It was meant to be a backwater station around a planet that was unstable. Mostly they job was be in the way of cardasian return and try valiently to get things towards Fed membership. I believe he had been a Lt commander aboard ships serving as the XO. He was at least a project lead at the ship yards. He may have even run the yards, I don’t recall right now.

He was pushed into a command role that was intended to bring him back to where his career was many to be.

The rank of a station commander depends on the importance of the station in the fleet. Admiralty are posted to stations that are region command stations. The postings serve as command of the fleets in the region as well. For smaller posts the rank to command them drops a lot. Sisko was placed in command of one small station with a couple runabouts. The rank of Commander suits the post. Once it got more important he was already imbedded deeply with the the bajorans.

As a person with an irritable bladder. 90%+ of the time a public washroom or easily accessible washroom would be preferred and would stop me from peeing on random shit.

Didn’t Wesley go to some special testing that had the geniuses competing for one specific seat. I recall he basically went there because there happened to be a particular available slot rather than just the general admission.

From the episode:

Captain’s log, stardate 41416.2. We’re orbiting Relva Seven, where Wesley Crusher is about to be tested for entrance into Starfleet Academy.

CHANG: I’m proud of all of you. You’ve done a superb job. Each of you would make a fine Starfleet officer. It’s unfair that only one candidate from Relva will attend the Academy this year, and a loss to the Federation if the rest of you do not return to test again. Mister Mordock will be the candidate. His results were slightly higher than Mister Crusher’s. Congratulations, Mister Mordock. You’re the first Benzite in Starfleet.

So I think it has much more to do with the timing of his attempt that mattered. Had he just waited with everyone else it wouldn’t have been such an intense competition

Specifically from Tim Hortons, which despite not having been Canadian in ages still gets treated like a Canadian icon.

But as a result yeah, often referred to that way in common culture.

As a Canadian it looks like a timbit being used for scale

They hand waved away the holodeck power thing in Voyager by days something along the lines of it is a different type of power that wasn’t worth trying to convert to normal power for some reason. Basically just another Voyager excuse to ignore the premises of the show unless they happen to be bored that day.

Also a voters pay and retirement benefits are not likely to be impacted by how they vote. Civil service it can make a huge difference in the long run if you retire vs get dismissed.

As much as that is a wonderful sentiment. Retirement vs firing might make a substantial difference in their quality of life i. Retirement whereas getting fired is a symbolic gesture that may or may not have any impact at all. I can understand trying to make sure that personally you come out as on as possible.

I think in the third case the symbiont wouldn’t be in Sto’Vo’Kor. It didn’t die. So a Jadzia returning would be without Dax. So then the question would be would she return with the Dax memories or not.

And the first sentence literally describes the scientific definition of bug…

No idea but I love it

Cis refers to gender identity where as straight refers to their sexuality.

I dunno. Lower decks is pretty amazing.

This is from lower decks, the new animated comedy star trek. In my opinion the best Trek since DS9.
