I agree. Better to leave Janeway and company stranded on some planet in the Delta Quadrant. That leaves open the possibilities for further storylines, movies, etc. I'll give you my ending for Season 7. They find a wormhole that looks very promising. They get real-time Starfleet subspace traffic through it. After…

Except that the Astros are now in the American League.

Somebody else's project. No thanks. CP.

But at what point in Musk's life did he make a living humiliating himself? That's a key part of Sideshow Bob's character.

Non, non, mon ami. Thees ees a moustache!

And the Grenada of the 1970s was a sort-of copy of a Mercedes-Benz. As if you couldn't still tell you were driving a Ford with a crappy inline-6 cylinder engine from the Stone Age with all kinds of emissions crap attached to it.

I seem to recall that there were around 5000 fans in attendance the day Ernie Banks hit his 500th home run. (1) The Cubs were terrible, and (2) it was a day game in the middle of the week.

I was thinking about duranium alloy. The next version will have multiphasic shields and quantum torpedoes.

Does he also have a white cat?

Were the groundskeepers on strike or something? That looks like what happens to a freshly sodded lawn if you forget to water it.

If you're reading a German cookbook, everything non-liquid in the recipe is by weight except where you're dealing with tablespoons or teaspoons of stuff. So yeah, we have a scale too.

I guess it would depend on how long you were with a particular employer. I don't see anything wrong with something like:

TARC is still miles better than what we have in the Utica/Rome area of New York (don't get me started on that), which is the functional equivalent of bupkis. So yeah, I'd take spotty bus service over utterly useless bus service.

You can get around this by stating time periods in years rather than months. I doubt very many people seriously care whether you started such-and-such job in May or September. If they do, you can always tell them later and impress them with your total recall.

...yet. It used to be semi-illegal to do this - it would violate the agreement the card companies had with the gas stations. Thanks to the CARD Act (I think), this is no longer the case. If you can get people to prepay in cash for gas in exchange for a nickel a gallon discount, you're actually splitting the savings…

Just be sure you know what the annual fees are with those cards. I was on a plane recently when the flight attendants started passing out these applications for the airline's super awesome get free miles credit card. I grabbed one, saw where the annual fee was $90, and left it in the seat pocket along with the barf…

You're still right. There are some places where climate control is not really optional, that is, unless you really enjoy sweating. I've lived in a couple of these places, like South Carolina. I once bought a stripper pickup truck because you couldn't beat the price. I lasted until just after Memorial Day before I…

Price Chopper does this too. Two catches - (1) Price Chopper cards only work at Sunoco, which usually has higher gas than everybody else, and (2) we hate PC with the intensity of a thousand suns. Dirty stores, bad customer service, and the aforementioned loyalty cards are our top three complaints.

If you get yourself a Citgo (refillable) gift card, you get a nickel off a gallon. YMMV on that, though; I've been in a few towns where Citgo gas was a dime higher than everybody else's.

Toyota Corollas are good for that sort of thing. We have a friend who drives beater Corollas and the thing that usually breaks them is the climate, what with all the sodium chloride on the streets from December through March.
