You mean when they called in the army to gun us down?

roofuskit ,

Even the great arctic fox experiment couldn't seem to breed that out.

roofuskit ,

That's news to me. But it's probably been over a decade since I last looked into it. At one point they were even selling domesticated foxes to people as pets but were warning about their scenting. Thanks for the update!

100% of recovered stolen wages go to the plaintiff employees.

roofuskit ,

Because enforcement is vastly understaffed compared to the legal teams at all these corporations.

roofuskit ,

Is important to have them on the record lying before they are proven guilty.

roofuskit ,

No, they just keep the overall vision on track. They are an executive producer who can overrule pretty much everyone else on set for the sake of the vision and the budget.

'Star Trek' Franchise Reboot: Simon Kinberg Eyed for Paramount Movie

So now this just sounds like a Trek prequel, not specifically a Kelvin prequel.

Oh yes all that valuable canon of, "oh actually they met the Borg earlier and nobody recorded it. And "oh actually they met the ferengi earlier and nobody recorded it."

This poster is even better than the show.

Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis after city council forces them to pay drivers more ( apnews.com )

Lyft and Uber said they will cease operations in Minneapolis after the city’s council voted Thursday to override a mayoral veto and require that ride-hailing services increase driver wages to the equivalent of the local minimum wage of $15.57 an hour....

Their only edge over taxi companies was their ability to avoid current labor laws.

roofuskit ,

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.

The show that was rewritten because it was too Trek? I really wanted to love Picard, but you’re right.

roofuskit ,

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.

roofuskit ,

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.

roofuskit ,

The drew the line at “Fuck the Empire!”

roofuskit ,

If Trader Joe’s, Space X, and Amazon succeed in destroying the labor board I fear that’s all that will be left.

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. The image quality may be better on laserdisc.

roofuskit ,

Just an FYI it would take a lot of money and I mean A LOT of money to offset the mental and emotional anguish caused by a 1 hour commute. Guaranteed way more than any company would be willing to pay.

roofuskit ,

Can we as a society buddy filter out any news with this idiots name until the announcement of his death?

roofuskit ,

Good, get the piece of the pie back that they weasled from you.

roofuskit ,

I’d day the disease one is the best fit.

roofuskit ,

Which means they will absolutely get more if they just unionize. Tesla blinked, time to get what you deserve people.

roofuskit ,

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.

Edit: yeah the video in the article is 4 years old.

Lol, “we can’t serve lunch to rich people unless someone is payed starvation wages” is not the high ground they think it is.

You know they’re idiots because someone approved using papyrus for their sign.

roofuskit ,

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.

roofuskit ,

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?

roofuskit ,

You would just generate gravity in the lift pod itself.

roofuskit ,

It’s not your bag. Not everything needs to be for everyone.

roofuskit ,

If everyone you meet is an asshole, you’re the asshole.

roofuskit ,

If you’re worried about the water being waste recirculation pumps would do. Set them to run based off motion in your bathroom and kitchen.
