  You dont really improve it, just added more units. Its about volume, not quality.

  Many years of indoctrination. When Google glass was introduced, it was just ‘a neat idea’. Now it’s a product, and therefore it’s clearly more trustworthy because someone is profiting from it. (/s)

  “Song”

  “While increased government spending sent inflation rising”

  Yes… that’s why companies decided to raise prices and never lower them… “the government”.

  Assisted a terrorist in almost blowing up the wormhole (against her wishes, mind).

  Went to rescue a ship of Bajoran prisoners only to bring back Gul Dukat’s daughter.

  Those are two more I can think of.

  Almost like social sites arent monolithic, and different people can be outraged by different things!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  placed by the government in the custody of the Picard family

  Is that something included in Picard? Cause it seems like a significant departure from the rest of the idea of the series. The government of the federation doesn’t allow people to do things at it’s whims, it facilitates people’s freedom to do what they want to better themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  His family has had vineyards for generations. Why wouldn’t they be allowed to? Space isnt exactly a luxury since they have dozens of worlds you can move to and have your own.

  Keep in mind the “Gay Space Communism” isnt the soviet dictatorship kind where everyone is allotted their resources and you’re only allowed to do what the state says. Its a post-scarcity world where people can follow passions and personal drive just because they want to. (As long as you learn calculus) Something explicitly stated multiple times in the series.

  They have the luxury of the philosophy of improving one’s self and the environment for others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Western Digital details 14-platter 3.5-inch HAMR HDD designs with 140 TB and beyond⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  14TB or 140TB? The later is what’s being talked about, so that’s more like 2800 movies. Which more than covers that 1000+ movie criteria.

  I’d imagine they were effectively banned, but not explicitly banned.

  I believe they reach adulthood in their mid to late thirties. Merry and Pippin are technically in the equivalent of their late teens when they head off with Frodo in FotR

  Water makes other water wet. If you have a single water molecule then it is not wet, as it has no other water to make it wet. Otherwise water, as a grouping of multiple adjacent molecules, makes itself wet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One out of ten Ferengis recommend Colgate⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly the only nu-trek show I’ve watched has been Prodigy. I even downloaded the first half of Discover season 1 back when it was airing, but never watched it. It just didn’t seem worth the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happend with the the new and old Borg after Picard season 2 and 3?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Odo (and I think someone else) do suggest reasons, like a virus or genetic engineering.

  How did Enterprise plot out the changes?

  Mind you, I’m not trying to imply that Enterprise didn’t have a unique and interesting storyline all its own. I think it did, but they absolutely followed in the footsteps of DS9s own homage.

  I think, in the Enterprise episodes, they implied that only a small population of Klingons underwent that change. So there would still be Klingons who appear as they did in TNG (and the movies) and beyond while allowing for the more human appearance of those in TOS. I dont know about Discovery, as I’ve not watched it, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happend with the the new and old Borg after Picard season 2 and 3?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically there was a throwaway comment in DS9 before the Enterprise episodes. I only mention it because they basically took the lines from that episode and combined them all into one story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix Becomes Max-Level Patron Of Blender's Development Fund⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this give them any actual control over Blender development or is it just one of many groups saying “We like what you’re doing, keep at it”?

  Not saying there isn’t the possibility of pressure because “If you don’t do what we want, we’ll pull our funding”… but again, if they’re just one of many patrons at that level (amongst many at a smaller level) so that’s not necessarily going to make that big a difference.

  Are there requirements for these programs? Or can they make it as onerous as possible to disincentivize usage of said program? (More rhetorical than anything)
