Re: Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Coming to CBS All Access
I feel that pre-TOS is more interesting than post-Nemesis, but I don't particularly care for returning to the episodic format.

Re: This man is about to launch himself in his homemade rocket to prove the Earth is flat
I know, right? Idiot flat-earther (but I repeat myself) launches himself into the sky in a homemade steam-powered rocket and "mysteriously" dies. The headlines write themselves.

Re: Boy Scouts of America file for bankruptcy following massive number of child sex abuse cases.
But, but, Christians are more moral than those atheists. "Those atheists"? I wish BSA was an atheist organization, but it's plainly not. My troop was not affiliated with a church, nor were the leaders particularly religious (outwardly, anyway), but I've read of some that were. Your experi...

Re: SUPERTHREAD: 2020 United States Elections
At least Sanders has energy and a clear vision that excites people, and his grassroots fundraising machine is a wonder to behold. His combination of strong youth support, strong labour/working class support , and strong Latino support could be a winner as well. My biggest concern is that bitter ex-...

Re: William Barr lets Roger Stone off easy, four prosecutors resign in protest.
Maybe he thinks that actually pardoning someone who is so close to him and his shenanigans crosses a line that going through his AG doesn't? (They both are far beyond the line to me)

Re: SUPERTHREAD: 2020 United States Elections
Another excellent argument for Bernie is that going by this analysis, Iowa proves his ability to actually win against a stacked deck- which is going to be very important come November, when the deck will be heavily stacked via corporate funding, gerrymandering, voter supression, foreign interferenc...

Re: Picard - general discussion [spoilers]
I get that the show is called Picard and why the studio had Patrick Stewart return in his iconic role (WE WANT RATINGS DAMN YOU!), but let's be honest here, you could swap in a random 80 year old for Sir Patrick and it wouldn't change the plot or require any re-writing. Could you, though? How many ...

Re: Can a TV be used as a desktop monitor?
I've used an older LCD TV as a monitor for the last year and a half, the only issues i have with it is that it has pretty bad image retention. for example if you watch a 20min youtube video without full-screening it and then switch to something else the video title and border will remain for a few ...

The rest of the field seems to exist solely to convert O2 to CO2; except for useful idiot Tulsi Gabbard who exists as a fig leaf for people secretly intending to vote Trump in the Presidential election.

Re: The Impeachment of Donald Trump.
It does come off as though the current House majority is more concerned with getting rid of the President than they are with doing so in the right and proper manner.

They're not going to get those guys to testify without a lengthy court battle that they might not win. It would be nice if it would happen, but as you say, there's already enough damning evidence.

The previous episode would debunk that theory, because once it was known that Mando stole the child, everyone's tracker was triggered from him being so close.NecronLord wrote: ↑2019-12-03 12:15pmBut if it only tracks the species it might explain why we never see it used on humans.

Re: The Mandalorian Discussion Thread (spoilers and such)
The part of bounty hunting that organics are good at is obviated by the tracking chips and the fact that frontal assault seemed to work.
