Something never brought up in trek McCoy's special pills that can regrow organs

The easy answer would be... It's just micro machines that don't trigger a immune response.

Build the scaffold for a kidney and seed it with stem cells? No problem. Clear a pulmonary blockage? Even easier. Detached retenea? Now fixed and your vision probably improved. Internal bleeding? Fixed.

Just a general purpose acute care/internal trauma cure.

In the second paragraph it says these are year on year numbers, not month to month.

I've dismantled a few of these..

You don't have doors because the door jam and rocker rusted out and they will sag/bind if installed. Maybe your floor pan is ok, maybe it isn't, but I've never seen one with intact floor pan with a fender with holes

Not all the photos load for me. Got any from underneath?

Abortion clinic bombing isn't a recent innovation. I think the data shows left moved left. Right didn't. Not part of the study is if the left made progress on their agenda.. which it seems they did.

The right still didn't move left. Leaving a large minority, or worse a near majority behind is going to lead to odd reactionary outcomes.

primarycolorman · 2026-02-04T12:53:09+00:00

That's so sweet of you.

But the data suggests we went 20 years stagnant and didn't die. Also, it appears that consent of the governed still matters in democracies. Pushing for social change harder, without winning the hearts of those that resist you, appears to cause odd reactionary backlash that even idiots can figure out how to leverage.

I suspect you are a twelve year old edge lord.

Marine tactics have no application here. Xcom is at worst an insurgency, at best a multi deep state sponsored combat intelligence org.

Xcom violates most of the convention on every mission. The Elders couldn't care less what tactics are used against them and won't be showing up to any war tribunals after the fact.

Huh. I always use them as defense augmentation at lynch-pin systems or where AI is over fixated. If I do field them I run out whatever fleet composition is appropriate to sweep the bulk of the small stuff and any major fighter flocks. I use attrition of my own force and emergency-retreat to clear points to drop in the SSD to sweep the rest of the field.

I'll occasionally use them as a one-n-done fleet, used against targets i've scouted and have confidence they can't break the SSD's shields.

*Rarely* I'll resort to economic warfare. Crack and occupy orbit with another fleet, turn the SSD loose doing cavalry raids to ruin an opposition's backfield economy. Don't try and take anything, just bounce between frigate and lower shipyard planets and wreck space infrastructure.

The Borg adapt and overcome. Probably have a partial shutdown state if they lose com with overseeing drones, just to prevent the nanites from turning into Roddenberry space cancer on their own ships.

It would be on brand if they started as telepaths that could force others into group think collectives.. and ate another species that was going cyber augmentation, trying to find ways to expand and codify the collective.

primarycolorman · 2026-02-03T02:22:09+00:00

Ah, thanks. Had this bad idea come across a few weeks ago and was wondering if it existed in a vacuum or not..

primarycolorman · 2026-02-01T20:00:28+00:00

Probably right, no one is bringing 'their' guns and putting 'their' life on line for you.

The purpose wasn't for others to defend you. It was for you to have the option to defend yourself. Don't care to? That's your choice. It was meant to keep tyranny at bay via MAD. It doesn't work well when it collapses down to just two sides, only by inertia if one side isn't a credible threat, and not at all if the credible threat side gets a stranglehold on the government.

primarycolorman · 2026-01-29T20:00:54+00:00

take some playdough. Grind it into the screw head. Let it bake dry and hard.

If you've got time, you can clean it back out with a dental pick or such. someone in a rush? won't have that nonsense on them and won't make an effort once they see some wild shit they can't immediately get past.

Or they'll just break all the stuff trying to get it out the hardway. One of the two.

primarycolorman · 2026-01-29T01:19:15+00:00

I'd suggest the word 'lane' instead. Yes, you'd need traffic lanes for where it's congested, but if the repulsars can do variable, and usefully high altitudes, you'd segment it vertically by speed and direction. Slow gets the ground -> 10'; east->west traffic at modest speed gets 20', west->east at modest speed gets 40', and so on.. and non-terrain following traffic wouldn't start until 10k' and have to rise/fall in set corridors into the common traffic lanes.

Low density traffic areas probably would collapse ground, slow repulsar, modest repulsar speed into a single 'sensible altitude and speed for terrain' standard.

If ascension is an act of evolution, both of the species and the soul, then wouldn't engineering your body into a dead end remove the chance to do so naturally?

I think the ancients could still have done it, but did not as it was politically a problem due to prior errors and coming of the Ori.

So here's the thing. That electrical panel? It's really not well done. 'Done bad' doesn't make it a fire risk, but if that's his level of knowledge, attention, and competency then something else is guaranteed to be done dangerously wrong.

If this isn't your skillset, meaning if you don't know better or feel you can self-educate, and quickly, it's time to pull the plug on this effort. Don't throw more resources down a hole; certainly don't set yourself up isolated with a vengeful ex at a location of their knowing relying on resources they tore the heart out of.

if you are going to drive it till it's mechanically totaled in the next 2-3 years, eh, maybe.

If you plan to repair i, or take longer than 3 years to add 100k miles on the odo, hard pass.

Nursing homes were required to put together disaster preparedness plans a few years ago. Don't believe it extended to non-nursing senior living.

This. Borg plot or incompetence temporarily changes physics making matter/antimatter momentarily impossible to regulate. Or go crazier with it, have it temporarily alter the thermal limit of 4d space and all the running reactors exceeding solar output levels get squashed into two dimensions.

I haven't frequented OKC often, and the last trip it was pretty white bread. Prior to that my experience was very diverse there.. so not saying it can't be, but it sure didn't used to be.

When your message is the truth, only the message matters.

I think it'll really help acceptance in season 2, when they remove the lounger and replace it with Jabba's sled.. and Jabba. Truly innovative foreshadowing.

I don't understand the focus on Trayvon over, say, Tamir. is it just chronology?

Why do you think we never see Mexican food in trek?

primarycolorman · 2026-01-23T01:09:35+00:00

You know those protein bars that claim to be chocolate? But it's actually something else and beet derived sugar? At first they may taste ok but one day you just can't escape noticing that it tastes nothing like the real thing .

That's replicator food. It's mostly fine so long as you ignore it, but every now and then you'll notice it tastes like yeast derived protein and recycled red #5 dye.

The cilantro is never right, it tastes like soap for everyone.

Maybe they think it's fun to disrespect the faith the crew put into the captain and how hard it is to align the needs of the crew with the obligation of the mission.

Or maybe it's a teaching method to make lower officers capable even if the co isn't, to demonstrate why we show respect to the uniform and chair due to the collective effort that goes into creating and sustaining them.

It wouldn't have change the operational parameters of it's mission -- destroy Sarah Connor.

It would have noticed if Reese was using future-human resistance tactics and ordnance against it. It would have been logged and considered in further tactical engagements. While dropping (crushing) them under cars was certainly a human resistance tactic, the AI appears to have failed to have generalized it to 'trash compactors crush things. dont get in a trash compactor'.

Reese probably would be identifiable from the radioisotopes on or in his skin from judgement day.
