Look up “Certifiably Ingame” on whatever front-end of youtube you use, and check out his Playlist on starships. He goes into detail about various classes and specific named ships, and for the classes will bring up their naming conventions and uses and whatnot.

Side note: I don’t understand the idea that an animated comedy show is somehow “less Canon” than a live action drama show.

Why?

LD is just as Canon as discovery. Honestly discovery, in my opinion, is entirely implausible because the runners were adamant that it be set before TOS, but the tech and shipsizes is definitely post DS9. Possibly even golden age of exploration huge.

But for some reason lower Decks is “not Canon” to some people…

Personally I view it more as “find the right balance between technology and the other living things” and “take time to appreciate the things around you”

Galaxy Quest is Hands down the best star trek movie.

Confession time: I actually love every single movie except the motion picture. Sorry but it’s boring. I don’t understand the hate Insurrection gets. Other than sexist dialog and weird attempt to change the previously established “not-a-relationship-it’s-complicated” thing Picard and Dr. Crusher have going on… Which I try to ignore and pretend the writers room didn’t have RICK RATFUCK BERMAN’s influence…

I live in rural Ohio and actually live fairly close to a decent sized solar farm.

Over the last 2-3 years I’ve seen more household solar setups, and one person I’m super jealous of has a really nice wind turbine/solar hybrid system with a garage battery wall visible when they leave their garage door open.

We’re very slowly getting there, but it’s like running a race with a weight around your ankle and people swinging at you with bats.

And STILL I hear dumb shits in the US say “solar isn’t feasible”

Motherfuckers then why does literally every other country have tons of solar plants, rooftop installations, balcony installations and some packed away they can pull out when the power cuts out? Why do major companies put massive solar farms next to their new factories? Why are people interested in fossil fuels spending so much goddamn money telling people solar sucks? If it sucked, people wouldn’t use it.

My headcannon: having read the Absolutely 100% canon books “Q-zone, W-Strike, and Q-space”, my personal belief is that since Q is partially responsible for the entity in the center claiming to be god, Q decided to artificially speed up their journey to the barrier and back home. Nobody on the ship brought it up because nobody was even thinking about travel time in the middle of all that.

Well you see, the people in charge of tuning the replicator just need to be motivated by death, and then they’ll find a workaround for literally any shortcoming!

Cant replicate a phased electron catalyzer and we don’t have a backup? Well if you don’t, everyone on this ship and that planet are dead in 20 minutes, so just invert the hadron matrix and it won’t be a problem anymore!

(repeat every other season)

The only things it needs are power and base material.

The problem with complex things like starships and the like are some things can’t be replicated, they have to be manufactured, refined, or otherwise produced.

Gotta have something to cripple how overpowered they are.

Hey, we’ve all been addicted to the holodeck at one point or another. Sometimes you aren’t even sure what reality is anymore with all the alternate timelines, parallel universes, memory engrams, psychic torture…

All I’m sayin’ is don’t judge poor broccoli Barclay too hard.

Look, we all just make up random numbers and throw in a decimal point to make it feel official.

Nobody says anything because nobody wants to admit it’s all made up.

So just toss some numbers up there and you’re golden!

have femme name picked out “just in case, you never know what crazy things the future holds”

have online shopping cart with a few outfits “just in case I decide to make something like that for a friend”

check out realistic breast forms* because it’s perfectly normal to want boobs

Still cis though

Yeah, ALL cis males use dozens of filter apps to see what they look like as a woman and ask random strangers if they “think this girl is cute”

Totally normal cis thing to do. Right guys?

… Right?

5 seconds? You need your matter conversion matrix realigned if it’s taking that long.

I’ve been trying to get starfleet to approve mini-replicators in control panels for years but I always get the same “it’s just not worth the materials cost” but honestly when was the last time you saw an Admiral use a control panel themselves?

Being able to rearrange a control panel to individual people’s preferences means each station can be tailored for different needs, even different species and abilities. You give up the consistency, where someone can tell you exactly where the right button is, but it’s far more accommodating during day-to-day operations about the ship.

That said, I hate it. Give me dials and buttons any day of the week. I could do without the 10,000 indicator lights though. Engineering in old starship just looks like a Gik’tal concert.

Okay look, I have a large piece of old leather I’ve been meaning to make into pieces for my Renfaire outfit, I have dozens of pieces of steel that are waiting to become knives and other tools, there’s 20-something 3d projects in various states of unfinished on my laptop, and I’ve got 3 large woodworking projects on hold.

Of course I can start hyperfixating on a new project!

My wife started out with tons of republican views, she just didn’t vote ever.

Through conversations about the state of things, pointing* out hypocrisy, and validating the feelings her religious family was telling her to suppress, I’m happy to say I’ve managed to marry a leftist. She didn’t even really have the liberal pit-stop many of us take.

I’ll take 100,000 leftists married/dating/whatever to 100,000 liberals over 200,000 conservatives any day of the week.

… I would like to know more about these “estrogen burgers”

But Riker is straight.

Straight up screwing everything beautiful and willing!

Women, non-binary, non-gendered, men, it’s all the same to a sex god.

I have forgotten about a concert after paying for the tickets, I have forgotten about super important plans and didn’t even send a text to the person I had them with until about 6 hours later (in fairness I never even got a text or call from them in that time, just a “where were you, I waited” when I called to apologize) and I have forgotten my entire wallet at a restaurant. Sat it down while waiting for my card back and put the card in my pocket and left the wallet on the table.

I have also unironically said this.

my child.
