I just remembered the discussion without separation was in Disaster, when Troi was the senior officer on the bridge and a warp core breach was developing. Ro wanted her to separate the ship to save as many people as possible, but Troi wanted to wait in the hopes someone would get to engineering and fix the problem.
Yeah what was the point of that test?! “Oooh he give orders good.”
Break out the joystick like in Insurrection and let’s fucking dock this thing MANUALLY.
Yeah I read somewhere they found it just slowed down the episode too much, so it wasn’t used much after the first season.
Correctly used in the movie though.
Not to ruin the mood, but I think the idea was that it was this scary procedure only used in extreme emergencies.
For example, when the episode was running short by about 5 minutes…
Well, yeah. You need them for FOIA and potential lawsuits and audits.
It’s the release from the stress of the moment.
Awwwww that’s sad. I think our dog could be a handful, but he gets 3 or 4 walks every day, and play time, and some of those walks involve zoomies (I’m not a runner, but I imagine the neighbors are all used to seeing me run with the dog, just trying to burn off his energy).
So he tends to spend much of his time just lounging around the house. If my wife is watching TV, it’s a pretty good bet he’s going to be cuddled up with her.
He’s a really happy dog. Loves everyone and everything.
That said, I’ve already decided we’re not adopting another one. I love him, but I also do most of the work - feeding him, walking him, etc. I also take care of the cats. Maybe I’ll feel differently now that I’ve retired and have more time, but before that, I was overwhelmed with all of the chores in the house.
I can count on one hand the number of times my dog has thrown up, and he’s been with us over 6 years. What were your friends giving their dogs?
And honestly, picking up poop is part of having a dog, just like cleaning the litter box is a necessary chore for cats. If you don’t want to do it, then yeah you shouldn’t get a dog. I mean, I don’t really want to do it either, but I recognize it’s part of owning a dog. I don’t like going out in the rain, snow, or hot sun to walk him, either, but, again… It’s part of the deal.
Our dog has no chores, he’s spoiled.
Yeah, I know that it makes perfect sense for them to be on a user’s home directory.
I said that because it was a flashback to work, where people were constantly filling the “home” drive with data that should be stored in the work/project directories. Regular emails begging people not to save data to their home directories. But that data should be accessible to others - it’s not personal, like most holodeck programs would be.
Last year, they added a some insane amount of space (dozens of terabytes IIRC) to address space limitations…a few months later, they were down to less than a terabyte free. People just do not program efficiently and do not clean up their messes.
WHO’S BEEN SAVING HOLODECK PROGRAMS TO THEIR HOME DIRECTORY AGAIN?
Hey I have some of those!
This is basically why I didn’t participate in the fandom for many years. Tired of hearing how bad this is or whatever. And this goes back to Next Gen, too. I found I enjoyed Star Trek more without everyone else’s opinions.
It’s a lot like this. (Thanks to The Oatmeal for putting it so well.)
Your new account is one better.
That is Chekov’s trainer!
Working in the meme factory can change a man.
Well that and the giant ice cubes they dropped into the Atlantic.
I love Geordi’s horror at realizing Data now gets every joke he’s ever heard and may feel the need to retell them.
I haven’t seen Dark Matter so I have no opinion on this question, other than the answer is always Star Trek.
Replicator Today!
On today’s edition we’re going to take a closer look at the odd colored blocks of food the Enterprise replicators produce!
One of the ways I knew I was burned out from my job was that when I got back from vacation, I felt as bad as I did just before the vacation. No improvement at all. The vacations were fine, but it was like opening a door into the same flood every day.
