No.

Chief O’Brien visited the ship, so the universe did its thing.

He’s completely normal in the IDW comics. 😉

Honestly, I kind of want Kirk to stay dead regardless of how they do it.

For battery life, I’d recommend you install CoreCtrl so you can adjust your power settings. That, combined with a few other things (I think the Arch Wiki covers most of them) allows me to get quite a lot out of my Thinkpad in Debian.

Why does that lock oddly like the iOS 10 default background?

Open Street Maps

Start your impulse engines.

I like OpenStreetMaps’s solution. (Though you’ll have to dig a little - they don’t show names for large bodies of water like that by default.)

I do admit that while I found the plot ridiculous, I did find the character’s story interesting. It’s hard to go wrong with holodeck episodes, honestly.

I though of an interesting story based on that where from childhood, someone accidentally lives an entire simulated life based on the real world 20-40 years in the past and becomes a Starfleet officer in the simulation (down to a fake 4 years at the Academy, maybe with holo Boothby). The holodeck then gets shut off by real Starfleet officers. Besides the obvious emotional story, it would also be interesting if the simulation was accurate enough that the person’s experience made the captain decide to make them a provisional officer at the end of the episode.

I guess you can always remember the skin balloon from Doctor Who… unless you’ve never watched Doctor Who, in which case forget I ever said anything.

If you go to their website, there is a picture of a Tendi, but it is mildly terrifying. You have been warned.

I’ve had a good time with my Thinkpad E16 Gen 1 over the past few months (definitely lower spec than your machine - pretty much all of them have only an iGPU). A lot of them are still upgradable - I upgraded mine from 8GB of RAM to 24GB, and the thing had dual drive bays, so I just left the stock 256GB Windows drive and put in a 2TB alongside it for Linux stuff.

As long as you have a recent kernel, hardware support is decent, so long as you avoid the models with Realtek (my E16 does have Realtek, but I managed to smooth out issues).

Meanwhile in that timeline, the butterfly effect causes Harry Kim to pursue the command track; he graduates early in 2369. Then he:

• Becomes captain Vendome-style 2370
• Somehow does so well on his first command that he hits admiral in 2375
• Keeps worming up the admiral ranks
• Is tapped as head of Starfleet operations in 2378.
• Becomes Federation president in 2390 (all that Mars and Romulan crap sort of got butterflied out)
• Right near the end of his second term in 2398, he accidentally ascends to godhood.
• Maintains peace and order from a distance in the universe over the centuries.
• Becomes supreme master of the multiverse several millennia later (well, one of them, anyway. They have shifts, or at least the non-linear equivalent.). In his ultimate omnipotent Kim wisdom, he sends several “lesser” Kims the way of one William Boimler to aid him on his quest to save reality.

All hail Tapestry timeline Kim!

In the words of the wise doctor (and, funny enough, the Memory Alpha quote on the page for the class): “I didn’t spend 7 ing years on a g d** Oberth to get knocked down to station physician!”

I would agree season 3 is a great season.

I agree that the species was doomed, but I still feel like repeating a grief story was a bit insane.

You forgot “City on the Edge of Forever”, unless you meant late 20th century.

Yeh. I’d imagine at least in urban areas, they’d be reclaimed. In more unpopulated areas, I could see them becoming hiking/biking trails, or maybe just being left intact in some places for the few hobbyist car drivers left. (I mean, Kirk’s stepfather owned a Corvette in the Kelvin films, though that had Nokia product placement for some reason. We’ll just say that temporal cold war stuff allowed Nokia to last a bit longer and make car accessories, and that this is still a very old stereo.)

I just wish there were no mysterious threats…
