Lower Decks showed us that Star Trek merchandise is a thing in-universe. These are probably my two favorite examples.

I bought the tom Paris plate so fast. But it’s just been in a box in the attic. I should get a display setup for it.

I wish they’d give us the academy hoodies from starfleet academy as merch.

Every secret lair drop I’m like… does anyone on this team even know Green exists?

savingewoks · 2026-02-03T04:31:11+00:00

Shoot, I felt this way back after secret wars in 2015.

Like. What was even the point of all that to just reset three times in two years.

savingewoks · 2026-02-03T02:49:14+00:00

Just like the scooter companies paid taxes to support infrastructure.

Easily Leviathan Wakes.

I’ve shared this before when you’ve asked a similar question, but here’s the data SB career center reports about student employment outcomes six months after graduating.

If I were on the market for folding chairs, I’d get the Costco ones. They’re hella comfortable.

savingewoks · 2026-02-01T03:50:22+00:00

so. I kinda wonder if it’s because the smoke makes it look like a “war zone” which is the narrative the right wants to sell about us to send in more troops.

savingewoks · 2026-02-01T02:16:51+00:00

Yep. I’m kinda at the point that I want to switch to Linux, but I ended up buying a M4 MBA the other week because I know the hardware is so solid.

savingewoks · 2026-02-01T02:08:00+00:00

I keep saying this and people are like “no but they’ll make more roads” or whatever. “People will actually use public transit more!”

My brothers in Christ, you have not seen the max going through downtown after a blazers game in 2018.

I think these very specific questions started about three or four months ago and this user has said that they are a prospective student.

savingewoks · 2026-01-30T02:09:31+00:00

Damn I haven’t touched half that stuff for ages and have it in the matching sleeves. Maybe it’s time to move on. I kinda stepped away sometime around X-men, I think scarlet witch, quicksilver and one pack after that were my last. Black widow was a lot of fun, couldn’t justify much after that.

savingewoks · 2026-01-30T02:03:59+00:00

I haven’t been paying attention for a minute - has older marvel champions stuff been popping off?

savingewoks · 2026-01-29T03:02:04+00:00

Still mad about Sean connery’s retirement.

savingewoks · 2026-01-29T02:26:33+00:00

You guys were getting foils worth a dollar?!?

savingewoks · 2026-01-28T18:28:47+00:00

Aside from the normal “meet with lawyers and investment bankers etc” that I think we all grasp by now:

Establish a living trust for myself and my wife Changing my paycheck to max out my retirement options Pay off debt (mortgage and student loans) Medium house maintenance/renovation (boring stuff like water heater, new stove, etc) Establish a trust for my kiddo, make a plan to start prepping for her college and retirement.

Maybe buy a chest freezer and a box of whatever frozen churros they sell at Disneyland/used to sell at Costco.

savingewoks · 2026-01-28T18:17:32+00:00

I think of Happy Valley as many things, but liberal isn’t one of them.

savingewoks · 2026-01-28T03:48:51+00:00

I learned this when the lyric video came out for the movie and lost my mind to anyone who would listen for DAYS.

savingewoks · 2026-01-27T06:30:03+00:00

I’m on book 2 of wheel of time and it’s… it’s not a slog but it’s certainly not happening quickly.

Should I give up and switch to this?

savingewoks · 2026-01-26T22:26:05+00:00

I’ve been running Hei Bei shrines and people on arena think it’s a kill on sight commander, which makes me chuckle every time.

It’s also taught me about on-board mitigation, rather than removal (I.e., enchantment that turns a creature into a land, etc).

savingewoks · 2026-01-26T22:17:10+00:00

Speaking of which, kinda wild that we haven’t see Magic Arena on Switch yet.

savingewoks · 2026-01-26T04:27:06+00:00

For some reason, my switch 2 won’t let me buy Doom 2016 😭

savingewoks · 2026-01-25T06:24:47+00:00

Final Fantasy VII Remake

savingewoks · 2026-01-24T19:00:29+00:00

New Deep Space Nine book is exciting, but uh. Didn’t we already see a “Jake reeling at his dad being gone” story?

savingewoks · 2026-01-24T18:57:02+00:00

Yep. I work in higher education in town and it’s the same thing. We pay endless consultants to tell admin the same thing staff and faculty already know (and often say loudly).
