I'm pretty sure this is what it looks like if you ask a room full of boomers to dab.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

This is probably what it would look like if my late gen X ass ever were to dab.
You are my favorite person for the day
It's not LED tech that's the issue. The real issue is they don't sell "standard brightness" LEDs
Nor is there much in the way of standard height or direction. As cars keep getting taller, those of us not in the Child Crusher 350 or whatever are getting blinded by tall headlights & those that don't point down enough.
There very much needs to be significant standardization & enforcement on off-standard kit jobs.
Drove past a 90's truck the other day that was lifted and had LED replacements on stock headlamps. Shit should be illegal IMO
It is illegal
If it is not enforced, it's not illegal. Kinda like the speed limit in Canada, ya can drive 20kph over the speed limit and not get pulled over. Shit people on the 401 regularly do 140 when the limit is 100 and when ya do 140 people still pass you
You can’t pass inspection with aftermarket LEDs
Yet I've known people who have gotten "inspections" on vehicles that are falling apart and still passed. So that's another moot point. Sorry man
Dunno what else you want lol. Go around with a baseball bat if you think nothing in the legal system works.
I had to replace my LEDs on my wrangler because of inspection, so it does work.
I want headlights that don t blind me for 5 min at a time. That's it, our current system of being able to do what you want to your vehicle is a blessing and a curse rolled up in one.
Exactly this I have led headlights on my car but they're way dimmer than most of these bright ass blue LEDs people have on their trucks lmao
Yeah but I always buy my headlights out of a ferengi's shuttle bay that is parked behind Qark's. Don't have to worry about any of those pesky federation regulations.
I do wonder what mine look like to other traffic. They are extremely bright but also have a very sharp cutoff line that’s supposed to keep them from blinding other drivers.
Turn on your headlights. Stand in front of your car about 30 feet away. Do your eyes hurt?
If so, fuck you.
First, no. Secondly, fuck the manufacturer. This is no conversion, no lifted bro-dozer, just a car, a new car that should comply with all current regulations … with really bright headlights
The Enterprise just needs a blue light filter. And has for a while.
LED is fine when done properly.
Headlight check needs to be bundled with emissions check. High beams need to be automatically disabled when oncoming headlights are detected by default.
They kind of are... Toyota has that. Except it does nothing for pedestrians, cross traffic, same-direction traffic, etc.
They definitely inspect headlight alignment in places where cars have to be regularly inspected to be roadworthy. The police will also write you up for improper headlight setup.
I'm quite sure they didn't in the three states where I had emissions inspections.
They checked for emissions but not for;
Identification: Verification of the vehicle's identification number (VIN) and registration details.
Lights and Signals: Headlights, indicators, brake lights, reversing lights, fog lights, and hazard lights are checked for functionality.
Brakes: Inspection of brake pads, discs, drums, brake lines, and brake fluid levels.
Tires and Wheels: Tread depth, condition, pressure, and wheel alignment are examined.
Suspension and Steering: Shock absorbers, struts, springs, ball joints, tie rods, and steering components are inspected.
Exhaust System: Assessment of exhaust emissions and checking for leaks, corrosion, and proper attachment.
Chassis: Examination for rust, damage, and structural integrity of the vehicle's chassis and underbody.
Bodywork: Inspection for dents, scratches, rust, and other damage to the vehicle's exterior.
Windows and Mirrors: Windshield condition, visibility, and functionality of mirrors are assessed.
Safety Equipment: Seatbelts, airbags, child restraint systems, and other safety features are checked for proper functioning.
Engine: Evaluation of engine performance, fluid levels, leaks, and any abnormal noises or vibrations.
Transmission and Drivetrain: Inspection of transmission fluid, clutch (if manual), driveshafts, CV joints, and differential.
Electrical System: Battery condition, wiring, fuses, alternator, and starter motor are examined.
Fuel System: Fuel lines, tank, pump, and fuel cap are inspected for leaks and proper functioning.
Wipers and Washers: Windshield wipers and washer fluid system are tested for functionality.
Interior: Dashboard lights, controls, instruments, seats, and interior lights are checked.
Additional Equipment: Assessment of any additional equipment or modifications installed on the vehicle

I took a diode yesterday and didn't feel anything
Mr. Chekov just start shooting, they asked for it
"We're under heavy photon fire!"
Sorry, Captain, they didn't show my gun in the first act.
Yes
