Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Ga.) repeated social media claims that humans can control the weather — in the midst of a series of deadly hurricanes — is too much for some of her colleagues to handle."

You just need to decouple your tachyon emitters from the positronic relay and reroute some of the hyper-coolant from your warp core to the phase compensators. Pretty sure that either controls hurricanes or creates a black hole, one of the two.

That's actually a dangerous misconception. Decoupling the tachyon emitters from the positronic relay without first isolating their quantum harmonics could destabilize the entire subspace field matrix and cause an exponential thermal feedback loop. Best case scenario is a massive thermal overload. Worst case is a catastrophic core breach resulting in a high energy failure. Are you TRYING to get us all killed?

I have a theoretical doctorate in physics, obviously

This person it correct.

I have a username on Lemmy, before you ask.

Scotty would say it would take 4 hours but that he'll be able to get it done in 2 and then finish up in 1 hour and have an hour to himself.

That's how you know he's a miracle worker

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Spoken like a true engineer

This is clearly not a Starfleet approved procedure because at no time did you reverse the polarity

[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago

They didn't even bother with a phase shift smh

[–] RatsOffToYa@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Hey you! Back to TenForward!

[–] Volkditty@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

You gonna do all that without even reversing the polarity of the deflector dish? Your funeral, man.

I'm pretty sure they just need the Rockwell Retro Encabulator to reduce that side fumbling.

Do you mean Guy? He doesn't even have a last name!
