Breakfast is overrated I haven’t eaten breakfast for years and I never felt like shit because I skipped breakfast. Just eat healthy and get enough calories, doesn’t matter when you do it. It’s not like you have burned all your dinner calories when you wake up.
Breakfast is only necessary if you are young and growing or do heavy manual labor. But even for labor you can carb load during dinner the day before.
I asked this question sometime ago on The Orville’s subreddit, and surprisingly got mixed responses. I assume most here however, are going to prefer Star Trek, specifically TNG that its aping from. For the record I do prefer TNG as well, but rewatching The Orville, after you get past its kinda sucky first season, I really...
I like them both. Sure new Star Trek isn’t close to what TNG was and Orville feels more like a true sequel to TNG. But I can understand why Star Trek had to change directions. Just compare the production value between the two shows. A modern Star Trek show that looks like Orville would never pull the numbers that would satisfy Paramount, since casual viewers probably wouldn’t even try the show. And to justify the higher production value they had to write more action based stories and a shorter season.
Revenue is better. Actual profits is very hard to measure since the numbers are obfuscated. These companies often stash their IP rights in a tax haven under a different company. Like how Apple uses the island of Jersey. End of the year the offshore company sends a massive license fee bill and boom their taxable income is slashed significantly.
Doesn’t it take at least a decade of working in the warehouse to get a seat in a truck? And how many years do you need to drive before you reach that salary? Tech workers can earn six figures right out of college.
