If you haven’t seen caravan of courage and battle for Endor you’re missing out on some of the first Star Wars extended universe. I love those movies, campy as hell, but fun and weird.

I have a Nissan leaf and installed a level 2 outlet at my house to avoid this.

It charges overnight so I wake up and drive to work with a full battery.

Since I usually use it to commute it’s perfect. I have had to use chadmo stations (level 3 and slower than Tesla stations) when on longer trips. That takes about 45 minutes to fully charge? Usually I just top up so I can get home if my range is a bit short.

Some of the newer EVs can use super fast charging stations and fully charge in under 20 mins but those stations are rare. I think to get widespread adoption we would need cars that can hyper charge (or whatever it’s called) and those chargers to be all over.

I was driving a Volvo xc70 with the flip up rear facing third row seats.

That thing was choice.

I could fit so much stuff and friends/family in it and the gas mileage was heaps better than an suv (not amazing but better).
I wish there were more out there being made.

Now I’m driving a Nissan leaf and when I got it titled it was listed as a station wagon which I thought was funny.

Thanks! I haven’t seen/heard about this but I like the art style.

Is the series called present day present time?

this is how you end up with a big top burgers campaign

Sounds like someone just hasn’t found their Lifeday Spirit.

I stream through Roku (great for plex but no way to block ads on YouTube) and the ads got so bad I paid for premium.

I hate it because I’m reinforcing their shitty business choices but it was like being bullied everyday. YouTube is all I really use for entertainment aside from plex so that’s been one silver lining.

I really love pod people. I introduced mst3k to my friends I made in college my freshman year with this and they didn’t think I was a huge weirdo! Instead they all just fell in love with trumpy.

but they have gagh instead of brisket

Man, online recipe sites have gotten so bad in the last few years.

There’s like a page of text talking about the food while the page is swimming with intrusive ads or promotions. I hate it.

It’s like the worst parts of old school internet pop is ads gained sentience and a love for cooking.

It’s always a game of finding and clicking print recipe as fast as I can. That and immersive reader have helped on mobile.

I watched Marry Andrews (the musical) as a kid and now I never forget how to find the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Thank you for this

I can say that voyager was a lot of fun but I had a hard time with thing after that until lower decks. I tried enterprise, Picard and disco but I didn’t like either. I haven’t tried brave new worlds so I can’t say anything about that one.

I think it’s worth trying the new shows and seeing if any of them appeal to you. Lower decks is definitely a goofy cartoon but it has a ton of heart and feels like enterprise in a way most other shows don’t. Plus it does fan service well in a fun way.

I’m good with the lights, it’s the music in every single store or public place that eventually starts to grind me down. I can only hear the same songs so many times

I mostly lurk or comment like this but I’ve found the community to be much better over here. I can’t see myself going back.

Honestly, I think everything about lower decks slaps. It’s felt much more like Star Trek than some of the newer shows that when it came out I was hooked instantly.

Friday is when shore leave starts

“Doctor! Set course and go to warp !” “Yes doctor!” “Doctor! Doctor reports trouble with the starboard nacel!” “We’ll tell the doctor I need that fixed yesterday!” “Damnit doctor, I’m a doctor not that doctor, you hailed medbay by mistake”
