My mom bought a BMW from her cousin that had an odd fuel line. Nothing was technically wrong but you could smell the fuel when the engine was on. Eventually she gave it back.

Rufus would probably tell you there is no such thing as Rufus.

Fallout Season 2 is a 'buddy road trip' to New Vegas for Lucy and The Ghoul: Releases on 17th December in c/television@piefed.social

Can someone explain to me why when I was in Vegas this August, I saw some kind of promotional rate at the Primm Valley Resort related to Fallout?

My extended knowledge of Fallout is that Primm is featured in New Vegas. I imagine the hotel rate was a special number as well.

EDIT: It was sad driving up to the Primm Valley Resort parking lot. I went to Buffalo Bills next door and found it abandoned.

Imagine if Sulu was showing off a Duel Disc in “The Naked Time” instead of a sword, while shirtless.

I’ve seen the Spock helmet in person. It only looks silly with ECH written on it.

Finally, RockLove have gotten the Picard d’ja pagh restocked! I won’t spoil Picard season 3, but this earring was featured in an episode. Not only was it featured but the actual prop was designed by the CEO of RockLove. The one they sell is made from the same molds.

I had this before but the chain on it broke. So happy I can buy another.

EDIT: If anyone was wondering if they had a Kira Nerys d’ja pagh, yes. It is currently in stock. I wear mine a lot. All my earrings are Star Trek related. https://www.rocklove.com/products/star-trek-x-rocklove-kira-nerys-bajoran-cuff-earring

Why did Richard Daystrom get a research organization named after them? (startrek.website)

In “The Ultimate Computer”, the duotronic M-5 computer was deemed a failure which sent its creator Richard Daystrom into a nervous breakdown. Not only did Daystrom experience psychological distress (probably the most polite way to describe it), but was responsible for a machine that killed upwards of 53 people.

Why would a person responsible for the invention of a computer that unintentionally killed (unintentionally as in, not ordered to do so) get their name enshrined? Is there anything to explain why such a troubled person that ended up killing others in a quest to eliminate the risk of human death, would inspire anyone to name an organization after them?

EDIT: I need to add some complicating facts to this. “Chose Your Pain” (DIS season 1 episode 5) gives Daystrom Institute a founding date of 2256, which is before TOS. So based on comments, likely the duotronic computer is why the name was picked.

William Shatner Live on Stage July 30-November 16 2025 (www.williamshatnertour.com)
 

William Shatner will be touring the U.S. from July 30-November 16 (he is already scheduled to appear at STLV, so a lack of August dates). He is screening Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan with a Q & A.

Does anyone have experience attending an event of this type or specifically a Shatner centric event? Would you recommend attending this? I have an opportunity to go to one of the tour dates. A single general ticket is $64.70
