HD DAD posted:I mean, ships typically use their sensors (which can be fooled) even if they are within visual range to render an image on screen. Using a drat window seems to be a lost art in the future. One of the only good ideas in the Discovery pilot, Michael thwarting a sensor scrambling array with a normal telescope

Yes, it was the use of a similar idea in Discovery nearly two decades later that made them stop using using them after one episode of Deep Space Nine in 1997.

This appendage may appear similar to a sagging old man’s chin, but in actuality it contains the additional neural network structure required for me to function on a level similar to the Android you previously knew as “Data”.

Drink-Mix Man posted:I saw one of those screenings in Arizona and he made several references to #meetoo, seemingly having no understanding of what it actually was. He kept talking about it as if it was just a girl power sort if thing and it was kind of awkward because he seemed to be unaware it had to do with rape. He's salty as gently caress because he refused to give someone an autograph and they mentioned him in a #metoo tweet, apparantly. I can't find any proof.

They are used in ground level construction on class M planets, given who wanted to buy them in DS9. I figure it's an ordinary bolt that once you tighten all the way it releases a sealant making it impossible to unscrew. Unless you have a reverse ratcheting rotor.

Brawnfire posted:This makes it look like something you'd stick in a gap between two holes in two stationary plates, and the bolts extend outwards into the holes... Yeah, it's this. Then when they are in the holes, the end of each protrusion seals itself into the hole somehow, locking the two plates together.

Oh I got it backwards, I thought it was the plot of you've got mail and she hosed Tom Hanks. She was Tom Hanks. Anyway all this to say I want to host a podcast with someone who has never watched any star trek and make them watch it in true chronological order
