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!
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.
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."
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....
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
I’m not really clear on why the turbolift would fall in the first place… Is that a gravity plating thing? I guess gravity plating must work without power?...
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?
I really don’t like Lower Decks. Before you downvote, I would never tell anyone it’s bad or that they shouldn’t like it. I just really can’t figure out why most people seem to like it so much....
It takes a few minutes for my tankless water heater to warm up, so we end up wasting a lot of water in our shower. Is there a way to avoid this? A friend mentioned a “comfort valve” or something? What is it and how does it work? Or is there another solution? Thx!
