This is a new version of an existing device that FameTek made years ago.

I still don’t understand it after all these years.

The human equivalent of furries with faux tail anal plugs.

That one website with storm in their name.

I’m not defending either organization. Just clarifying that the roles they have are different.

Do they still host Nazi’s?

Yes, it is an excellent movie. My favorite of all the Hanks movie I have seen.

Unless you are actively traveling from outside the country, you won't ever be encountering CBP.

This is not ICE. CBP is Customs and Border Protection. They deal directly with the border and other entry points like airports, border crossing and ports. The easiest example of what they do is to point you towards the movie The Terminal. In that movie, Tom Hanks plays an Eastern European, Viktor Navorski (fictional country) who gets denied entry to the U.S. upon arrival when a government coup sees his visa invalidated mid flight. The film depicts head of CBP at JFK airport in New York, in a struggling battle to keep Hank’s character in the international terminal, the only legal area he can occupy after determining that they can’t send him back amid a civil war which the U.S. has yet to recognize a formal government. The conflict directly centered around the recognition of his country’s government. While in mid flight to the U.S. the civil war began and the government was dissolved. Upon landing at JFK, he no longer had valid paperwork to enter the U.S. After determining he could not enter the country legally, it is made frighteningly clear that without a government that the U.S. recognizes, he could not legally be returned home either. The movie depicts Viktor’s struggle to continue his life inside the international thermal of JFK, awaiting the day he can finally leave.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement deal with immigration and customs enforcement. So this organization works inside the borders of the country. They deal with immigration and customs violations, and trafficking and cross-border crimes.

These are not the same organizations and they serve different purposes. Both fall under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security. People are conflating the two organizations since they deal with the legality of being in the United States but they have different methods of operation.

EDIT: CBP try to stop you from entering the country. ICE try to eject you once you have gotten inside.

Have you seen them in the same room together?

Well there is no information to go on.

This is Lloyd. Plummer was Kang in STVI.

 

Three actors announced for the Rose Parade. For the non-U.S. fans, Rose Parade is a parade held in Pasadena, CA on New Year’s Day which is associated the college football event Rose Bowl (Rose Bowl is in Pasadena), a highly coveted game for teams to play if they get selected.

Rose Parade officially marks the start of the 60th anniversary celebrations for the brand.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the parade in the title.

 

This tour is for those who don’t want the five day experience or won’t be attending STLV. This takes you to the site of Kirk’s death in Generations which is located an hour from Las Vegas.

 

Pretty expensive at nearly $6,000, but gets you to Vegas if you are attending STLV.

 

I don’t think they knew what to do with their arms.

 

Felt like venting. As an Asian, I have an affinity towards the Asians who have been on Star Trek. Watching “Future Imperfect” today and I was immediately moved to tears by the image of Patti Yasutake. I still have a deep sadness for her passing.

 

I have only listened to the first episode. So now I am required to finish the series.

 

The exciting news here is that Linda Park has been confirmed with 2026 being the 25th anniversary. Scott Bakula said at the convention back in August he would return but has not officially been confirmed yet. No word if Jolene Blalock will make a appearance.

 

Riker is way too happy about his commanding officer going on shore leave.
