- Comment on Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more 2 months ago:
Taxis have upped their app game. And a lot of people prefer taxis and drivers who actually know where they are going. Uber and Lyft started by discounting rides and paying for them with VC money. After they took enough taxi market share they had to switch to making a profit so they took it from driver pay. Their only path for making a profit is their ability to skirt labor laws. That’s why they want to pull out of markets that force them to pay drivers better.
- Comment on Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more 2 months ago:
Their only edge over taxi companies was their ability to avoid current labor laws.

The show that was rewritten because it was too Trek?
- Comment on California’s minimum wage isn’t enough to keep up with workers’ costs of living, new report says 2 months ago:
In some states being a state rep isn’t paid well or is only a few weeks of work a year. But I would love a law that makes the Fed minimum wage no less than half a house rep salary.

The drew the line at “Fuck the Empire!”
- Comment on New Star Trek Movie by 'ANDOR' Director – Trek Central 2 months ago:
Clearly you didn’t watch it. Or read any of the huge amount of overwhelmingly positive reviews. It’s not just the best Star Wars in ages, it’s the best show of 2023.
- Comment on Star Trek on LaserDisc, if you've got the right equipment, it looks amazing! (samples in the description) 3 months ago:
They are 480i. But the difference may be that DS9 and Voyager were shot and stored on tape. The laserdisc was sourced from those tapes much earlier so it’s probably a higher quality transfer than the DVDs which came later. Looking on memory alpha the first laser disc releases were about a decade before they made it to DVD. Despite the extra lines on DVD the image quality may be better on laserdisc.

Curious how old this story is, he definitely did not display it at Brick world Chicago last year. But he did bring it several years ago.
- Comment on 'We have no rights.' Frustrated with California wage laws, Moonstone Bistro in Redding cuts lunch service 4 months ago:
And they don’t get that it’s not the regulations demanding fair wages that are the enemy. It’s low wages and high costs for their potential customers that is killing their business.
- Comment on 'We have no rights.' Frustrated with California wage laws, Moonstone Bistro in Redding cuts lunch service 4 months ago:
Lol, “we can’t serve lunch to rich people unless someone is payed starvation wages” is not the high ground they think it is.

Snakes do love us endotherms. Like a comfy self heating rock.
- Comment on Electric eel 4 months ago:
This is not true. The voltage is 3 times higher, that’s part of why it’s so debilitating. If the power (amperage) was 3 times higher that man would not have gotten back up. Their amperage peaks at about 1 amp, which is enough to do some damage.
- Comment on I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD** 4 months ago:
I can tell from the interface it’s a Roku Smart TV of some sort. I have a TCL with Roku and it does not do this crap.

- Comment on If the kids didn't mutiny, would Picard have been killed when the turbolift fell? 4 months ago:
You would just generate gravity in the lift pod itself.
- Comment on If the kids didn't mutiny, would Picard have been killed when the turbolift fell? 4 months ago:
I know the writers just think of them as elevators, but why are we generating artificial gravity in a turnolift shaft just so we can overcome it with another generated force?
