I still let it grow despite the weeds. But weeds is an understatement. As I said, it’s thornbushes and they grow into impassible thicket. I have enough acres that I’m fine with it. But it’s not something the average homeowner could allow to happen. It isn’t child safe.
I did some math. Volume of TNG bridge: 480,000 liters. 1 person breathes 8 liters per minute of air. That’s not using up all the oxygen but it’s how much you would use without any oxygen reduction at all.
480,000 / 8 = 60,000 minutes of air before noticing the air is stale.
60,000 minutes / 11 crew on the bridge (including Wesley) = over 3 days of no air before they’d even notice that oxygen was lower.
I always laugh at how life support represents a huge fraction of power. They can boost shields 20% from life support. Shields that protect them from gigantic weapons.
Meanwhile Apollo 13 astronauts survived for 3 days with no power and a tiny oxygen tank.
TNG enterprise reactor creates 12.75 billion gigawatts and has a crew of around 1000. For comparison, One World Trade Center uses 110 mega watts for 8,000 people.
Edit:
A better comparison is the ISS which uses an absolute maximum of 17kw per astronaut for lights/computers/air/water/heat.
That’s 17 Megawatts for the Enterprise ~1000 crew?
So that’s 17 *10^9 / 12.7 *10^18 =
Life support uses about 1 billionth of the Enterprise’s power.
Could be but finding a motherboard that has verified ECC is tricky. Most say works but not tested/supported so you’re on your own to figure out if ECC fully works.
This is really nice for home servers. There has been a huge gap for years where the choice was a 16-64 core high watt monstrosity or use a 4 year old server CPU before every server went to high core counts.
Plex, Blue Iris, Minecraft mod servers for the kids. I’ll often use the server CPU for video filtering/encoding home videos off of VHS tapes because the nnedi3 filter takes a lot of CPU.
Years ago I lost data on a nas because the ram wasn’t ECC. So I won’t buy/build any PC without ECC unless it’s only going to be used for web browsing/gaming.
Only useful against technology really, and that seems so unrealistic. That’s where it lost me, the convenience of a creature that can EM machines. So unbelievable....

“in a time when Americans are as or more divided and polarized than at any time since the 19th century, the appeal of feel-good patriotic stories about Americans fighting “the last good war” should be greater today than in 1998.”
Hot take:
A small part of the reason WW2 media is no longer popular is that it features Americans fighting Nazis and now a significant percentage of Americans are Nazis.

Godzilla (2014) was pretty good, except for Muto having that electromagnetic pulse weapon. Why would a biological evolutionarily develop such a thing? It's useless against Godzilla.
