That's absolutely a stack of tool boxes and crates.

Post-scarcity society that can turn energy into matter and engineers will STILL stack random shit in the lab instead of making a proper mount.

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 46 points 1 year ago

Extra funny since they could just replicate the perfect mount just as easily

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

He could but Geordi knows if he starts down that path he'll spend all day picking the right texture and infill pattern.

[-] lime@feddit.nu 15 points 1 year ago

it's more fun that way, get off my ass!

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

It's actually a plastic cart, those solid looking parts are drawers, that I believe swing out. My parents have one in black, coincidentally. I've noticed it a couple times.

[-] nnullzz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Looks like Festool tool carts

[-] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 66 points 1 year ago

Not as severe as this, but I always found it uncomfortable that the patients in medical have no privacy what so ever.

[-] boreengreen@lemm.ee 38 points 1 year ago

Sometimes they get a glittery blanket to hide under.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 19 points 1 year ago

Fun fact: those blankets are made from the skins of Twilight vampires

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Also fun fact: Start Trek cannon for TNG says there are dolphins in the enterprise that have some critical function for ship operations. I think they're supposed to be evolved and sentient or something like that.

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 year ago

You should watch Lower Decks.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Do you think they know the dolphins from SeaQuest DSV?

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And are any of them descendants of Flipper?

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

That multi-purpose glitter fabric tho, omg, I always hated it so much.

[-] PlainSimpleGarak@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago

"I'm cold"

"here, use this glitter blanket"

"the fuck?"

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

"I needed a picnic blanket"

"here, use this thinn glitter blanket"

"the fuck?"

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

"This is really thin and uncomfortable."

"Yeah, but it's all, like, futuristic and shit!"

[-] PlainSimpleGarak@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago

Dr. Phlox knew how to take care of his patients.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

Look boys, a space anomaly! Wow. Never seen anything like it. Let's drive our spaceship full of families and children right into it! Probes? No no no no. The whole ship!

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 year ago

The same place they tested that completely unknown device that exploded lightning and nearly killed Data. So the next step they took was recreating the condtions and making it explode again to zap Data because he enjoyed the feeling of a near death experience.

[-] AngryishHumanoid@reddthat.com 29 points 1 year ago

Look it's fine, they pointed it AWAY from the warp core, what more do you want?

[-] criitz@reddthat.com 12 points 1 year ago

It's either pointed directly at the warp core OR directly at Data's chest

[-] errer@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Data’s prolly into that shit

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That's how he learns to dream

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Should we stand directly behind the tests? Should we do this in the cargo bay? Should we be behind some sort of protective screen?

All questions Geordie did not ask.

Also looks like the devices are just sat on top of boxes.

[-] Trollception@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Where did they get those boxes. I've never seen them on the show before.

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely moving boxes. Probably geordies own. Hasn’t unpacked yet 😆

[-] sumguyonline@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

But they used a level 9 containment shield! Klavin! The shuttle bay would have been a smarter choice but that warp coil mock up cost a LOT of money and they were damn well using it!

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

It's a lot worse than just next to the warp core too. It's pointed directly at it and there is absolutely no backstop to that tiny target save for the core itself.

[-] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

You've got it backwards. The phaser's pointed directly away from the warp core, so the safest possible direction. Geordie's at the phaser end, and Data's the one relying on a tiny little target getting hit and using his own body as a backstop.

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 year ago

What could go wrong? It's not like inertial dampeners ever stop working. People never get shaken around or thrown out of their chairs.

Shit's stable.

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Only one crisis per episode please. Thank you, universe

Science doesn't progress without a few hiccups along the way.

[-] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

To be fair, the warp core is heavily shielded. That's still pretty wild though.

[-] purplemonkeymad@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Is it me or does the boxes holding the phaser look like a printer?

[-] Maultasche@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Wasn't Geordie brainwashed by Romulans at that time?

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

True.
That's why he behaved extra normal.

Did we ever found out which of the Romulans had that affair with him (that supposedly happened on Risa)? I bet the brainwash tech only went so far & someone had to do the rest manually.

And with scanning equipment everywhere around, the thing itself was brought aboard particle by particle via the transporter.

Every so often a scene like this shows up to ruin my competency porn.
