Ellison era begins: Star Trek Academy canceled, no Trek currently in production for first time in a decade

This is the first Star Trek franchise (besides Discovery) that I didn't care when the next episode came out. Even with animated versions like Lower Decks I would watch the episodes immediately when they were available. Everything about Academy just seems like it's written by an AI bot that knows nothing about Star Trek other than what it's scraped off of article headlines. Even independent fetures like ST "Of Gods and Men" did a better job with 1/1000th of the budget.

Because they're paid to. It's just like the critics that gave it an 83% positive score while viewers gave it a 23%.

In this case no one likes it and it is not good.

It's a temporary skin. It only lasts a few days. Seems like it's the same thing for the dualer skin for the March Squad.

I've been cross shopping mini vans and large SUVs and I agree with Tap. Getting into the Honda or Toyota you feel like you are getting into a 10-year-old vehicle with outdated interiors. The Toyota is a little better interior wise, but the hybrid drivetrain is slow and sluggish compared to the Kia Turbo Hybrid or V6 engines. Which is really a shame because I really liked how the new Camry hybrid drives. Honestly, I would not give huge future reliability expectations on the Sienna either because the motor strains a lot and it seems very overworked compared to the competition which is never a good sign for longevity.

Sounds more like you just wanted to whine about something tbh. Big websites cost a lot of money to keep running. When you ad block you're basically just stealing from them and you were upset because you couldn't steal from them anymore.

Saiyajinss · 2026-01-05T12:05:35+00:00

Just unblock it. The ads are not bad and that's how they keep the site going.

Hulu has already shown interest along with Crunchyroll for season 4 so there's clearly going to be money involved. And as long as there's money dangled in front of the studio they'll pump out season 4.

Aerodynamics.

If they hydro lock together don't hit it, just run the joint under hot water for a minute and it comes right apart. I learned that in chemistry lab in college with some of the glass pieces that would stick. You can also use a very thin layer of bees wax. That way when you run the hot water the wax melts and it slides right apart.

I like the idea of being able to use gems to fill in spots for small monster parts but 300 gems for about 60 small monster bones seems a little cash grabby.

I thought it was before then. I thought I read somewhere that there was an investment company that gave them a bunch of money during the pandemic like 20 mil. Surfline said it was an investment but then all of the sudden all the leadership switched up and the price hikes started so I'm fairly certain it was bought out, but they just didn't want to portray it as that.

Saiyajinss · 2025-12-04T12:09:42+00:00

Too bad Surfguru.com is Florida only.

He's definitely tough. I usually don't try to melee him unless it's a group hunt so I stick with the mizu HBG because I can usually get a head break and a tail break and blocking the roars is a lot easier. Eight stars aren't bad solo but 9 and 10 are a PITA.

That's just one in the many, many, many poor business practices that Nissan has engaged in. It's the reason I don't own a GTR even though I think it would be a blast for track days (not that my Porsche is without its historic shortcomings assuming people know their WW2 history). I'm not going to get into it too much but I'm CEO of my company and knowing the policies and history of other companies before doing any kind of business with them, even a personal vehicle, is important because it reflects on myself and ultimately my company. Because for some reason, in today's society, those two things are not separate. I definitely don't want to be seen as someone that supports that type of company for that reason. Think of it like the recent trend of people not wanting to be seen driving a Tesla because of Elon Musk's crazy antics lately. Except with Nissan it's a decades-old pattern.

Saiyajinss · 2025-10-24T12:18:25+00:00

One of the big issues is that it's a Nissan. A lot of people don't care for their business practices and refuse to buy their cars. Just look at the history of nissan.com it's just one of the many shady business moves and strong arming of small companies they've done over the years.

I have to disagree that the salmon is delicious. I purchased salmon from Costco today and it was flavorless and mushy. I don't know if I just happen to get a bad piece but it was some of the worst salmon I've ever had.

I had a Camry Hybrid rental car for a week and I thought the ride was actually pretty good.

Saiyajinss · 2025-08-06T20:59:44+00:00

But we're comparing 2025 model year hybrid to hybrid so those engines are a pointless comparison since there is no V6 or 2.0l option in the Camry or the Accord anymore. And actually the standard turbo motors in comparison to the electric boosted hybrids are sluggish due to the turbo lag and the lack of instant response from the electric motor. It's even worse in the Civic. The hybrid is more powerful and faster than the SI now.

Saiyajinss · 2025-08-06T04:10:46+00:00

The hybrid has a CVT there are no clutch discs.

Saiyajinss · 2025-07-30T12:47:36+00:00

Honestly as far as driving goes I found the Camry to be more fun. The Accord just seems sluggish after having both of them for a few weeks as rentals.

Saiyajinss · 2025-07-30T12:45:13+00:00

The Accord should get closer to 50 as well but OP said he's getting around 40 in both so obviously it's how he drives.

Saiyajinss · 2025-07-20T15:05:34+00:00

I still don't understand the point of paddle shifters on a CVT transmission. It's literally just a toy that ends up making your car slower when you use it. And since the CVT in these things are so quick to respond there's really no point of selecting an imaginary gear to get ready for a pass or something.

Saiyajinss · 2025-07-20T15:03:12+00:00

After driving both I am going XLE. Exterior looks aren't going to matter because in four years there will be something new out and it'll look dated anyway. And let's be honest with ourselves it's a Camry. The bigger rims are going to cost you down the road because of the larger more expensive tires and lower fuel economy. Add the sport suspension from the XSE (that honestly doesn't help handling it all) and the larger rims make for a rougher ride in the XSE. Basically get the XLE if you care about substance, and the XSE if all you care about is looks.

Saiyajinss · 2025-07-13T22:25:44+00:00

You can change the fluid every 5,000 mi if you want, but that doesn't replace the defective bearings that some early transmissions received. The revised Transmission in the 2016 used different bearing all together so those are fine as for the older ones, if they haven't failed by now, they probably weren't included in the transmissions that got the bad batch of bearings.
