The floor for these cars should be 50 mpg minimum.  At least equal to what diesels are doing conservatively, which I thought was the whole point.

Depending on the state you live in, the average bill is 2.7k to 3.8k with no stay. If the patient has a stay, then it can be 10k to 13k per night.

It bugs me when people say things like “the original show’s zero budget sets”.

Case in point, Dr. Julian Bashir, who is found out to be an Augment.

I'd go as far to say that this is THE best Enterprise interior of any Star Trek movie or show.

“Mid-Century bulkhead”

I absolutely love this show’s set and prop design for the Enterprise. Trapezoids and big solid hues with abstract decorations and gear. Instead of slavishly reproducing the original show’s zero budget sets they leaned into the shapes and colors and filled it out with a lived in baroque aesthetic that appears to just…

Given their affinity for genetic engineering and the very varied appearance of Illyrian kids shown on Una’s screen, there’s no reason to assume that the Enterprise Illyrians are an unrelated species – we can simply conclude that they were a subspecies modified for the conditions of another planet. Assuming that they…

“Illyrians—a minor but important Trek race, having appeared on-screen just once in Enterprise, but evolved a new life in Trek novels as a race of bio-engineered humanoids looked down upon by the Federation for genetic augmentation”

I’m sure it’s a lovely building and they spent a fortune on it. I’d be a bit testy too if it were MY money. Fortunately, it’s not so I stand back at a socially safe distance, point my finger, and laugh like Nelson Muntz.

What do you mean? I’ll have you know that my manager’s calf-cam is a vital and prominent part of our daily Webex meetings. Sure, he’s the only one allowed to work remotely on our team hence the meetings in the first place, but we still get to admire the polygonal definition on those legs even when he’s not here.

That, and they probably have to justify the new campus they just built. Didn’t they spend several billion on it? Only to have to send everyone home and (I assume) leave it empty for the last 2 (going on 3) years.

I can see why management would want the rank-and-file to come back to the office. It’s much harder to get your ego fix of people telling you how smart you are and how your calf implants definitely look real when there’s nobody in the office. It’s just not the same when it’s done over Meets Zoom Teams FaceTime.

“Over time, we’ll reduce what the crew has to do,” Suffredini said during the news conference.

“I duns no wants no gubbermit regulating nuttin save for dem welfare uteruses and keep patrolling dose public bathrooms to keep dem udder folks out. I wans muh freedims”

When they can’t even torque a oil drain plug correctly....

The only thing worse than a $tealership is a shady chain repair shop. They too often do lousy work with the cheapest possible parts while wildly overcharging for it.

It could also have something to do with having problems raising the $21B in cash money he needs to complete the purchase. Reportedly, legitimate financing sources are balking at loaning him the funds he needs.

These days you can even ignore a subpoena by congress and get away with a slap on the wrist if you’re a rich asshole with a lawyer.

if this falls through—and who’s to say where it will end up at this point—the SEC has got to fine this dipshit a massive amount just for fucking with Twitter’s stock price, if not for arbitrarily withdrawing from a potential sale because he didn’t do his research, right?
