When you consider that the bridge is on the top and center of the saucer section and a very enticing target the constant explosions make a bit of sense. It’s not that the enterprise got shot in the ass and it sent a current up to the computer that monitors shift rotations, no the high powered energy weaponry is aimed right on the other side of the wall. Structural integrity fields, shields, ablative armor, and other technobabble keep the the whole bridge from popping like a balloon when something bad happens.
It’s like if your tv is plugged into a house with breakers and safely on a surge protector it’s not going to keep your tv from getting fried if zeus decides to target that outlet specifically and strike it.
You can absolutely get sick from ingesting your own waste. There’s plenty of flora and pathogens that exist and live in your gut that can cause problems if you ingest it orally.
After all we all have e coli and breakouts do still happen.
Ah that makes a lot of sense. I was wondering how the Adirondacks in NY and northern Vermont are “Urban Commercial housing” and north eastern tip of Ohio is maple syrup.
It’s possible to remove DRM from books using software like calibre and thats not even getting into how easy it is to pirate due to the small filesize if you ever need to recover a lost book. Then you can back it up and copy onto other storage devices and the cloud which in some ways makes the digital copy more long lasting than a physical book.
This is the same for me. I love the tactile feeling of books, I love the smell, the weight, the aesthetic and the idea.
They take up so much space though and that can make them a hassle to access. I also like to read in bed which means I need something that can make it’s own light, and I like the versatility digital books have in font size and in the case. Especially as a comic reader where you have weekly and monthly issues or chunky volumes it adds up quickly.
Eh I understand the long term apathy and eventual giving up.
They cant keep winning votes by just not being republicans. They will always not be republicans and eventually people are going to want more out of them.
Ah this makes more sense! I was wondering how OP was using tiktok for a todo list
I didnt care for it at first. It was a long road getting from there to here. It was a long time. But the song’s time is finally here. You’re not going to hold it down no more. You’re not going to hold it down.
mangasee is pretty solid and usually has higher quality than average uploads.
It was a very controversial choice at the time too. It’s kind of funny how the internet has cooled off on the intro, in some cases even warmed up to it, but back in the day it got such a spicy reception.
Sometimes an idea can be so dumb, it comes back around again as GENIUS. Congratulations.
In our country we respect halloween. And then steamroll over thanksgiving because theres already christmas stuff up
I imagine this is more of a “what do you wish existed here” not a “we should immediately make these instances so that they sit in the dark with 3 subscribers until the site grows more”
Ah yeah bench pressing without a spot is tricky.
Just buy a camera. Searching for consensus on this you’ll find people online telling you “well who needs a point and shoot, modern cameras are good enough, the camera you have is better than the good camera you leave at home” and etc, but for under $500 you can get a used or even new decent point and portable digital camera(similar form factor to what everyone had in the early to mid 00s) and it will fit in your pocket, bag, around neck and mop the floor with any cell phone camera when photographing anything you have to zoom in on.
Depending on what you buy you’ll of course have more of a learning curve compared to the ai, but it wont have that over sharpened ai enhanced oil painting look that phone cameras give you when you zoom in a little, and yes the results can be much better. You can take snapshots with fast shutter of birds in flight, stop a helicopters blades, capture precipitation, and of course zoom in a little into things that the cell phone camera would poop itself trying to capture.
Plus if you just want to sync data there are already plenty of cloud based and data syncing services that can fulfill that without needing a phone laptop.
That said with USB C based devices in theory you should be able to use use an adapter in order to plug in an hdmi, and mouse and keyboard(or use a bluetuth one)
Ah man it’s depressing watching the fall of google. From my gmail beta account which was incredible to do no evil, google are great, theyre open, to so many cancelled projects replaced by similar ones(ehem chats and video chats) and so much bad behavior with their ads.
The enterprise c did have a battle bridge that they used mostly for saucer separations, but there were times when they used it saucer in place and there are some ships which have more protected configurations.
Disregarding the IRL reasons of that’s just where it always goes, I believe the in universe reason is that starfleet at its core does not like to identify as a true military organization. It’s why the enterprise C is built like a cruise ship and why despite being a swift science vessel voyager is also very spacious and sleek and elegant on the inside. They do make plenty of starships that are top in class and capable of holding their own against anything else out there, but starfleet is not in the business of making warships. They overtly mention this in DS9 when it is mentioned that the Defiant is officially an “escort vessel” even though it is a very no frills combat vessel.
Of course they can get away with this concession because generally the shields do most of the work when it comes to absorbing hits anyway. Once shields are down if another vessel wants to go for the kill it wont take long for it to tear through the hull. In theory the centralized location also means that the bridge can get additional protection by tilting the saucer away from the enemy(sorry lower decks).
