Tone is tough on the internet, sorry - that was firmly tongue in cheek :P

A friend had a late 90's ford ranger - yellow, and everyone called it the burger truck. I still don’t know why and it’s been to long to ask. It’ll just be a mystery.

Interesting - I’m the opposite. Over 30 something cars I’ve never picked a color - if there are several for the same price with the features I want I just avoid yellow (wife not a yellow fan - I am indifferent, but she told me no yellow never ever ever) - beyond that, I don’t care. I got a brand new abarth for a…

Does it make me giggle? Thats how I’ve wound up with several cars. V8 fiero? Check. 500 Abarth? Check. Grand national? Check (though that was nervous giggling, as I wasn’t sure it could stop from the speeds it could get up to).

I think it’s missing out on what made the older iterations endearing. I watched all of Discovery so far and other than a few moments never really cared about any characters. I think they could’ve launched it without the “star trek” name and been a little more popular because established nerds wouldn’t have to feign…

hehe it was an “or” - they weren’t intimidating OR scary, etc. OR either of these guys. I just love gowron’s crazy eyes and martok’s voice lol.

Fines are dumb. I’ve gotten a ticket for being parked on the street *in torrential rain* because they still had the street sweeper go by. Wasn’t sweeping, just drove down the road at 45mph and the code enforcement trucks trailing behind stopping to write tickets. 

Curious - I saw this passage:

Yeah - the actress is doing the best with what shes got, and she is great, but the character is just blech. I think that many would forgive a lot about the show if they hadn’t tried to redesign klingons. The new klingons look like bad guys from an old power rangers movie. They aren’t intimidating. They aren’t scary.…

* just not in california.

I see so many people with their phones stuck to their windshields right below the rear view mirror or right in front of their faces. It’s no wonder insurance rates are so high in Irvine CA. Not a day goes by that I don’t see someone watching a movie on their phone while driving in that dang city.

“It’s amazing how desperately you want to die on this hill.”

Try as I might, I just cannot find myself caring about Discovery. It’s too different - lets be real, it’s a totally different show and they named it Star Trek to try to get an installed base of fans to watch it. A while back I showed my wife TNG, she had never seen it and was hooked - binged tng, then ds9, then…

Well step 1 is to read the expanse books. Seriously!!! Make sure you read the novellas as well. Good reads - similar enough to the series that if you like one you’ll like the other, different enough to still be interesting after watching the show. Also, hit netflix and rewatch star trek TNG, it reboots your love of…

looks like a multi blade razor

how efficient!

could probably resolve it with “billing will continue until scooter is placed back into a dock” or some sort of proximity awareness to confine parked scooters to an approved area. You want to park it on the sidewalk? meter’s going to stay running until you put it away properly.
