Though I make more, adjusted for PPP, than I would in NYC doing the same job.  No shit.  That market is dead.  Doesn't affect you, I'm just saying.

Oh it it totally over-saturated but then living in New York isn't about achieving the best quality of living.

Yeah, the point of living in New York is Living In New York.

Indeed.

@HVC - And we're all in such different life places!

You're traveling the world and living in new York so you win :lol:  . Depending on how you consider kids and a family then I'm either second or third :D

you're as good at math as Timmy is at spelling... And that means a lot coming from the second worst speller on languish :D

Picard is clearly the best with Kirk a moderate second and Sisko a distant third.  Archer and Janeway don't even make the scale.

Jean Luc Picard is a renaissance man... Captain, archaeologist, Shakespearean actor, legal advocate, wine connoisseur, barroom brawler (albeit a bad one)... all that and he's a better pilot than Riker too.

Yes but the question includes the 1st officer as a leadership combo.  In that respect, Spock is a major force multiplier over Riker.

I don't know, what's Picard got over Sisko?

Syt

Let's see:

James T. Kirk/Spock - gung ho leader, likely to shoot first and ask later; might get you killed if a redshirt
Jean-Luc Picard/William T. Riker - Riker's a douche, but Picard is a good, levelheaded leader who genuinely cares about the folks under his command
Benjamin L. Sisko/Kira Nerys - competent combat leader, but he's likely to get you into situations that might kill you
Katherine Janeway/Chakotay - stranded her crew 70k ly from home due to incompetence, irrational and changing her stances all the time
Jonathan Archer/T'Pol - bumbling and incompetent

I'll take Picard any time.

A roaming command rather than dull guard duty.

It's called being flexible. :angry:
