Weißt du Pipi, das ist 'n absolut berechtigter Einwand.

Achtung Nebel in Bayern: Wann ist welches Licht erlaubt?

Komische Zielgruppe. Ich wusste gar nicht, dass Nebel mehrere Lichter hat und bedienen kann.

I will never get over how the Borg were so amazingly well introduced just to be utterly torn down within a few years. The whole buildup of Q introducing the federation to something so strong it merely serves as a means to make Picard crawl before him (metaphorically, yes), Guinan giving a back story of how they “developed over a thousand centuries” and destroyed their homeworld while still not knowing much about them and the Borg themselves remaining mostly silent while still being so well written was just remarkable.

And then they introduce the queen and Voyager comes around, making assimilation reversible, introducing drones to have their individuality intact and being their old selves while they sleep and finally having that small exploration vessel just blast through the Borg like they’re paper walls before labelling them nearly extinct in Picard and having them saved by a singing doctor.

It’s a damn shame and whoever greenlit each of those steps of running down such an excellently introduced foe should be forced to write long essays on what went wrong when writing each single borg encounter in Trek. They were introduced to be the perfect storm the federation would just have to live with and bend to… Instead they turned out to be a side note that popped up each time the writers wanted something seemingly dangerous to overcome or conquer. I hate it.

How so?

Does Keiko know about that?

And you will be for the next 20 years. At least.

The one tool I’m actively using all the time is git. I mean, I know I’m probably using the Linux kernel more than that, but when it comes to a conscious choice, it’s git. My documents are all version controlled. It gives me such a peace of mind.

No shit.

There aren’t that many pictures of the bluebrixx enterprise d from below for comparison (and I still think it’s odd the Lego model was shown from an angle you practically never see it from, but whatever)…

From golem.de:

From YouTube:

The bb enterprise d came with about 2k pieces for about 200 bucks, so the retail price per piece isn’t even that far off. The dimensions are pretty much the same though (bb coming at 55 cm length, so slightly shorter), so I’ll guess that Lego just keeps its course of avoiding larger plates and pieces to end up using so many more pieces for a model of roughly the same size. I really prefer how bb avoided sharp corners in the saucer section though.

/edit

Okay, my mistake: the bb enterprise is 55 cm wide, so the Lego one seems to actually be larger as, due to the elliptical saucer, the model is supposed to be wider than long:

Also, here’s a better bottom view image I found on amazon, for a better comparison:

/edit 2:

Lego enterprise saucer section seems 60 studs wide. BB Enterprise is a bit harder to count from the images, but I’d say it’s 52. So, yeah, Lego 1701-D is a bit bigger.

That comic doesn’t communicate that well, to the point where I thought that would have been the message but still checked the website because I thought that couldn’t be it. The eyes aren’t drawn in a way that would imply blindness. He won’t be able to “talk for a while”, implying that’ll be fine again. He has all his limbs. Breathing tube, yeah, but that alone really doesn’t illustrate injuries to the degree of wanting to be dead - I’ve seen people with similar devices that essentially help them sleep.

If your explanation is correct, the comic doesn’t really do its job of communicating it, so any other explanation would be just as likely.

I even checked their website if this one’s missing some other comic for context that needs to be read with this one, but that doesn’t seem to be the case either. Don’t get it.

Got an iPhone from my work… I really want to like it, but damn, I miss the back button.

On top of that, lower saxony (where VW resides) has a law that effectively gives the country blocking minority rights, so those 53 percent don’t give Porsche the ability to actually control the company.

No worries, could have been me ^^

Actually, the first iteration of that interface was Windows Phone 7 and it was pretty terrific.

Also, just to follow up on this, it’s for the largest part not scientists that got us into this mess, whatever in particular that may be. The world would be much better off if people had more trust in science. That’s too much to demand though it seems, especially from boomers. So here we are, with populists and companies messing stuff up and people like you blaming scientists for the results.

i don’t like trusting scientists in fact. trusting scientists is how we got into this mess. people let themselves be manipulated by scientific results. people need to think for themselves. yes, that includes not believing certain scientific results, but IMO it’s better to deny a scientific result that I dislike and do not understand than trusting scientists that spent their entire lives researching that particular aspect of the universe

by the way i’m not a science denialist

Can’t make that shit up.
