PieFed did some policy change on… weighting votes for people who vote thousands of times a day, or something like that? PJ said that made him want to change instance again, but he’d done that a few times already and couldn’t be bothered with the process again. (this is from memory, i haven’t double checked while writing)

a more direct Scotty connection to “bucket of bolts” is the end of The Voyage Home - Sulu says he hopes the crew are posted to Excelsior and Scott incredulously dismisses it, his former posting, as a bucket of bolts.

also, we’ve seen humans on Vulcan in Amok Time, The Search For Spock, probably some Discovery, and none of them had any apparent difficulties with high gravity, Kirk could even fight, and you can bet Bones would have grumbled about it.

I would say it’s The Voyage Home that established warp 10 as the ultimate threshold, a few years before TNG.

Not now, Madeline!

Sony recently announced they’ll stop making discs for Playstations in 2028.

i still have a vague mistrust of file extensions longer than three characters.

like a glass walkway, i know .jpeg is just as safe as .jpg, but there’s a hint of uneasiness.

Paleontologist? probably was just there for his “dinosaurs built the pyramids” theory.

Fermi paradox solution: aliens approach from a direction where the first part they see is the Philippines and Indonesia, and just say “nah I’m not learning all those names of islands”, and leave.

Kodi can do this with the number buttons on a TV remote.

note that it can do it but whether it actually does or not depends on your individual install and if the CEC demons are cooperative.

She’s writing for Academy, and was cast in one (excellent) episode of Academy as a character who seems quite likely to occasionally recur, btw.

is that Kavanagh from Stargate Atlantis?

this is great Trek, among the best Trek, all about how to keep going after loss and failure, with help, and, just as important, by giving help if you can.

it got me all face wet like the end of TNG “The Offspring”, Data’s daughter, but the focus there was more on loss than what Data learned and how he grew from his loss. This ep was a celebration of that resilience after trauma.

Pentahemiliters.

sincerely hope Karl Urban joins Strange New Worlds as McCoy.

if you’re posting about diversity being a negative, you’ve totally missed the point of all Star Trek since 1966.

in TOS, so several years after this episode, M’Benga knows to repeatedly slap Spock in the face to get him out that week’s Vulcan bullshit.

it’s a reliable treatment!

Was it shown as connected Ent-D style? That makes sense for the D, we can see the room and windows from the outside, but the SNW conference room is huge, much bigger than the D’s, where could it fit in the 1701 dash nothing’s saucer-top dome?

I guess they have TARDIS-like “bigger on the inside” tech now, given Pike’s half-acre quarters and the ludicrous outside-the-turbolift scene in the Q&A Short Trek.

(not a grumpy old trekkie, honest, i generally love SNW)

ehh, that doesn’t fit with Julian Bashir, the treatment to relieve his learning impairments was illegal, so his father went for the enhancement package because that wasn’t extra illegal on top.

i guess Scotty’s comment while transporting about not wanting to jumble up Pike and M’Benga was a nod to this.

perhaps that Delta quadrant flower is a distant cousin of the Chimera blossom.

those states, Assam and beyond are called the Seven Sisters, and Sikkim is often included too as the One Brother.
