I dont know if this is ever established in canon, but my theory is this is what allows the Borg to travel nearly instantaneously. Their transwarp corridors allow them to compress the infinite possibilities down to finite paths, and they're limited only by where they have established transwarp exit nodes. Otherwise they'd go all salamander-ey everytime they used transwarp.

The problem is that some people have wildly differing ideas on what counts as "just politics". As an example, the doctor brings up the question "would a pride flag be banned if it make a homophobic person uncomfortable?". To the homophobe, gender identity is "just politics". To the gay/trans/etc person it very much is not politics.

being able to self-destruct with the precision to either act as a flashbang OR destroy an entire ship somehow.

Humans today are like 300% more biomass than every mammal on earth 100,000 years ago.

Yup, just got my dual diagnosis at 40. In the US you couldn't even have a dual diagnosis until like 10 years ago. It doesn't change my day to day much but it does make me feel better about failing when trying ADHD coping mechanics that just aren't made for me. Now I can look for specific strategies.

The extent of the setup for Plex is to log in with your email and password, pick which shared libraries you want to be pinned to your home screen, and then browse. My parents in their 70s were able to figure it out and all I had to do from my end was grant them access to the libraries I wanted to share with a simple check box.

Securely sharing is simpler on Plex. I can invite anyone with just an email and they have near instant access to an HTTPS-encrypted service. I don't have to deal with setting up a VPN, reverse proxy or ACLs (in the case of something like Tailscale).

I found this channel recently and it had me in absolute stitches for a good hour.

 

I really thought biocomputers were just the realm of sci-fi. How long til we get bio-neural gel packs I wonder?

 

Sorry Wash! Also, this was the crossover I didn't know I needed.

 

Inspired by a comment I saw earlier calling it the "Prime Suggestion".
