And ya being hypocritical having been absent for awhile, Clearly you have been if you think there's some sort of rule against profanity! I objected to the use of profanity… while swearing myself? :roll: Please re-read my post and rules on Israeli v Palestine. Full disclosure, I’ve flagged this thre...

I wonder how much rank and file Republicans actually want to burn the whole thing down, and how much they feel like they’re being held hostage by the extreme elements in their base? And How many Republican voters really want to burn the whole thing down? Is it a lot? Or are most simply voting becaus...

How much of that, if anything, is illegal?

Also, how intrusive are users finding it?

Is it something that stick out and is really annoying or just kind of there in the background?

Don’t really use social media, so I’m just curious lol

Come back here to say happy thanksgiving… and I’m immediately reminded why we banned Israel v Palestine threads :roll: shit went pear shaped by the second post. That's a new record, even for this place. Either of you all think you might share what you think was wrong about it? Apart from being a ba...

Discord is where you find the dick pics. So I've heard.

Well why didn’t you say so! Sign me up

Another variable is the nature of the ship’s shields/armour. For instance, as per the main site Star Trek shields seems to be made of some exotic particles surrounding the ship that are vibrating at whatever frequency they are set to. Apparently this makes them more vulnerable to gases/plasma (to th...

Wouldn’t be surprised if at some point your fridge and toaster will flat out refuse to work until you’ve activated an account and permanently connect them to wifi.

I don't think this film is going to change anyone's opinion on Avatar. If you hated the natives vs humans plot and naturism and writing of the first one, you'll dislike this one. It has very similar strengths and weaknesses. I realized something a while ago. Avatar is the movie equivalent of a demo...

So their goal now is to suck out space whale brains? To maybe help slow aging (for the rich)? They flew all the way over just for that? When they already at a level where they can create Navi clones capable of being remotely piloted via brain waves? My follow up question would be why they don't jus...

Any particular reason why the humans didn’t, I don’t Know, agent orange and/or nuke the place? Or develop a bio weapon / virus that could wipe them out (surely if they could create avatars they could do that?) Isn't this the same as the dropping giant rocks argument from the first movie? Also, give...

That poster is (perhaps unintentionally) the most honest depiction of what the upper classes of societies have in store for us plebes I’ve seen in awhile: “We will take everything from you, and you will be happy… or else” I fail to see how this will lead to a Marxist utopia though. All roads to Marx...

Even so, there are some disturbing parallels between that time and now. Yep. And there is a very vocal minority that is pushing hard to have that War, just as in the past. At this point I am truly afraid that it is inevitable. I do not see a path were the right doesn't attack whoever they think opp...

Wait. As Thor basically REMOVED Mjölnir from pre-Ragnarok reality by nabbing it and taking it to Endgame, doesn't that mean it would no longer have been THERE for Hela to shatter and Jane find the fragments and become Lady Thor? And this is why I hate time travel stories. According to the rules awk...

It's beautiful but it lacks a soul. I'm not invested nor care a lot about any of the characters (well, the chemistry between Elrond and the dwarves was pretty cool) so it lacks a lot of suspense for me. When you start a show where your main characters are Elves, who are perfect and are the best at ...

I suspect Britain is finished anyway. Too much has festered for too long, and it seems to me that the British public - or a substantial portion of it - is trapped in a psychological cul-de-sac from which it is unable, and perhaps unwilling, to escape. It wants its problems solved, yet demands solut...

How would you suggest they communicate which drone is the next target and the timing of the shot ? When concentrating fire, keep picking the 1-2 drones (or other enemy resistant to phaser fire) that are closest to the team and shoot them first? One would think that would be more of the natural tend...

Which then gets into the question of how much training should be devoted to fighting a single enemy faction. Especially a faction that rarely comes into Federation space and has been dealt with each time with existing tactics. Replicating anti-borg weapons can be done between detecting the borg and...

Kinda amazing to think that Queen Elizabeth II ended up ruling for over 70 years, longer than the majority of people have been alive. She almost became an institution upon herself! Sadly, we all knew it had to happen eventually, but really, who could picture anyone else but her in that role? It's li...

I don't recall adaption ever being about "you have x seconds from the first shot", more "you get y shots before the phaser becomes ineffective" Time should still be a factor though. If were purely a matter of y shots before phaser becomes ineffective with time having no impact, ...

I have some memory from TNG of them setting each phaser to a different frequency, so that the borg have to adapt to each phaser separately. Which sounds like it would be more useful in the tight corridors of a starship than trying to coordinate volley fire. I was thinking more along the lines of ST...

To go all risk assessor, the Borg might encounter so few people using bullets as opposed to energy weapons that it's not an issue worth considering on the Collective's side. The type of armour necessary to stop the kinetic attacks might be deemed too expensive materially, too much effort to affix, ...

At this rate Disney may end up buying them

I wonder what’s in it for the CEO, apart from his massive salary? He has the know the hits that WB is taking over this.
