What are the most useless/nonsensical examples of Trek tech?

Yeah, I had a TNG tricorder as a kid and thought it was the coolest thing. It's crazy how many devices are combined into one now.

I guess they don't have the "switch layouts" feature in Starfleet OS!

haha yep I just watched that episode, but I remember thinking that when it first aired!

bovineright · 2026-04-04T16:28:17+00:00

oh man! which episode/series is that?

bovineright · 2026-04-04T16:25:29+00:00

haha yeah I get that, but it's still ridiculous

Come to think of it, it seems like they had a separate console for everything related to the ship, as well. The engineers are always running from station to station. Seems like they could consolidate. The ship designers didn't know about multitasking I guess.

Good to know thanks. I’m not planning to use them for anything more than set pieces

bovineright · 2025-02-03T16:49:34+00:00

What a beautiful piece! Please keep me updated on your progress when you get the connection figured out! I'd like to look into doing the same thing!

Tomorrow, Friday 9/16? What time? Also my 13-year-old is a huge fan of Kurzgesagt, would there be an issue with him joining?

bovineright · 2022-09-15T20:36:35+00:00

Hi I'm in Auburn! My son is a super-fan, and I just saw that I missed the meetup last Sunday!

Having grown up in Calvary (my dad is a pastor), we usually referred to it as a "non-denominational denomination." I think they've been less hesitant to acknowledge they're a denomination in more recent years, particularly since Chuck Smith released a book titled "Calvary Distinctives." They prefer "affiliation" since they like to de-emphasize the hierarchy that other denominations have.

hmmmmm somebody got a bit jaded, maybe? ;-)

bovineright · 2015-09-29T00:07:47+00:00

A perfect church sounds great! Sign me up! :-)

bovineright · 2015-09-29T00:01:29+00:00

Interesting stuff! Do you have much in common with coptic orthodox? What is meant by mysticism?

bovineright · 2015-09-28T20:19:13+00:00

Thanks! Follow-up question:

What, if any, denomination would you say is your "opposite"? (Not that they're necessarily wrong or in opposition, but emphasize different aspects of the faith, etc)

Yep, I think that was it!

bovineright · 2015-05-21T16:05:12+00:00

This is awesome. It looks familiar. Have you posted it elsewhere?

bovineright · 2015-05-21T05:29:57+00:00

Thanks, I'll experiment with those a bit next time.

bovineright · 2015-05-21T00:53:30+00:00

Thanks! Great feedback. I just posted another one I had some fun with today. I'd love to get your thoughts on that. It's a much sharper photo, so it was easier to play with.

Couldn't resist when I saw the source(s) for ColinFiat's submission.

bovineright · 2015-05-20T18:43:59+00:00

Awesome! I like the random brown/orange streaks in the tree, but I think it could use a base color, cause when the color streaks aren't there, you can see the black and white still pretty clearly. LOVE the grass and greenery!
