IMO, it’s more a consequence of a black & white morality. Nuance isn’t even a blip on the radar. I guarantee they aren’t considering the ramifications, and wouldn’t understand them if explained.
I find it fascinating how there are so many high profile POIs in that list. Like, specifically that they’re high profile and not from the same line of work.
If you’re working in Hollywood, you’d expect to know stars, but only incidentally politicians. If you’re in DC, the reverse is true.
Damn! It’s Aaron Waltke himself! Will do my part good sir! 🫡
Hmm… the issue with a smaller Switch invariably means a smaller battery. Also, the Joycons are quite small as it is.
It’ll probably sell, as Switches are wont to do, but I wouldn’t see myself in the market for one, were I in the market for a new Switch,
The handbook covers a lot of essential ground for new crewmembers ranging from the senior crew, the different divisions and shifts, tech, guide to other species, as well as different scenarios laid out by Badgey. What was your favorite part to tackle?
Chris Farnell: So many candidates here. Shaxs’ "W.O.R.F." method, the poolside rules for Cetacean Ops, and the (not entirely reliable) history of ships to bear the name "Cerritos." Like any sensible person given access to a starship, my first question was "What can I get away with?" and the answer was "A frightening amount”
I had already preordered this months ago. And I have less than no regrets.
Safari is a very thin wrapper around the WebKit rendering engine. Oversimplifying, but it basically only handles bookmarks and tabs. The actual webpage is handled with WebKit and all web browsers on iOS use WebKit.
So if Safari is acting slow, then you can presume that all browsers on iOS would act slow in those same situations.
In practice though, Safari/webkit slowdown tends to be one of two things:
-
Poorly designed website: Think tons of trackers, ads, and analytics that bog down the website for no benefit to the user.
-
Browser Extension issues:
Some extensions can speed up websites, mostly in the form of blockers than prevent unnecessary resources from loading in the first place…
On the other end of the spectrum, there are extensions that slow websites down that need to read and inject content into the source. It may be prudent to examine your extensions and see if there are conflicts.
Glad to see this show sprouting on another platform. Easily the most underrated Trek of the new era.
My problem with ship designs in general, canon and not, is that they all tend to be so flat. Like… vertically speaking. Flat.
I doubt it…
Someone dying in an Apple car isn’t the sort of headline they would embrace.
It’s also why Apple doesn’t run their own MVNO—better for a carrier to take the fall for phone issues; and let Goldman Sachs handle the banking.
I don’t see Apple doing their own car unless they feel like big auto is holding them back… like how Intel’s lack of momentum prompted the semi-recent processor transition.
Right now, CarPlay is not doing outstanding—GM in particular is flicking a big middle finger—but it is certainly reaching more customers right now than if Apple did their own car.
Wait… how does that work?
If our searches fund trees, then our searches have to be making them money… and I’m not aware of many advertisers that respect privacy.
I guess I’ll bite the bullet and kick off the Tuvix debate.
Tuvix isn’t the first Trek episode to involve transporter hybrids, and it wasn’t the last; but it stands out amongst the Trek fandom and cemented Janeway as a ruthless executioner.
I maintain that the only reason it’s controversial is because Tuvix was more loved than the sum of his parts.
I personally like Neelix, but it’s undeniable that he’s a contender for one of the least popular main characters in the franchise, and certainly the least favorite on Voyager.
Tim Russ is an amazing actor, but Tuvok is a very subtle character. If you pay attention to him, he’s funny and insightful. But if you don’t focus on him, you can forget he exists.
So, by replacing a despised character and a forgettable character with an outstanding character, you’re left with an audience who has no attachment to the status quo.
If, instead, “Tuvix” was built with popular characters, like Janeway, the EMH, or Seven, the audience would have no qualms about a return to the status quo—or at least not nearly to the degree we’ve seen over the years.

The transporter meat blob was dismissed as non-sentient by Tendi, but it clearly had all the intact personalities of its components. Without further analysis can we be certain of that assessment? Why not send it to The Farm™️?
If we come to the ethical conclusion that the transporter meat blob’s very existence was suffering, why restore the transporter patterns to their components rather than their Tuvix’d counterparts? The simplest answer is that they’re more trouble than they’re worth.
No one cares about the meat blob.
No one cares about T’Ilups and co.
Everyone cares about Tuvix.
We let our attachments dictate our ethics then use logic and evidence to justify them.
