The video’s pretty light on details on the model, aside from what it’s made of, but Memory Alpha has some info on it.

Is there any chance at all that you read the article?

3G Capital is a global investment firm and holds a 32% stake in Restaurant Brands International.

According to this article, this has further declined to 26%, roughly equivalent to the collective Canadian ownership (which I did not know, and is why I shared it).

Oh yeah, I think “is their food any good” is an entirely different question. But I do think it’s interesting to untangle the ownership structure.

“No, Irish need apply!”

hopefully it’s not just about seeing these characters eat it.

It really does sound like a spin on the Suicide Squad or, dare I say it, Section 31 premise.

There’s also a spaceship on the show, which I think, I hope that’s not a fucking secret. I have been known—I’ve had a bad experience with oversharing, and I hope that wasn’t an overshare, but it’s fabulous.

I think Frakes is in the clear here - this tracks with Becky Lynch’s announcement that she would be part of the “bridge crew.”

STAR TREK: RED SHIRTS, kicking off in July, is the start of an all-new heartrending Star Trek five-issue miniseries by writer Christopher Cantwell (Star Trek: Defiant) and artist Megan Levens (Star Trek), featuring Starfleet’s most intrepid and doomed crewmembers: red shirts. Now, finally, they get their own story.

Led by an experienced officer embedded on the snow-ridden planet Arkonia 89, the crew of the U.S.S. Warren has a small window in which to pin down spies seeking to steal classified secrets and keep Starfleet data out of their nefarious hands.

They face threats not only from their faceless enemies but from the brutalizing elements and wildlife of a planet far from home. The red shirts’ lives and Starfleet’s sanctity are on the line…and no one is safe.

Then, launching in August, is the five-issue limited series STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS - THE SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION from writer Robbie Thompson and artist Travis Mercer.

It’s classic adventure tale with plenty of twists and turns as the crew explore an ice-covered planet and the scary secrets that are lurking deep beneath the surface… Featuring beloved characters First Officer Una Chin-Riley, Security Officer La’An Noonien-Singh, Science Officer Spock, and Nurse Christine Chapel - plus, a new adorable robot sidekick named D6!

2025 continues the 30th anniversary celebration of the fan-favorite series Star Trek: Voyager with the STAR TREK: VOYAGER - HOMECOMING, a five-issue limited series launching this September, from co-writers Tilly and Susan Bridges and artist Angel Hernandez.

Captain Janeway and the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager are back for one final mission before they head home. The limited comic series aims to offer the final resolution that fans have been waiting decades to witness.

This story picks up just moments after the final shot of the series! The final shot of the Emmy award-winning series featured the iconic ship approaching Earth before the screen goes dark… But what if just moments after that, there was one last emergency?

I just revisited the scene from “Red Directive” in which Burnham is riding on the top of Moll and L’ak’s ship - at the end of the sequence, she leaps from the ship’s hull as the warp field collapses. When she and the ship enter “normal” space, they both seem fairly stationary. Burnham is tumbling a bit in her EV suit, but she doesn’t seem to have a lot of velocity.

I think we’ve seen enough to safely say it would fall out of FTL in fairly short order.

I don’t think we’ve seen enough to say exactly what its sublight velocity would be - no examples are coming to mind.

Edit: as is often the case when the warp drive comes up, its worth pointing out that ships at warp pretty definitely have momentum/inertia.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but Palliser Furniture is based in Winnipeg and unfortunately doesn’t sell direct online, but their site has a list of retailers in the GTA.

That title has big 90s Marvel energy.

Big week for drinkware…

Rudy Ransom Did Nothing Wrong

Sounds great - it’s sort of our “not directly about Star Trek, but maybe the people who like this instance would be interested” community.

Normally, this would be more of a c/quarks post, but fuck it, this is important.

It sucks.

All the major American media companies have done this, but that’s not an excuse. It still sucks.

If there’s any hope at all (and I’m not completely convinced that there is), it’s in statements like this:

To be the best storytellers and to continue to drive success, we must have a highly talented, dedicated and creative workforce that reflects the perspectives and experiences of our many different audiences. Values like inclusivity and collaboration are a part of the Paramount culture and will continue to be.

That might be an indication that the policies themselves are sort of still in place, but under a different name. However, if they’re discontinuing all metrics related to it, there will be no real way to know whether their “values” have a significant impact.

I think the design was originally intended for use on boats, and other places where tipping is a likely occurrence.

I wonder if those would fit - the article says that these “replimat-style” mugs are smaller than the Highwave “Quark’s” mugs, but I suppose they could have the same base.

It’s interesting that they didn’t bother replicating (heh) the rubber base of the originals. Too many added costs, I suppose.
