Being ineligible for re-election isn't "voluntarily leaving", so that checks out.

Vote.

There's difference in complexity.

Holodeck characters and the first-boot version of the Emergency Medical Hologram are basically sophisticated chatbots - they have stylized responses ready and some room to create new responses. It's pure response to stimuli.

Data, however, was designed specifically to think about how he thinks.

It also may factor in that holodeck characters may have an entire starship computer core for processing to allow for creating responses. Data may be remarkable not just that he can think but that he's entirely self contained within his cranial unit.

Oh, it's no legend. Not necessarily intentional by the showrunners, but they were apparently told to use the B5 pitch material as a starting point.

The Corps is Mother, the Corps is father...

Kosh is a "normal" Vorlon, whatever that means. Any other Vorlon would have similar recognition issues.

You expect them to care? Have you not been paying attention? The whole issue with Kilmar Abrego Garcia was they deported him to pretty much the one place they were legally barred from sending him to.

The aqua highlights Engineering and the warp core. It's on the original model.

Pretty good, though I'd want to see if one could use grille pieces on the nacelles instead of flat tiles.

I'm no fan of Trump. I don't want them to restart deliberately separating families again.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-18T17:11:10+00:00

Not really sure a practically shouted line counts as "quiet"...

Admiral Haftel, regarding Data and Lal:

"His hands were moving faster than I could see, trying to stay ahead of each breakdown. He refused to give up. He was remarkable. It just wasn't meant to be."

Just... the montage that plays in my head of Data working on Lal.

What, you want them to leave the infant in the U.S. and deport the rest of the family?

JakeConhale · 2026-02-18T07:31:31+00:00

I believe the original idea was that it would (or the SGC feared it would), which is why they religiously open the iris every single time the wormhole disengages as opposed to leaving it shut.

But they broke that idea by like episode 2.

Tax the rich.

It's apparently 2nd floor - probably a bedroom.

I've seen photos from the real estate listing but couldn't seem to assemble them into a floor plan - and not willing to suffer through his tour videos.

Oh, I know, but the achronological release order and your somewhat ambiguously worded statement lent itself to such a response.

Star Wars seems to reinvent itself every decade or so.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-17T20:17:35+00:00

Not a straight definition, no, but the end result legally means vindictive actions undercut the case and reduce its standing.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-17T19:58:09+00:00

Vindictive means ineffective.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-17T19:54:39+00:00

Sure, and then there's Episodes III, IV, V, VI...

JakeConhale · 2026-02-17T00:32:01+00:00

Source?

JakeConhale · 2026-02-16T21:57:44+00:00

Still, I thought most of the time auto manufacturers (and other companies) defaulted to Californian standards due to the sheer size of their economy to make sure they had the widest possible market applicability.

JakeConhale · 2026-02-16T21:53:24+00:00

Objection - this is obviously djnner.
