As soon as you create another Tuvix copy that does not survive.

You’re still killing a Tuvix.

No, because they’re not in thr pattern buffer anymore.

Well, from my experience as a european big city dweller, that is not a behavior exclusive to areas with low walkability. Which is what lead me to my point.

Fear engineered O’Brien.

Yes, I know that. However, that is not really about my point. I doubt that “door-to-door” comfortability is a main selling point for cars because I personally know some and have heart from even more people who put more effort in driving and parking cars than it would take to go the same ways by (e-)bike, scooter or public transport. That may result in searching a longer time for parking spots that it would to get to the next station, walking further to or from a parked car than to a station, spending more time in traffic jams than it would to travel by other means of transportation, defrosting windows and removing snow during winter, paying huge amounts for parking spots etc pp.
That does not mean that there are no people for whom “door-to-door” is a factor or that all people live well connected to public transport or bikeway infrastructure (especially outside of european cities), it just means that there are too many people putting in efforts to go by car that would be unnecessary if they chose another method to go from A to B for me to accept that “door-to-door” is a main factor when deciding the means of transportaition.
Or in other words: I think many people would still choose a car if they had a bus stop in front of their home and the bus line had a stop in front of their workplace.

Dunno, here in Germany, the cities’ outskirts are usually kinda well connected, too. And even in the suburban village I grew up in, it took you at max ten minutes by bike to get to the train station. Nowadays with e-scooters you don’t even have to use your muscles for that part either.

I’m not sure that door-to-door thing really is a main selling point. I know people who walk to their car farther than to the next public transport station and complain about seeking longer for parking spots than it would take them to walk to the station or from the station to their workplace.

I’ll watch it because I love trek and even bad trek is more trek.

That is just… Not a smart thing to do. Just mindlessly consuming stuff that’s bad because it’s part of a franchise you like leads to more bad media of that franchise being published. Be critical! Be brave enough to draw a line and keep it!

There’s also this picture:

I guess we’re talking only about the movies (since the twelve tasks doesn’t exist as a comic book), so I’d argue Asterix in Britain is up there as well. Also Mansions of the Gods was really good, if you can see past the unusual and experimental art style.

I wonder if he had that idea before or after Patrick Stewart was cast as Picard.

After/during the casting process. Originally, Gene Roddenberry didn’t want a bald actor to play Picard, becausr in his opinion there should be a cure to male pattern baldness in the future. Stewart was even asked to bring a hair piece for the audition. However, Roddenberry was talked out of it by basically everyone else with any responsibility in the casting process (partly because Stewart looked somewhat cursed with a hairpiece).

No kinkshaming pls.

Quark is a dairy product of soured milk with added lactic acid bacteria and strained. It is popular in baltic, germanic and slavic cuisine.

There’s not much actual sience behind the technobabbel of Star Trek tbh. It’s just as much of a magic system as the force is.

Yes because nobody was smart enough to horde all power and money and deny anybody else from changing things.

We don’t know enough of the world of Idiocracy to draw such conclusions. We don’t know who owns that giant store, the TV stations or the appartment buildings.

And yet they pick the smartest guy around to solve the problem.

Really? When was tge last time our leaders were like “We have a problem, let’s listen to what the actually smart people have to say and act on that”?

This is not supposed to be a blame game or a pissing contest. That both Europe and the US have a track record of xenophobia and racism is exactly my point.

And in the US it wasn’t? Set aside how non-whites were treated and exploited as cheap labor, how were asians treated during and after WWII, Korea, Vietnam? How are latin americans treated? How are middle eastern people treated since 9/11?

Don’t make the mistake believing this is new. It’s just getting turned up to eleven.
