Other than every ship having its own insignia at least. The delta shield was originally only worn by Enterprise crew members.

Seems to be the case. Mr Scott would wear a kilt as part of his dress uniform, several Bajoran officers wore their traditional earring even with their standard uniform and Worf was almost never seen without his Baldric.

Funny thing is, it wasn't ALL that consistent even back in the day. Sure, Sisko was considered a bit of a kook for loving the ancient sport of Baseball, but the TNG department heads regularly had poker nights and Worf played soccer as a youth.

See, that's what I don't understand. The Tony Stark character was ACTUALLY a genius engineer. Musk is a programmer, and not a great one. The only things they have in common is that they are both industrialists.

Sheesh.... She has a degree in law and thought THOSE were good arguments to defend her actions. She's an idiot and I kind of wonder HOW she ever ended up getting a job as a prosecutor in the first place.

I say go with ranked choice voting for the speaker, personally.

They'll forget it even exists until some accountant notices that resources are still being allocated to it and they'll shut it down.

The stupid goes both ways, unfortunately..... What I wonder is how the rather large group who are both antisemitic and anti-Muslim decide which side to support.

Look again, they are. It's just not quite as noticeable as the other items.

The Israelis and the Palestinians BOTH deserve better leadership.... You don't fight atrocities by committing more atrocities. Does the current far right party in charge in Israel want to create another generation of Muslim extremists because painting every Palestinian as a Hamas collaborator...

I really do hate that people think that in order to support Palestinians one must also support Hamas. One can be critical of how Palestinians have been treated by the Israeli state while still seeing Hamas a barbarous organization that does WAY more harm to the Palestinians than it helps...

May have considered it, but thought it was too low a possibility or knew that the tech in it's current state wouldn't be able to offer much protection in such a scenario anyway. Not sure what Hamas thinks the end-goal would be by doing this. Giving Israelis an excuse to crack down on...

It wasn't even an ally, really. It was an insanely rich person who happens to be a private citizen of a country we have an alliance with. That makes it even worse.

Rhode Island isn't a real state, it's just the disputed territory between Connecticut and Massachusetts. People just say it's real so those two states don't start hurling rocks at each other.

Rich people buy everything with loans. it's a way to get out of paying taxes. Most of his wealth is tied up in stocks. If he cashes out the stocks, he pays taxes on them, if he borrows against his stocks, he doesn't. It's one of the many ways the system is broken.

Not so sure. They can probably get book deals once this is all over.

Not quite. Patric McHenry is Speaker Pro tempore. Doesn't quite have the same level of prestige as Speaker of the House, but can do most of said duties while the spot is empty.

Musk just keeps doing stuff like that. The rescue diver incident from a few years ago comes to mind.

Keep in mind the shows treatment of women was considered progressive for the time. We have, as a society, improved in that regard since the mid-to-late 60s, thankfully. As for Shatner's speech cadence, it's played up significantly for humor in the parodies and jokes.
