I find it fascinating how there are so many high profile POIs in that list. Like, specifically that they’re high profile and not from the same line of work.

If you’re working in Hollywood, you’d expect to know stars, but only incidentally politicians. If you’re in DC, the reverse is true.

I mean, it is Larson. Being baffling is kinda his thing, unintentionally anachronistic or not.

That said, so long as Dr. Who is still a thing, folks should maintain a (distorted) understanding. Sort of like those 3D printed save icons.

I hope he’s working on Kid Icarus or even another new project. The man has earned a prolonged vacation from Smash Bros.

Hydroelectric production has dropped by about six percent since last year, causing it to slip from 6.1 percent to 5.8 percent of the total production. Depending on the next couple of months, that may allow solar to pass hydro on the list of renewables.

That’s a little disappointing. Hydro seems to always be forgotten amongst renewable sources. Granted, it’s the most location specific of the renewables, but still.

I hate it when the captions are cut off.

The narrative problem with the kids arriving in Federation territory in a stolen ship was that the Protostar would be impounded and the kids would be sent packing.

They needed a narrative reason to give the kids a chance to command the Protostar and have their own adventures, which means dragging out returning it to Starfleet. But rather than resorting to stalling tactics, they opted to have the kids fight to keep it out of their hands, and for good reason.

With Picard and Discovery, I felt more like that trope was used because the writers had no better ideas on how to keep the stakes high.

With Prodigy, I felt that the stakes were made essential to its premise.

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.

Asking the deep questions here.

T'Lyn thinks it may be the result of a temporal wake, while Boimler thinks this should be brought to the attention of the Department of Temporal Investigations.

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?

The article implies the self driving feature may be a significant contributor.

Considering relatively few other brands have similar autonomous driving, and that autonomous driving technology is still very much in its infancy I'd wager just having a classification of accident currently unique to Tessla is enough to put it in the lead.

I'm distrustful of anyone who felt like sharing this.
