burn the system down
My takeaway at least.
Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.
Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.
Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.
burn the system down
My takeaway at least.
I’ve had more conversations than I can count with people I would never be able to talk to in person, all using our own native languages.
The original posts are in English, people comment in their native language, and I use a translator, then respond in my own language. Is the translator perfect? No! Neither is theirs.
With the way most translators I’ve used work, it’s easier for the non-native speaker to try translating, since the translator might try and use different words that entirely change the meaning, but likely list possible alternatives. A native e speaker will understand the alternatives while a non-native speaker probably won’t.
That’s my thought process anyway.
Never had anyone who wasn’t pearl-clutching or virtue-signaling complain about it. And I’ve had tons of conversations with people I’d never have talked to otherwise.
Nothing says “we are a free and open community that welcomes others” like moderators banning discussion of poor moderation.
Yes, I do understand what the rule is there for. No that doesn’t make it any less hilariously shitty.
Lower Decks has become a comfort show for me and as soon as I finish it, I want to start over.
Fellas, is it gay to have empathy, show genuine emotion, and actually care about another being other than yourself?
Never ask a man his salary, a woman her age, or a transporter chief what’s in the pattern buffer.
It’s like trying to hold water in your hands.
The tighter you squeeze, the quicker it’s gone.
O’Neill, blowing up a fleet:
Carter, blowing up a sun:
McKay blowing up 4/5 of a solar system:
Mckay, almost blowing up an entire alternate parallel reality:
Mckay and Carter, using nanites:
All of them, doing all of this whenever they feel like:
“Those torpedoes are cute. Got any naquadria?”
Kevin Uxbridge:
I just want neat metal ship models without having to pay $100+ for out of production stuff…
Perhaps even one in a bottle.
From my understanding, though I can’t pinpoint why I think this, it’s “ship #1 orient based however they feel like, any follow up ships orient accordingly to ships already in-system”
I’ll die on this hill.
Janeway made the practical call, the one that maximized survival for the entire crew.
As one entity on a starship with limited manpower and no resupply guaranteed, they need all the people they can get.
Yes, neelix and kess weren’t going to be on board originally. That is irrelevant at the time of his Tuvixation. He’s there, and they can’t afford to lose him, regardless of how atrocious his leeola root stew is.
Not to mention that tuvok played a very important role for Janeway, one that I don’t believe tuvix could handle. He was the one who reminded her of the “proper” thing to do that follows protocol. He’s the cool head. The logical one who remains calm when everyone else loses their shit. Chakotay isn’t on that level. Tuvix was too emotional.
Janeway made the right call.

I am definitely concerned, I didn’t interact with them directly often but I liked seeing the positive updates about their family’s move.
Hopefully everyone is doing well and just have more important, happy things keeping them occupied.
Moving countries to provide a better life for your progeny will do that.
While Jackson and Co. Didn’t pull out all the stops to show time passing, they very much go out of their way to stay faithful to the written word where possible.
It seems like maybe a few weeks or months perhaps pass, if you don’t think “horses and riding to different countries is going to take longer than cars and going a few towns over/the next state” then you could think it was a few days.
All that said, Yes, I also would have liked to encounter Tom Bombadil but ultimately he is meaningless to the overall story, and would just slow down an already long movie. I would definitely watch a 5 hour cut of every part, but not very many people would.
I just pulled up the extended edition and rewatched, the entirety of “keep it secret, keep it safe” to “is it secret? Is it safe?” and those 17 years was 31:50 ish in to 36:40ish. So about 5 minutes of screen time and most of that was Gandalf travelling to/researching in minas tirith, and Frodo and the Gang having a mug at the green dragon. Given the time of year, the fact that things “look chilly” in the outside establishing shot could be taken to mean “same time of year, maybe not much time has passed”
Apogies for the keyboard vomit, I don’t get to nerd out on LOTR often.
I will happily wax everything below my ears, dress up in a skirt, and put on some makeup in order to have breakfast with Leonard Nimoy.
Knowing big bang theory, half the episode would be shitty “trans people exist isn’t that funny” “jokes” and with the laugh track, there’s 3/4 of your time slot.
And then it would be Zachary Quinto.
1 the things that have extra holodecks that I’ve seen are just space stations, which can have larger power stations. The ship in insurrection was purpose built to trick people into thinking it was their small village that they don’t leave often. It can have all the power it needs dedicated to the holodeck and be slow with a Son’a escort for protection.
2 with you on that one.
3 also with you on this one. It just makes sense. Two people on opposite sides of the system could have dinner together in a holodeck. Easiest sell in the world after the holodeck itself.
4 the only issue I have with medical areas being holodecks is how often we see power issues in star trek. If they lose power, no med bay, no holo-docs. But if you’re already doing it, I see no reason there can’t be all the holographic doctors you need, and if the entire interior of the ship is filled with holo-emmitters then the EMH isn’t an issue.
For the record, I’m with you. I think by the end of the 2380s they should definitely be having entire swathes of ships dedicated to holographic rooms.
In Voyager, The USS Prometheus had holo-emmitters all over, so the EMH was able to walk around and take the ship back from romulans.
Incidentally I was listening to some Certifiably Ingame ship breakdowns and they touched on a ship that has holographic interiors for a lot of spaces, but since I was falling asleep at the time I am unsure which ship it is. I’m trying to peruse the Playlist to see if anything looks familiar.
Calling out reposts obsessively is weird to me.There’s more people who have not seen something than who have seen it, at least on the internet. I think most people have seen the moon…
But if I ever have a problem where the vast majority of the posts I see are reposts, I’ll simply block the channel for awhile. It costs me nothing, and takes less effort than typing out a comment complaining in every repost.
It’s the “STOP LIKING WHAT I DON’T LIKE” meme, come to life. And I’d rather let people have their fun. Doesn’t cost me, nor anyone else, a thing.
To answer the titular question: NO THE FUCK IT IS NOT and I have at least a few
calibersreasons why.
