Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

  • What are some of the biggest continuity errors in Star Trek?

  • Obviously you're going to cloak the facility where you keep your most hardened criminals.

  • Doctor Who Announcement Teased After Reports of the Christmas Special's Delay

    Jump

  • Yeah, I just find it weird that even when they're able to license the classic series internationally, they're licensing it out to third parties, rather than the streamer they've licensed the new stuff to.

    I had to watch the Sutekh and Rani episodes on Tubi, of all places.

  • Here is also the post with the arrival that I didn’t cross-post here because I wasn’t sure it was related to this comm. I think this one is also a bit on the off-topic side

    Strong disagree - stuff like this is a core pillar of a healthy community.

    And hey, if you ever have any non-Trek projects that you think Trekkies might nevertheless find interesting...well, that's exactly why c/quarks exists.

    And kudos for this. I could never have the patience.

  • One would think.

    But then I still don't understand why they're keeping the classic and "New Who" licenses separate, so I'm obviously a terrible businessman.

  • CRTC orders streamers to pay 15% of revenues to Canadian content

    Jump

  • I think that was just the Digital Services Tax, which applied to a lot more than just online streamers. This is related to the Online Streaming Act.

    I do wonder if its increase is being set up as a bargaining chip for the CUSMA talks, though.

  • I choose to believe someone in the band is one of us.

    We should be so lucky as to associate with those genius weirdos.

  • South Korea’s Hanwha to use Algoma Steel material to build military vehicles in Canada

    Jump

  • The deal is contingent on Hanwha winning the lucrative bid to build Canada’s next generation submarine fleet.

    The Korean and German bids both look pretty strong to this dummy. I have no idea how this is going to shake out.

    I read somewhere about how South Korea could really benefit from an expanded overseas manufacturing arrangement, which makes sense considering their geopolitical, uh, situation.

  • In the newer content, things are scaled up to about 150% of normal size, which seems to me like a pretty good balance between accuracy and playability.

    The older content? Not so much...

  • Thousands are now Canadians under new citizenship law. Half of them are Americans

    Jump

  • Oh maybe - I just gave it a passing glance and focused on

    You’re not automatically a Canadian citizen if you

    marry a Canadian citizen

    I wouldn't be surprised at all if there's an expedited path to residency.

  • CFL signs six-year broadcast agreements with Bell Media and DAZN; YouTube named platform partner in 2027

    Jump

  • Under the new agreement, TSN will broadcast 60 regular-season games (three per week), six playoff games, and the Grey Cup. The network will remain the sole home of Thursday Night Football and Friday Night Football — products that were created by the CFL on TSN in 2015 and 1997, respectively. The Grey Cup will also be simulcast on CTV and Crave, bringing it to terrestrial television and streaming.

    RDS, also a Bell affiliate, will remain the exclusive French-language broadcaster of the CFL, airing all Montreal Alouettes games, 25 marquee matchups throughout the regular season, all playoff games, and the Grey Cup.

    ...

    In Canada, DAZN will become the home of Saturday Night Football, as well as the Saturday night playoff game in each of the first two rounds of the league’s new playoff format. The streaming service will also be the league’s new global broadcaster, exclusively carrying games outside Canada and the United States — including the full regular-season, playoffs, and Grey Cup.

    Splitting the domestic games across platforms is just plain annoying.

  • Programmable matter!?

    Jump

  • It was only recently that I learned that programmable matter has been a (theoretical) concept for decades - pretty cool if there have been some new developments in the field.

  • I play a lot of NMS. I don't know if it's going to scratch your specific itch, but it's a lot of fun if you can get on its level.

  • I'm definitely there for the storylines - it's pretty much a single-player game as far as I care. And I don't have a lot of time for the min/maxers, either.

    The company has gone through a rough patch with the Embracer nonsense, but we generally get a new story mission every 3-4 months.
