In VOY S1E05 "Phage", Neelix's lungs are stolen by the Vidiians, and The Doctor creates a set of holographic lungs operated by the holo emitters installed in sickbay.

The procedure is successful, but due to technical limitations, that places two very heavy restrictions on Neelix:

1. He has to have his movement completely restrained as the computer cannot compensate quickly enough to keep the holo-lungs in alignment with his internal physilogy
2. Like The Doctor, he cannot leave sickbay even if the computer could process fast enough to keep his holographic lungs aligned

Potentially, Neelix could also be transported to the holodeck with his holo-lungs intact, but given its frequent malfunctions, it may not be a wise action unless there's no other alternative. He would also still need to be restrained to keep the lungs in place.

The mobile emitter, though introduced two seasons later in Season 3's "Future Tense", might alleviate both of those restrictions and have applications in field medicine and other emergency care.

Being 29th century technology, it may very well be fast and responsive enough to keep the holographic organs aligned with the body's nervous, respiratory, and circulatory systems without requring the patient to be immobilized. Additionally, it would give the patient unrestricted mobility without confining them to a location equipped with holo emitters.

Given that by the time of PIC in 2401 the mobile emitter has been reverse engineered and reproduced, it would be logical to explore its application as an emergency organ transplant given that the procedure was successfully proven by the crew of Voyager.

If we ever want a Star Trek horror series, boy do I have a plot line for you.

Not my OC

Weather's dull, right??

It's currently 72 degrees with a high of only 82 in the middle of July. Humidity is a comfortable 76%. Sun is shining, not a cloud in the sky, I don't foresee having to run the A/C at all today, and my house's PV system has been getting a great charge all morning.

This sure beats the 99 degree days with 99% humidity and heavy clouds last week.

My only complaint is I don't have today off work.

Not a large fee. Just something like the local equivalent of $10 USD.

The deposit sits in escrow during a probationary period while the new account holder has to prove they're here with good intentions. If the account starts spamming, advertising, trolling, or plugging their slop-coded garbage, they get banned and forfeit the deposit to the instance they signed up with. If they interact in good faith for the "probationary" period without showing signs of being an LLM bot / gaming the system / "karma farming", the deposit gets refunded in full and they exit the probationary period.

If they don't interact enough to prove their intentions here a good, the deposit still gets refunded in full but the account gets banned.

This would virtually eliminate drive-by spam and trolls while also funding instances and encouraging positive engagement.

Is it feasible? Probably not. Is this an idea likely to be popular? Nope, otherwise I wouldn't be posting it here. Do I think this is a good idea? Yep.

Yes, it was, in fact, a Unix system.

Everything in the set was real. We couldn’t fake any of it, because audiences are so sophisticated now in their knowledge of computers. All told, $875,000 worth of computer hardware loaned by Silicon Graphics, $350,000 worth from Apple and some $500,000 in additional hardware and software went into equipping both the set and off-stage control room.
