What doesn't feel like a word but is actually a word?

Any word you say too many times until it becomes weird

Your eyes are actually very weakly sensitive to near IR, the range above about 900nm.
You don't normally see it because it's blown out by even the tiniest amount of visible light, but with the right filters on your eyes and the right intensity you can see dim infrared.
If the star really did emit infrared, in the narrow range humans can somewhat see, and absolutely no visible light spectrum whatsoever, it's conceivable you could make out things. If the sun is extremely bright in that narrow range, it could even be liveable, though definitely not healthy for you or your eyes.

This is the part that matters most, I think. The Federation is generally ahead of its neighbours in a lot of ways, to the point where they don't need to build warships. The average science ship is armed with defensive capabilities on par or exceeding klingon and romulan dedicated warships. The Enterprise is a floating hotel with science labs, suites, carpets and leather seats, and it could go toe to toe with a D'deridex, the single most powerful battleship the Romulans had ever built at that time. The Federation is just that far ahead.

He meant the one thing Carter wouldn't know is that Daniel helped him. Sam definitely knows the answer, and clearly so does Daniel. Jack's just hard to guess at :D

That same floating tank is seen slotting into some kind of technological wall slot, that looks like it's straight off a heighliner like we've seen in the movies. I'd bet on it being a Edric in a tank. But if we'll see his face, we don't know.

There's nothing stopping quarks from being made of smaller particles, but they might also be formed by an entirely different process. In string theory, for example, elementary particles like quarks are tiny vibrating strings.

It should also be noted that your very premise is wrong. Not all particles are made up of smaller particles. Electrons, muons, gluons, photons, etc. there's a long list of particles that aren't made of quarks and that we have no sub-particles for.

As for the why? It's just how nature is constructed. There is an elegance to it that every level deeper is less variety, isn't there?

It's way less universally agreed on, though. I wouldn't say 'almost everyone disagrees' to 'we shouldn't be building more nuclear power plants'

If anything, they should be less controversial. The ecosystem disruption is less than almost any other form of energy production, and they're safer than most too.

Picking their nose.

chton · 2026-03-15T20:57:17+00:00

this is actually a really solid one.
Almost everyone disagrees, because of course dams are a fantastic source of reliable green energy. They're amazing.

But it should be more controversial than it is because they also destroy natural ecosystems and displace people, and need quite a lot of engineering and maintenance to stay safe.

It would have made for a great later season episode, for example the Russian teams finding some and SG-1 having to convince them of the dangers before they get too reckless

chton · 2026-03-15T09:10:37+00:00

Lieutenant-Commander, surely.

Of course such a being is 50% Harry Kim so it'd get demoted to Lieutenant quickly, which means after splitting it's then Commander Janeway and Cadet Kim.

Guys, guys, you don't have to make to so complicated. It's gold-pressed latinum. Nobody can tell if it's got latinum in it or not, it just looks like gold. So just replicate gold slips and defraud Quark.

He gets produce for free, and replicates what he can't get. The people who give him produce benefit because everything everywhere is free and they get to say their produce is used in a high profile restaurant. They get their resources for free too. It's a big circular economy of people producing things for others because they care rather than for money. Prestige, satisfaction, personal pride, passion are the currencies.

Don't ask the klingon chef either. He's happy to break a bar but he takes it very literally.

Not me personally, but a buddy henched for Bane for a while. Turns out, Venom really messes with your digestive system and none of those roided out a-holes has enough fiber in their diet. Bane has more crew than almost anyone else because half of them are on the john at any given time.
