perhaps some aspect of her job requires it?

hmmm. i have an old LG smart TV (webOS v1), I wonder if it would be possible to sideload the Paramount app to it, somehow, and see if it would work… I think it’s currently flagged as requiring webOS v3+

the erasure of Prodigy is working apparently :(

/s

Seriously, thanks for your great attention to detail!

No, the message is that if you continue being an asshole, you don’t actually get what you want, and everyone dies in the end.

I don’t think that was supposed to be Kirk, it was credit as just “Captain”.

The message, I think, is “When Spock tells you you’re being an asshole, stop doubling down on being an asshole, or you lose it all”.

Or more generally, “This is an example of being an asshole. Don’t be like this.”

In terms of our current computers, you’re probably looking at something like yottabytes … but they don’t seem to store things in bytes at this point, as others say, quads. Which could mean that they’ve knocked the basic storage unit size from ‘byte’ to ‘4 bytes’ … A current 64-bit system can address 16 exabytes of memory, but if you were to knock that upward by an exponent of 4, you could address 65k exabytes, or 0.06 yottabytes.

That’s if we’re talking about memory capacities. Warm storage capability / use tends to be significantly larger than memory use, so I’d hazard a guess that the total storage capacity of a starship’s computers might be in the area of a few yottabytes.

This is assuming that “quad” is used because more space was required for memory architecture, and rather than upgrade to 128-bit or 256-bit computers, necessitating a huge amount of code refactoring, they just increased the minimum storage length. Of course, that would also realistically require a huge amount of code refactoring, but we’re all just making stuff up here, right? :D

Was Spock Amok broadcast after the Prodigy ep with Janeway and Dal swapping?

It’s a California class. Low budget. :D

I love all Star Trek.

… huh. Releasing a large clip from an episode of a season that doesn’t presently have anyone to broadcast it.

weird.

I don’t think most instances have enough users to get 20 upvotes on their posts. That’s not a very good indicator.

maybe we could get a crossover with Shaw so they can make that look together

Some of the UAW’s demands are pretty awful. If they get a lot of that, they’ll be back to threatening to bankrupt the automakers again. Hopefully they’ll hit somewhere inbetween, with good wage increases, but this whole “require an automaker to pay members for volunteer work if it closes the plant in their community” … what in the hell even? and pensions are a stranglehold on a business, that is a practice that has to end.

Will the UAW continue to oppose health care reforms? That’s my big question.

Part of why we are the way we are in this country, is because of the UAW and the Teamsters, and the UFCW, and probably others, opposing critical healthcare reforms, and demanding these pensions… instead of demanding that everyone get healthcare and the ability to survive in their retirement.

But, no, the unions need those benefits to their members, otherwise why would their members want the unions? (that’s their whole way of thinking…)

For the most part, the UAW opposes doing things for the public good, if they think they can force the automakers to do them instead.

the crew was constantly backstabbing, betraying, lying, and being all around bad towards each other

… what???

Millions of people watched it. It brought us the entire rest of everything in Star Trek now.

I love it.

Orville has not been renewed or cancelled, officially, at this time, as far as anyone’s aware?

To me, there is no bad Star Trek.

And then everyone watching it (which, unlike what you might think from reading this thread, is actually millions of people) would get super pissed when it got cancelled in the middle of a storyline.

it might be the first time he’s done it, but if you do that sort of thing, that kind of is your character, isn’t it?
