King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•How did Nog go from not literally being able to read to outranking Harry Kim?English0·1 month agoDidn’t Wesley go to some special testing that had the geniuses competing for one specific seat. I recall he basically went there because there happened to be a particular available slot rather than just the general admission.
From the episode:
Captain’s log, stardate 41416.2. We’re orbiting Relva Seven, where Wesley Crusher is about to be tested for entrance into Starfleet Academy.
CHANG: I’m proud of all of you. You’ve done a superb job. Each of you would make a fine Starfleet officer. It’s unfair that only one candidate from Relva will attend the Academy this year, and a loss to the Federation if the rest of you do not return to test again. Mister Mordock will be the candidate. His results were slightly higher than Mister Crusher’s. Congratulations, Mister Mordock. You’re the first Benzite in Starfleet.
So I think it has much more to do with the timing of his attempt that mattered. Had he just waited with everyone else it wouldn’t have been such an intense competition

King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto Canada@lemmy.ca•Alberta teachers vote 95% in support of strikeEnglish18·2 months agoThey have a certain amount of time with this vote to actually do anything with it. The timing of this vote will allow them to negotiate over the summer with the mandate in their back pocket and have the actual strike potentially be in the fall as school is supposed to be coming back.
They do it now because it becomes really hard to organize a vote as soon as summer hits.

King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK about the GI Rights HotlineEnglish175·2 months agoI think it is actually generally short for “Government Issue” as a kinda a reference that they are government issue like everything else in a soldiers life

King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New PollEnglish12·3 months agoI disagree. He doesn’t love money. He covets the respect and power that he believes money brings with it and if forever angry that even with the presidency he can’t get the true respect he believes he is entitled to.
King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•So close, Data.English2·3 months agoI think they made up some bull about making him less human than Lore when he turned bad.
Can you think of any other way that seems likely?

King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026English21·3 months agohttps://gizmodo.com/plex-is-going-to-make-you-pay-for-its-best-free-feature-2000578442
From what I have been reading they are planning to charge all users who are streaming remotely… Even if the host is paying.
“If you want to watch you library away from home you’ll have to pay. It also affects anyone you share your home library with. They will have to pay if they are not Plex Pass subscribers themselves. Plex will offer a Remote Watch Pass tier for $2/month or $20/year.”
Now, I am not saying this is by any means a big amount of money or making a judgment call about the reasonableness of them charging for what services… But it definitely seems like they want to ensure they are getting cash from everyone who ever touches Plex. Again, $2 a month is very little, but that’s on top of the charges for the host

We have had this cancer for a very very long time. Up until the NDP won an election a few cycles back the way it tended to work was the only way to unseat a conservative government was with an even more conservative government.
King_Bob_IV@startrek.websiteto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•How would the Trill Symbiosis Commission handle duplicate symbionts?English0·7 months agoI think in the third case the symbiont wouldn’t be in Sto’Vo’Kor. It didn’t die. So a Jadzia returning would be without Dax. So then the question would be would she return with the Dax memories or not.
Curse you, now I have one on order… But thanks.
