My father was once falsely accused of being a bak’targ. Calling Gowron Law helped restore honour to my house. 35/9 great service.

Can’t you chuck it back into a reactor and reuse it that way, to help reduce the radioactivity, and get more power back out of it?

This is Kirk and Riker slander.

Kirk doesn’t deserve that kind of reputation, whereas Riker does.

Slight shame that the contractors didn’t start from the end. It could have been funnier if they had taken off the “er” instead.

Or shut them down, given the recent debacle with Amazon shutting down someone’s account, disabling their devices in the process.

Kbin has a report function, although I don’t know if reports Federate. They might not.

Lemmy does do reporting, although it’s not clear whether it’s just moderators, or whether the admins will also receive them.

Even TOS had a blatant anti-racism episode where the conclusion was very much explicitly “if we don’t get along, we’ll be left extinct on an empty, dead husk of a planet”.

Given how that’s been going, and how that subreddit apparently got caught in the crossfire, it kind of makes you wonder what’s going on behind the scenes at Reddit. With a different person revoking it and apologising, it kind of seems like the admins aren’t really communicating to each other, and that some are putting out fires that the others are lighting.

EDIT: No Apology, just an explanation.

Although I’m curious about how they might address the “clickbait” issue of people having a massively upvoted/boosted post, and then changing the post to say something else entirely.

That seems like it might be a problem if people are allowed to edit titles.

At the same time, it might not fit them. Lemmy is a link aggregator, which seems like extra functionality that they don’t really need, not when existing forum software will do what they need, while also being more stable/mature.

Throwing my own 2 slips in, I think that Enterprise went the complete wrong way with it, by trying to “logically” explain the visual differences in Klingons, like DS9 trying to logically extrapolate the mirror universe (Enterprise also didn’t help there).

No explanation was needed (although it might have been funny to put Worf in the classic Klingon makeup), and adding one just made things a bit worse.

Honestly, the riots are probably fine, since anyone with no context would just see it as generic protest footage, or something along those lines.

Some massaging a few decades from now could tie it to the 2025 sanctuary city riots, or some other historical event instead of Jan 6 with barely any changes at all.

The Elon Musk reference definitely aged poorly, though, although having some diversity in views around historical inventors could be pretty interesting in its own right. Someone might hate Cochrane because he ended up with the credit for the warp engine, even though he didn’t build it, and only did it for the fame and money, while others might respect him for his contributions to humanity, and being instrumental in Earth’s official First Contact with aliens.

It’s got a very TOS-style of writing and story to it.

I remember seeing a fair few people pitch a fit about the Burn, for example, even though “angry man has a tantrum and nearly blows up the universe”, and “child with godlike powers” are common TOS plots.

They tried something new, which I don’t mind them for, but I don’t think it mixed well with people being used to more TNG-styles plots, and the writing not being that great. Still, it managed to help kickstart the modern revival of Trek, and gave us (non-wheelchair) Captain Pike, so it wasn’t all bad.

And a Russian and Japanese crew member at the height of the Cold War. Not just as background, but as one of the main crew.

It’s a lottery. Some are smart and regal, while others are goofs.

There are certain devices that do do that, but it’s not a defibrillator. A defibrillator will stop/prevent an arrhythmia by stopping the heart, and letting it restart on its own (hoping that it goes to a normal rhythm), and delivering further shocks if it gets back into one.

The device you’re looking for to help a heart beat again would be a pacer, or a pacemaker, which will shock the heart to force it to pump, and restore rhythm that way. They’re commonly used for conditions like heart failure, if the heartbeat generation systems/internal pacemaker can’t generate a heartbeat quickly enough to sustain life.

Because the stupid thing is the only thing that you remember. You don’t remember what you were doing 5 years ago, except the stupid thing.

Now if you did a stupid thing yesterday, you would probably remember that, but not anything else.

Just look at Lore. He wiped out a colony, and could do far worse damage if he was both more competent and stable. It eventually escalated to the point where Data had to shut him down, due to the danger he posed to the rest of the Federation.
