I’d argue that the ego stroking, power tripping, delisionality and willful ignorance all go together.

So you basically nailed it.

I don’t think I’d ever try it, given how the air currents would probably rip a viper to shreds.

But you can’t beat that cool factor.

I actually haven’t watched PIC or ST:A and I don’t think I will. The tones of the first episodes just don’t vibe with me, but I’m glad others enjoy them. I absolutely love SNW and LD. DISC is okay as an alternate universe starfleet, although I have my issues with certain things (like ship size… Oof)

I already want a more action-oriented dominion war era show, so I could get behind a concurrent medical drama on the front lines, crossover episode once or twice and all that.

I disagree that the main driving force of a medical show is lack of resources, as Grail said, HOUSE, MD is a good example of. Also I have seen a bit of early Grey’s anatomy and I didn’t notice lack of resources. But also as gedfromgont said, a Voyager type show where they’re cut off from starfleet would totally work to keep their resources limited. Make it a medical ship or station, and you’re set! Give them that “year of hell” feeling from Voyager.

Galactica '03 is one of those shows I’d say is as perfect as can be.

I get all giddy every time I see them use inertia instead of “ww2 dogfighting but in space”.

As much fun as that might be, I think I’d rather see them climb the ladder and be mid-level officers. They still have to deal with senior officers but they also have a lot more responsibilities.

Lol that was my comment about Col. Carter.

I would absolutely love to see researchers with military and exploration experience getting their hands dirty with new tech.

I was thinking more “Middle Decks!” but essentially yes. Same vibes. Probably slightly less real alcohol than the usual LD gathering.

I want more lower Decks, but like… After a few years have passed. The main cast are still on the same ship (even if not the cerritos, but seeing them at slightly higher ranks with Ransom in command would be interesting) but I also think the show ended in a good place.

I REALLY want to see some TV-MA style section 31 show. Especially if we aren’t sure if the main cast are actually the bad guys or not. Anti-hero style, but like… Actual anti-hero, not “good guy but they swear” type.

Also I’m sure they could make a medical drama, although I doubt I’d watch it… Heck, set it on the USS Pasteur with an older Dr crusher in charge.

Ooh a more action-oriented show following a crew during the dominion war would be awesome.

And set up a 24/7 livestream following the crew of the Lower Decks in a Borg ship. I’m sure it would be riveting

Sadly we have yet to discover their more powerful relative, the Trebuchet Spider

A god? I don’t know anyone who doesn’t think he was an opportunist who owned slaves like most of the white colonial era land owning males. And opinions of “the founders” have only declined since I have been alive.

Gilgamesh and Enkidu would like a word.

It might devolve into a wrestling match with the end result being a polycule, but who am I to judge.

Life in space is hard. When your stomach contents are physically incapable of settling, getting sick to your stomach is easy. Going from a lot of a physically addictive substance to no physically addictive substance makes one unhappy. Tons of people justify their shitty attitudes on the morning by saying “you know not to talk to me before I’ve drank my physically addictive stimulant in a mug” and acting like that’s normal.

Anyone who thinks this man wasn’t deserving of being there over those things, I daresay would be just as miserable.

I’d be stoked for the sights and experience in general, but I’m not going to pretend it would all be roses and sunshine.

My plan is “I’ll probably be dead” but if not, I have enough parts to cobble together a solar charging station, and keep my laptop running for a few days between needing to let everything charge back up.

I have one off-site backup on an hdd inside a faraday bag and waterproof case that I back up once a week(ish) and after every project. I have local backups daily, one in a faraday box.

I have never once needed any of them and honestly if shit hit the fan hard enough, I will likely never be in a position where having backups for digital information will matter again. I’ll probably at most have my old phone/battery/solar charger combo that’s in a case in the garage, I keep a ton of survival references, maps, and things like that on it.

Does your country not have federal agents?

Just convert every biofuel field into a solar field. Boom, year round power output and way more efficient than growing plants to burn.

Then work on replacing every car with electric.

Eventually it will be more cost effective to retrofit old structures.

Even the worst, most pollution inducing motorcycle on the planet doesn’t hold a candle to my 90s truck.

Hell, even most modern trucks are better despite being massive, considering the improvements to fuel efficiency and such…

Arguing a motorcycle is worse because one specific area of its carbon footprint is slightly higher than cars depending on model of both is weird to me.

And I don’t remember the last time I saw a motorcycle without the obvious cat hugging the engine before it winds to the muffler. Note: usually the motorcycles I get to see close are people who are more environment conscious than your average redneck. I’m sure the shop down the road specializes in removing them. I KNOW they offer “diesel tuning services” to let people “roll coal” so it wouldn’t surprise me…

That’s okay, more for me!

They’re hard to kill and look interesting. (one of those is more important than the other lol)

I’ve been working on taking out the infestation around my parent’s house since 2017.

Its still going strong and when I moved away from the county last year they let it go wild, so now it’s all over the retaining wall for their driveway, crawling along the back wall of the garage under the siding, and I’ve even seen a leaf inside the house that I had to pull out of the vent.

I’ve decided if they didn’t care enough to work on it, I don’t care either. We’ll see how much damage it does this year.
