EDIT: as someone in the comments realised, it's not california but miranda class

I didn't recognise it at first tbh. As always I could give you the instruction as pdf if you didn't manage to get one of the advent calendars

I’ve recently been looking through this unbelievably detailed list/history of the chairs appearing in all the different Trek series/movies. Thought you all might enjoy!

It should also be found at the official site, but the actual clip doesn't seem to be working right now.

Yes, I will litteraly post this every day now. Also I could scan the instructions with my printer if anyone want's to build them to

Whenever there's a storyline with quark, they talk about money/latinum.

I remember in one of the next gen episodes that there was discussion about money and Picard said something about how they've moved away from money.

So do Starfleet get paid now?

Update: thank you for the quick responses. From what I'm gathering the tldr is that the following is the answer

• Ferengi love for money/not being a post scarcity society by design
• Bajorans being so near their slavery times and not post scarcity yet
• Quark creating an atmosphere of camaraderie/gambling/upgraded replicators/actual food

All this requires some form of currency.

Of course the real-world reason is that it's cheaper to shake the camera and set off a firecracker than to build a scale model just to paint a burn scar on the side.

But my thoughts were always that the in-universe reason had to do with the modular nature of federation starships.

In almost every episode, someone on a starship either suggests rerouting something, shunting power from one thing through another, bypassing something, compensating for one power source with another etc.

It seems that in space, being able to re-configure everything at a moment's notice is important, and to be able to do that, you need easy, fast and direct, access to everything, therefore it needs to be immediately accessible, ergo high voltage power directly behind the controls.

The lack of seatbelts goes right along with it. If a console blows up in someone's face, the next guy over needs to be able to quickly move down and take over. Don't need to have to be fighting with seatbelts when nobody is steering the ship.

I don't know why they don't have safety glasses however....

Super cool to get a feel for just how massive even the pre-refit Constitution class is.

I don't know whether this is an unpopular opinion or not but I actually think that the way Tasha Yar died gave the show much higher stakes throughout it's entire run. Here is the chief security officer, main bridge crew, tragic back story, potential love interest for the robot character just slapped down by the monster of the week. It made all the subsequent dangerous situations seem much more dire because "they were willing to kill off someone in the main cast". I also think that Yesterday's Enterprise was an awesome send off for that character that let them have a heroic ending for her after all.

It was a shame because I think Denise Crosby could have been awesome as a recurring character and in my opinion, we didn't get a great strong female character in the main cast (until DS9 which is an embarrassment of riches in that department). But I maintain that casually killing off Tasha Yar made my first watchthrough of TNG much more exciting.

I don't however like the additional stretch of her half-romulan daughter. It's pretty soap-opera-ish in my opinion and tarnishes the heroic sacrifice of her character.

I wasn't even aware of Lemmy when I wrote this. I only joined yesterday, but not for the intent of promoting my pieces. I don't monetize them, so there's that. Aside from book work, this is one of the longest pieces I've ever written, and I write about a range of subjects. I hope you all like it :)

To the Trill with the license to thrill, happy 60th birthday!

His birth father died when Brent was less than a year old, so he took his adopted father's name "Mintz" from 1955-1975 before finally reverting back to "Spiner."

AFAIK Spiner wasn't actually a photographer as he claimed, but a stage actor living in NYC at the time. Twelve years after the above appearance, he moved to LA and began playing a recurring character on Night Court, "Bob Wheeler," as well as other roles.

This game show is definitely showing its age, and I do find it amusing that they used not just such an ordinary-looking host, but one who also looked about ready for the retirement home. But he does in fact do a fine job I think, and the show itself has a very interesting premise, one in which a panel must try to pick between two imposters and a genuine person.
