Keep your hands off Janeway and Paris!!!

Love John de Lancie, but we gotta shake things up a bit. (lemmy.world)

Given the events of “Picard” and the delays of the writer’s strike, it’s considerably less likely we’ll get to see our old Q up to no good. Natasha has the smarmy attitude expected from a Q, so why not? Certainly welcome to a relative unknown in the role if they can pull it off, but she gets my vote.

Make it Wil Wheaton.

He disappeared with the Traveller, and somehow got adopted by a Q, and worked his way up to full Qhood. And all he wants to do is fuck with smarmy captains.

Yup, they tried, failed, and said “Yeah, nah.” Wild.

This is a surprise? Anyone watching EVs for more than a few minutes knows that Toyota has been pushing back HARD against EVs, with other Japanese automakers doing effectively nothing to make the transition. Western automakers have been forced into it, either by scandal (hi VW) or having Tesla eat their lunch.

I expect Ford to make it, barely. GM will make it, at a cost. Toyota and Honda are too big to fail, they’ll just spend their way out of their own mess. It’s a matter of what brands will be reduced to niche manufacturers or have themselves bought out instead of going bankrupt. Stellantis has already sold themselves to Leapmotor, and will succeed or fail based on that JV.

I studied under Instructor Dooku at the Academy, it’s standard Starfleet curriculum to learn your Jedi fighting techniques.

Where the Hell are Ryder’s From Paw Patrol's Parents? (lemmy.world)

Ryder, the local young leader of the Paw Patrol, has long been a fixture in Adventure Bay. He is often seen gallivanting around town with his high-tech ATVs or overseeing operations in his pup-filled command center. However, recent concerns about his upbringing have left many locals bewildered and wondering where the hell are...

So are these dreams or nightmares?

My head canon is that he’s a severely autistic teenager with billionaire tech parents that develop AI-based autonomous robotic helpers. They gave him a bunch (mostly dog shaped) and a literal warehouse built to be Adventure Bay, so he lives out his days happy and “helping people” with his pups. In reality he’s beta testing his parents’ prototypes with edge cases no regular user could even think to come up with. The show is what Ryder thinks is happening, but it’s 50% in his head, and 50% enabled by his parents’ products. He is a more closely guarded secret than all of their IP combined. He doesn’t exist as far as anyone knows.

We don’t speak of how many pups get destroyed, or what fluids may get into them.

I’m going to presume that’s garlic sauce and that’s a solid win in my book.

Skin not being the colour of Greek yogurt will do wonders for one’s humanity.

Maybe Dr Soong was a big Simpsons fan. It was probably still going strong well into the 2300s.

I should have emphasized it as “You left your stroganOFF.”

I’ve only seen the sciencealert.com link, so that one.

It might be that I expect technical proficiency from science journalists, which might be a high bar.

I’m fine with even just an “order or magnitude” ballpark number. But again, they did not give us a rotational speed.

smuuthbrane,
@smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works avatar

The same thing that’s wrong with saying I’m going 1250 rpm down the road. It may be correct, but doesn’t actually mean anything without more data.

smuuthbrane,
@smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works avatar

They calculated it, and could only say “less than 25% of C” which isn’t even a rotational speed measurement?!? Get bent. If you don’t want to say, fine, don’t. But don’t tell me you’ve calculated something and then A) not give me that number, and B) give me a number that isn’t the number you calculated and can’t be used to determine the number you calculated without additional data that you also haven’t provided.

smuuthbrane,

15 days. Great. What’s the circumference? Oh, they didn’t give that either. “15 days” is still not a rotational velocity, it’s linear.

I’m not giving these folks grief for doing near impossible measurements, I’m giving the article grief for claiming a measurement was made, and then not stating said measurement.

I dunno, while I support everyone’s right to their own beliefs, some of their past actions and even current doctrine do not sit well with me.

The Catholics aren’t much better.

Packaged in plastic? I can guarantee that any hydrogen that had been “infused” was long gone before it got to the consumer.
