Michael Ironside in his younger days. I would have loved to see him as a Trek captain in the style of his Starship Troopers character, ie a grizzled, take-no-prisoners leader, but would do anything for his people. Sort of a Lorca kind of captain, but Michael Ironside.
Make me miss my old Siamese derp. He used to sleep in the most ungainly positions ever, all legs dangling and splayed across each other. Here’s to you, Hanky Plank.
I think there might be some sarcasm going on there given the tone of the post, and the fact the upshot of it was to propose a vote on whethe the rules should be changed post-reopening to only permit pictures of “John Oliver looking sexy”.
“Let’s boogie”
Although perhaps I’d change it if my bridge crew stood up and started funking on down, rather than taking the ship to warp.
Your recommendation does God’s work. I was not aware of this, and shall be installing it forthwith.
The last time we tried to get the internet to seriously decide on something we got Boaty McBoatface.
And lo, the Internet looked down upon it’s handiwork, and verily, t’was awesome.
All posts in these (business) subs can be advertisements, perfect.
And nobody will ever go there. And, two years down the track, u/spaz will hoik up the pricing or cut them off entirely because they’re making money off of a non-profitable Reddit. “We want to work with the business subs but they’re not interested in talking to us and have all thrown their toys out of the pram and shut down”.
But the phased cloak had problems, and is is seemingly a dead end for the ability to fire while cloaked.
Why? Wouldn’t a photon torpedo immediately pass beyond the phased cloaking field and then immediately return to normal phase? Assume a phaser beam would the the same.
Unless we’re saying there’s no “field” as such, but the entire mass of the ship is altered and thus any projectile would still stay out of phase beyond the ship. If so, couldn’t a torpedo have an integrated “rephase” module added? Problem solved.
We need to know: is the belly a trap?
Those are fediverse toilets. If you shit in one of them it will be available in the other one too.
This is the way.
Absolutely. The frustrating thing is that there was no need for it to be like this. If they’d have just said “look, there’s no easy way to cut this, but the third party apps cut into our bottom line and we’ve got to a place where we can’t let that slide any more”, I think people would have grumbled but understood. Have a decent period of transition time (I’m talking 6-12 months) during which they have a big push to bring the official app at least close to feature parity with the third party apps. I wouldn’t call that “everyone’s a winner”, but it would have been something everyone could have lived with, I think.
You get an updoot! And YOU get an updoot!
