Yet the movies only got successful once they got a lot of the TV guys back for set design, wardrobe and makeup for the second movie.

I think the point of the invisible bridge was that you had to really believe it existed because only then you would later activate it. (I really have the feeling the writers were inspired by a movie or something...)

But I agree: The whole logic of the place was a free pass for the writers to do what they wanted. So maybe it's better not to look too close.

Also: Noone not even mentioning the weird background effects (they were obviously added in post so neither the writers nor the actors had the opportunity to really react to it) was big miss for me. It would have been the first thing I would try to scan with my boxy tricorder...

Spock calling La'An an excellent dance instruc-tor was a nice nod to his way of pronouncing certain ship instruments...

The funny thing is: The campaign relies on politicians to define the final implementation of this. That will most likely fail spectacularly. Adding worker rights to it will most likely increase the chance of success, because at least that is something they have experts for...

So he shows them the movies...because that's not at all how it's phrased in the books...

Discourse exists and is free to self-host and open source. Compared to classic forum software (like most *bb variants) it is a pleasure to use and feels not like a remnant of a lost age.

My dog refuses to do 2FA so that's not going to happen anytime soon... /s

The funny thing is: This will work against them regarding the EU DMA regulations. If no one uses their offer it will not be interpreted as nobody wants to use it, but instead it will be interpreted as the offer was unfair.

That way Firefox has to submit a different app for Europe, splitting its userbase and making it more complicated for developers. They are pulling every trick they can...

Lamborghini Huracan: fast and exciting

Fiat Panda: outstanding fuel efficiency

Trucks: lots of hauling space

Why not build trucks with the chassis of a Lamborghini and the motor of a Panda. It would solve all of our problems...
