I’ve only glanced at the technical manual, but I must’ve missed the part about the tankers. Makes sense and isn’t far off from my assumption about generating it at starbases and refueling ships when they’re docked.

On-board antimatter generation is possible, but is extremely inefficient, consuming 10 units of deuterium to produce one unit of antimatter, and is generally a last-resort option.

That part I do recall. Which is why I was thinking that, in Voyager’s case with it being a more advanced ship, that the efficiency might have possibly improved to the point it was viable as a primary source. Or maybe “stranded 75,000 light years from home” counts as a last resort and why they seem to ration their deuterium supply.

I like this stuff a lot - I think it makes the universe seem a bit grittier and less “magical” - and it’s a shame we never really get to see it.

Agreed. Deuterium can be collected from just about anywhere in space (nebulae being the most useful), dilithium is mined, but antimatter is just “there” as far as on-screen explanations go.

glorify the rich & exploitation/objectification of women for massive profits.

I get it. I almost feel like some of that was both lampshading the practice as well as exploiting it. Every time that would come up Maya would have commentary on it.

They also mention Trump several times.

Yeah, that made a modern-day rewatch kind of difficult. I intentionally skipped those parts. Having re-watched several old shows somewhat recently, sadly, the orange T-bag comes up quite a bit. Just is what it is (or was what it was?).

Also ignore my other comment. I accidentally hit submit before I had anything typed out lol.

So true. And I’m confident it’s not just nostalgia making me think that.

Literally my first thought every time I see David Cross in any role (past or present).

My 'shop skills are terrible, so just use your imagination:

Dennis (as Worf): I am not a merry man.

All of them. Let’s make Danny DeVito the next Jeffrey Combs.

Good memory!

Glad my instance isn’t either :)

Though it’s pretty quiet with .world and quite a few others being down.

It’s pretty great and mostly holds up.

How dare they not screw over their customers?

Gawd. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t around here.

I’m pretty sure it’s that Dwazoup bot (?) and they’re just spraying out posts.

Is that the plugin that blocks the increasingly unfunny clock memes in c/ProgrammerHumor?

You’ve got a payphone you’re trying to setup? That’s awesome! I’ve always wanted something like that, but I would have to be able to make it actually work.

Currently I got hold of an old 1950’s wall-mounted rotary phone and it’s hooked to a Bluetooth adapter that makes it work via my cell phone.

The “Romulan Comfort Zone” sounds like a Romulan spa that’s also a Romulan black site.

As a Trekkie, I’d be more mad about that ending than the series finale of ENT. And if the Xenomorph finale turned out to be a holodeck program, I would probably hate it even more lol.

Not throwing shade. As a standalone story or alternate continuity, Id totally read it. But I would be livid if it was the actual finale to TNG.

Also, Strange New Worlds kind of did that with the Gorn.

Corrosion is definitely a red flag, but that looks like just surface corrosion. Just from the picture, it doesn’t look deep, but it would need to be removed from the breaker and inspected to be sure.

If the issue is “downstream” of the meter, then it’s 100% the property owner’s problem. Unfortunately, the only options you have are to hire an electrician yourself or keep prodding your landlord until they take responsibility.
