Re: Use of transporters and shields

I kinda wisht why established that it is basically a matter of chance in universe if you can or can't. Maybe show us what happens if you fail to get pass shields? Me too. Offhand we only really see or at least hear what happens when the transporters fail/or not sophisticated enough. TMP and that on...

Re: So, I Rewatched The Phantom Menace Last Week

I'll never warm up to Attack of the Clones though no matter how much time has past. I think I'd watch either of the last two sequel films over sitting through that again, and the only reason it's not the worst film is because the Clone Wars cartoon pilot with Jabba's son Stinky got a theatrical rel...

Re: So, I Rewatched The Phantom Menace Last Week

Mentioning Phantom Menace versus the SF-17 Bomber. If you take the concept of put out new vehicles just to sell new toys then there is a current of idea. But name a Lucas era vehicle people do not want or think is total trash? N1, nope that was cool and sleek. Snow speeder, not great but creative pi...

Re: Something I want to share

You may have just heard of puberty blockers, precisely because they don't concern you, but they've been used for decades to treat children with Precocious Puberty. They are well studied, safe, and hteir effects ar reverseable. And nobody is "forcing" childrent to take them. Children *choose* to tak...

Re: Something I want to share

I'm not a liberal, but I'm perfectly willing to answer anyone's questions about transgender children. They just might not like the answers. You seem to come off more liberal than others. But in the name of discussion, here goes. Most of the alphabet soup category I just do not care about. A persons...

Re: Discussing the StarFortress SF-17 Bombers from The Last Jedi aka WHERE THE HELL ARE THE Y-WINGS?!?!

My first thought is merchandising. New movies need new clothes and new toys to sell. But honestly I think I see more prequel stuff than sequel stuff. Heck more Mandalorian items than sequel stuff. The stated point of the SF-17 was to evoke the battles with the B17. Except the B17 was not that slow, ...

Re: The FTC Just Banned Non-Compete Agreements.

Always wondered how tf those were legal. My understanding is it was for understandable reasons. My company has a special way to make this one of a kind product. You do not get hired, learn that method, then sell it to the highest bidder. Was the idea. Basically to keep proprietary secrets. Sometime...

Re: Transphobia is just repackaged homophobia

Wait, why 18 for guns? Isn't the rule for those still twelve for a hunting license? I've seen scaled down .22s for six year olds to learn on, although that's pushing it even for me (learned at 10). Good point, voting should be 16. That was inconstent. Guns was not a legal thing. I had no use for a ...

Re: Transphobia is just repackaged homophobia

Thank you, that gives me a what. A very thought provoking what. But why? I mean from context it would be to assist transition? It's mostly used to "buy time" in a manner of speaking. Say you got a boy-child, aged 10. Puberty hasn't hit yet, but will inevitably do soon. The boy has expressed in some...
