/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.

"Kelvins" just feels wrong, but apparently is correct? (looking it up, seems like it's right) It still feels the same as if you'd say "200 Fahrenheits" or "140 Celciuses".
Celsius and Fahrenheit are both degrees units, meaning they're scaled off of some arbitrary temperature. 20°C means 20 Celsius units away from Celsius 0.
Kelvin isn't scaled. 0 Kelvin means there's no temperature energy at all. So there's no need to couch it in degrees, since it isn't arbitrary but a defined scale with an absolute zero point.
I always assumed it was like Fish. No change in the plural.
No change necessary, but fishes is a perfectly acceptable and correct plural of fish, and so much more fun to say!
I'm a big fan of mooses. I think they're large enough to deserve the extra letters.
I prefer "meese", myself
Meesin?
1 degree, 2 degrees. 1 kelvin, 2 kelvins
