Oh, my. It’s gorgeous. Probably not within my budget. Functional.
80th anniversary of D Day.
Around 11:30PM on D-Day, Doohan was making his way to a command post, when a nervous Canadian sentry opened up on him with a burst from a Bren gun. He was struck by six bullets, four of them hitting his legs, one striking his chest, and one shooting off the middle finger of his right hand. It could have been worse: the bullet that hit him in the chest was deflected by a silver cigarette case, a gift from his brother. As Doohan joked about it in later years, smoking had actually saved his life. It was no joking matter at the time, however, as he writhed in pain while being rushed to a hospital to get his wounds treated.

He could just install a single function button on his desk like TFG did for Diet Coke.

Already have a copy!
My wife used to teach elementary school in Los Angeles and one of the field trips I’d sometimes volunteer to chaparone was at the Japanese American National Museum, where George Takei has shared his story and supported the museum’s mission for years. He is Chair Emeritus of the museum’s board.
Amusingly, all the Tribbles similarly went missing from the prop department shortly after that episode wrapped
Netflix says Star Trek Prodigy series 2 is coming on the 1st of July
