DS9 has a whole factor where there is an entire, LARGER population which is not just civilian: but also not star fleet related, or even associated with the federation. On the enterprise, everyone is there because they want to be THERE. Doing that job; exploring, researching, fixing problems and...

And economy: as people will move not only their infrastructure, but take necessary steps to insure their data doesn't pass through an american run server at all. Much in the same way people are already doing for china.

I mean... that's kinda maligning the decades of services and indescribable beauty the hubble found for us, but okay, you do you.

The automation on federation starships makes using it by even one person (as witnessed by dr. crusher.) feasible. But in those cases: it's literally just a taxi. Point A to point B and pray nothing breaks en route. The rest of the crew is there for experience (to both earn it, and benefit others...

Klingons ARE smart... just not smart enough to not get stabbed.

I mean, there isn't a joke about life support in there. Just ******* DIE already.

I mean: I'm sure microscopic transcription errors occur, because no technology is flawless, but yeah: every cubic micron is functionally identical. It is called a "replicator" and not "best effortinator". This statement actually makes McCoys apprehension about the transporter seem reasonable...

It streamlines the whole process, eliminates all kinds of physical waste (cause bob from design will still take 3 coffee breaks an hour.), and allows not just universal sharing but large scale, long distance collaboration. Inside the federations subspace network, information functionally travels...

My dude: she's not dead, she's out living her life and being herself. Sure you'll miss her; but you can call her, face time her, send her a letter or post card, and here's the very important part... she's giving you an excuse for a road trip. Hell, once she's settled: go visit her. You might...

I have no idea, but given north americas penchant for "trial by media" even if the individual is acquitted I doubt they could over come the social cost of being accused of being a spy and traitor. *Sigh* Unless you're trump and his cult ******* celebrates it.

Ultimately the pattern used on eggs is THE pattern. There's no variation: replicate a million eggs and each time it will taste exactly the same. The eggs from a living source are affected by the thousands of little things that affect all life; the food source, age, general health, stress, ect...

We know that there are still pet breeders in the federation, on earth even, thanks to janeway. I never mentioned just snatching up ferals, but just about every species has some kind of domesticated companion animal, even the klingons. Don't need to raid the wilds for a pet. Also: storing them...

Please, please, PLEASE... never have a pet.

It was most obvious in the episodes where they were directly interacting and subsequently ignoring unicorn culture. Seems like despite living outside of bridlewood, the superstition is still very deeply ingrained. At least she's not running around bing-bonging...

Agreed in principle... but charges under the espionage act are so infrequent and only used on... events of significant seriousness. Honestly I don't have a problem with the charges alone coming with a penalty like this because whatever the hell you were doing that even LOOKS like espionage is...

Alright, so I just finished chapter four. I'm generally quite happy with how it came out, and even had a few genuine laugh out loud moments too. BUT!... is anyone else concerned about izzy? There was a while in there where she kinda seemed like she was on the edge of a psychotic episode...

Even if it wasn't a technological limitation (cause, let's be real here: the transporter replicates living material all the ******* time.) then it's certainly an ethical one. Why would you even need to replicate a pet anyway? Plenty of living animals out there: and the pain of loss is an...

Here's even more beauty for the comment: trumps closest primary rival is polling at less than half of his current popularity. They couldn't legitimately win an election with trump, and none of the cult will vote for anyone else.

Runabouts are also capable of flying (yes, and hovering.) in gravity and atmosphere. So it didn't do anything on the defiant it wasn't already capable of.

Oh; and to normalize both the funding and training of militia on a state level that is in on no way accountable to anyone on the federal level. Another layer of authoritarian presence, more guns in the streets for no other reason than more guns, and loyal to; not even just the state head, but...
