The Dominion Did Nothing Wrong^TM

From a national security standpoint of the government, it absolutely does matter who has the data.

TestDisk and PhotoRec. TestDisk can recover broken drive partitions, PhotoRec can recover deleted files even if the partition table is borked.

There are Federation time beacons. The E-D resynchronized the ship’s chronometer using one after they got stuck in a time loop in Cause and Effect. They, however, did not use it when they lost a day in Clues.

Shiny!

You can collect unemployment after quitting if you have a good cause for quitting.

PSA: gog.com sells versions of Armada and Hidden Evil that work on modern systems.

The Voyage Home is the first movie I remember seeing. I was around 3 years old and my parents took me to see it at a drive in theater. It remains my favorite Trek movie.

Whenever you notice something like that, Q did it.

But also note that 99% of the victims of the guillotine during the French revolution were innocent commoners, most of the nobility escaped abroad long before the reign of terror started, and the final victim of the terror was the guy who had been in charge of it.

“Here come the test results: ‘You are a horrible person’. That’s what it says, ‘a horrible person’. We weren’t even testing for that!”

I just use Everything desktop search and let the files fall where they may.

Just lemmy in a browser for me. Never used facebag or twatter or others besides reddit.

More like, “I want a sandwich but i can’t afford one. I guess I’ll go become a porn actor or a prostitute to earn money"

Weird premise aside, Kirk’s speech at the end about how it “must apply to everyone or it means nothing” is actually pretty stirring, IMHO.

I want Roland Emmerich to make a movie out of the short story A Pail of Air.

tl;dr/spoiler: ~20 years ago, a black hole passed through the solar system and captured the Earth, dragging it inexorably away from the Sun. This causes great earthquakes, tsunami, and other immediate civilization-ending catastrophes, but the real disaster comes when the atmosphere freezes and falls like snow to the ground. The original story follows a young boy born after the cataclysm whose chores include collecting buckets of frozen air.

You are fully licensed and bonded by the city, aren’t you?

Your replicator is probably too small to replicate larger components, which would be a major inconvenience at best or a showstopper at worst. And industrial replicators are even harder to come by than starships.

Then there’s getting access to the replicator patterns for sensitive or dangerous components. Dilithium chambers, weapons, Mercassium composite for shield generators, etc. are classified by Starfleet.

Then there are substances that can’t be replicated, such as verterium cortenide for the warp coils. I don’t think it’s explicitly stated that VC can’t be replicated, but we know that Voyager had to find some to refit their warp coils, they couldn’t just replicate it. Also dilithium.

And finally, there’s antimatter. Building a starship won’t do you much good if you don’t have gas for the tank. Antimatter does not occur in large quantities in nature, and probably can’t be replicated (or at least not safely.) So you’d need some sort of industrial base to produce it, further complicating your plans.

I yearn for the simpler days when the worst thing a Republican president might do is tamper with Medicare.

My intent was to point out how ridiculous the “103% increase” line is, not to suggest the comparison was valid in the first place.
