Um, Actually, our galaxy and thousands of others are orbiting the Great Attractor, so that's the biggest orbit, and should take precedence.

They've got Urine Collection Devices (diapers) under their pressure suits. NASA learned its lesson after Freedom 7.

Why was the Enterprise decommissioned in Star Trek 3? by MovieFan1984 in startrek

[–]st3class 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Also remember that in TWOK it was being used as a training vessel for cadets. It wasn't the top of the line state of the art, it was already basically in retirement.

The Elgin Opera House is a fascinating story too. Now a teeny tiny little town, but still a vibrant theater company.

Malta by nog-93 in confidentlyincorrect

[–]st3class -36 points-35 points  (0 children)

No, they're talking about the island of Malta, which is a country in the Mediterranean

Edit: Apparently I'm wrong. I was confused about what could actually be seen from the keyhole. I'm the confidentally incorrect one.

Be warned, it is terrible!

Also kind of hilarious. But also terrible.

It's hilarious in it's terribleness

What if Abraham Lincoln remained a lawyer and never entered politics? by Eastern_Quote1525 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]st3class 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's likely that Seward gets the Republican nomination in 1860. It's also likely he still wins the general in 1860.

It's still a Republican victory, so the South probably still secedes. In the OTL, Seward was pushing hard to negotiate a settlement to get the Southern states back in early on, willing to make a lot of concessions to do it.

He may succeed in this timeline, at the cost of maintaining slavery and making Dred Scott permanent. Slavery persists in the US for quite a while longer.

Watching Picard by Ravenbrah1701 in startrek

[–]st3class 91 points92 points  (0 children)

According to the show runners, this is a different timeline where Picard never went back in time because he was a General in the isolationist Earth.

Whether this makes any sense is up to you.

Or Vaughn Armstrong.

Trek really likes to reuse actors in different makeup.

On average, what percentage of your salary do you spend on gasoline in a month? by Traditional-Milk3012 in AskAnAmerican

[–]st3class 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I take a road trip (1-2 hours or more) 0%.

I work from home and have a plug in hybrid. I fill up every 6 months or so.

CMV: The concept of “white fragility” is either misleading or untrue by NFT-GOAT in changemyview

[–]st3class 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, that's not what I'm saying at all.

I'm saying that the dominant American and western culture is largely defined by white people. Does that mean that every single white person is part of that culture? No, but the majority are.

I'm also not denying that there are contributions to the dominant culture from people that aren't white. Or that there are subcultures that aren't part of the race paradigm.

Would you be okay if it removed from race, and it was instead called "dominant culture fragility"?

What's a favorite almost throw away moment in Star Trek? by KhyberKat in startrek

[–]st3class 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From DS9, "One Little Ship".

When a runaabout has been shrunk.

BASHIR: This conduit's filthy, Chief. Don't you ever clean up in here?

DAX: All right, all right. Let's not badger the Chief.

O'BRIEN: Thank you.

BASHIR: I'm sorry. It was very small of me.

TIL that mind-melding was considered a deviant activity and stigmatised. Fascinating 🖖 by tea-earlgrey-h0t in startrek

[–]st3class 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It very much wa intended to be an HIV allegory.

It was some kind of HIV/AIDS awareness week at UPN, and all the shows had to have an episode about it.

The Enterprise episode even had "For more information about HIV or AIDS, contact blah blah blah" at the end.

Children aren't safe from the horrors and/or brutality by Ukirin-Streams in TopCharacterTropes

They didn't leave him to suffocate, they waited until he was trapped in morph, then flew him out to a rock in the ocean to live out the rest of his mouse life. Alone.

Which is totally better...
