I’m honestly wondering how this show plans on sustaining the next few seasons. Like, Scrubs eventually made their cast residents, then attendings. Bumping Boimler up to Lieutenant at the end of S01 felt earned, and he now seems drastically overqualified for where he is.

Agree that Mariner/Boimler and Rutherford/Tendi would be bad or boring pairings, but after this week’s episode I definitely think a Tendi/Boimler ship could be really fun.

After watching this episode I fell down a Memory Alpha hole and found out that freelance writer Jimmy Diggs had been pushing for the Kzinti to return to Trek, from TNG all the way to ENT.

The New Stratos is literally my dream car—the iconic Stratos wedge but LITERALLY built out of a modern luxury supercar, with all the modern tech and safety features and none of the “compromises” of a homologation special.

Not the whole company, just the North America wing.

(wrong comment--swear I got kinja’d)

I'm really confused, because that's literally what they used to do. FE has historically prized adaptability over preparation, and keeping the activation zone under wraps was a great way to ensure teams didn't have a chance to prepare strategies or for drivers to do simulator runs.

I’ve considered this myself after seeing some proofs of concept, but even at a larger scale (Lego 6-stud-wide) just finding suitable motors is hard enough. Luckily microcontrollers have really come down in size, price and difficulty of programming.

Checking out my local importer. Looks like we missed our shot on this Nissan Pao soft-top (where is Torch today?)

I read that along these lines

Dammit. Do I have to design two additional variants of this now?

Idiotic brand loyalty is by no means anything new in the car world

I see your GTR50 and raise you the 2020 Vision GT

I mean, the video itself seemed CGI to me. Probably a function of the weird lighting from the cloudy sky and how incongruous the image of a luxury SUV was on a pit lane?

Two car companies ending their works programs is far from a “mass exodus.” If Red Bull were to leave F1, that would be a blow, but probably moreso because of the loss of their driver academy than for the loss of RBR and Alpha Tauri. Formula E literally just added two teams for the 2019-20 season, so losing two would…

This is such a YMMV thing, kind of like the “are turbo braps good” debate of the previous gen. Yes, FE cars (and the ID.R) are quieter, but see them driven in anger and they are far from silent. And the sounds you can hear UNDERNEATH the motor whine—the squeal of the brakes, the thump of the suspension, you can get a…

I think we have to separate the top classes from the GT classes. GT Pro and GT-Am are highly competitive drivers championships, and I have zero problem with the series running detuned cars to allow any team to have a shot at a win, whether they’re driving a Ford GT or a BMW M8.

BoP seems to have proven really effective for GTLM in terms of giving us competitive championships. But EoT for LMP has been a joke.

Eh. Book 8 already dealt with Laconia in a satisfying and conclusive way. They have far less to wrap up than, say, where the Ender Quartet was at the end of Xenocide, and Children of the Mind was a SHORT book.
