This is how dictators exist. The valuables they are stealing from their country get reinvested not just to their personal enrichment but also enriching those people key to keeping them in power, from bodyguard to security departments that spend most of their time monitoring citizens for wrong think.

It would be a mistake to send this amount of material. We should double the shipment. Hell, triple it.

Some of us made the mistake of becoming teachers

Sorry, I’m too old for club penguin.

DS9 did have a few battles take advantage of 3D space but not to the degree or time WoK gives it. Sisco using the mirror-verse Defiant against Mirror Worfs Neg’Vhar. Comes to mind, or how the Klingons in general would ‘dive’ onto Dominion ships from odd angles during set piece battles.

Can’t tell if this comic just doesn’t get it or put zero thought into it. And there is several examples throughout the various series where two ships don’t align to each other.

There are several reasons why the ships would always face each other, from common courtesy to defensive posturing.

When two ships face each other its like an nonverbal way of saying “we see you” or “you have our attention”. Orientation also plays apart in this. Of course there is no real reason to orient so both ships face “up” thanks to artificial gravity, but it’s also something that could be seen as polite and etiquette as getting on the same level as the other meeting them half way.

For defensive purposes, it also makes sense to nose towards a potential threat or adversary as within star trek the shields are strongest at the front (thanks to deflectors and navigational shielding) as well as the best/most accurate sensors to get a good reading. Additionally the forward arc of the ship will likely have the most overlapping weapon arcs, especially for ships like klingon bird of preys with fixed disruptor cannons facing forwards. This posture also tends to keep primary engineering, where the reactor/warp core is situated, obscured and defended, so if the ship wants to make a swift retreat their primary means of doing so is less likely to be damaged or disabled, and if you engage an FTL retreat towards a foes rear that foe needs to turn about and reorient themsevles to give chase, giving more time for the retreating party to take evasive action and avoid further intercepts.

There are industrial accidents, like fossil fuel plants catching fire and/or exploding, with more casualties than every nuclear ‘disaster’ combined.

Military Service Members do not have diplomatic immunity nor are they exempt from host nation laws and ordinances.

The OG Japanese series had a few extended sequences of just the dino robots, though even that was mostly focused on the red rangers T. Rex.

I was equally confused as a kid talking about how Harry and friends would have a row in the common room, and me trying to figure out why the hell do Wizards have boats inside.

Only on high ways. They have all the required features (lights, seatbelts, indicators) to be legal on roads, only two states have official bans on their use for roads with speed limits faster than 55mph. But I don’t think any sane person is buying these things for long distance commutes, those that would would just buy a smart car instead.

I don’t know that Law Enforcement possess the skill and know how to establish a settlement on their own but I like your thinking, friend!

If memory serves, the Obama administration (the one far right was screaming for 8 years was going to take away all the guns) specifically looked at bump stocks and said they were legal.

Trump freaked out at the Las Vegas shooting and pushed the ban ASAP.

"Take away their guns and worry about the due process later”

I can only assume they are somehow expecting a cut or kickback from this, I can’t think of anything he’s done in the last 10 years that was actually good for the company. You have to live under a rock, or more accurately in an echo chamber, to believe someone like this is good for the profitability of a company, let alone deserves that many zeros.

Only reason he won the primary in 2020. Idealists don’t do well against fascists but moderates are inoffensive enough to

Taken control of the funding? Who do you think the funding comes from?! Furries spend money on this shit.

Not giving aid to Ukraine when they needed it most was GOP playing a fucking game. US should have taken this seriously and intervened in Feb 22 when they knew this shit was going to happen weeks before Russia launched their stupid invasion.

Been seeing a lot of power rangers content lately… Did someone die?!

Dyson swarm goes brrrt.

I know it’s not killing the sun, but we’d be hogging up all that sunlight from other planets in the solar system.

A proper BMI actually does account for muscle mass by determining how much fat you have on various parts of your body, typically measured with calipers or similar.

Had an instructor demonstrate how two guys roughly the same height and general physcal size had different BMIs where one was around 16% body fat and the other 25%

TL;DR height and weight to calculate BMI is just as inaccurate as someone taking your pulse for 6 seconds to determine your blood pressure.
