Last week I started rewatching TOS for the first time in over ten years. During the pilot episode "Where no man has gone before" I was reminded of how fascinating Albert Whitlock's matte painting of Vega Colony was.

I started searching for websites that sell similar paintings or high-quality print reproductions, but I haven't been able to find anything that really captures the same style or atmosphere.

Does anyone know of a website or artist that sells similar paintings or print replicas of that specific background or other iconics ST Landscapes for a reasonable price ?

Thanks :) (PS: EU shipping stores/webites).

I know Rapha was acquired some time ago and hasn't been an independent brand for years. But I can't help wondering whether the original ideas—especially around the lifestyle collection and the brand's broader identity—are now a thing of the past.

I remember ordering not just cycling apparel from the website, but also polos, trousers, hoodies and zip-up cardigans. It felt like Rapha had a much stronger lifestyle side back then.

Do you think there's any hope of seeing something like that return this autumn? And are there any reputable websites where it's still possible to find older Rapha pieces in good condition (other than Vinted or similar marketplaces)?

was about to order a Formentor in the beautiful Enceladus Grey, but after researching matte paint maintenance and scratch repair, I started having second thoughts.

The Cupra dealer told me that, to properly fix scratches, the whole panel usually needs to be repainted — and that this applies to other colors too (like Graphene Grey) if you want a perfect result.

So I’d really like to hear from Cupra owners with matte colors:

• How is the car in daily use?
• What’s your routine like (commuting, trips, weekends, etc.)?
• Have you already had to deal with scratches or repairs? How was the experience with your local garage?

The alternative is to get the Graphene Grey.

Thank you

I was looking for some popular bands in the subreddit, but most of them will tour in US only.In milan i know the social distortion will have a date, but i was looking for more pop punk bands.

My boy is almost 1 year old and he has always had some itching, but recently it seems much worse. Last night at 3 a.m. he started scratching his ears and beard nonstop.

In the first months, both the vet and the groomer said he had a mild ear infection, so I thought that was the cause. But lately he has also been scratching his beard, and his poop hasn’t been normal.

I changed his food and tried anallergenic food for a month, then switched to a new protein (fish). His poop improved only slightly — still light-colored, though more solid. Then the local pet shop suggested another protein, but after changing again it got worse.

At the same time, last weekend he got some ticks while we were in the woods, and the vet removed them.

So now I’m confused because there could be multiple factors involved. I’ll probably go back to the vet, but last time the advice was basically just “try anallergenic food and then change protein.” I’m not sure whether the issue is food-related or if he may still have ticks hidden in the beard.

Has anyone had a similar experience? I'm starting to get frustrated and worried.
