Through a valued partnership between Propstore Ltd. and CBS Studios Inc., an amicable agreement among all parties involved has been reached to restore Captain Jean-Luc Picard’s iconic Star Trek: The Next Generation captain’s chair to the Star Trek Archive,” a statement on Propstore’s website now reads. “The chair will be preserved as a piece of science fiction history. While the whereabouts of the chair had been unknown for three decades, the Star Trek Archive is currently working on plans to showcase it for Star Trek fans to see firsthand in the coming year.

I had the Starfleet Academy game… waaaaay ahead of its time… as in the hardware really couldn’t handle 3D combat.

I wish the actors were cleared to reveal little things… otherwise these interviews are just barely interactive NDAs.

Huh… I wonder if the Borg Corgi is a homage to the “Ensign Sue Must Die” saga, which featured a Borg Beagle.

The range of both vehicles is comparable, so I’d argue it boils down to which dealer is more convenient to visit for the odd maintenance.

(That aside, I’m personally dubious of opting for a lease, especially if money is tight long term. But I’m the sort of person who’d opt to get every damned mile out of a vehicle I could before begrudgingly admitting it’s time for a replacement.)

Semi-off topic… but I’m surprised they aren’t making/marketing a Lightning Bug.

On paper, that’s a great idea.

In practice though, you can expect the dealers to markup the difference, so the consumer pays exactly the same.

At least with the tax credit, dealers still have to account for sticker shock.

Edit: Looks like you’ve edited the message since my reply. So continuing:

They do offer subsidies on home chargers, both installation and the device itself, also through tax credits. Though you have to be careful, if your tax credits on the car exceed your taxes for that year, the credit for the charger is worthless.

I may be smart to make your EV purchase towards the end of one tax year, and the charger at the beginning of the next.

What a world we live in, where “most affordable” and $70,000 dollars can be used in the same sentence.

It still burns that Prodigy was barely included in the tribute to Trek animation.

I got the book too! Did you have any luck de-dacting the Rubber Ducky Room pages?

Article mentions nothing with regards to holding corporations accountable nor any plan or threat of action on the president’s part.

… I really dislike how headlines are designed, not to inform, but even to the opposite in the name of drawing clicks. I realize this isn’t on you, but more the AP, but still.

TL;DR The warning light FONT is too small.
