Is this a picture taken off a tv screen?

ETA: I’m not complaining, this place needs as much T’pol as it can get and this is a lovely template.

Good lord, is she always that stunningly pretty?

I've never watched more than a few episodes of Enterprise. Is it worth the investment? Is there a cut of it with that godforsaken theme song removed, or replaced with something more palatable like two dozen screaming goats?

[-] Haus@kbin.social 25 points 1 year ago

Love it or hate it, almost every Trek series has its eye-candy characters who keep us from revolting when the writers drop the ball. T'Pol did about as much heavy lifting in that department as Seven, and I'm pretty OK with that.

[-] Doug@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

I've said before that anyone who had an issue with Seven being added to sexy up Star Trek should take another look at the Yeoman uniforms in TOS or Deanna in a lot of TNG.

[-] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 1 year ago

I mean Deanna is by far my biggest issue with TNG

Never has the "skip intro" button received as much action as when I watched Enterprise.

[-] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Jolene Blalock? Yes. Watch Enterprise if you want to see her butt. :D

Hey, some of us are proud to have faith of the heart!

But I understand. There are fan edits on YouTube that use the credits theme (Archer's Theme) as the title theme and it works really well. You could do an audio swap on your own rips with an app like Handbrake.

And no one's gonna bend or break you

It does grow on you after a bit though

Enterprise is a TV adaptation of a children's Star Trek story that LeVar Burton read on Reading Rainbow.

I also liked it overall. But they did not spare the cheese.

Me upon seeing this particular meme, more then any other risa post: “i should really start watching star trek”

Like most Star Trek, the first couple seasons are a bit rough. The problem is they killed off Enterprise after only 4 seasons, meaning the ratio of good to bad isn't great. And the series finale is god awful. Still, I liked it more than Voyager.

[-] HardlightCereal@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

But 3 is the worst season. They should have ended it after 2.

[-] MarmaladeMermaid@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

I agree, once it gets to be all about the temporal Cold War it’s kind of bleh.

[-] Doug@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

I do like some time travel in my Star Trek.

I don't really want a little Star Trek in my time travel

Cold wind is slow-moving particles hitting you at high speed.

[-] MarmaladeMermaid@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I’m sorry, but THE WINDS I FEEL ARE ONLY WINDS OF CHANGE! 🎸🎶❤️

The winds of winter do move slowly...

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

So speedometers are just thermometers for cars?

[-] Silverseren@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They measure how hot the engine is. The more hot, the more vroom.

[-] netburnr@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Not if you run on methanol!

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Wait, you run on methanol? I just drink coffee

The more precisely momentum is known, the less precisely is its position known and vice versa. As for how temperature affects these measurements, the velocity of atoms and molecules isnt a sharp peak but a probability distribution whose maximum shifts toward higher velocities as the average temperature increases.

[-] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

IIUC extremely cold substances turn into so-called Bose-Einstein condensates because their temperature (hence speed) is so tightly controlled that their location becomes more "spread out" in terms of probability. And you can't fix its location without raising the temperature.

[-] xkforce@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Sort of. It has to do with certain matter (they have to be neutral bosons i.e particles with integer spin and no overall charge) being so cold that there arent really any higher energy quantum states for things to be in. So everything is essentially in the same state and functionally indistinguishable. Which is why not everything can form a bose einstein condesate.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

It is a combination, if the particles' positions don't overlap then you don't have a condensate, but at low enough energy and close proximity these particles will overlap

Never thought of it that way. So when I have a fever, my forehead is running faster than my feet
