned, the only thing McDonald’s ever made that…

Or Hero of the Soviet Union (1985) :D 

I won’t argue that they should be banned, but I certainly prefer a proper chair. Pre-COVID, I always tried to get a chair if possible and let others take the booth, but I wouldn’t say I have strong feelings on the matter. LOL

I haven’t seen a $5 footlong in a very long time, at least not in NYC.

Never cared for his work (not a fan of the whole genre), but I’d have LOVED to have been there for that conversation. :D

I happened to be on Flatbush (went to Oceans 8) at the time and walked through the crowd around Barclay’s. It was packed but the sidewalks weren’t impassable. Damn near as many cops as regular people.

With absolute certainty it’ll be out of service until thoroughly inspected. More likely than not, the inspection will turn up stuff that wasn’t even related to this incident simply due to typical American neglect and we’ll never have a complete picture of what the train actually caused. But hey, at least one…

Minnesota seems to have a little trouble with bridges, eh? :D

Good lord, that building in the last photo needs to be power washed. ;) As for convertible buses, we have plenty of those obnoxious topless tour buses in NYC I’d be happy for you to take - they just have the steering wheel on the wrong side, is all. :D

Original movie era. And add the ability to build our own ships and sets.

What’s going on there? Mind sharing the full story?

Yeah, really wish I hadn’t looked it up, now. Ewwww...

I’m genuinely surprised they’re all women, given the usual stories around these types.
