I’ve never seen 7%, but yeah, after everyone gets their cut the US is around 3% at the end of the day to process credit cards. We even have gas stations here that have separate advertised rates for credit vs cash.

“Something changed” is an off ramp for those who are in too deep to back out without a mental crisis caused by accepting reality. More then they deserve, but it’s a way out while saving face.

SG1 is a great example of a show that has a great ending, and then was renewed like twice after it should have ended.

You’ll get like 3 or 4 good seasons out of Atlantis. It’s fun. The show runs into issues near the end with some poor writing and a main character dropping off. Although I loved the actors who came in later on, it wasn’t enough to resolve some bad plots. Worth a watch though, the show wraps nicely… unlike Stargate Universe…

Universe had promise, but it didn’t get a fair run. They also had a scene that pushed with one character death being a bit too much for me, which kind of fits with the realist / dark / edgy vibe they were going for. Worth a watch if you’re okay knowing it doesn’t have a real ending and want more universe building, otherwise skip it.

Skip the SG1 “movies” that come after the series.

There was a TV movie created (called origins?) that takes place decades before the series. I recall that being a fun watch.

Wait a second… didn’t he have a thing for Sarah Silverman?

Eh, let’s swap air density for deflectors, and drag for the warp bubble.

But… do you need deflectors at warp? Isn’t the bubble folding space around the obstacles you’d typically need deflectors for?

That… and the damage to subspace caused by speeds over Warp 5, which soon gets forgotten about.

Basically Christian Whitehead and a rag-tag group of fans saved the franchise, and it’s been slipping back into old patterns since. Frontiers introduced interesting ideas, but the next game needs to build on that, which, let’s be honest, it won’t.

Just give the franchise to the fans at this point.

I realize you’re getting downvoted with a lot of comparisons to Japan, and I wanted to lend a real life example.

In Chicago, it’s not uncommon for the parking space to have a separate title not tied to the people who live there, and each vehicle also has to register for a city sticker, which is basically an annual tax. Most parking is street parking, a house would have like 2 spots in the alley, but that might be for a 2 unit building.

It’s not the same as what others are suggesting, but a bit scaled back from what Nashville is requiring.
