  Why’d he do that, scalping?

  I hadn’t heard of that event

  Gotcha, that makes sense

  It’s like that anecdote about the $50 shoes breaking down within a year vs the $150 shoes that last forever

  Where is it defined as 200-400k a year?

  I thought it was based off of savings and ability to vacation

  I just take issue with the word “rich”

  Like all those people are poor, primarily as a result of the politicians and corporate greed. I ain’t rich but I’m luckily far from that 40% grouping. I’d probably be grouped as the elusive middle class

  You don’t have to be rich, that’s what loans are for Solar is also way cheaper in other non-us countries

  Also balcony solar is coming to the US so it’ll be more accessible

  IPoAC

  It sometimes can be a better option to move data, since storage density is pretty high

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The best answer to "when did Star Trek get woke?"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m mainly responding to your quote about new things being against the established order and my view of NuTrek is extremely biased since I mainly get my information from RedLetterMedia but do you think NuTrek ackchyually can sit on its own laurels?

  I did watch Picard’s 3 seasons and I think it highlighted pretty well the problems with NuTrek:

  • retconning established lore to the extreme (slavery vis a vis androids is cool with the federation, earth has super drug problems)
  • gratuitous violence (I was disgusted watching the equivalent of SAW with the Borg torture porn)
  • action action action (can’t have any philosophy, gotta have fast paced machinegun phaser shootouts)

  I could probably come up with more issues, but it’s been a bit and I’m never rewatching Picard. NuTrek is a far cry from the old thinking man’s trek and is really watered down.
