Topic for discussion: We live in the Evil mirror universe, not the Good universe (which explains my Van Dike). Discuss. (Note: all discussions must be limited to cannon, which means all the live-action series).

Hmm. . . perhaps it would make more sense to buy a license for the content separate from the device. You buy the software now, but it can run on any future car. . .

While I am no fan of Trump or the shutdown, I wonder about why a company might go out of business simply because the government won’t approve the labels on its wine bottles. Does it make sense that we have this sort of government regulation in the first place?  Perhaps things would be better if we had no wall and the…

Anybody that parks at the pumps and then goes into the store to buy anything (including to pay for gas with cash) needs a tow.

Interesting, but how can you tell if a person is “clearly not handicapped” or not? Years ago after my wife had medical issues associated with childbirth (postpartum cardiomyopathy), she was offered a handicap placard by the doctor. She turned it down because she didn’t want to be considered “handicapped”, but by…

I live in a Red State, but I don’t understand this. There are people upset with Tesla for something? What, exactly?

Interesting, but not a single number in the article. What percentage? How many? Etc. . . while interesting, I don’t really have the ability to understand how large the presence of women is in defense from this article. Without the numbers the article really seems meaningless. Can we see some stats?

Well, the Rebel Alliance emblems on his tie make him look like a nerd/scientist! *lol*

Actually, it was in the name of his home, Virginia, which he was protecting from a foreign invader after that nation left a loose confederation of nations (as Britain is leaving the EU now). I know that it seems strange to talk about it this way, but it was only after the Civil War that the people living in the…

Wow, such support for a man that would be executed for war crimes if he were alive today.  Such support sounds like fascism to me.

I don’t know if this is true (sorry no source to cite, but maybe somebody knows more about this?), but I remember reading about what Lee did after the Confederate surrender. Apparently he was instrumental in beginning the post-war healing process. Without his involvement, peace would have been impossible — a Southern…

As a scientist and an engineer (I have degrees in both and have had jobs as both), I tend to agreed. While I don’t really know anything about this guy and I am no fan of Trump, it seems like saying that he isn’t a geologist in spite of having a degree in geology is splitting hairs. Heck, unlike 99% of congress at…

I am a male engineer and I don’t recall ever touching anybody at work. I DO remember the one time that a female colleague and I were having a conversation with other people and she reached out and put her hand on my shoulder. Wow, I almost freaked out. That was over 20 years ago and I still remember it. At the time…

That won’t work if false accusation are to be made. That’s why many organization have rules to even prevent the appearance of impropriety — like a man and a woman are not allowed to be alone in an office together unless the door is open. This results in full disclosure and protects both individuals. A man and a woman…

My 2017 Honda Civic is different. It has a percent indicator that says how much oil life I have left. I talked to the dealer about this and they said that it is actually based on the number of engine rotations rather than mileage or time — which makes a lot of sense. They recommended changing when I get to 15% life…

I was thinking that the opposite might happen. He will see that he can’t get reelected and see that he won’t run again. How will he satisfy his ego? He will throw up his hands, say that he accomplished everything that he set out to do in only one term, and declare victory. Somebody should suggest this to him and make…

The vast majority of rich people in the US (something like 93%) actually started out as not rich. Only that small minority of 7% actually inherited their money. Trump is in that 7%.

I think that the point of the bear is a deliberate “thumbing of the nose” at liberals. It takes typical liberal criticisms of conservatives (e.g. “They are wrapping themselves in the American flag.”) and makes the metaphor intentionally real. If a conservative buys this, he/she is mocking liberals. It is much like how…

Ditto

It is called “politics,” and, yes, Democrats are bad at it.
