I completely agree with what pay-parking does for an area and how it encourages regular turnover of cars. That said, there are a number of towns near me that I just don’t go to anymore both because they require payment AND don’t take cards. I rarely have change enough to pay for anything more than a few minutes, so I…

It’s absolutely shitty to be harassed, but the root point stands: if you are in a public place, anything you do is subject to being observed, captured, and commented on, for better or worse.

“just because you could, doesn’t mean you should”

Whether it’s a individual’s phone, a CCTV, a TV or film crew getting crowd shots, cameras are everywhere and your actions are bound to be recorded. If you’re outside, it’s possible you’ll have your image captured, observed, and available for dissection by others for any reason.

People don’t tacitly sign a waiver agreeing to have their image, goings-on, and physical location splashed all over the internet just because they dared to leave the house.

This is the most likely reason, IMO. Everything is about humanity because the audience is human and can relate to it. Think of how many stories are couched in the context or compared to Earth history or Earth cultural concepts (chess, slavery, World War, eugenics). To do the same with a non-human culture, you’d need…

Canonically, the captain of the Enterprise F is Andorian, and as otherwise mentioned there are loads of Vulcans like Spock, Satelk, and Solok. There’s been at least one Bolian (Rixx).

Years ago I had a GF with a Macbook. Our 4-person house internet worked great until she brought her Mac out of sleep (not freshly booting). What I figured out was happening was that, while Windows machines release their their IP address on sleep and renew it when waking, Macs at that time would resume using the…

Why not Hamball?

They don’t have the greatest interiors. They don’t have the best build quality (though I’ve never really noticed in any of the cars I’ve been in). They are not the first or best, but with all that said:

A lot of cars limit how intensely they can heat/cool a vehicle with remote start. For example, VWs set the temp to 72* and the fan is on medium or so, which won’t really make it comfortable, just a bit less insane. I can see why it might not be enough for some.

Fair point. I thought the average was higher than that. I’d also honestly be fine with instant death penalty for malicious harm to another human, be it rape, murder, torture, kidnapping, etc. There would be no need for lessons learned or long term care costs; just a firing squad and be done with it.

It’s perfect for dark rooms or airplanes, when you need to conserve your battery a little

It’s amazing that they have only $19,000 in exports to the EU. That’s like... a single Ford Fiesta.

Except in those same films you have the virgin birth, a human who can fly podracers and Naboo fighters against the Droid army with ZERO training or experience all because of made up bacteria?

For every death a convicted person is found responsible for, they should receive a minimum sentence of the average US adult age minus the age of the person who died. They robbed the deceased and their family and the world of another human being’s life and influence for that time, so they ought to have that long to…
