Worst examples of Treknobabble
  • Almost anything involving the space-magic Enterprise D dish between the engine nacels:

    Need more power? Modify the main deflector and divert power from shields.

    Space anomoly? Bombard it with tachyon particles from the main deflector.

    Need to modulate frequency of phaser array because a borg cube adapted to your weapons? Use the main deflector to send a resonance pulse and overwhelm their shields with a flood of positronic particles.

  • I appreciate the clarification zzz711 :) . I'm with accideath, however. I'm old enough to remember classic photo projectors, but I fail to see the punch line.

    Maybe there's a joke about the Air Force failing to distinguish between Up and Down? Or perhaps the leadership of a project involving such complex mechanics as Nuclear Warheads is not expected to be comically inept with a simple projector.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Sony is taking Concord offline on September 6th after disastrous launch
  • Woooow.

    I wonder what this development holds for Sony's future of live service games.

    I'm really hoping Sony re-invests in smaller projects and Studios. I really miss the Twisted Metal series and smaller games like Fat Princess.

    A six-year project on a trend is way too risky, when these trends change so fast.

    Holy Fuck
  • LOL. This meme goes way back, doesn't it? I vaguely remember it from early 2010's.

    Edit

    Maybe not! KnowYourMeme suggests it stemmed from 2022 tweet by Adam Levine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Methamphetamine disguised as shipment of watermelons seized at US-Mexico border in San Diego
  • That was the best they could do? A balloon?

    I understand it's a bit deflated, but my god. I reckon the smugglers could've landed at least six figures for a truck sized haul of hard drugs, so surely they could afford a better disguising apparatus than balloons.

    Either way good riddance.

    [Trailer] Y2K | A24
  • You're 100% right. As a Gen Y and tech enthusiast I should be peak demographic for this film. Yet this trailer doesn't excite me.

  • Hi /c/Waterloo! Can and may anyone recommend a reasonably priced bike repair service? Even a home shop if you know of one. I'm looking to get a tune up along with a chain replacement, disc brake pad replacement and maybe even brake line bleeding.

    I've gone to McPhail's Cycle & Sports in the past, and have been very happy with their work, but this year my budget is extra tight so I'm looking for any other options.

    Thanks very much in advance!
