/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

They'd likely have similar technology with their touchscreens as well do ours. It's not meant to react against any pressure, but only recognizes conductive material.

And Starfleet would make sure NOT to have the ass of their uniforms made of that kind of material for these exact reasons

Boimler did say Starfleet is always updating and improving them. Maybe that's why they changed on the D. Riker forced them to invent anti-console padding

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 20 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I wonder how many similar technologies Riker is responsible for:-).

Instant site-to-site transporting condoms, probably

"Computer, emergency protocol 68 on my location"

box of condoms materializes on nearby table

Riker programmed the computer to have the condom materialize on his dong. He's still perfecting the mechanics of having it transport midthrust just as he's about to...fire his torpedoes, full spread.

That man could make me smile no matter what mood I'm in

Do they use condoms in Star Trek? I presume there would be a much better standard for birth control and disease prevention by that point.

I imagine it's gonna be tough to top the classic Wrap it Up approach, especially as we discover all the strange new STIs. Physical separation is important for all kinds of things

He's got a whole hospital on Risa named after him. As well as their innoculation protocol.
