Bro I post relentlessly because I am suicidally depressed and being able to help make other people happy makes me feel less shitty. I think it’s kind of an insane take to say “If someone posts a lot then they’re content/link farmers” as if there aren’t a thousand different reasons why someone would post.

That’s just making some wild assumptions while being toxic as hell towards those you don’t know.

Right? “I don’t like people who post a lot.” Dude. It’s a fledgling site. Reddit openly admitted to fleecing traffic when it was starting out but this dudes angry that users are engaged with Lemmy and wanna help it grow and provide content?

Guessing the dude has me blocked already and there’s not going to be anything of positive value lost from my comment sections.

Bethesda doesn’t fix their bugs at all and makes them worse. Larian is actively working with the community and releasing major patches to fix major bugs.

Your complaint has no validity.

There’s nothing to be sorry for as the only thing of mine that you’re negating is the ‘omnipresent’ thing and that’s only because I misread it as omniscient. Even then you’re not negating it fully as Season 4 specifically shows that the mycelial network doesn’t exist outside of the galactic boundaries. It only exists where life exists.

Everything else stands.

That’s a you problem, not a reality problem.

I misread it as omniscient. My bad there.

The root system isn’t omnipresent though. It only exists where life exists. The root system doesn’t permeate in regions of dead space or intergalactic space. If there’s nothing for life to grow on then the network doesn’t exist there.

Yawn. Low effort troll is low effort.

Blocked. Got better things to do than acknowledge your existence.

I’m not awake enough yet to comprehend this but will respond soon. Sorry!

Mushrooms are cool. They defy reality here on earth. Makes sense they’d do it in space.

Depends on what isogram we’re talking about. The measurement system in Trek? Then neither weighs more as they’re both one isogram.

If you’re talking about the phrase measurement then neither as neither ‘isogram of mycelium’ or ‘isogram of dilithium’ share an equal amount of letters

But it couldn’t. The network requires a living link. Computers were used for the first couple episodes and they were beyong unreliable.

Proteins that could not be adequately replicated by a computer while also being accepted by the network. Again. Literally in the first few episodes.

A computer simply couldn’t properly interface with the network.

Stamets,

The network doesn’t seem to feed off of anything but is instead symbiotic in a way, the way that mushrooms are on earth. They’re just a part of the life/death/rebirth cycle.

They’ve never conclusively stated that the network only works in milky way though. Intergalactic space was a no go but they’ve never tried jumping to another galaxy yet. Be crazy if they did in season 5…

I’m not sure why you’re ignoring what I’m saying.

The speed of the computers is irrelevant. The network required a living organic link. Simulations, while being fast enough, were rejected by the network.

Simulations did not work. I have no idea why you’re so hung up on this when they did it and it failed repeatedly.

Taking a page out of the Janeway Book of Temporal Mechanics.

Step 1: Fuck it, throw out the book.

One of my best friends has been pushing that show on me a lot. He’d be so pissed if he found out a Trek community was what got me to watch it and not him…

That savoury makes the difference. It isn’t a flavor profile though. It’s a dried herb. Summer Savoury. In Newfoundland it’s just called savoury all the time. No, I don’t know why. Confused the hell out of me too when I was younger.

Stamets,
@Stamets@startrek.website avatar

It doesn’t grow solely in Newfoundland so you might be able to get it elsewhere. It’s just an herb. The issue comes with getting it at specific times of year.
