That’d be big if it actually pans out. Iowa wasn’t considered a battleground state, so I’m not sure anyone had it worked into a road to 270 model. (Iowa’s six electoral votes, if anyone’s curious.)

“It's not working.”

“...We're ~~both~~ all reversing the polarity.”

“Yes, I know that.”

“There's ~~two~~ four of us. I'm reversing it, you're reversing it back again. We're confusing the polarity!”

Wouldn’t it be more energy efficient to just electrify the line rather than charging & hauling around batteries? The technology has been around since *checks notes* the late 1800s.

At what point does the judge start a contempt hearing for failing to comply with court orders?

So not only do they loose the direct revenue from the subscribers, but because the readership has fallen significantly & publicly, advertisement revenue is going to fall, too, as the advertisers know the paper isn’t reaching as many readers.

It's super annoying, but even though they're all airing at the same time, Picard, Lower Decks, and Prodigy all take place at slightly different times. At least they're consistent with TNG stardates, where 41000 is 2364, and each 1000 stardates equals one Earth year, so you can get a year from a captain's log entry. From Memory Alpha:

Lower Decks: 2380-2382

Prodigy: 2383–2385

Picard: 2399-2341 (Ignoring flashbacks)

I miss the TNG / DS9 / VOY era, when shows airing concurrently all take place at the same time.

It’s not much of a commitment. He’s never going to say that he lost.

Such an upgrade over the previous two. Three whole cities to explore, plus the countryside. They managed to stream the world data from the disc as you moved about, so no more loading screens between islands like III and VC had. This was the first GTA where you could swim, so water was no longer a death trap, and the first to introduce skills, so you could swim further and faster as you got better.

She had a stroke in 2015, but, through the encouragement and support of her friends in the music community, she recovered enough to do occasional live performances again by 2022. The recording of that live set won a Grammy.
