Oh, the Eclipse. Yeah, the ship that the rebels stole and then blew up?
Federation captains deal with Q, some on a regular basis. Palpatine can somehow he came back against a being that is everything he wishes he was.

Star Trek has vastly better sensors, shielding, weapons and science.
Sensors: they can detect the atmosphere and cargo inside a ship as well as how many individuals are in it. SW can’t detect when an entire ship has docked to the hull.
Science: and then they can beam a person out of it. They can screw with any technology while transporting too.
Shielding: ISDs and Death Star can’t keep fighter and the millennium falcon from running around inside their shield envelope. Federation shields give them the option to block crafting from passing.
Weapons: They made bombs that break space itself, and then apparently almost everyone agreed to ban them because its a stupidly dangerous idea.
Science 3: Genesis Device. Oh great you can destroy a planet. The Federation can create an entire solar system with a bomb.
Science 4: Federation developed a matter phasing cloak. Romulans made personal cloaks.
The only advantage the Empire has is numbers of ISDs. Even then, if the empire makes the wrong move they’ll piss off the Dominion or the Borg, and the empire literally can’t touch the borg.
Please don’t create straw man arguments.
I never said cold turkey or abstinence. I said “no drug use in the free apartment.”
No. The rehab is free.
Province is even putting people up in apartments.
Only rule is: no drugs in the apartment and you enroll in a free rehab program. 80% are turning it down willingly.
Oh yeah, its his party, he’s just the face.
It’s the offshoot of the same party that led Albert Einstein to distance himself from the concept of Israel back in the late 1940s.
Also, allegedly that most of the reason Hamas got to execute their October 7th plot in the first place was that Bibi had all of those soldiers off intimidating the judges that were overseeing his multiple criminal trials
You realize that Netenyahu and his fascist Likud party are the ones responsible for eliminating democracy in Israel?
Sir Terry Pratchett.
A phenomenal author whose ability to weave a story is fantastic, but was also adept at writing in jokes and references that make re-reading the novels a delight.
For Canadians, Environment Canada has a fantastic app called WeatherCan that includes all of the usuals, has doppler radar for all of North America with the option for a one or three hour loop.
It also includes alerts from Environment Canada for any location you’ve added and links to the marine weather forecast site.
1TB can be Recommended Chrome Ram?
Mar-A-Lago is in Florida.
The golf course that was at risk is one in New York State.
I think it might be the one that his head lawyer(Alina Habba) conned a victim of years long sexual assault by her(the victim) manager to accept a shitty deal that forces the victim into silence and to accept a fraction of what she is owed. Which, incidentally, is how she became his head lawyer.
At what point is a sauce not a curry, soup or drink?
Bug your indian friends by calling Ketchup a tomato curry.
Live your life and enjoy what you can.
Be glad that you got to experience what you did.
If you have the funds, go tour things we know are vanishing, so that you at least have a living memory of them.
Sorry, I wasn’t implying Sulu was gay. I meant for him as an actor.
Discovery is a great Sci fi, but not that good at being Trek IMO, and didn’t really respect the rest of Trek. It’s better now that they moved it to the future of Trek where it’s tech level makes sense, and there isn’t a littany of other media in the same time period.
The first seasons of Picard were weird because it felt that it was more about other characters, and the TNG characters were more there for fan service to trick the fans into watching.
Lower Decks and SNW are fantastic.
After he did his AMA on reddit he took a look around and stated something along the lines of it having “too much of the bad internet” and didn’t stick around.
Also he’s Canadian and not from the Prairies, so unlikely to be alt-right. His biggest flaw I’ve heard of in a few places is that he “works to rule” in the union sense. He does things that make him money WRT his fandom and his acting.
E.g. the big fallout he had with George Takei was because in his eyes, Takei as a person would benefit more from Sulu staying on the Enterprise and playing more in the movie, because more screen time equals more cash.
Takei took the minor role because it made sense for Sulu as a character, as well as personally the representation of a Japanese (and then closeted gay man) as the captain of a starship.
Garak absolutely has the skill and resources to do it without the death note(see the whole romulan senator thing). Moreover, his dad would see it as cheating and probably disapprove.
I think he’d tease Dukat that he has it, pretend to destroy it in front of Dukat, then in the Dominion invasion he’d kill “The Great Link.”
Alternatively: Garak calls Dukat every now and then just to tear pages out and throw them away.
They’ve been trying for at least 30 years, probably closer to 50-60 TBH.
One of the concepts they(RIAA/MPAA) were looking into for the entire CD/DVD era was the idea of a time-limited disk that would only work for a short period of time before becoming unreadable.
By the time they got it working, Steam was already a thing and distribution through physical media was on the way out.
Now they control movie theaters through streaming. They stream the movies to the theaters, the theaters rarely get physical or even digital copies anymore. It just gets streamed right to the projector.
watches as the EU does nothing to rein in Google for worse abuse than MS ever tried.
As far as I understand it though, their hyperspace is the same as ST’s subspace network used by the Borg. It’s very fast, but it only works on existing lanes. So while theoretically a SW ship is faster, it’s only if they’re using a known route. Which only exist in their galaxy.
Unlike ST though, SW ships can’t map out hyperspace paths with sensors but have to do so manually via manned ship.
