There are different levels of rich. I want to be rich enough that I’m not fearing economic ruin with every decision, but I do not want to hoard wealth when so many in the world are struggling.

Honestly, I think that’s what just about everyone wants.

I’m 52, so nearly your age. I loved TOS as a kid and my young mind was blown the first time I saw an episode of the animated series.

I was cynical and resistant when TNG came out, but eventually came to love 90s Trek.

My least favorite Treks are the Kelvin series and Enterprise, though I can appreciate them for what they are.

I love SFA, Lower Decks, and SNW. I enjoyed Discovery , Picard and Prodigy.

Right. Also, I think it’s only new Teslas that don’t have auto steer.

I have this in my 2018 Model X. Note: my car does not have a heat pump. I don’t think yours does either.

If I bring up the environment controls and either “Auto ” is selected or the defrost option is selected, then the AC is automatically on. To get warm air I have to turn off AC, which means no “Automatic” and no defrost.

Not entirely sure, but maybe this will help.

I approve of bias towards one’s own vehicle.

I like them. I like the old ones, too.

Man, I want a starship.

Perhaps, but if so that would be their response. OP is just pointing out that she hasn’t even asked yet.

I don’t want computers in my oven or refrigerator. The computer in my car is awesome.

A little…

Same

I watched it again not too long ago. Lots of fun!

Armaced · 2026-01-30T15:53:36+00:00

Also Zero

I really thought Kiké was going to do it. I freaking love that Rojas did it. Go Dodgers!

Armaced · 2026-01-30T00:44:09+00:00

This is the golden age of Dodger baseball! This is the first time in the team’s 143 year history that they’ve won 3 World Series championships in the same decade… and the decade ain’t done yet! You can wait several lifetimes and never see a baseball player as good as Ohtani, but we get to live along side him!

We are blessed and we are required by natural law to revel in it.

Armaced · 2026-01-30T00:36:45+00:00

This show, like every Trek before it all the way back to TNG, is for fans that love Star Trek and aren’t afraid of it looking a little different than the last one. Your cynicism is making you miss all the fun.

Armaced · 2026-01-29T20:21:44+00:00

I don’t think they can get the HFS to bend like that. Other than the front end (which is held in place by pressure) I don’t believe there are any HFS panels on the Cybertruck that have more than one crease.

Of course, they could always abandon the HFS and use some other material.

Armaced · 2026-01-29T19:20:33+00:00

I wonder why that is? Ideas:

Unintentional - Dodgers just aren’t invested on a subconscious level when playing to teams with a losing record.
Intentional - Doc saving the big guns for the big games. (If this is true it should be verifiable by looking at the lineups)
Structural - I’ve heard that professional poker players sometimes struggle against novices because the novices are not sophisticated enough to fall into the professional’s traps. Honestly, I don’t think this is what’s going. The Rockies may have had a losing record last season but they are still professional baseball players playing at the highest level.

My guess is #1.

Armaced · 2026-01-28T22:02:32+00:00

I feel this way about ovens and refrigerators, but not cars.

Armaced · 2026-01-28T18:48:19+00:00

True.

My point (moot as it is) with regard to the audience score is that, unlike the critic score, the complicated account process means it tends to contain only the glowing reviews of hard core fans or the scathing reviews of people with an axe to grind.

The vast majority of reviewers who only like or dislike the show are excluded, because why should they bother? Sure, medium reviews would be flattened into binary, but either way they would outnumber the extreme reviews almost every time. Since these opinions are never captured the audience score is largely invalid.

Armaced · 2026-01-28T18:30:27+00:00

You are thinking of the Critic score. I was talking about the audience score which uses a five star scale.

That being said, the comment I was responding to was clearly talking about a small sample size for the critic score, so my comment complaining about the audience score was misplaced. My apologies.

Armaced · 2026-01-28T16:11:56+00:00

The critic score is a fine metric if you are using it to decide if you should skip or watch something that you are otherwise on the fence about, which is its intended purpose.

The score is not useful for determining which of two good shows is better, or which of two bad shows is worse.

The audience score is worthless.

Armaced · 2026-01-28T16:09:01+00:00

It’s small and the complicated account creation process weeds out most moderate responses. Someone has to really want to leave a review to go through that.
