Inertial Dampeners failing means the ship can no longer remain at warp. (Ship would be fine, the meat bags of mostly water would not) Trek is usually pretty consistent about that part.

The threat of mutual annihilation has discouraged us from nuking each other.

But I question the durability of that policy as the equator becomes less and less able to support life.

Well, they are natural enemies, but if you raise them together as pups…

The handbook covers a lot of essential ground for new crewmembers ranging from the senior crew, the different divisions and shifts, tech, guide to other species, as well as different scenarios laid out by Badgey. What was your favorite part to tackle?

Chris Farnell: So many candidates here. Shaxs’ "W.O.R.F." method, the poolside rules for Cetacean Ops, and the (not entirely reliable) history of ships to bear the name "Cerritos." Like any sensible person given access to a starship, my first question was "What can I get away with?" and the answer was "A frightening amount”

I had already preordered this months ago. And I have less than no regrets.

I have half memories of patents for Mac Laptops with cellular modems from like… the late PowerPC early Intel era.

I wonder what’s changed to make Apple give the green light? Certainly isn’t cellular prices.

I read the article, but it fails to elaborate on how it’s a worst case scenario for Trump.

How does Colorado finding Trump guilty of insurrection, but not barring him from the ballot, hinder him in any meaningful way?

Firefox on iOS uses WebKit.

I think you’ve inadvertently narrowed down that the issue is an extension you have enabled for Safari. Since it’s not the website itself.

Safari is a very thin wrapper around the WebKit rendering engine. Oversimplifying, but it basically only handles bookmarks and tabs. The actual webpage is handled with WebKit and all web browsers on iOS use WebKit.

So if Safari is acting slow, then you can presume that all browsers on iOS would act slow in those same situations.

In practice though, Safari/webkit slowdown tends to be one of two things:

  1. Poorly designed website: Think tons of trackers, ads, and analytics that bog down the website for no benefit to the user.

  2. Browser Extension issues:

Some extensions can speed up websites, mostly in the form of blockers than prevent unnecessary resources from loading in the first place…

On the other end of the spectrum, there are extensions that slow websites down that need to read and inject content into the source. It may be prudent to examine your extensions and see if there are conflicts.

It’s less that Twitter consumed forums and more that it was practically the final nail in the coffin for RSS feeds.

Half memories from 3rd grade science…

Water droplets must form around impurities. The those microplastics aren’t just going to rain down on us, they’re the founding particles of that rain.

It’s the headline for the CNN article.
