buy a local product instead, the retailer will be fine.

only this episode.

when you say lens, do you mean cornea? i thought most myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism was caused by problems with the shape of the cornea.

ok, i looked up this treatment, and it says “animal tissue tests”, not “animal tests”, so i suspect the rabbits are long past the point of being bothered :|

pointing out that you are making things up is not “frothing at the mouth”.

making things up, wildly exaggerating is more like that.

in short : no u

Hell even Stargate SG-1 had a weird puppet episode.

no it didn’t, it had one very short segment in a brilliant episode, you’re exaggerating a crazy amount.

if you’re posting about diversity being a negative, you’ve totally missed the point of all Star Trek since 1966.

Cloaking devices do seem to be very plug-and-play across starship types.

Scotty gets a Romulan cloak to work on the Enterprise. The Enterprise-D crew quickly adapt a phasing cloak designed for a different class of starship. The Titan-A uses the Klingon cloak from the Bounty.

in TOS, so several years after this episode, M’Benga knows to repeatedly slap Spock in the face to get him out that week’s Vulcan bullshit.

it’s a reliable treatment!

Was it shown as connected Ent-D style? That makes sense for the D, we can see the room and windows from the outside, but the SNW conference room is huge, much bigger than the D’s, where could it fit in the 1701 dash nothing’s saucer-top dome?

I guess they have TARDIS-like “bigger on the inside” tech now, given Pike’s half-acre quarters and the ludicrous outside-the-turbolift scene in the Q&A Short Trek.

(not a grumpy old trekkie, honest, i generally love SNW)

ehh, that doesn’t fit with Julian Bashir, the treatment to relieve his learning impairments was illegal, so his father went for the enhancement package because that wasn’t extra illegal on top.

i guess Scotty’s comment while transporting about not wanting to jumble up Pike and M’Benga was a nod to this.

perhaps that Delta quadrant flower is a distant cousin of the Chimera blossom.

sure, true. like the roman empire and roman catholic church are why so many places use latin’s letters today. due to printing decisions from a tiny ruling class only, not the general population actually speaking those languages. again, using the character set does not mean languages are mutually intelligible, heck look at modern vietnamese all in roman letters.

earlier, weren’t you, correctly, pushing back against jaschen306’s overblown claim that this means “japan and korea spoke chinese”, when we both know it was a second language for the elite class only?

No. Japanese people cannot read Chinese, and vice versa, any better than Europeans can read each others languages by guessing from similar-looking words. Usually worse because Chinese and Japanese are whole different language families, less related than most European languages. Sure, Banqiao and Itabashi cities both have the same “wood bridge” name written down, and trivial things like that, but the claim I was responding to was that using Chinese characters meant that Japanese and Koreans spoke Chinese, (the parent claimant’s actual words a couple of messages before), which is ludicrous.

No, not at all. This is is like saying most countries speak Latin because they use Roman letters.

It would not be difficult to find an American who doesn’t understand “curry” is food.

i refuse to believe this.

when the long german flag was steadily getting longer, i thought, “hmm, what might stop germans advancing eastward?” and placed the polish and czechoslovak (identical to modern czech) flags in their path.

it only stopped them for a while, (but they did go underneath instead of overwriting)

those states, Assam and beyond are called the Seven Sisters, and Sikkim is often included too as the One Brother.

not on-screen, and I don’t know if later comics or anything else told the story of where Atlantis went after spoiler but presumably yes - they still had several 304-class ships which could make the journey back to Pegasus, and those journeys had already become routine. It was never mentioned in SG Universe.
