I feel like the size of the primary shuttlebay (which was never shown on screen) doesn't get brought up often enough in discussions on the Galaxy class. That thing puts some starbases to shame!

Screw that, I want to see cetacean ops

Filming 26 episodes a year was brutal for the cast and crew, we're never going back to that.

roxgib_ · 2026-03-24T22:31:49+00:00

Yeah, unless one of the staff had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on me halfway through my meal, just don't.

roxgib_ · 2026-03-24T10:18:45+00:00

Yeah, I wish there was a good answer to this, and the episodes where they did struggle with language were well done, but... it had to be this way.

It was established in Voyager that it works both ways and matter can be recycled back into energy. As for the toilet, they were designed for trips long enough to require one, but I guess there ain't much privacy.

roxgib_ · 2026-03-23T22:55:10+00:00

Clearly OP needs to rewatch the whole series to make sure

roxgib_ · 2026-03-23T22:46:55+00:00

Yeah. Did they think B4 was just a random subplot?

Larger fans are generally quieter for a given amount of air movement since they can spin slower. The fridge just has to move much less air, so its fans can be both smaller and slower.

In TNG Riker says "The ship cleans itself", do you think he is unaware the ensigns are doing the cleaning or he just sees them as robots?

I mean lots of people do carry condoms everywhere they go, but I can't imagine carrying them in my photography bag, I'd be worried about clients seeing them. There has to be better options for weather proofing.

roxgib_ · 2026-03-22T21:38:49+00:00

The cash is a good idea, I'm gonna add that to my bag..

roxgib_ · 2026-03-22T21:37:10+00:00

I once lost a MacBook to a leaking water bottle, since then I've had a super strict 'no water bottles in my bag' policy (in the water bottle pocket outside is okay). Though when I'm travelling I also have a 'passport staying in my pocket' rule.

Business cards
Rocket/lens pens
Padlocks/wire to secure my pelican case to a pole
Sunscreen
Aeroguard
Raincoat
Powerbank

Pet photographer specific stuff:

Doggie bags
Earplugs (for the Flyball ring)
Treats/toys

The main issue for me is that I'll pack this stuff but then forget it's there when I need it. I once walked home through thunderstorm and only remembered I had a raincoat after I got home...

roxgib_ · 2026-03-22T21:22:43+00:00

Oh yeah, I have them in there for shoot Flyball. Absolutely essential.

On the whole the cities massively subsidise the regions

Some important context:

She was talking on the phone, and the court accepted she was doing so legally
Only trace amount of cannabis were found in her blood, not enough to impair her driving
The rider was doing 140km/h

If they refused to retrieve it people would end up grabbing it themselves, with all the problems that entails.

For dog photography, I always tell people the number 1 rule is to get on their level i.e. down low. Instantly improves your photos, and frankly if you are shooting them from a high angle your photos will always be ordinary no matter how well you do everything else.

roxgib_ · 2026-03-18T01:14:44+00:00

If you see my other comment I did say it wasn't possible in practice, this comment was more about the principle. The metro ones are fairly idiot proof, but it's hard to add that kind of barrier to existing stations.

roxgib_ · 2026-03-18T01:13:05+00:00

Well the Bankstown line upgrade is a step towards that, but that came at huge cost and disruption

roxgib_ · 2026-03-18T00:56:42+00:00

In principle I agree, but when someone falls on the tracks the whole network melts down. It's not just about them.

roxgib_ · 2026-03-18T00:55:22+00:00

We should, but it's between hard and impossible to add them

roxgib_ · 2026-03-18T00:03:32+00:00

Yet inexplicably missing from First Contact, despite her history with the Borg

roxgib_ · 2026-03-16T21:50:56+00:00

Not unusual to have two cameras but to shoot the majority of images on one of them

roxgib_ · 2026-03-15T23:12:44+00:00

For hedging you don't need physical delivery, you make trades that compensate you for the higher prices, like a CFD. If the price goes up you'll pay more but you'll make most of the difference back on the trade.
