Okay honestly it didn’t hit me how funny the concept of Weird Al’s Even Worse album is until I found out they’d have gone on sale side by side.

There’s a damn good story here.
It’s the flip flop that’s turned into an anklet that really makes it for me
(via flavorcountry)
I’m about to ask a question that I know none of you individually can answer entirely, it’s more like I’m hoping the knowledge can be condensed out of the ether by everyone collectively: why can’t I just go to startrek.com and buy a Starfleet uniform? Isn’t this the one piece of clothing most Trek fans want to have? Why have we been essentially left to our own devices on this for decades?
There used to be a company called Rubie’s that made pretty reasonable costume uniforms from TNG and DS9/VOY but they went out of business or stopped making them or something; I haven’t seen one in geological eons
Anovos made insanely great-looking product but it cost a million dollars and shipped 🤷♂️???when???🤷♂️ Anyway they’re out of business too
Sure, you can go to Amazon and find a reasonable-looking costume uniform for cheap from a place with a weird name you’ve never heard of in your life, but ……… odds are near 100% it comes from some kind of appalling exploitation factory of some sort, right? The irony of buying a Starfleet uniform made by slave labor, no thank you
Something like 10-15 years ago ThinkGeek sold a line of two-piece PJs that were surprisingly excellent versions of a TNG s03+ uniform, like someone over there was PAYING ATTENTION and doing really solid work
Anyway ThinkGeek is also out of business
But like: how the fuck? Is this not a solved problem? For the Star Trek Industrial Complex? I get that supply chains are complicated and all that, but if you can pump out kinda janky one-off merch for Star Trek Day, how hard is it to source a manufacturer for a Starfleet uniform replica that looks decent and doesn’t cost a literal thousand dollars?
That’s what I want: to be able to just get a uniform that looks okay (I don’t need 100% SCREEN ACCURATE PERFECTION TO THE MICRODETAIL) and won’t cost a down payment; is that not ……….. possible? Is there something about vending Starfleet uniforms that’s economically impractical or somehow legally infeasible or something else that we just aren’t aware of??* Who do I talk to about this???
* Like: did they do the math and discover that the majority of Trek fans inexplicably want those Santa suits from the Wrath of Khan era which are probably impossible to manufacture at scale for a decent price and just went fuck this

she’s right and she IS saying it
grumpyoldsnake I just finished the audiobook for “How to Invent Everything” and I just want to thank you for describing the images and diagrams. So many nonfiction audiobooks fail to do so, and it was a wonderful change of pace to feel like I was actually getting most of the book!
Hey thanks, my pleasure! The idea was originally to use the descriptions I wrote for the artist, but in the booth I decided to just describe them on the fly, because it made it feel more organic (and was more fun.) The time travel flowchart was… challenging. :)
