Chewie's head on a robot spider-body would be bitchin', but didn't they already do that with Darth Maul in Clone Wars? or did I dream that up?

Now, Chewie's head floating in an armored bacta tank on top of a massive Gort-like body would be pretty cool.

Perhaps they should have read immanuel on how to concoct propaganda.

From what I've seen dumb TVs are usually a few hundred more than a smart TV with similar specs. In fact, I've looked in the big box stores near me and can't even find dumb TVs. Even the crappy 32-inch 720p $200 Hisense is a smart TV.

"Sorry, but you clicked 'okay' on the terms and conditions. It specifically says that we reserve the right to alter or remove software offerings on our devices at our discretion.

It also says that your first-born child is to be delivered to Samsung headquarters freight prepaid within 90 days of acknowledgement of the terms.

I always thought of the Culture as the Federation, but super-hardcore. In the Culture, individuals can just upload their mind to a new, undamaged body if they're sufficiently injured that repair isn't an option. Even just popping the head off is enough to revive someone if they don't have a backup and can catch it in time. If the repairs will take a while, they can drop into a simulated reality to do something else while they wait. Some individuals get tired of living and decide to just end it -- no backup. Others get tired of living and have themselves warehoused until something interesting happens somewhere down the line.

But if they made Trek like that, I don't think 80's television audiences could have handled it. I'm not certain 21st century TV audiences are ready for that.

I've seen these trucks with "not for hire" signs on them. If you have to add signage to your personal vehicle because it has been mistaken for a tow rig or commercial hauler, you might want to rethink your choices.

As well as the near-hourly updates on scam calls, and the individual with clipboard that was suspiciously ringing the front door bell.

Wait a minute.... what's that little pyramid all the way over there?!

So does this solely affect tax status? Or does it mean that they must also divest corporate assets (real estate, vehicles, investments, etc.)? What are the practical effects of this action?

At that point, it's just cream.
