This movie is terrible. But upon reflection today, the premise is actually fascinating. Superman has the best kind of Superman crisis, caused by the limits he places on himself. He has the power to remove all nuclear weapons from the world, but should he? This is the kind of thing Lex Luthor could sound very reasonable to be...
This. Peace cannot come unless the civilians on both sides are loudly and forcefully willing to die rather than kill civilians on the other side. The problems can only be solved on an individual level.
You would need to find a way to make food spontaneously emit microwaves so it loses energy and cools off. That probably involves altering the strength of one of the nuclear forces or something.
Most of what works in the Star Trek movies evolve from what we know about the characters. Kirk’s love for his ship and history with the Klingons, Picard’s history with the Borg, Data’s struggle with emotions, that sort of thing....
Yes! My thinking is that Riker stayed on the Enterprise as long as he did because Picard is the first male authority figure in his life that he can respect and learn from. Riker is hyper-competent, but he has no sort of relationship with his father, his first captain barely survived a mutiny while performing illegal experiments, he had no problem pushing back on the captain of the Hood doing dangerous stupid things, and he would rather step down than work for Jellico. Not to mention having to phaser a few admirals to death. Riker’s whole history is a search for a man he can trust, and he found that in Picard.
So what changed, that he finally gave that up and moved on?
Apparently my church has a sustainability committee. Naturally I must give them thoughts. All I can think of so far are smart thermostats, LEDs, and replacing the monoculture grass with something pollinator-friendly. What else should be considered? Are there obvious common things that can be improved on?
Prigozhin was being politically displaced by the Ministry of Defense. His only hope was to displace the Ministry of Defense right back. Putin and the rest of the military didn't bite, and Prigozhin's position was strategically untenable. Maybe he could have taken Moscow, but everyone important had already left, and he couldn't hold Moscow once he had it. So he accepted exile over a fight to his certain death, because he's a mercenary and mercenaries don't die for a cause.

Probably a stupid question, but will we ever have something like a microwave to make things cold? Is there a reason this can't exist? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
