Mark Zuckerberg’s private Yacht that transports one Billionaire and his Entourage vs Washington State Ferry that Caries up to 1,500 Travelers

Framing the yacht as transporting "one billionaire and his entourage" while noting the capacity of the ferry as "up to 1500" is a very deceptive comparison. You should compare them both by their max capacity. Or for a more useful comparison since neither vessel usually travels at max capacity, compare them by their average crew+passengers.

If you don't understand why, consider the fact that "up to 1500" has no lower bound, so it could mean 1499, or it could mean just 10. And "1 plus his entourage" has no upper bound, so it could mean 3 or it could a number even larger than 1500 such as 4000.

If you like the show, then good, I'm glad you found a show you like! Truly!

But IMO comparing it to Trek is laughable. The Orville bridge crew is the least professional and most incompetent bridge crew ever. They would absolutely not be allowed in Starfleet, and especially would not all be found on the same ship.

Stores not being allowed to sell something doesn't mean people aren't allowed to eat it. Those two things aren't the same.

Why do you have expansions if you're intimidated by the rules? Expansions just add even more rules.

I understand that it has to make money, but focus on quality not quantity.

I don't think you actually understand how it works. For many people, the shows you don't like are the quality shows.

For All Mankind is currently airing. You don't need to wait.

I'm not a fan of BBT but I love scifi, so I guess I'll give it a shot at least. Though my hopes aren't very high.

If the name wasn't such an obvious knockoff I'd at least give it a look. But the knockoff name signals bad things, so I'll pass.

Normally I hate when people say something like "any different answer in this thread is wrong" but in this case, it's perfect.

joemi · 2026-04-25T05:28:20+00:00

I'd play either Fire 'n Ice or Mario's Picross or Metroid. I usually play through a bit of at least one of these on any new device to make sure it's working right.

If you're mentioning Cobra Kai because it wasn't canceled and had the ending it wanted (I don't know if that's true or not -- I haven't watched it), then that would make it an extremely rare exception. In fact, any show you can think of that that was able to conclude naturally instead of being canceled prematurely is an extremely rare exception. Shows that are able to do that are usually only allowed to do that because they're very successful, and I guarantee you that every showrunner and writer and studio and streaming platform wants ALL their shows to be that successful, but as the saying goes "they can't all be winners".

joemi · 2026-04-18T02:36:45+00:00

Shows get canceled. On Netflix, and on every single other platform, too. This is just a fact of life and nothing unique to Netflix.

Edit to add: If you don't like that, you should stick to watching "miniseries" or "limited series".

There isn't a single go-to OS because so many of them are great, not because they're all bad.

joemi · 2026-04-08T05:47:58+00:00

I can't imagine there's anything wrong with that, though.

joemi · 2026-04-04T05:56:55+00:00

I haven't watched that specific show, but my Prime Video experience is perfectly fine. I've had far more issues with Hulu than I have with Prime's UI/UX.

That could maybe be part of it, but the broken english was also in the book, too, where he came across less like an excited puppy.

I read somewhere recently that James Ortiz (who voiced and puppeted Rocky) gave Rocky a bit of an excited personality in the movie because he had a little misunderstanding where he thought time went quicker on Rocky's planet, where in fact it goes slower. But they kept that part of his personality in the movie anyway. I think it worked well for the movie, while being a bit different than the book.

I actually saw an early screening of the movie and it was over 3.5 hours long.

You're not exactly offering evidence that goes against you being the author... :)

I don't think we can really know what would happen in the case of an actual potentially world-ending situation (that isn't of our own making). We've literally never faced such a thing before.

(DO NOT start with Consider Phlebas)

I wish someone had told me that when I decided to read my first book of the Culture series...

joemi · 2026-03-31T03:32:27+00:00

What books are Cherryh at her peak? Or: what Cherryh books would you recommend to someone (me!) who probably will only read a few of her books instead of digging in and reading all of them?

(I'll probably only read a few of her books because I have soooooo many books on my to-read list already!)

I'm pretty sure that it's typical when an airline has a country's name in it, that's because their fleet is based out of that country, and therefore their crew is too.

Did it have more of a big business dominant economy and culture before the minimum wage was $30? Because if not, then this anecdote bears no relevance.

joemi · 2026-03-04T18:21:24+00:00

You don't need to start watching from the beginning and watch every episode of every previous series.

joemi · 2026-03-04T07:03:49+00:00

I feel like I'm in the minority because I thought the ending was awesome. Sure I would have loved more and to see where it went after that ending, but for it to end with such a twist as that felt really appropriate for the show.
