A badge (as in an actual Combadge or in the case of SNW and TAS, badge) is typically, $22.95 and up (special stuff like STII delta is $39.95). All their stuff is great quality. I have 10 badges.
EDIT: I’m talking about the magnetic badges, not the mini pins.
Why did you keep referring to the uniform in “Endgame” as First Contact? I ask because I feel like you are confusing the uniform from the early 2370s which appeared in First Contact. Voyager crew never wore that.
I didn’t bring this up before because it wasn’t relevant, but we see the “All Good Things…” badge in PRO, which a conversation between Admiral Janeway and Hologram Janeway confirms was a design copied from “Endgame”.
EDIT: Which is great because if Cosermart never make a AGT uniform, I can get a PRO uniform and wear it together.
I didn’t forget (now that you mention it). I’m blocking it. That episode is a bit difficult to watch or think of for me in recent months (loss of an immediately family member).
Definitely gonna try the hasperat, bloodwine and Orion hurricane. Seriously, no gagh? The Andorian and Romulan ale sound the same. Not interested in a cocktail tea. Also, a plomeek tea but not a soup?
Some odd choices. If the Chateau Picard is the same wine Star Trek Wines makes, then I’ve had it. However, if that is the case then I’d expect the bloodwine to be from Star Trek Wines, which I haven’t had.
FYI: the three Chateau Picard bottles are the same. I asked a vender at STLV. Just a different bottle.
What about Helldivers 1? Seems weird to skip the first installment.
Just giving me ideas of how to drink beverages at STLV.
I am unable to find a news report now, but I am certain I read one back in 2018 or 2019. I believe that Conservation International (an organization that helped develop the C.A.F.E. standard the company uses) was discovered covering up the certification of one of the farms in Brazil. As I remember reading, that a farm was at the time listed somewhere as being certified but after slave labor was discovered, CI uncertified the farm and attempted to claim it failed to meet the C.A.F.E. standards, thus never was awarded certification. They weren’t saying the certification was revoked; it never had any.
Here are three different reports regarding three different instances in Brazil. https://news.mongabay.com/2019/05/slave-labor-found-at-second-starbucks-certified-brazilian-coffee-farm/
https://news.mongabay.com/2018/09/slave-labor-found-at-starbucks-certified-brazil-coffee-plantation/
Here is one on the Guatemala incident. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/mar/01/children-work-for-pittance-to-pick-coffee-beans-used-by-starbucks-and-nespresso
Just so people are aware, Starbucks was caught buying from farms in Brazil multiple times that used slave labor. In Guatemala, along with Nestle, were caught buying from farm(s?) that used child labor.
EDIT: On top of this the company partnered with Conservation International to certify the farms met the company’s standards. The incident in Brazil saw CI trying to coverup the certification of that farm. Also CI is involved with arms dealing.
EDIT 2: Their retail products have the claim “100% Ethically Sourced”. That is a lie.
EDIT: I got the slogan wrong. It is “Committed to 100% Ethical Coffee Sourcing”.
Want a worse number? Back in 2019, the price of commodity was at less than a $1. Starbucks, at the time made up 3% of the world’s production. They decided to give $20m to their farmers. Did it help? Well based on available financial data at the time, $20m was approximately single afternoon’s profit for the company. A SINGLE FUCKING AFTERNOON! https://sprudge.com/starbucks-would-prefer-you-dont-think-too-hard-about-that-20m-relief-fund-151839.html
Blade Runner: The Final Cut. My favorite movie. If you watch the theatrical cut, shame on you. Seriously don’t do it. Sadly the sequel and related media are all connected to the theatrical cut. They fundamentally changed parts of the lore because of this. Secondly, The Final Cut is the canonical version.
cough Pike has to go back to Talos IV cough
Well the most anyone can assume is that characters original to SNW will be removed in some fashion by the time the series ends.
I met Seán at STLV last year (I known I encountered Ellie but wasn’t aware till after the con) and was nice. There were people who asked for photos with him, which he seemed gracious to take. Me personally, I didn’t want to ask him because it looked like he was there with his partner.
It isn’t exclusively a series centered on Janeway. This series would be presumably similar to Picard in that notion.
I think these type of discussions came about shortly after season 1 of Picard.
This came straight from someone on Star Trek: The Cruise.
EDIT: I need to add that the last date of the Cruise for 2025 is March 2, so unless you where there, no one else would have heard.
If you ever find something out of stock online, and happen to be at a Creation Entertainment convention (like STLV), check out the vendors room. They often times have back-stock there. I got my 24th century pips at STLV that way (which are pins).
