    About time to watch Sky Crawlers again.

    But there are people who do understand what she is saying in that scene, and if that is a large number of people then it's not just some weird 'blip' in TV history. It becomes something very notable, esp if it is turning up in other places as well.

    The thing is, there are any number of 'hand-wavium' explanations that could be used to 'fix' subspace. The Omega particle could have been a less powerful, artificially created version, keeping the damage repairable with time. (And some 800 years into the future, they could have written the Federation as having devolved into a despotic mirror of the Empire, that eventually destroyed itself while developing such a super weapon. A subplot then post season 3 of STD could have been to convince the old member planets that the resurgent Federation was of the earlier TOS/TNG variant.) They could also say that Discovery actually had the means to fix subspace. They had the Sphere data, which was apparently so important and comprehensive that they had to travel across time to keep Control from using it. The writers could have pulled a solution from that archive of data, and had one of Discovery's primary missions to be that of sealing up the ruptures in subspace, thus basically 'stitching' the Federation back together. (Of course, after arriving, reference to the Sphere data just seemed to vanish.) Or, by the time Discovery returned, most ships were using the slipstream drive anyway. IDK if it would suffer do to ruptured subspace, but visually they were already getting away from the standard Star Trek design layout, and could have left subspace damaged and just worked around it. But, I guess this is us just giving this more thought than the Discovery's writing team ever did.

    AI, but still better than a Hollywood adaption?

    Yeah, not surprised that involved the UK police though. That would be a lawsuit here in the States.

    I have always hated setting up a fresh Windows install. It takes forever before it's my computer again instead of A computer. We've just shifted the primary load from "install all the drivers so the hardware is minimally functional" to "change all the settings so Windows is minimally functional"

    I know. It doesn't even look like Ishtar either. I would stick with the 1990's made stuff.

    I’m trying to design joints for FDM 3D printing, and I was wondering what clearances you usually use. Do you adjust the offset depending on: the nozzle diameter the layer height the type of joint the filament For example, what clearance do you typically use between moving parts (hinges, ball joints, snap fits, etc.)? If possible, could you share the offsets you use in SolidWorks for all your moving parts? Thanks!

    Thanks. I hope I can stick the landing. 😬

    The size of the new version doesn't bother me too much; I have zero available display space as it is. I'm just a little put off by the sculpt of the new version's alt mode - specifically the trunk. Maybe I'll warm up to it if I see it on the shelf somewhere.

    Nice! No longer have to watch still pics to audio like a powerpoint presentation.

    We know NuTrek doesn't have the support of a team of science and technology fact-checkers the way golden age Star Trek did... but you'd think they'd at least have checked its Wiki page, consulted a chemistry textbook, or at least loaded up a NileRed video on YouTube. It's a lot easier to research these things now than it was 60 year ago when Star Trek was first being written. Seems like that the creative team knew juuuuuust enough to know that strontium is often mentioned around things like nuclear fuel waste and nuclear bombs and assumed that all strontium was the dangerous radioisotope strontium-90 that is occasionally used in RTEGs due to its short half-life. Naturally occurring strontium that you might dig up out of the ground is non-radioactive strontium-88. Pure strontium is reactive enough that it can be made pyrophoric when finely ground, but the danger level is more "mistaken for fireworks" than "mistaken for an attack". Assuming Nus Braka is telling the truth about his parents, for all practical intents and purposes his family likely accidentally blew themselves up when their homemade signal flare accidentally ignited the fireworks factory they lived and worked in. Either that or he told an embarrassingly easy-to-debunk fib.

    Done! Here’s a quick pic. Better photos in the completed section once I have my Photo Booth set up again.
