"There's every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future"

I'm reading this to mean that the S31 movie is coming out sometime this summer. Between Discovery and Lower Decks. After October or so doesn't sound 'very neat future' to me.

I'm also not reading much into the 'trying to figure out' how to get the movies to the big screen. We know that S31 will be a P+ exclusive. Regardless of if it's because of some preexisting contract with what was CBS All Access when the original project got green lit all those years ago or because S31's lore leans too heavily on S1-3 Discovery to stand on its own, S31 was never going to be in major theaters.

The purported Picard, Kelvin 4, or even the pitched Lower Decks movies? Those are probably going to actually be in theaters.

Mm… again not a lawyer, but I think that question goes beyond the scope of the document.

It basically gives the government permission to hold renters accountable for using software to artificially raise prices. What form that accountability takes is not addressed. Either that’s covered under existing collusion laws or is up to the courts.

So, it’s an essential ingredient to the cake that you’re describing… but unless prosecution (or whatever the term actually is) brings that up (I assume?), it won’t happen.

Say you did a study that discovered that folks who actively run are statistically unlikely to have respiratory issues. How much of that is because being physically active acts as a kind of preventative maintenance vs how much of that is a kind of self culling, where folks with respiratory issues are unlikely to seek exercise.

The end result is ultimately the same, but the mechanics behind why are different.

Is the wolves’ natural cancer resistance just kicking into over drive, or is natural selection happening?

Chickens are semi-cannibalistic, and if their eggs are broken, they will eat them.

Or at least I assume this bit of trivia is what Larson is after. Sometimes we think he’s playing 4D chess when he’s a few X’s short of a tic-tac-toe. (And the reverse as well)

I mean, that’s easy to say, because we’re not attached to the Leif Ericsson class or anyone onboard.

But would the same argument be made if instead it was Bajor, or Kronos that disappeared from existence?

I have half memories of patents for Mac Laptops with cellular modems from like… the late PowerPC early Intel era.

I wonder what’s changed to make Apple give the green light? Certainly isn’t cellular prices.

I mean, we all probably said similar things about Google 20 years ago. It was a liked company that brought a lot of cool innovations to the web. Or even relatively more recently with Chrome. At launch it was liked, but now it’s weaponized.

To be fair, there are far, FAR worse players than Mozilla. I might even be so far as to be convinced they have benign interests at heart at the moment. But corruption always follows domination.

Just watched the video… it seems like it's asking for Prodigy without acknowledging its existence. 😕

My understanding is that they’re all betazoids of the Lawaxana variety.

This one is from 1985. Check the date in the top right on the other posts. They’re different years.

Contrasting what Shaxs said about his experience at the black mountain… I feel like the Koala intervened in this episode. (And possibly as well in the S2 finale)

Considering how LD loosely follows the plots from the original movies… I guess that just begs the question: What does a Koala need with a space ship?

The first three episodes or so do give off poor first impressions, but once Lower Decks finds its tempo, it keeps it, and absolutely flies with it.
