/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

"Kramer, what's going on in there?"

"It's the nacelles, Jerry! They're right across from my window!"

"Well can't you shut the shades?"

"They are shut."

I was wondering why not Seinfeld.

Nice. And I just learned paramount plus does not allow screen shots.

6:56 in on s4e2, or 21:30 in for the dimming.

I would just like to point out how asinine and dystopian it is that Paramount has the power to dictate what they "allow" you to do with your property. What gives them the right to sabotage your computer against you?

True but this is common practice for all DRM-protected content. Netflix is the same way. Solution: get drm-free copies

Lowerdecks did such a great joke about this

"Boimler, meanwhile, approaches his new quarters with eager anticipation. As soon as he enters, though, his eyes are assaulted by the bright, lurid red glow of the port bussard collector. He attempts to reassure himself that it'll just take some getting used to, even as his pupils shrink into pinholes."

And then Tendi shows him he could just adjust the window to block the red light lol
