What the heck! I might have to go for this one!

Some of them aren’t that interesting to me - I own a lot of these, but some of these I’ve wanted really bad.

Sucks there’s not the Who crossover on here, but nuts anyway.

1 "real" Robin Hood, coming right up:

(From an ep of Doctor Who, where he's TOTALLY real. ) Wink

At least they have two whole seasons to wrap stuff up and know about the end ahead of time, unlike Lower Decks, which got the memo in the middle of season development.

The problem is people commented on it already.

Although Wesley’s acceptance occurred only months after Wolf 359 - it’s possible that event caused Starfleet to more easily accept cadets (including Wesley), and just happened to benefit Nog’s chances.

The Dominion tensions around the time of Nog’s admission may have also put Starfleet on edge and caused them to continue Wolf 359 era admission policies.

The "Harry Kim" thing was mostly just a joke. I guess the more literal phrasing of my question is how did someone, over less than three years, go from seemingly severely inadequate education to being accepted into Starfleet Academy and becoming an effective officer.

I've always wondered what the proper Klingon translation of "Experience bIj" is.

The best I can come with, with my crappy understanding of Klingon and The Klingon Dictionary at my side is "bIj yIbech" ("Suffer bIj!"), but there is probably something horribly wrong with that translation. Even if nothing was grammatically wrong with it, it could be an overly literal translation.

And this is why for the most part, I'll never run a browser extension that isn't FOSS. Certainly a perfect defense, but combined with just trying to use as few extensions as possible, it has worked for me.

I also get the feeling that Firefox usage per capita is higher around the fediverse - I certainly use it.

I mean, I’m pretty sure it says at the end of the episode the Doctor decided to try and find what ended up happening to Voyager after he set the record straight.

Actually, the fact Boimler has one suggests they made an iteration for the early 2380s uniform, meaning they kept making them for a while.

What I meant is technically, in the time frame of Academy, assuming we can take their word that this is the "normal" Doctor, the VOY:Living Witness Doctor should still be alive as well.

Depending on how you count it, both will be the same age. It would be incredibly funny if both versions of the Doctor met.

[–] data1701d@startrek.website 3 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Both of them.

Actually, imagine a William Boimler moment between Alpha Quadrant Doctor and Delta Copy Doctor.

 

Personally, to keep my documents like Inkscape files or LibreOffice documents separate from my code, I add a directory under my home directory called Development. There, I can do git clones to my heart's content

What do you all do?

 

I wonder if it's just coincidence, if this inspired the Johns (I know they're Ramones fans, or if the two songs share a common ancestor.

Confusion on Trek Eras (startrek.website)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by data1701d@startrek.website to c/startrek@startrek.website
 

TLDR; Is PRO TNG or PIC era? Do Trek eras as we know them even matter anymore?

Edit: Fixed TOK to be TWOK era. My 2 brain cells had failed me there.

Before I give my problem, here's what I find the conventional Star Trek eras to be (including some common sub-eras that some might consider distinct):

  • ENT era: 2150s-2160s
  • TOS era: 2250s-early 2290s
    • TWOK era: 2270s-early 2290s
  • Lost era: 2290s-roughly 2330s
  • TNG era: 2340s-early 2380s (I count Enterprise C as roughly the start of the TNG era. At the very least, the shuttle for the Hansen's ill-fated trip in the 2350s has the trappings of the TNG era).
    • DS9/VOY/TNG film era: 2370s, maybe early 2380s
  • PIC era: mid 2380s-early 25th century (I think the Utopia Planetia in 2385 is my cutoff)
  • DIS era: 32nd century

I think most newer series have obvious placements, e.g:

  • DIS starts in the TOS era, then starts its own era.
  • SNW is in the TOS era (I'd argue it's straight up canon, based on LD).
  • LD is TNG era, based on LCARS designs and the story conventions it parodies/pastiches.

However, the main thing that is ruffling my feathers is that PRO's placement in my framework is very confusing. It exists on an awkward border between TNG and PIC.

On one hand, some of its storytelling conventions fit better with PIC, not to mention the fact that the Utopia Planetia attack occurs at the end of PRO.

On the other hand, PRO continues some TNG era characters that aren't yet elderly versions of themselves.

This goes back to the initial question: Do we place the vast majority of PRO in the TNG era (and have like the last five minutes of season 2 [hopefully not the show] in PIC era), or do we extend the Picard era backwards to 2383 to include PRO in its entirety?

The 2383 solution might work, as that leaves 2382 in the TNG era for the 5th season of Lower Decks.

 

I have a random guess about the problem with the alternate, bearded Boimler: he’s actually William Boimler, who killed (or imprisoned) Bradward and took his place on that Cerritos for mysterious Section 31 reasons.

That Boimler even says, “nobody deserves to be replaced by their own double.”

 

EDIT: I forgot to add a screenshot. Here it is.

While re-watching DS9 S1:E19 "Duet", I noticed this okudagram around 6:21 and got a bit curious.

Some of these images just look like aliens they would have already had pictures of. However, two stand out as potential easter eggs - the picture on the middle left looks unmistakably like Spock, and the human on the bottom left looks like they could be a production worker or a favorite musical artist.

However, Memory Alpha and a simple Google Search don't seem to turn up anything. I'm intrigued to know what history, if any, is behind this graphic.

 
 

Is Federation sun screen just that good? Does the standard Federation checkup include un-tanning? I am at a loss for any explanation.

 

I pick it up again every once in a while. I just had a slate of particularly miserable emeritus short losses, including one where 9 of the 13 Klingons left were in one sector. I was docked in a Starbase adjacent to that sector, and I could have sent an armed probe. Instead, to not get any more planet loss points, I decided, "I'm just gonna take em with phasers." I got killed immediately.

Note that Bashir is not yawning, but doing that weird wall shuffling-screaming thing that no one understands, probably not even Siddig or the director at the time of filming.

Now MOOOOVE ALOOOOOONG HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEM! (Whacks those weird wood sticks together.)

 

What are your favorite songs off Factory Showroom? I personally enjoy:

  • Spiraling Shape
  • The Bells are Ringing
  • 'Til My Head Falls Off
  • Sing Like a Girl
 

Moral of the story: don't disregard the fire laws.
