I think lighting is a lot of this, but I also think that the facial performer may dictate this a littler too, they may have lost the performer between eps and tweaked the model to the replacements to make mapping motions easier.

I am predicting this is the place where Section 31 and Rule 34 first collide in a big way.

B-Dunks’ performance is masterful in Threshold. It’s every hammy instinct one could muster up, but with production value. The tongue scene alone is amazing.

A decent point, but each of those ships were from realities where the Cerritos is that class. Just as there are Klingons who never left Quo’nos or never evolved past proto-Klingons and those crews and ships were affected by the reality waves to reveal them.

I think there is a reality within which the Klingons evolved slightly differently and developed a slightly different culture, but remain close enough that we don’t see major changes to the events of the Prime timeline.

Is it fair to assume that, by showing the Klingon turning Disco, that the implication is that Discovery exists in a reality almost identical to the Prime Timeline, but with differently evolved Klingons?

If so, it begs a question. Is there a Mirror Universe for every reality? Or do they all share one?

Oh my god, I can’t believe I’m about to have such a pedantic correction… But the company that make the Hotjo mugs used on DS9 is Highwave, not Hotwave.

Speaking as humble cop, it’s a good ticket, but the Brunt of their support comes from other Combses. The Weyou-negotiate an election needs a broader base. Look at the Agi campaign of 2020; people said after the debates Agimus-t shore up his support, instead it Shran-k. So far the Combses have run a good campaign but hardly the crème-de-la-Krem; they need to Plek-ate their critics. Anyway, I Tiron this subject, better get back to busting that sci-fi writer Benny’s chops. Yours, Officer Kevin Mulkahey

That’s a half-myth it seems. There was a write in campaign from the fans to rename the then tentatively named Constitution (in recognition of the 200th anniversary of the ratification of the US Declaration of Independence), to Enterprise. At the same time, Gerald Ford had the final say, and he himself served aboard the famous WW2 aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise (CV-6). It would appear that there is a confluence of two wishes to lead to the test vehicle being finally officially named the Enterprise. Certainly of recent years, NASA has seemed happy to not dispel that story though.

Some interesting tid-bits here though. The NCC-1701 was early on going to be named the USS Yorktown. Yorktown-class was the ship class of the CV-6 Enterprise. While we all know that the ship class of the NCC-1701 was the Constitution-class.

So, it’s my belief therefore that, in our timeline and Star Trek’s timeline, American men of a certain age seem to be obsessed with the symbolism of three particular names; and no matter what, the Shuttle would have been Enterprise in both.

Allamaraine!

I think this is a Brooklyn Nine-Nine reference.

Fun fact: The cockney rhyming slag for Cunt is Berkshire Hunt. This is also the root phrase for Berk; a gentle term, commonly used by old women in the UK to call people fools. “That Dave is such a berk!” As most people don’t know the origin of the word, it’s funny how many times you’ll hear someone called a Berk in a year, by people not realising it means Cunt.

I considered if I should instead there, but I didn’t feel this fell under meme or shitpost. Maybe I made the wrong call on that.

She is a rental for some specialist work where I couldn’t rely on my walking foot, but they offered to sell her to me, and it’s hard not to say yes. The thing is though she’s 160kg! If I buy her I’m forever committing to hiring help to move workshop (which I have to do 1-3 times a year).

Btw she’s a mid 70s LG-158, can be threaded up with two parallel needles, has a walking needle too, which is faster than the more modern 158s and leaves fewer “tracking” marks on leather and waxed cotton than my standard walking foot.

These were 110/19s, so very sturdy, but I think it’s the one two punch of the working parts crushing the bone, and the needle them piercing it. Needle would very likely break, but it would fuck my hand up in the process.
