I just remembered the discussion without separation was in Disaster, when Troi was the senior officer on the bridge and a warp core breach was developing. Ro wanted her to separate the ship to save as many people as possible, but Troi wanted to wait in the hopes someone would get to engineering and fix the problem.
Yeah what was the point of that test?! "Oooh he give orders good."
Break out the joystick like in Insurrection and let's fucking dock this thing MANUALLY.
A hypothesis to investigate isn't a bad idea, that's the scientific method. Staying married to it at all costs is a major problem.
Yeah I read somewhere they found it just slowed down the episode too much, so it wasn't used much after the first season.
Correctly used in the movie though.
Not to ruin the mood, but I think the idea was that it was this scary procedure only used in extreme emergencies.
For example, when the episode was running short by about 5 minutes...
Well, yeah. You need them for FOIA and potential lawsuits and audits.
I just read Framed by John Grisham and Jim McCloskey...and it's insane how far the police and prosecution will go to "save face".
There's one story in that book where the actual murderer came in to the police station AND CONFESSED with details that only he could have known, because he felt guilty about the wrong person being tried for the murder...and prosecution continued on the innocent person, while the actual murderer was ignored.
It's an enraging read. I actually had to put it down a few times, because I was so frustrated.
And, of course, as bad as it is that these innocent people are being prosecuted (and some even executed), another problem is that the actual murderer is still roaming free...and many of these crimes are now unsolved, because the police were so focused on the innocent person that they ignored everything else.
Who is actually creating a legitimate Facebook account at this point?
I moderate a few groups on Facebook, and every account I see for new members that was created within the last few years is a spammer. The people who wanted Facebook accounts already have them. Very very few actual human beings are signing up for new legitimate accounts at this point.
Facebook should just close the new account option. They're working toward AIs talking to each other and won't need human interaction any more anyway.
Sounds good. My brother is an originalist, but I'm more of a modern guy. I have an old Cannondale 2.8 frame that he built up for me in the late 90s, and it has 8 speed 105. I've threatened a few times to upgrade it, possibly using the SRAM setup with wireless shifting and rim brakes. I think it would disappoint him. Of course, it would require new wheels as well.
But as a practical matter, those 8 speed parts aren't going to last forever, either. I think the rear derailleur spring that holds the chain in tension is a bit tired already, for example. And it's not like I can buy a new 105 8 speed derailleur; I can get a used one but that's just as old. (I use the bike on a smart trainer on Zwift. What I really should do is upgrade to one of the trainers that doesn't require physically shifting.)
A friend of mine has that condition where she can't visualize things. I wonder how she would like this comic. My guess is she'd crack a joke about it being a good thing she can't do this.
Nice! I'm surprised that it has the correct wheel spacing for 11 speed.
Those were steel, right? I can't remember.
My wife picked up this puck at the Hockey Hall of Fame last week. I think there's something odd about Gritty...she disagrees. Not saying what it is so as not to bias you. I'd like to get a ruling from the internet on this, please!
