Suppose I were a nefarious criminal, and I want it to commit a low risk high reward crime, I would wait until boxing day / black Friday / big sale day and have me and a bunch of my friends order some items. Then track all the delivery trucks and rob them.

Rebuttal: wealthy neighbourhoods have:

• the most security cameras and, potentially, paparazzi.
• the fastest police response times.
• better detective work because the victims are actually people of ‘importance’.
• possibly personal security

All the vans have GPS for ‘productivity’ tracking of the employees. You’re better off unloading it.

P.S. I don’t endorse criminal behaviour. This is all hypothetical :P

Said Candyman in the mirror five times. Don’t know what I was expecting. If it worked, I’d be brutally murdered. If it didn’t nothing would have changed. There was no positive outcome to this action, onlybad and neutral…

Assuming:
Current ocean salinity = 35 kg / m3. Current ocean volume = 1.4 * 1018 m3. Current human fresh water usage = 4 * 109 m**3.

(35 * 1.4 * 1018) / (1.4 * 1018 - 4 * 10**9).

= 35.0000001 kg / m**3. = New ocean salinity.

I think they’ll be okay.

Apologies double didn’t realize the double asterisks would screw up the formatting. 1.4 trillion trillion cubic meters ocean volume. 4 trillion cubic meters fresh water consumption

Full disclosure, I am not an astronaut, nor do I have full context behind the quote. I think that curiosity and exploration would help. Also, warp drive made all those planets a whole lot less lonely

$12,000 / year * 600,000 homeless people in the USA =
$7,200,000,000 / year

Maybe let’s start small and help some homeless people get off the streets for the low low price of ~0.1% of the country’s annual spending.

I assume that once you have a stable situation, the supreme gets cut off. As more homeless get off the streets, this number should decrease (but probably not disappear [my cynicism says that we’ll probably never completely solve homelessness]). As more homeless become taxably employed, federal government revenue will increase; spending should decrease as various programs can be throttled back. I’m sure some sociologist-economist can give you a calculated estimated ROI figure on this investment, but I feel that the numbers would probably balance pretty evenly with the added benefit of helping a bunch of people and communities.

UBI would be great but I don’t expect that to occur without a tonne of baby steps

Labs for teaching in university students will often look like a much older version of the above. Actual research labs will tend to look like below

Basing this solely on the trailer, the King is not wrong. Not everyone’s wishes should be granted. As the ruler / government of the country, choosing the wishes that have the best impact on the well-being of the kingdom is kind of his job. Catching the person who is granting wishes randomly, or just all wishes is a reasonable course of action for the King. Of course, he’s probably a baby-eater or something equally villainous to make the audience hate him.

I would think the romulans would have some questions.

Hey Starfleet, you developed that cloak awfully fast even though you weren’t supposed to be researching it until five days ago.

Star Trek adjacent, but the Orville had an episode like that I think.

How often and long they twirl their mustache.

This is not a dead giveaway as it will take some time and observations but, how often they react to adversity by blaming other people.

Reminder, if everywhere you go smells like dog doo, maybe check under your shoe.

Wait… Isn’t this one a Lore?
