Another problem is about where to redirect the overcharge. In space there is no ground where the current can go. Yet you need to dissipate the energy somewhere.
It’s probably grounded to the hull somewhere, put in a couple electric gizmos and feed the power back into your batteries. Now the enemy is charging your ship while they blow it up because you didn’t turn on your sheild.
This one that I found cuts off just about where the photo does (around his knees), so I tried to pick which guy to replace that would look the most natural.
After editing stuff like this lately, I’m going to be constantly noticing when shows I watch do full-body shots against a not too busy background. It’s harder to find than you’d think!
In finding out what her meatloaf is made of (sexism), looks like Set Phasers To LOL became a Cheezburger Channel no longer worthy of being featured in their sidebar.
Depends on the situation. Sometimes they only find out that the planet they’re beaming down to is actually a 1920’s mafia planet or a Nazi Germany planet after the fact once they get there, and then it’s like, “Bones, Spock, and also random Crewman, we’ve just beamed down to a mafia planet, we need to get some proper clothes before we’re spotted. Oh no, we’ve been spotted, beat these mafia guys up and steal their clothes quick before we’re spotted again.”
Although to be fair those sorts of episodes actually didn’t involve time travel, since they were other planets that for some reason or another became entire planets of mafiosos and Nazis, but the prime directive still applied.
Pretty much the lamest conspiracy theory. There are better ones like Rhode Island is actually the third largest state in the US but the other states are trying to keep it down.
Dont tell me you are one of those people who who are so naive they ACTUALLY believe humans came up with that Birds Aren’t Real conspiracy? Lol some people can’t see the truth when it is right there screaming in their face. It is clearly a crow psy-op campaign to distract humanity from uncovering their preparations for crowmeggedon. We are running out of time to raise people’s awareness, we have to speak up before the only ones left to speak have beaks….
Well I haven’t gotten that particular conspiracy theory off the ground yet, still trying to get people in on that one.
I think it is everything you could want from a conspiracy theory though, you just steal all the same talking points from flat earthers but apply the conspiracy in so much more of a petty and meaningless direction that I think it has real potential.
A not insignificant number of guests are usually dressed like regular modern day people. Ren faires are for everyone, and most people don’t own period costumes. It’s usually encouraged for guests to dress up, but it absolutely is not required.
It sounds like it’s basically the same. My understanding is this type of thing actually started in the US and was exported to Europe, ironically enough. But yeah, many (most) guests are not in costume. I don’t see how some guests in Trek costumes would harm anything.
“Ren Fairs” in the US are more likely to be put on for fun. Go hear a guy in tights play a lute, eat a roast turkey leg, etc. I think convention cosplay culture is starting to leak in.
If you want to see Americans take period costume seriously, go to a “reenactment.” You’ll find folks who are very serious about history, many of them are professional historians, archaeologists or museum employees performing for the education of the public. Probably the biggest community is the one around the American Civil War. Go watch the movie Gettysburg. Sure there’s the main cast of Hollywood actors, but then there’s hundreds and hundreds of extras. They’re war reenactors, who showed up with their own personal uniforms and equipment.
going by your username Im gonna assume youre german. you see all kinds of costumes and clothings at the MPS for example and imho noone is bothered by it
Same. It used to be a lot more of historical reenactment, and a lot of the performances and stuff still reflect that.
But the last few times I’ve gone it’s mainly been a themed craft show with corsets and tunics, and yeah, people with wings, steampunk hats, and Cloud’s buster sword, or tails hanging out of their pants. :|
There’s a great book on the LARP scene called “Leaving Mundania” by Lizzie Stark that’s a really easy, entertaining read. It helped me really empathize with the hobby and the people behind it.
She kinda had the same perspective but approached it with curiosity to figure out what the fuss was about.
(Up until that last chapter on “Nordic LARP”… it’s been ages since I read it but that stuff got weeeird.)
It’s one of those things that would sound like a ton of fun to me, going all in on pretending to be some fantasy character and everybody else is in on the bit, but there’s some combat rules to prevent “invincible OC syndrome” so you’re actually moving playing pretend instead of plopped in a chair for 6 hours for a tabletop game.
In any case, it looks like a good way to escape playing “Bills & Bosses”, a game that is near-universally reviled. hahaha
Unfortunately it’s just very geo-dependent and cost intensive I’d think haha.
IDK man, the more historical Renaissance fairs still exist, with people a bit more strict about dressing period-appropriately. The ones you’re talking about are basically a whole separate thing, it’s basically a fantasy-inspired comic-con, and attracts a whole different audience.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with either. I think it’s awesome that there’s places for people to sell their niche handmade goods while sporting the fashions of 17th-century France or whatever, as well as places where people can dress up like fantasy creatures, tails and all.
Oh sure I agree! The slightly confusing bit is the one here is called “Age of Chivalry - Renaissance Festival”, but could just as easily be “Medieval-themed fantasy con and craft show” …maybe wouldn’t be as catchy.
…but hey I got some sweet custom dice there ¯_(ツ)_/¯
