You shouldn't really wear your contacts if they're going to come into contact with water, they will indeed trap parasites against the eye that would under normal circumstances get cleared away.

Yeah, it's a fun format, it'd be interesting to see a few more match ups. I hope this helps build his confidence a bit - I'm rooting for him to get to GM in spite of the odds, it's an inspirational attempt if nothing else.

He'll probably invoke some kind of godhood defence. The federation is pretty fucked up in general.

There must be something to their judicial system, taking Voyager as the example, clearly as soon as they are beyond the reach of Federation justice captains turn into genocidal war criminals in very short order.

I don't think you're being insulted, just that the limit can be unobtainable by 99% of people and still be effective. Personally I think that's a possible thing, but also a pointless thing, a wage cap is going to do nothing to redistribute Jeff Bezos' wealth in a sensible manner.

Certainly it could be, I would like to see some proper study done into it, but it's probably borderline impossible.

Conversely patents are somewhat unobtainable by the average Joe, I think I saw it costing somewhere in the region of 25-50k to patent something by the time you factor in the cost of a decent patent lawyer.

Maybe a 10-15 year patent period with lower barrier to entry would be a good thing.
