I want a Pike and Sisko spinoff after they are both removed from the timeline. Now that would have been an interesting way to start section 31.

The Vorta were all genetically engineered anyway, and it would be make sense to customize them for the job they were assigned. I assume that Vorta agents had that power but commanders and politicians didnt. The Founders did go out of their way to ensure all their servants were excellent and their job, but terrible at everything else.

I think its mostly just how thin his skin is and how hes publicising these events. Usually with a VIP political figure addressing the troops the big concern is physical security. They know full well that ~50% of the people in the room hate their guts, and they are totally ok with and used to that. They also know everyone will at least keep their mouth shut if they disagree.

It is relevant. Congress is mostly going along with him because they are afraid of being primaried. If he dips much lower we might suddenly see unexpected people speaking truth to power.

They kind of have to. They can order to them to stand there for the speech and to cheer at the end, but there are a lot of ways to interpret that order. Better to hand pick people who want to be there, rather than deal with a bunch of sarcastic soldiers trying to make their displeasure known on camera.

Thats less than 50 million GPT plus subscriptions, even fewer if you factor in the more expensive subscriptions. Thats alot of subscriptions, but not an implausible number.

Wait, Im confused. Which ones the hyper capitalist and which ones the fascist?

A move like that means reshuffling a bunch of other stuff, from logistics to air defense, to support the new posture and backfill the missing assets. Assuming Russia did a shitty job with their planning, there may be lots of juicy targets of opportunity for the next few weeks.

These are magic spells, not arguments based on logic.

Ive looked into this a little bit before, and while insects have theoretical advantages, its actually really difficult to beat chickens for turning feed into protein. Beef is extremely inefficient by nature, but theres a lot of technical hurdles between us from an insect meat world.

The paper itself says "The phenomenon of biological ultraweak photon emission (UPE), that is, extremely low-intensity emission (10–103 photons cm–2 s–1) in the spectral range of 200–1000 nm, has been observed in all living systems that have been examined." Human vision falls within that spectral range, but the brightness is several orders magnitude too faint to see with the naked eye, even in absolute darkness.
