Thermoelectric was my first thought, since it can heat or cool, to maintain a set point, warm food, or chill beverages, as implemented in some fancy lunch boxes. I didn't know if the same applies at this scale, but I'm assuming this unit uses a compressor.

CRTs? What's the advantage there, other than nostalgia?

VI is on the frozen planet? With the Shakespeare?

I remember V being 'meh' and VI being off the rails, but I may not have seen either since they came out.

Edit: maybe I should watch one, or both.

Hmm, I usually see Nemesis pitted against Insurrection. Although I enjoyed both (thanks to lowered expectations) the latter tagged the cake as feeling like a not particularly well produced, but extra-long episode.

V and VI are the ones I get mixed up, but I remember being more disappointed in Undiscovered Country than Final Frontier. Perhaps it was just compounding disappointment at that point....

And we could do the same without the billionaires. Since they don't create value, we can skip the part where the money goes to them, and directly support our communities. Eliminate billionaires as a drain on our society.

That may have worked in the past, but not recently, at least not around here. Pump won't function until the attendant activates it. (Per the signs, "cash customers pay before dispensing gas.")

I figured he would have something, just didn't wanted to pass up the opportunity that him not having bank accounts is sketchy af, making him a liability for this country, and potentially an asset to another.

Johnson doesn't have cell service because he didn't pay the bill, as he doesn't have any bank accounts.

Silly humans, rings are for wraiths!

Hey, if we don't make micro plastic in our kitchen sinks to wash down the drain, who will?

For me, it's usually getting a little too real on FB. but also, rarely as bad as I think reactions might be.
