I think with the transporting, there are elements of automation that can be done in perfect conditions, but if the shields were up, the infinite forms of interference, or on-the-fly adjustments a computer can’t do

Why didn’t Picard have an “evasive maneuvers” button?

My parents recently purchased a new Volva XC40. It has lane detention when on cruise control or highways which is nice of you happen to drift lanes because it’ll put some resistance on the steering wheel. Where it is not helpful is when there’s a lane merge from an on ramp or “left lane ends” and it detects the hashes and you need to push through it…or if a semi sways/changes lanes without seeing you and you genuinely have to fight the wheel not to get sideswiped.

Now imagine you’re at the helm during battle, piloting to avoid fire or ship debris and Picard pushed the button on his arm rest for Evasive Maneuvers or Attack Pattern Sierra-2.

You’ll let me remove your spaceship from the timeline, or I’ll put my foot up your space-ass.

Alternatively…

What could have been cool is if omega molecule nuked large sections of subspace where ships currently were and it led to thin cooridors where warp travel was still possible…but that’s where pirate groups like Emerald Chain showed up taking control of them. Starfleet was already spread so thin they could barely maintain control which led to the fracturing

Man am I glad I killed my FB back In 2012 when it was mostly pictures of peoples babies and people acting like hating Obama was a personality trait

Admiral Nakamura would like to have a very calm cool level-headed word with you.

It’s not so much technobabble, but from mid-TNG on through DS9 and VOY it seemed that, at least once per episode, “Some kind of…” was used to describe anything new.

What blew my mind about that whole intro is they hid the entire ship UNDERWATER AT THE SHORELINE with a severe risk of damage to the local terrain and sea life instead of, you know, being in orbit.

Don’t worry, your cake pun will cake pan out

• And 17 people died because he wasn’t their for transport.

• Picard came down to personally promote him but since he abandoned his post he’s now getting demoted.

• Keiko came down to get a little freaky with him, but since he was busy digging through Riker’s undies she had a fling with the tech in the transporter room across the hall

It’s not Data, it’s clearly Lore playing a cruel joke…

…Data cannot use contractions

and Star Wars too (mainly the tech difference between the OT and the prequels)

My headcanon between OT and PT was the galaxy was kind of in a technological recession because the Empire nationalized a some industries and hoarded the high end tech for building their massive new navy and military, kinda how resources were rationed in WW2. It’s even stated in some sources that the rebellion had to use cheaper or older equipment/vessels because they weren’t as well-funded

As I said in a project call where someone was pumping up AI, this is just the latest bubble ready to pop. Everyone is dumping $$ into AI, a couple decent ones will survive but the bulk is either barely functional or just vaporware.

They’re both put into soundproof booths, but make sure the orange turd’s mic is always on so everyone knows exactly what he says…get incriminating

2 of my favorite gifs from Biden is that and his looks of utter dismay at that orange turd from that same debate

Chakotay looks he just came out of a Miami Vice holodeck program

IIRC DS9 and VOY were shot on tape which is why they say we’ll never get a true remaster of those.
