I like your style hombre, but this is no laughing matter. Assault on a police officer. Theft of police property. Illegal possession of a firearm. FIVE counts of attempted murder. That comes to... 29 dollars and 40 cents. Cash, cheque, or credit card?

House 1 would be good for living out your Star Trek harem dreams and also for laughing at Worf, but it seems to me that having Q around basically supersedes everything. Even if it were, like, against the rules to teleport other people over to house 6, and for some no doubt entirely implausible reason Q would actually be concerned about breaking the rules, surely he could just spawn some clones or summat.

Exploration is ill-advised.
House 4 seems a good balance, McCoy and O'Brien would probably get along great, and Picard can probably keep Quark's shenanigans to merely entertaining and be a proper father figure to Kes.

there might be some arguments but imo in terms of who you want your back in a crisis i think you could do a lot worse than Space Dad, genetically engineered hotshot doctor, superbrain android man, and the woman who got a lone ship through the delta quadrant while finding a way to shoot 38 unreplaceable photon torpedoes 120 times. hopefully troi will be able to stop everyone murdering each other in the process. though you might have to put some effort into spurn Bashir's advances if you are a living being with a heartbeat, especially if he's Season One Bashir who doesn't understand personal boundaries

i'm curious as to whether House 6 has Q and Odo in their human forms, given that's the only way to make Q compatible with the idea of having a house to live in that might happen. if so prepare for there to be a lot of angst going on

Quark is going to try chatting up Torres precisely once and she will murder him. so a good choice i think provided you can avoid falling prey to his schemes before that happens

Fun fact:

Tumblr, even before its adult content ban, was way chaster than old fandom. I don't really know why. So while "shipping" Kirk and Spock remains almost a default position that people who like Star Trek are expected to have*, posting actual pornography would be super weird. You are supposed to post stuff like this:





*I'm actually very kirk/spock ambivalent. i think their bond is ineffable and like, wow. so powerful and strong. I love them. but like actual penis stuff? idk if they do that.

Yeah, for sure. That's what I mean about ambivalent, basically like, yeah do whatever. Do they gently caress? I don't really care. Admittedly I don't particularly think so but if someone uncovered an ancient document or lost episode or something with them banging I would be like, well I guess they did. :shrug:

I do however think that they have the most powerful relationship (not in the sense that suggests sexual behavior) in Trek.

this rules and provokes a lot of questions

like if it's super viscous, why would it go through anything like a urethra?

doin the piss math

Let's go easy on the vulcans cuz crude has a huge range in viscosity, I'm seeing between 2 and 11000, let's just say 100 mm/s, and being extremely lazy and assuming that it's 1000 kg/m^3 which is on the high end but it saves time. So assuming they got junk like humans, on account of them being able to gently caress humans, urethra is either about 20 or 5 cm depending on external vs internal, diameter of 3mm, and flow rate of 20 ml/s.

Plugging this into Hagen–Poiseuille, I'm getting 201 kPa for the pressure difference between the bladder and atmosphere. Human bladders will typically get up to about 3-4 kPa when you really gotta piss, so yeah the Vulcan bladder is a miracle of engineering.

No, they laugh at him for it

Tumblr does have a pretty severe problem where you are supposed to think the bad guys are bad and therefore you're not allowed to like them, and the good guys are good and so you have to like them. I mentioned that that exists for female characters, but this is another similar thing

There has been a lot of pushback about this though, and therefore sarcasm posting about "problematic favs"

That particular one though does have a very strong correlation with age, the older the Tumblr user very obviously the less they give a poo poo about it, it's sort of a generational thing

anyway, tumblr is also popular for fandom stuff because of a very real phenomenon well-encapsulated in this famous tumbl that zillions of people agreed with but had never previously seen articulated

Bashir's relationship with Garak vs Sloan is a fun one. Difference is as much that Garak is a professional while Sloan is just kind of a thug. It's pretty clear Section 31 isn't as good at the cloak and dagger stuff as the think they are; mostly they get by through exploiting corruption and leveraging the Federation's science.

Also Garak isn't his thug. Garak, operating on behalf of the Cardassians, is just an example of what Cardassia thinks is fine tactics, and Bashir can put that off as "that's the Cardassians." Sec31 is the Federation's, and thus their continued existence and operation makes the Federation, and Bashir by extension, guilty.


It's stunning how many ways a device that would have that kind of interface gets proposed in serious contexts, almost always having some sort of Star Trek reference.
