/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Excellent, thank you! I connected all references except the first one (I'm not a Trekkie so maybe that's why)

Eventually everyone on the fediverse will be a Trekkie running Linux

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh no, I started watching Star Trek not that long ago, and I've been kinda thinking about going to Linux soon... I was a pawn of the fediverse the whole time!!

From what I understand the cute socks and cat ears arrive a few weeks after you install Arch

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

That's why they are missing. I installed Arch once got annoyed in seconds and went back to SUSE. I extensively use the arch wiki though, so can I get one or the other?

TNG S5E2 is the legendary episode from this post. You have so many gems in your journey like S2E9 etc etc. You are in an envious position of experiencing the franchise for the first time, just make sure you start out with TNG, DS9(slow start but great), and Voy (a bit mid but with some great episodes) & I always thought enterprise was good.

Post that lot though... The newer films can be a fun cinematic experience I guess, but the series are mostly trash. SNW had some moments, Discovery had a few, but really MEH.

Oh also TNG S1 was fairly rough but improves so much as it ran. Still had its share of duds but the highs of the high points were some of the best TV of the genre at the time.

I like The Orville and enjoyed the J.J. films, but that's as far as I'll dive into the world of Trekkie-dom.

What in the fever dream is this comic? It's so bizarre, I'm going to need a translation for your translation.

My edit of your initial insights:

Miles on average: Everything out of spec, how do I fix this?

Smith/Rock: hit it

(Shaka[...]: error) Capn: gotcha

Turkish olympics guy: Did you succeed without any specialist tools?

Raygun: No, it's much worse

billionaire sub: Drive it into the sea.

Spongebob: X minutes later [Claim the insurance (implied from image)]

DiCaprio: Great thanks, new car works

Dune bucket: Enjoy it

Next...

I forgot about the Dune popcorn bucket reference until your explanation.
