    Plucky crew of Star Trek: Discovery seeks a strange artifact in S5 trailer

    I mostly disagree. Sorry. If there is not a crisis, episodic or season-long, what's the point of the show? It's not a documentary about space travel and Alcubierre propulsion. And of course it's focused on one crew, because it's not about seven billion stories on a planet, and viewers prefer...

    Google’s 21-year deal with Apple is the “heart” of monopoly case, judge says

    Why do so many feel that the free market can’t operate by itself without government interference? Google is simply head and shoulders above all the other search engines, even if some feel it isn’t as good as it was. So what if people have inertia and never change the default, it’s called freedom.

    Musk-owned Twitter stiffed employees on promised bonuses, class action says

    Verbal promises can be legally binging, given a set of circumstances, like offer and acceptance, consideration, and some evidence that the person making the promise actually wanted to do that, and finally that there's evidence that he did so. Not insurmountable. But you know you would be fired...

    <em>TNG</em> reunion injects a little fun into <em>Star Trek: Picard</em>’s uneven final season

    I think it’s funny that the comm badge issue is what concerns you, but the transporter beam dematerializing and rematerializing humans does not. That being said, it’s entertainment, suspend your disbelief, unlike so many here that seem to never have a good day.

    Why is a small Swedish automaker a decade ahead of the rest of the industry?

    I read other sites, including one that is universally pro Tesla and anti everything else, especially Toyota. I’ve tried to get them to see the Koenigsegg way, but so far to no avail. These guys are amazing from top to bottom.

    Removing a GPS tracking device from your car isn’t theft, court rules

    My argument is completely different: The police GAVE HIM the device, for free. To me he is under no obligation to return it, leave it in place, or take care of it in any way.

    Pick your poison: The potential Iranian responses to US drone strike

    “...a few stiff jabs on the chin...”? I hope you never have to have a military bereavement team come to your house regarding one of those stiff jabs on the chin. Believe me, it’s not something you ever get over.
