You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not....
Force field bubbles are wild. I bet you could use them as transportation as well. Just explode one under your feet and catch yourself with them when you land.
At a minimum you could make bridges that would let you walk/run/ride/drive though the air or across water. Still great for travel.
They host incredibly tiny text files. We are talking in the single KB range. Even serving millions of these a day is minor load to current hosting environments.
Most modern webpages load the equivalent of 1000s of subtitles to every user on every page load, including small sites like personal blogs.
I would be surprised if their hosting costs were even in the $1000s/month instead of $100s.
Thats the likely reason they don’t share the costs. It’s that cheap to run. Even asking for donations might be pushing it. Demanding payment? Bullshit.
Star trek opening credits were always these expansive, gorgeous classical pieces. Highly aspirational, with intense, driving music but very grandiose. Much like the show itself, with its themes of exploration, discovery and compassion.
This was the case for the first 4 star trek shows, but when the 5th show Enterprise premiered, a show about the federation leading up to the original series timeline, its intro was a country pop power ballad. Think “I love my blue jeans, I love my truck, l love my beer and America” style.
Its still inspirational and driving, but it was a wild departure from the more cerebral intros that came before it.
Strong points that I agree with, but Q’s temptations are also pretty weak when you remember holodecks exist.
Q keeps throwing “imaginary” women at Worf and Riker thinking that they can’t go to the holodeck and load up any number of “Barkley’s Follies” or “Beverly’s ghosts with the most” programs.
Sure makes dealing with a trickster god that will ruin you less appealing.
The federation prioritizes rights like privacy, so I’m sure you can have private programs. It’s a military vessel, so it’s likely there are caveats, but I think “private” is probally the default.
I also think Barkley and The Dancing Doctor are freaky enough to publically share their porn.
Metal roofs are also an option that go great with solar. There is a style of metal roof panels where you dont drill at all, you just clamp the panels on the ridges.
Roofing is its own ball of wax, but if youre handy or need a new one anyway they are a fine pair.
Ohh yeah, you always get more evil, but it is earnestly less of it.
You prefer +1 evil or +10 evil? That’s our system of government. Push for voting reforms, which neither evil likes, but you are more likely to get with +1 evil then +10.
Of course, but maybe not to start. To start, vote for less evil. Next, mutual aid. Next, election reform. Next, unionization and systemic social support. Do as many “nexts” at the same time as possible.
Always be fucking up facists.
After that, we probally disagree, but that’s fine. I think we both will be walking a long way together.
Would you choose invisibility or teleportation?
You could turn invisibility on and off as you like and there would be no time limit. Your clothes would turn invisible too, and you could decide whether the items you are holding would be visible or not....
