I'd argue that a device that also happens to render the user invisible is not inherently a cloaking device.
A flintlock pistol is not legally a firearm in the US, and that distinction matters to quite a few people around here.
Now, ultimately the end result is the same (invisibility/shooty stick go boom) so in the end, the romulans would still consider it a cloak.
Wording is important. It isn't a cloaking device. It may also cause the user to become invisible, but it is not a cloaking device.
Much in the way that a handgonne isn't a pistol. And how a flintlock pistol isn't legally considered a firearm in the United States (as the founding fathers intended)
That said? The romulans would use any excuse they feel like to launch an attack. They won't care that it isn't a cloak. They'll say it doesn't matter and the intention of the treaty was clear. Ultimately they don't care about wording over intent, they'll interpret the treaty in whichever way is most favorable for themselves and hope they're still standing when the dust settles.
That said, I think any attack they launch would merely be a test of starfleet's response. "if we attack are they going to let us keep what we take in exchange for 'peace', will they fight for its return, or would they press a counter-attack?" kind of thing.
Maybe I'm over thinking it.
I mean, you're wrong about the intro, but ENT still gets a HELL YEAH from me.
(the intro is a jam, but it's so out of place for me I can't enjoy it while binging, I usually listen to it in the car a few times while watching the show)
I love how when I point out it's owned by a nazi, people rush in to defend their use of twitter and most usually it's some form of "it's the best for what it is/it has a huge user base" and me responding with a picture of musk doing the ol' Hitler Salute saying "okay but you're supporting this guy, and if you sit at a table with 10 nazis..." usually results in being blocked, people simply ignoring me, or saying something dismissive.
Damn, I totally forgot about that bit!
Honestly I have only seen the final episode twice. I've seen all of season one about 10-13 times.
That is a perfect description of Insurrection.
I'll be damned if I’m going through a singing episode.
You simply cannot see the wisdom of Mahanit.
I usually don't like most singing episodes, but I liked the SNW one.
I was also never into TOS but SNW is great.
Lower Decks has become a comfort show.
So far discovery has held my interest, but there are so so many problems I have while watching it... My head cannon is that it's an alternate time line that diverged thousands of years ago.
I don't see myself watching Picard. I feel like Star Trek TNG left it at a good point with Insurrection (apologies to people who hated it, but it was my introduction to star trek and has a special nostalgia that I get to laugh about the terrible and/or poorly written parts)
Also I pretend nemesis doesn't exist.
Surely the article title means "again", as he has done so repeatedly.
Is Switzerland full of sexist people who think "someday I'LL be rich so I don't want to tax MYSELF more, hypothetically maybe in the distant future"?
Executives should be forced work their lowest paid company position, and be dumped in an apartment with absolutely nothing.
See how long they survive.
You can talk to me about my work-life balance when I'm not putting the healthy option back because it's more expensive than the cheap unhealthy ultra processed bullshit and I can't justify the expense.
In the old days the brick-and-mortar stores would refuse to stock any game that was even remotely controversial in content or age rating.
Either you're too young to have experienced "the old days" or you live in a very conservative area.
There was absolutely a mature section for nearly every store I went to, they either had sleeves to cover the games with printed/handwritten titles, or were collected and kept in their own area that was in view of an employee to tell kids to stay away.
Places like Walmart
Oh, you meant department stores, not actual local game stores.
Looks like a game based on the pixellated stuff at the bottom, probably battlefront? Not sure since I haven't played all the games recently.
That's the neat part, they don't!
