About that: Metroid Prime Producer Reportedly Leaving Nintendo After 40 Years, Unsure if There Will Be Another Game to Wrap Up Sylux's Story

Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?

Trump has invited the leaders of 60 nations to join the Board of Peace with the stipulation that each contribute $1 billion dollars.

It's not "Join the Board of Peace or get tariffs", it's "Give me a billion dollars or get tariffs"

Also wholly unhinged. The hinges are just gone.

Nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize need to be submitted by January 31, and peace-related accomplishments after that probably aren't factored into the decision-making process. So most of what Trump has done since he got back in office didn't even count for last year's award, and his new threats will count for this year's. If he understood how the award actually worked he might realize how badly he's messed up.

They started filming the season 2 finale this week. I think if she wasn't going to be in season 2 we'd have heard something by now.

The away team braclets are programmed for at least a couple of different modes, and switching is pretty quick. I would think if they could use programmable matter to make a multi-mode tricoder, it would be standard.

At any rate, I assume they can't program matter into dilithium, because that would have made recovering from the Burn a whole lot easier.

Re: limits of programmable matter:

On Discovery away teams wore programmable matter flashlight bracelets that could turn into a phaser, and I think even a phase rifle, but from these last couple of episodes it seems they can't make a tricorder that turn into a medical tricorder.

If the Supreme Court is going to rule against him in the tariff case, they may want to delay a little longer to update the ruling to cover this bullshit too.

The Doctor mentions he put an aging program 5 centuries before to put organics at ease, which is obviously the Watsonian explanation for why Robert Picardo looks older.

That should also establish that he's not the Doctor backup from VOY: "Living Witness", who wouldn't have been online 500 years ago.

Canada's GameStop stores went back to being EB Games last year after GameStop sold them.

When Is Starfleet Academy Set?

Although the show is somewhat vague about it, Starfleet Academy is set in the late 32nd century—approximately around the year 3190, a similar timeframe to when Star Trek: Discovery‘s fourth season takes place, which had previously mentioned the reopening of the institute to a new class of cadets in its premiere. The show is, at the very least, set some time after the events of Discovery‘s third season, which saw United Earth rejoin the Federation after a century of independence, as Starfleet Academy itself—based out of the starship USS Athena—spends much of its time docked at the Academy’s ancestral home near the Presidio in San Francisco.

I thought it was obvious that the show is set after Discovery? In the fourth season the Academy reopened on the station/ship where headquarters was; Earth agreed to rejoin the Federation at the end of the fourth season (not the third), and it would have taken time to finalize Earth's re-entry and then more time to reach a point where Starfleet Academy would move back.

Taking place almost a thousand years after what we would typically consider “contemporary” Star Trek in the late 23rd century period occupied by the likes of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager

Those shows were all set in the 24th century. I really don't trust the accuracy of this article.
