With my (admittedly limited) understanding of the topic, extracting the water from ocean water is a relatively simple process.

The problem is what do you do with the brine afterwards. The process featured in the article makes it harder for the brine to clog the system, which is admittedly an important step. But you can’t put the brine back into the ocean without risking killing local wildlife.

And I’m not under the impression that there are any practical uses for brine, at least not at that scale.

12 hour shifts certainly isn’t helping any either.

Hmm… Lower Decks tends to deal as reverently to Trek stars as it does one time TNG minor characters.

For a minor character cameo… I think I’d like to see one of the TNG S1 chief engineers. I bet they have a story to tell about working on the Enterprise then.

For a major character cameo… how about Chakotay? I’d like to see the Protostar prior to its launch and tie forward instead of backwards.

Uncertain.

One of Biden’s campaign promises was student loan forgiveness, and while we can thank Republicans for gutting it in its tracks, pursuit of it didn’t really happen until it was advantageous with election season.

Likewise, Biden was initially against the rail strike, but seeing as unions have become a voter issue, it’s important to clean that image.

I’m glad Biden is supporting the Auto workers strike. But I want to see that support continue after it’s politically advantageous before I conclude he’s had a change of heart.

At almost a year later.

While I appreciate the change in tune, I’m certainly not taking this at face value after the rail strike.

Glad to see this show sprouting on another platform. Easily the most underrated Trek of the new era.

Lower Decks has been really good about that in general. SNW too for that matter.

Prodigy did dip into it, but there was plenty of build up and rarely dwelt in it for too long.

Hahaha!

In my defense, McMahan and his crew always give us something extraordinary that defies expectations. Cranky Lower Deckers who never developed into anything more seemed pedestrian by comparison.

Po-tay-to

Po-tah-to?

The article keeps mentioning a “glimmer of hope” but that glimmer is just surviving or getting married on schedule.

I don’t know what they’re smoking.

We’ll need access to the style sheets, bare minimum. (Some robust systems grant this via admin panel, but normally it’s done via file system/template files.) So SFTP access would be appreciated. Also, do you know if the wiki/Lemmy has a concept of restricting theme use by role?
