Will SNW (or any future Trek) Retcon Mojave, California? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 minutes ago (1 children)

Pretty sure TNG and some of the ST movies mentioned weather controls. And there have been many mentions of terraforming entire planets.

So I doubt Mojave would get retconned.

How low will Tesla stock have to get before the banks call in their loans to Elon?

And stay in circulation for sixty years evidently. I’d say we got our money’s worth.

What was different in the 1970s that helped independent films thrive?

Follow up: WiiU retail price

  • Price at launch: $300
  • Price adjusted for inflation: $336

Original Switch:

  • Price at launch: $300
  • Price adjusted for inflation: $316

Honestly, I think anything over $325 is too expensive for this. It’s just an iteration of the previous model. It will be interesting to see what happens after the early adopters grab the initial shipments (how much will price go down, will sales drop precipitously if price does not go down enough?).

(Also, how depressing is it that the price of things has doubled in just 20 years?)

I’m not seeing any log in required at daily beast. Maybe the OP didn’t either? Could be some sort of cookie-based limit on number of free stories.

Reader mode in the browser also appears to work.

Looks like TX Lege is chipping away at height and view restrictions so UT can build baby build.

“50 billion” to bury power lines (lemmy.world)
 

This has to be the biggest batch of bullshit excuses I have ever heard. Gas, water, and sewer are all buried, but somehow burying electrical is “impossible”.

(Spoilers) What is up with the captain blaming Tripp for someone’s suicide?He made someone happy, then they went back to their shitty life and killed themselves — and that’s Tripo’s fault? Maybe the captain should have given the character asylum and then they wouldn’t have committed suicide, but instead he throws a hissy fit and blames Tripp. What a bizarre coda to an otherwise interesting episode.

Warp field debris question (lemmy.world)
 

In ENT episode “Divergence” parts go flying off the ship during warp 5. What would happen to something at that speed without the protection of the field? Would it stay in high speed motion until interacted upon by something else (meteoroids/dust/gravitational fields)? Or would it disintegrate under this kind of speed?

What are your Star Trek nit-picks? (lemmy.world)
 

What immediately bugs you when watching an episode? Mine is when they transport someone sitting down and they reintegrate in a standing position (or vice versa). Sure, the tech is near magical but my suspension of disbelief pretty much snaps when they do this.

And why do they look suspiciously like the shapeshifters from DS9?

What ever happened to the creepy people from TNG “Conspiracy”? (lemmy.world)

Recently watched a YouTube video where they mentioned the grub-eating Starfleet creeps with the exploding heads were supposed to be the precursor to the Borg invasion. But then the producers changed it up and decided the Borg would be the cube-riding mechanoids we’ve all come to know and love, instead of worm people.

I’m wondering if Trek ever fleshed out the conspiracy storyline on another show? Seems like a lot of potential wasted.

Thought this was interesting. You’d think fare payments would be a solved problem, but somehow Siemens managed to screw it up.

Hey Mr Heat Miser (lemmy.world)
 

The claymation video was probably the best part of the first episode. The Rankin Bass nod was fantastic.

For those of you that aren’t old enough to catch it…

“Hilariously, the video (which is narrated by Lumon's literal office building) doubles as a claymation recap of season 1—right down to a not-on-my-Severance-bingo-card reference to the Heat Miser in The Year Without a Santa Claus.”
