It's not a simple issue. It is very complicated. Permitting, real estate, time to build, construction offsets, battery needs (solar's weakest point likely).

I'm more of a let's do both, and we'll everything we can, kinda guy.

I agree. I like that he's got no "super power" (or no super power technology). He's got to rent some ratty Klingons, doesn't even have his own ride.

V'Ger must evolve. It's knowledge has reached the limits of this universe and it must evolve.

I explain it like this: people assume beer is one product but most economists actually study it as two distinct products: mass production beer and craft beer. They actually behave like two separate markets. People like each for very different reasons. And consumer behavior is very different around both.

That's how I feel about Film and Movies. We may watch them both on a screen, but other than that they are very different things. And you can like both! I love the MCU films. But I don't go expecting intellectual expositions.

I also love Dead Poets Society, Hidden Figures, and Argo. Let people like things. Let people like different things differently. It's OK.

The Last Crusade über alles. Connery and Ford's chemistry is hilarious and touching.

AND the only suspension of disbelief visually is an old knight. It holds up so much better over time because the minimization of goofy affects the other movies have for their big bad.

I actively like Star Trek Generations (48 on RT). I think it's accessible if you're not a Trek fan, and delightful if you are. A bit campy at times, sure. But it's a human plot dealing with age, death, and change.

I'm totally ok with the fan service. It ain't Shakespeare and I'm cool with that.

Ok. I need, like, a newb's guide to mastodon. What client should I use? How do I find people?

Not if you made decisions based on the price on the menu. It's designed so menu prices look low.
