Gaffer tape. Gaffer tape everywhere. And for those LEDs that you actually want to see, but not light up the whole room, two pieces of gaffer tape with a hair’s breadth between them. Makes for an indicator light that can only really be seen when your looking straight at it.
By “new trek” you mean everything TNG and after, right?
That punk scene hits different today in an age where that punk is more likely to use headphones and it’s more likely to be the geriatric boomer streaming Facebook on speaker that is annoying everyone else because they proudly don’t give a fuck about anyone else and may actually be looking for a fight.
With the multiverse all things are possible. The “mirror” universe could just be whatever multiverse happens to be the antipode of the current zeitgeist. Like a sociological dipole. Therefore appearing to be “recreated” as a psycho-re-active kind of place, but also a physical reality that always existed. This could be happening often enough through various combinations that the “mirror” universe would even have a memory of previous encounters with a “prime” universe similar to, but not necessarily identical to, the prime universe we are currently watching.
Everyone should just report the error to Google over and over and over again. Remind them that the federal government doesn’t actually have unilateral authority to rename major international geographic features on the whim of a single deranged despot.
I was referring to that glorious hair.
The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very very brightly. Look at you. You’re the prodigal son. You’re quite a prize!
For me the wildest aspect of the Hyperion portals was that there was essentially only one portal. Hyperdimensional godlike artificial super-intelligences swept the portal across each doorway like some sort of cosmic lighthouse, mimicking the theory that there only exists a single electron in the universe that travels backwards and forwards in time to be every electron for everything everywhere all and once. Also, those articlfical intelligences shared their environs with other older beings referred to as “Lions and tigers and bears.”
What’s going on with their hair? Looks like everyone is whereing the “hide those Vulcan ears” headband from Star Trek IV (the one with the whales).
Wanna listen to a Midwestern nerd talk at length about how awful these kinds of devices are with respect to efficiency? I got you…
Technology Connections - Thermoelectric cooling: it’s not great.
Interesting take about TNG “standing on its own”. Sure that’s valid. But the first few seasons on TNG aired concurrently with the TOS movies. It’s never occurred to me that TNG is anything but a continuation of TOS, it’s Even in the name, not a spin-off, not a reboot, not an alternate timeline (until many movies later), a continuation of a story about imperialism struggling internally with morality and existential philosophy (vs. evil empire fighting rebels). New shows are welcome to be spin-offs, reboots, and alternate timelines, but (for me) not TNG.
A burger is a sandwich with ground meat pressed together to form a patty. A patty is similar to, but also distinct from, a sausage. No patty? Not a burger. A sloppy Joe, pulled pork, or pulled chicken sandwich are similar, but definitely not burgers because there is no patty.
He’s blinding it by putting a bag over its head, but the bag is strangely not illustrated. Ostriches calm significantly once they can’t see. The meme of an ostrich sticking their head in the sand has some basis in reality, especially considering they love building their nests in sandy areas.
I think the guy in the front is pantomiming putting a bag over its head, but the bag itself is missing from the illustration.
There is a whole album of this stuff: Seeking Major Tom
Odd design choice. My oven turns the light on when the door is opened (in addition to a manual option). Maybe somebody “repaired” your oven at some point and replaced the door switch for the light with the wrong type? I had to be aware of this when I replaced a similar switch connected to a relay that turned a light on in a closet when you opened the door. I don’t remember the specific jargon at the moment, but it boiled down to whether or not the switch was open or closed by the action of depressing the switch. I think the language might have been something like normally open or normally closed.
What’s wrong with spouse? Have people forgotten that thesaurus exist? Spouse is already gender neutral, literally means married partner, and doesn’t sound like a corporate speak buzzword to make the drones feel like family.
Maybe. These days it could just be fancy lights (beware of ad-trackers): https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-components-accessories/cmhlekit2-d5/vengeance-rgb-ddr5-light-enhancement-kit-black-cmhlekit2-d5
