There’s enough automation that the ship probably flies itself from A to B for the most part; you only need a pilot/navigator to start, end, and change course.

The rest of them are there for insurance purposes.

Chekov, unless he’s the one taking the picture…

Did he get the idea from Ford Prefect?

Do you not?

I liked Disco, I love SNW and Lower Decks, and I’d agree that Prodigy is somehow still the best Trek of the current era. It’s actually amazing when I think about it.

“But it’s just a cartoon for kids”

And yet. Here we are.

Baby Wesley was taught to play Donkey Kong by Captain Anderson???

I’m assuming Columbo was another of Janeway’s “holonovels” (is that a posh future way of saying “videogame”?)

That’s the great thing about single player games - you can just use a save editor and retcon anything you need as you go along…

Yes, the turtleneck and the belt really made it work.

In the latest general election there was a constituency decided by fifteen votes. And several decided by less than 100.

Terrifying to think an MP could be elected because their name was Aaron A Aaronson rather than their party or reputation or policies and some goobers just wanted to play at being a functional member of society…

Hahah, that is… well, terrifying.

While I don’t believe in disenfranchising people, how do you deal with the voters who are literally too dumb to understand the process…?

Unzipping archive. Please insert disk 34/2365

Personally, I’d say yes if they’ve heard of Captain Kirk and Mister Spock.

Not all of it, but a couple of select episodes such a Space Seed and Balance of Terror.

Then a couple of TNG episodes like The Measure of a Man and Q Who

If they’re into it after that, some TOS films (2,3 and 4 come to mind) and a few more TNG episodes in order.

The first couple of DS9 episodes to see if they like the space station format, but after season 2 or 3 I think those need to be watched in order really.

Then Voyager, then Enterprise.

If they don’t get on with TNG, maybe look at the first few episodes of Discovery. If that’s a bit grim for them, Strange New Worlds should be light enough.

Prodigy might be a good start if they don’t want to watch 60 years of legacy Trek to catch them up.

And Lower Decks is nice and light but I think they’d get far more out of it if they have some reference on what’s being riffed on.

Show him the Titan-A. Lights mean you can at least see what you’re doing while at work…

Crushed three apples into juice FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

The last time I tried to install Windows 11 on a VM (Nutanix AHV), I had to fiddle with a virtual TPM and lost the live migration feature as a result.

Dos this mean I can install the LTSC version, not need the TPM and have a working, live migrate-able machine?

Something to test next week…

“Soap opera actress Cheryl McFadden”

TIL.

Sounds good to me!

Is there air? YOU DON’T KNOW!
