HobbitFoot,

Seems like a lot of them aren’t greasy men in tank tops.

HobbitFoot,

It comes out a lot more at work events. Some people like them, but a lot of people don’t and are just faking.

HobbitFoot,

Only to Plato.

HobbitFoot,

Most mortgage calculators add in property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees to give a truer cost to potential homebuyers. So, if you are paying all cash, the mortgage calculator is going to give you the additional costs only.

A lot of times, it is paid in escrow to the mortgage company. However, even if the mortgage company isn’t collecting it, it still needs to be paid.

It depends on the area. Both Texas and New Jersey have very high property taxes, so it wouldn’t be that surprising. Or it could be expected insurance costs like in Florida, which could be very high.

HobbitFoot,

Sisko is complicated. He engaged in war crimes to capture Eddington and engaged in some heavy espionage to get the Romulans in the Dominion War. Yet, Sisko is also probably the reason why Earth didn’t have a fascist coup and always acted in the best interests of Bajor even if it was against the Federation.

HobbitFoot,

Yeah. The repeating of “I can live with it” isn’t for him to try to convince us or the future, but himself.

HobbitFoot,

They’re smiling. How bad can it be if they are smiling?

HobbitFoot,

And Frakes was down with his interest being played by a man.

HobbitFoot,

Garak would be a power bottom.

HobbitFoot,

Yeah. It feels like an occasion to mark, not celebrate.

HobbitFoot,

Yeah, but it is really funny how many people are putting out documentary quality output on YouTube.

HobbitFoot,

Insurrection was probably a better sendoff.

HobbitFoot,

Both Seasons 2 and 3 were spoiled for me and everything the spoilers described made me not want to watch the show. This is in contrast to spoilers due SNW or Lower Decks that made the shows sound far more interesting.

But I feel like the damning view is setting the TNG crew on the bridge and having it feel really off. It wasn’t even like when Scotty drank on the holodeck version of the original Enterprise. The crew looked off on the old bridge in a way that felt strange. Yeah, everyone is back, but it really feels off.

HobbitFoot,

I liked Season 3 of Discovery ok; it felt like they were trying to make Andromeda in the Star Trek universe. I didn’t watch seasons 1&2 though

HobbitFoot,

I had a low bar, but at least Space Hercules didn’t need to invade Space Iraq to stop a planet from developing Space WMD’s in Discovery.

HobbitFoot,

Just like those lamps.

HobbitFoot,

8th place? I thought Ralphie won the tournament.

HobbitFoot,

Redwood forests are supposed to burn every once in a while. The problem is if too much energy are available to burn.

HobbitFoot,

Well, it is hard when the first four seasons was effectively the The Lord of the Rings trilogy in terms of in-universe scope.

HobbitFoot,

Looks like OP touched something worse.

Where Are All The Bicycles?? (startrek.website)

I have an issue in general with scifi totally ignoring the existence of bicycles, but star trek is particularly fun to think about since in so many situations beaming down in an away team with electric mountain bicycles would be incredibly useful in a basic utilitarian sense. Like shuttles, bicycles could be treated as...

HobbitFoot,

ST:Picard showed that Earth basically had a public transporter network around the world. It is how Picard goes from his vineyard in France to Starfleet headquarters. So, it isn’t all car flying cities.

However, if these are the people making decisions to deploy resources, why would they think of having ground vehicles at all? The only reason why the dune buggy was in Nemesis was because Patrick Stewart wanted it. Otherwise, it doesn’t really make sense.

HobbitFoot,

The absolute worst is when those kinds of engineers graduate but are incapable of thinking about the problems they are designing solutions for.

HobbitFoot,

A few years ago, I had to tell someone to convert some pictures since they took them in .heic and being able to see them wasn’t standard. Their response was to manually change the file extension on each of hundreds of files from .heic to .jpeg.

HobbitFoot,

Maybe the vow of silence will shut him up.
