Chewie’s head on a robot spider-body would be bitchin’, but didn’t they already do that with Darth Maul in Clone Wars? or did I dream that up?
Now, Chewie’s head floating in an armored bacta tank on top of a massive Gort-like body would be pretty cool.
Perhaps they should have read immanuel on how to concoct propaganda.
In a year or ten hence, the people that voted against this will turn their taps and get nothing but brown sludge, then howl “why isn’t the government doing something about this?!?!?”
Currently rewatching. He’s still in Seattle and just got his job back after months of not working and not changing his lifestyle in the slightest. He must not really need the job all that much.

“Gonna fix it up. Pinstripe exterior, a 4-barrel carb. Maybe a Grumman 817 inertial guidance, electronic countermeasures. And when I save a little money, a classic Raytheon X-193 class 2 half-megaton warhead. Then I can show it off at the meetup on weekends.”
From what I’ve seen dumb TVs are usually a few hundred more than a smart TV with similar specs. In fact, I’ve looked in the big box stores near me and can’t even find dumb TVs. Even the crappy 32-inch 720p $200 Hisense is a smart TV.

I always thought of the Culture as the Federation, but super-hardcore. In the Culture, individuals can just upload their mind to a new, undamaged body if they’re sufficiently injured that repair isn’t an option. Even just popping the head off is enough to revive someone if they don’t have a backup and can catch it in time. If the repairs will take a while, they can drop into a simulated reality to do something else while they wait. Some individuals get tired of living and decide to just end it – no backup. Others get tired of living and have themselves warehoused until something interesting happens somewhere down the line.
But if they made Trek like that, I don’t think 80’s television audiences could have handled it. I’m not certain 21st century TV audiences are ready for that.

I wouldn’t buy another piece of Motorola/Lenovo garbage for any amount of money.

Can’t even sign into AT&T to view/report the outage. You can (conveniently enough) sign in to pay your bill if you want. AFAIK, the 70k number is the number of reports at Downdetector. It’s probably 100s of thousands affected, if not millions.
