I believe this depends on the state/local laws.

That’s the way we do things lads, we’re making shit up as we wish!

Starfleet Academy series is also in production.

I got glasses for the first time about 5 years ago. Since I work on a computer all day, I asked them to add the blue light blocking coating to help reduce eye strain (if you’re not familiar, it looks mostly clear but it has a very mild yellow tint). My frequency of getting migraines while working has dropped significantly.

I fully agree. In this vein, I also think that Romulans and Vulcans should prefer green-tinted lipstick rather than red. In a few episodes in DS9 they actually did this, but most of the time they just default to red and it really doesn’t feel right.

The game is already out, has been for a few months. It’s on Steam, Windows & Mac only.

The game is built on top of Stellaris, with all of the space empire building that entails. It is sort of in the same vein as Civ, but it’s more real time and not turn based, and lets you get more into the small details in some ways than Civ does.

This is true, and ultimately fighting is how Vorik’s Pon Farr is resolved as well. So there could also be a Vulcan fight club for those afflicted.

Vorik and Tuvok both claim the problem can be dealt with through meditation, but both of them also fail to resolve the issue in this way, so we don’t know if that’s actually an effective treatment.

There’s also lots of ways a Vulcan could end up single, not to mention we’ve seen at least two instances of Vulcans rejecting their arranged marriages (T’Pol and T’Pring), so there’s no guarantee any given Vulcan has a mate, despite their customs.

It did work for Tuvok, but not for Vorik, so not a totally effective solution.

The holodeck can work, but seems to be less than 100% effective. It worked for Tuvok, but not for Vorik.

It does seem to be primarily on an arranged marriage system, but there are plenty of exceptions. Pairings that don’t come together for some reason, partners that die either due to age or accident, etc.

Meditation had been shown to be less than effective (Tuvok and Vorik both tried and failed to use meditation to get through their Pon Farrs).

It seems that, in universe, something about Vulcan physiology also prevents medication from being particularly effective as well (also failed for both Tuvok and Vorik).

That’s very strange, I’ve looked at a few recipes and never seen alcohol as an ingredient. It usually is just coffee with some spices, usually including cinnamon.

Because of the rise of online stores and the decline of brick and mortar, there’s actually a lot of stuff you can’t reasonably get without shopping online now.

I don’t think it’s bad faith. You’re conceding a point to make the rest of your argument stronger.

To be fair, some companies seem to go out of their way when redesigning their software and websites to obfuscate basic features.

Oh, you want to change your profile picture? Obviously you go to Settings > Privacy > Verify Account > Profile Picture! It’s just the most logical place to put it!

Batteries?

One possibility I just thought of is the 24th century version of a vacuum tube system, but if that were the case I would expect them to be on key locations all over the ship (engineering, sick bay, the bridge, ready room, etc.) and I don’t think there are any others shown on the ship.

That’s actually not a bad thought. Some kind of special sample transporter is certainly a possibility. It would be easier to set up a containment field around the smaller platform.

It’s about the size of a replicator, so emergency use is probably not likely.
