Didn't return your grocery cart? Straight to jail.

Oh, cool. I never knew about that. Thanks.

You said Type-1 (the compact, key fob looking TOS phaser), but linked a picture to the TOS Type-2 (the pistol). Which did you prefer?

I love the concept of the Type-1, and it would definitely be my favorite pick of the phasers based on function. But for how it looks, I like how the TNG Type-2 kinda blended the TOS Type-1 concept as a tool, but sized it up to the TOS Type-2 pistol in size. Best of both worlds. Still feels like a tool, but more power drill, less garage door opener or handgun.

EDIT: my autocorrect kept messing up the link.

I want to toss the Type-2 phaser from Star Trek (circa 24th century) as my personal favorite. It has this design which reads as a tool more than a weapon, which I love.

Practice, I guess?

To combat jet lag, or otherwise reset your sleep schedule if it has drifted...

1. Go 24 hours without eating.
2. Go to bed early enough to make sure you get 8-10 hours before you normally want to wake up.
3. Using an alarm, wake up a bit earlier than you usually want to wake up.
4. Make a big breakfast, eating when you normally want to wake up.

Now your body will have reset its circadian rhythm, and you'll naturally wake up at that time.

Say what you will about the game, but IRL does a decent job of switching up the meta on a regular basis. Though it's pretty frustrating when you figure out a decent strat, and then next season it's useless.

Pretty sure they are referring to average annual temperature. The winters may get colder in some areas, but the summers are getting hotter everywhere, and to a bigger degree. So the average temperature will continue to trend up.

If the big bang had never occurred, queer.af would never have died.

Ergo: big bang killed queer.af.

QED

They almost certainly picked it just for the joke.

queer.af = Queer AF = Queer as fuck!

It's like how popular the TLD of Guernsey (.gg) is with gaming websites.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even realize what country code the TLD was when they registered it.

This is anecdotal, but... I feel like it has gotten really slow. It's like it doesn't index anymore. It's so slow as to be unusable, even if I'm just searching within one DM history.

'we should have separated the people into their own regions'

We should launch all the white supremacists to Mars and see how well they fare building their own civilization.

If you're proud of limiting the genetic diversity in your lineage, you probably look as weird as some "purebred" dogs (i.e. inbred).

Dude might be the only person with teeth whom you could punch in the mouth and hit only gums.

On a tangential note: I propose we ship the top 1% wealthiest people to Mars and make them colonize it.

We can send all the life sentence and death row convicts with them.

I guess I assumed a sort of corollary.

Starfleet personnel ends up back in time on a Starfleet vessel. We both serve the same organization. My duty is to protect the timeline I come from. Your duty seems, implicitly, to aid a fellow Starfleet officer in their mission (to protect the aforementioned timeline).

It seems like Starfleet should have a dedicated Temporal Security crew on every starship and starbase for such an occasion. You find a supposed time traveler, you immediately call this team. They sequester the intruder and go through a careful interview to verify their claim as cleanly as possible, then render what aid is needed to secure the timeline and get them home (or, barring that possibility, get them somewhere isolated where they can't contaminate the timeline). Then, maybe memory wipe the Temporal Security team (and possibly anyone else who interacted with the traveler). On the flipside, if you end up back in time, it's expected you should immediately attempt to contact the local Temporal Security crew.

Sure, but what about random crewmen, like in my example? Are they expected to make such a decision?

Sure, but there's also cost to the state to be considered.

That said, the common methods for execution used today are surprisingly expensive.

If God wanted those kids fed, he'd have rained mana from the heavens, or multiplied bread and fish for them. If they are hungry, they clearly deserve it.
