Deleted. Sorry I didn't see the thread already started.

OK, me, this is from a couple years ago. I was on a long bike ride one of the last really hot days of September. I took a break in a park with a sculpture/fountain that was spraying a fine mist. I'm enjoying the mist and thought, hey, I should take a selfie. I use this because it's ME and it's...

I think this will be my future favourite quote.

I'm posting this in General instead of TOS because it's about possibilities... Just turned on the TV and watched what randomly was broadcast and it happened to be S2 E26 Assignment Earth, one of my favourite episodes ever since I was around 8 or 9. As I understand it, it was supposed to be a...

So first, I get the main history for it. In the stock market, back when trading was broadcast on ticker tape, "bid" and "ask" were used because they're short words. I've seen other older examples of "ask" as a noun, but they're pretty obscure and never really caught on at the time. I grew up...

MMM!! I can hardly wait to lick this set...nibble gently along the edges...suck on the handles... Tasty Ceramic Non-Stick 16-Piece Cookware Set Anyone else got a new favourite bizarre ad title?

Better, so they say. Not just revenge, but for me, Trek. Just switching on the TV and watching whatever episode is broadcasting and sitting through the commercials. It's what I grew up on. So I just did, without any idea of what I'd be watching other than it was Trek, and it was TNG "Ensign...

Hey, anyone in Toronto this weekend? I'm not sure my son can make it and I don't want to go alone lookin' so good. God knows where I might end up...

Is anyone else watching this? If not you should be. This show ticks all the boxes. It's true science fiction, putting real human drama, relationships, murder mystery, and more, into a dystopian future revolving around the dead being uploaded into a virtual world governed by a corporate...

This award-winning indie is one I've never come across, but it looks great. It's available from the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre Jan 14-16 for online streaming for 8 bucks CDN. I'll be watching and would love to discuss it here after.

Well, speed records for electric planes, but still... Rolls-Royce claims to have developed the world's fastest all-electric aircraft Just for fun, and because it reminded me of it, I compared it's stats to the WW II Spitfire (both planes have Rolls-Royce engines): Spirit: Top speed: 555 km/h...

I just saw Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's final collaboration pop up on Amazon Prime. Going to start binging. It'll make me feel like a teenager again. :) Hoping they pick up UFO, Stingray, Fireball XL5, and Captain Scarlet soon too. (I have Thunderbird on the shelf somewhere.) "Anything can...

OK, this a dog's toy and it's made to be indestructible. My neighbour came to me asking to cut it in half. I won't get into why. She's a tool girl and tried everything she had. Keep in mind whatever this is it's only a few millimeters thick. The whole thing is covered in some high density rubber...

So, there's this metal apparel, I guess it's basically a vest, that has been around for a number of centuries. When I was a kid, like < 10, I was really interested in medieval warrior stuff, which eventually led me to Conan and LotR in my teens. Combine that with my love of comics and here am...

I think it's time we moved to this! Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings Spoiler Thread!!! | The Trek BBS

Ok, that thread title was a fun exaggeration. Still, Audi has come up with a self-driving car that can change its shape, albeit slightly. So let's say this autonomous vehicle is an Autobot prototype. Add self-learning AI and a plasma gun and we've got our new best friend! Maybe not the biggest...

The Prolific Canadian inventor behind the 'Ironsuit' This is an interesting and fun article about a real life mad-scientist inventor who's been building suits since he was a kid and been a successful businessman at it. Kind of like a Tony Stark. Lovely story about an interesting guy.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/lethbridge-police-stormtrooper-arrest-investigation-1.5853801 I think this is sci fi/fantasy enough related to post here. "On May 4 — referred to as Star Wars Day by franchise fans — Lethbridge police officers responded to two 911 calls reporting a person...

"United States congressman Duncan Hunter pleaded guilty last year to stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign funds. In March, he was sentenced to 11 months in federal prison. What made his story especially comical was how brazen the fraud had been. Among the items listed in the...

So thing is, he enjoys the Sci Fi and Fantasy shows we watch together on Netflix and Prime. Other than that he doesn't really have any other interests that I can ascertain. He smokes pot, and does his schoolwork, it could be worse. Last year I got him a couple of Daredevil graphic novels (we'd...
