Apparently my body is on a 26 hour day because it’s not in the mood at all during the current 24 hours.

I’ve never used Piefed, so I have so many questions:

Does it do that by default? Is it something you can toggle on/off? Why would anyone want it to do that? Is it healthy for the Fediverse to half self-destructing content?

There’s sound?!

I saved mine for 20 minutes, finally saw my chance, and was immediately slapped down by Purple lol.

Heh, I just watched “The Search” the other day which is actually what inspired this meme. The thought did cross my mind that “Seska” could be T’Rul wearing a Cardassian mask wearing a Bajoran mask.

LOL, yes.

She did, but the Seska episodes were the only Kazon episodes that I enjoyed from the early seasons of Voyager.

I wonder what trek would be like if they’d only ever had shuttles.

The Orville lol

ENT is definitely one of my top 3 Treks. Wasn’t perfect, but I just really like the “everything is new and experimental” aspect of it. That, and the early episodes having to solve problems without relying on the transporters or having to hand-wave away why they can’t use them.

Sometimes clunky problems require simple solutions lol. I couldn’t figure out any other way to represent Pa’nar syndrome in a still.

Adding a few more

Do people just forget that tact is a thing that exists?

I downloaded one and I still want to support the author so I have no issue with buying it on sale.

Same. Not with A Stitch in Time but two of the PIC tie-in novels weren’t available without DRM. So I bought them full price and “Rules of Acquisition’d” DRM-free versions from elsewhere. My conscience is clean.

Yeah, A Stitch in Time was what started the search. Just over $100 seems like a bargain when I was seeing the used paperbacks listed over $200 on Amazon lol. So I went with the ebook copy.

I think I paid $10.99 for it last year, and it’s $8.99 now. If you are interested in more, create an account and add them to your wish list. They will randomly go on sale with no notice. I got several that were normally like $12.99 for $1.99 just by catching them on sale when I checked back on my lists.

I’ve been getting all of mine from there. If the title is available without DRM, it’s noted in the listing, and you can straight-up just download a clean epub file once you’ve bought it. That’s everything I’ve always wanted from an ebook store.

It’s like reading an extended episode of ST.

Very much that. Mine are all ebooks but I’m starting to build a nice collection. Thankfully I can get most of them DRM-free so they’re actually mine. Best I can tell, the publisher will release them DRM-free approx. 5 years after they’re published.

Good thing there’s still a large backlog of Trek novels I haven’t read yet. Not really a consolation prize or silver lining, but it’s at least something.

Only in spirit. At this point in my life, my lack of tattoos is my own tattoo.

Only if the USB Implementation Forum doesn’t get a chance to name it. Otherwise, it’d be something like DNA 3 2.0 Super Speed

I did a post a while back asking for recommendations, so I’ll link that since there’s some good ones: https://startrek.website/post/28030285

My favorites of what I’ve read so far:

• A Stitch in Time
• Deep Space Nine: Millennium (trilogy)
• Star Trek: Destiny (Trilogy)
• Cold Equations (Trilogy)

I’ve read 4 out of the 5 Star Trek: Picard tie-in novels, and they’re all excellent (though the Riker one is the weakest but not bad).

• The Last Best Hope: Prequel to Picard S1 and fills in so many blanks that were missing in the show. Picard and Raffi are the main focus.
• Second Self: Set between PIC S1 and S2, features Raffi as the main character.
• Firewall: Set after PIC S1 with flashbacks to shortly after Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant. Seven of Nine is the main character.
• The Dark Veil: Set After PIC S1, features Riker and the Titan.

Honorable Mentions:

• Q-Squared: If you like Q and Trelane antics
• Q-in-Law: I’m struggling to get through the first few chapters of this one, but it was recommended so I’m going to power through lol.

I bought it (ebook) and read it last year. It was my gateway drug into the TrekLit universe :)
