Interesting. Always thought chewing gum was more like when you made “plastic” out of the caesin in milk.

Urine probably also helps flush things out too, so you don’t need to deal with as many infections from bacteria who also want a share of the nutrient slime gametes get.

And more proof is always useful. Science runs on it.

Sort of? Someone was editing his face to be more round and babylike. This was one of them.

On the bright side, the camera/Switch doesn’t use a proprietary connector, so you can plug a lot of cameras into the thing, and it will generally work.

It’s not like the DS days, where if you wanted to plug a microphone in in addition to your headphones, they had a special connector for the mic part.

G - gumanities

Or as we like to call it, GNU/Gumanities.

Other animals get zoomies too.

You can get them fresh from the factory. Sure, they need 96 batteries each, but beats all that nasty wood and bugs.

As is the lack of the shower cleaning itself and getting rid of the tiny bits that you missed along the way when you’re basically done.

That implies that Britain didn’t intend those consequences. But Britain has mastered using starvation as a weapon of genocide, in particular by masking it as an “unfortunate” result of taxes and tariffs.

We do know that the British did try and get the Irish to renounce their heritage to receive aid during the famine as well. Some families had to renounce their Irish name and Catholicism before they would be given food during the famine.

:x is also an alternative to save and quit.

Equally valid for the facial expression you’d make upon finding that out.

Only sometimes. Other times, you want to add extra entropy, so you can have a nice hot dinner.

Both, of course.

Cloudflare’s is a corporate solution from the company that man-in-the-middles half the internet and makes me click shit every fucking time. I see it whenever I make the mistake of following a stackoverflow link.

It is also not very useful if you don’t use a PC. Every time I look up a Cloudflare-gated site on my iPad, I usually have to jump through a few captchas before it will let me in, if it doesn’t decide to be a grump and decide to put you in a sisyphean cycle of captchas, constantly refreshing without end.

Or if you use some software. I have citation software that gets stuck in the loop because Elsevier puts their journals behind a Cloudflare wall, and when it pops up the prompt to prove you’re not a bot, just refreshes straight into another prompt.

I think a traditional “shuttle” wouldn’t be up to the task - you’d want a vessel with bunks and space to walk around, at the very least.

They can probably do it in a pinch. In Relics, Scotty is given a shuttle to roam around in, and it’s doubtful that the Enterprise would have given him one if it was something that would only be capable of short-range operation.

But normally, I’d imagine that you’d just rendezvous with a starship, who would take you the rest of the way, with or without the shuttle, which would get close enough, and then you’d either have another ship, or use another shuttle to get you the rest of the way.

Sort of like a car using a ferry.

EDIT: Is the Federation even adhering to the warp five speed limit anymore? I know it doesn’t get addressed after “Force of Nature”, but is there anything suggesting that the speed limit has been dropped completely by the 25th century?

Nothing explicit, though there’s behind-the-scenes materials. The nacelles on the Intrepid-class were designed to mitigate that for example, but that never made it on-screen.

On-screen, we just know that warp engines didn’t significantly change, and that the Enterprise was able to exceed those speeds after a bit, so it was presumably fixed behind the scenes.

Plus the fault with the multitronic computer wasn’t really the multitronic mechanism that operated it. It was that Daystrom stuffed his neural engrams into it to try and make it sapient, which caused everything to go wrong, probably because it was loaded with everything in his head, including his desperation to make the multitronic computer work, and paranoia about his peers. A multitronic unit loaded with LCARS might not be that revolutionary, but would not have gone homicidal.

Though we never saw it get advanced into a whole computer system on its own, they did seem to get used for some things that needed mind-like complexity. Holograms use multitronics as part of the matrix, for example. So Daystrom might have been onto something, but was too obsessed in creating something that could supersede duotronics to properly explore the thing.

Especially when the person taking them literally mentions that they are prescribed.

It’s completely different than the street drug “meth”. The only similarity is the methyl-5 ingredient, which is a molecule that our body naturally synthesizes continuously.

Slightly surprised it hasn’t spawned a factoid that claims the body makes meth/is full of it.
