Sorry, Shawn, I have my own job to do.

    Why do they look like toddlers standing in front of their parents with beshitted pants?

    Also, I welcome the recent uptick in Enterprise-posting.

      They’re in front of the warp core with the camera looking down from the top of it. The rest of the crew is asleep to protect them from a spacial anomaly, and Phlox needs to start the warp reactor to get them out of it (the anomaly expanded while they were transiting it). I think the camera angle is that way to make the warp core more intimidating.

      Spoiler

      Phlox is also tripping balls, lol, and T’Pol isn’t actually there.

        I know, just forgot how goofy they looked. That episode was a trip.

    Come on Shawn, you have to put in a little effort. If I ask “what have you tried” and the answer is “it doesn’t work” I’m going to start charging you.

      If the answer to “what have you tried?” is anything non-specific, I always take that to mean “nothing.” lol

    Well, it was a few years before the definitive text came out…

    Once, I cited a podcast to reference something I was saying and I got multiple responses from people telling me that podcasts are not sources and that it was not possible for them to verify what was said.

      I mean, I kind of agree with that?

      I guess it depends who’s doing the podcast and whether they’re an authoritative subject matter expert on the topic. Unless the podcast cites references on its page? (I’m not a big podcast guy lol).

        The podcasts I listen to (for news) generally cite their sources verbally. And to those commenters, that’s why it didn’t count. It would have required them finding the podcast and listening to it.

        The audio equivalent of “I ain’t reading that.”

          A bit like the equivalent of pointing that the source is in a random 5000 pages book collection, IDK exactly where.

          “I ain’t reading that” is the exact response you should get if you use videos or podcasts as a source, unless it’s a specific part of it and you add the timing instructions.

          Tbh as a source anything but text with possibly limited images and video is kinda garbage. As much as people don’t like to hear it. It’s easier to store and the information is at-least searchable. Often times I find audio and video is organized much much worse and doesn’t work very good as authoritative material. Unless it’s being used as a source for quote or something someone did anyway, and only if it’s a recoding of someone making the statement / action
