/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I worked digging ditches for pipe for a few summers during college for a private construction company. One time we were tying new pipe into an existing line and when the excavator exposed the old pipe it was really old cement and pretty much crumbled away. The water for that area had to be shut off, and since it was the city's pipe we had to wait for the city to fix it. A truck arrived at 5:00 on the dot (that's when you start getting time and a half if you work for the government) with like 5 dudes, and things unfolded kinda like in this picture. One of them went into the ditch and dug out the pipe a bit while the others stood around watching. Then he came out and another guy went in while the others watched.
I mean, good for them to have the union so they don't need to bust their asses constantly or whatever it was, but we couldn't go home until the water was back on so I ended up exhausted with an 18-hour day, and it feels like it didn't need to be quite that long.
