I really want the S5 set, and the S1 poster.

Not really sold on a full set at the moment.

Is that last one granting access to closed APIs?

That’s a double edged sword if I ever heard one.

Lethe. That's who I was thinking of. Like Cornwell was Lethe before she became Lethe.

Wasn’t Cornwell based on a character from TOS, specifically with the same name as an episode title in DIS?

I always felt there was the intent to kill her off, (even before the S2 finale) only to bring her back as an incomplete being.

Yes, and I personally would rather avoid paying a premium over the electricity I can get at home. If I intend to stick to that, then I have to be prepared for when Murphy shows his unwelcome face.

You’re not wrong, but I honestly wonder what the baseline of that would be if America didn’t have this issue, and how much worse it is now because of us.

In Prodigy’s defense, they waited the equivalent of two seasons to play that card, and the execution was IMO, better than what we saw in Picard and Discovery.

The threat of mutual annihilation has discouraged us from nuking each other.

But I question the durability of that policy as the equator becomes less and less able to support life.

It’s worth noting that the CNN article doesn’t say what happens if your taxes for the year are lower than the incentive.

I assume you get the full incentive at the dealership, and then are responsible for the difference come tax day.

So if your taxes are… say $4,000 and you buy a new car with the $7,500 rebate. That’s a difference of $3,500 and your taxes become 4K + 3.5K = $7,500 for that year… or so I’m assuming.

So I looked up the specs for the first 5K-ish India car I found.

As far as I can tell, it has every feature you’re saying is responsible for western automakers charging around 6 times the cost of this car… sans heated seats and purported safety standards.

Chevy charges an additional $1K for the package that adds heated seats to their Bolt EV.

So, am I to take you at face value that you’re inferring that safety concerns and standards are responsible for the remainder of the price gouging?

No.

If the Jaguar were to harm a human, it would be put down.

For whatever reason, the big car sites don’t list the range, so that’s a bummer.

But if you’re looking at new, and especially in the 2-3 year range that shouldn’t be nearly the issue it currently is.
