Indeed, it is quite…arousing.

This is amazing. I love this so much.

I do love the concept of anyone in this situation, right as they…complete the act, they might get some Hitchhiker’s Guide movie style slot machine total body change and ending back at the start.

Or…or they blow it and just immediately turn to dust.

Awesome! Thanks for the response.

Honest question: Genetically, if you were own grandfather, introducing chromosomes from both family lines early, would you end up being just outrageously inbred? Like, inbred^inbred ? Or would your grandmother’s chromosomes diffuse the problem?

It’s not like Kirk is big on regulations on the first place…

I look forward to them being confronted with views they can’t just ask Elon to delete.

But, let’s be real here, this is rage bait to track people using their first amendment rights in a way they don’t love. BSKY doesn’t need to give up anything on users. Users accessing BSKY ip addresses given up by their ISP will be more than enough for Palintir to find. A few links with trackers provide browser fingerprinting. Easy day for them.

Be careful, y’all.

That red peg also counts as a hit in my heart.

Though, to be fair, the Enterprise got messed up tons.

My friend, you seem to have forgotten this part:

It’s whatever a set of 2-4 writers and 3-5 producers decided that week, and retconning the awkward bits later.

We are not takling about warp 10. You are taking about warp 10. I’m taking about the fact that humans write scifi and so there are no hard and fast rules. Warp 10 is just one example. That’s the point of the comment i wrote.

Which is why I’m not arguing, I’m trying desperately to get you to understand that you’ve been missing the point of the conversation the whole time. Which I’ve corrected you on repeatedly.

So, again, I can’t help but think you are unable or unwilling to hold a real conversation. Even chatbots do better at this. You are welcome to think whatever you want. All I can think is that the reason you can’t understand this is by choice, or by disability. Sorry if it’s the later, but there’s no point in beating the dead horse into paste any more than it already is. Have a good evening.

I’m not arguing. Everything you’ve just listed were invented by ST writers. Meaning that it’s all fungible, regardless of the “rules” of continuity set by producers and writers. You just seem unable or unwilling to admit that human whims can wipe it all away or change it all.

Like…tell me about Klingon makeup consistency and why Disco went bananas about that. Where was the thoughtful consistency then?

No, you’re not understanding. Warp 10 is a symptom of the overall issue.

The rare occasional exception meant that despite the Warp 10 “limit,” writers still wrote exceptions because “woah, too fast!” is still a solid Trek plot. Eventually, even the Warp system proved too confining. Wormholes were suddenly everywhere. DS9 was based on that premise. Voyager especially are where writers really pushed back against 1987 made up rules based on what seemed to make sense at the time.

So, to get back to the losey-goosey TOS era of self-defined techno babbel, the entire warp system was effectively depreciated and new systems brought in with new shows. Magical tardigrades making ad hoc wormholes and the like.

Star Trek does not have to obey laws of physics. Everything is whatever humans want it to be. Because it’s scifi. It’s a story, not science.

Cool.

Now tell me about all the newfangled quantum slip stream, etc. that varied writers came up with since TNG in Disco and whatever. Ones that avoid the TNG warp 10 limit.

Then tell me what Tom Paris did in the Cochrane shuttlecraft ;)

That’s my point. It’s a standard until it’s not for a convenient plot reason.

Sure, but I’m saying that any thought or concern about a canon transwarp limit is at risk of being dashed by the whims of people looking for a plot device.

Writers are not physicists, and the TOS Enterprise also had a few minutes above warp 10 at some point. It’s whatever a set of 2-4 writers and 3-5 producers decided that week, and retconning the awkward bits later.

That kid might be a keeper.

I consider The Long Kiss Goodnight an unofficial Bourne prequal. Amazing movie, completely underrated. IIRC, it straddles the week between Xmas and NYE with the bridge thing at the end.

Hey now, don’t sell yourself short.

A group of misogynist men will also think you’re a witch and kill you as a scapegoat when convenient to help them cover up wrongdoing.

It is. The comedy is that this is a dark comedic take on the USS Indianapolis speech from Jaws, adapted to the harsh traumatic reality of there is no Santa.

It’s one of the best moments of the film IMO.

I genuinely worry about Picard Maneuver and Lady Butterfly. What of one of them got hit by a car!?

I feel seen.
