The LaTeX formulas make me chuckle so hard.

You talk like a Ferengi bIHnuch! The glooreeee of one meme has a value unequaled by any amount of latinum.

I had Subway Surfers as a kid and still watched Star Trek.

And just replace Bluey with Thomas and Friends or whatever.

My mom would be lass lax in making do our homework if we watched whatever Trek she was watching; I was drawing pictures of Picard by the time I was 10. This was in the 2010s.

While also caring developing its characters extremely well; I think only DS9 had better character development.

In my opinion, it's not that worth it as a beverage; it's best enjoyed in a root beer float. Of course, that makes it even more sugary, but it's at least a pleasurable experience of texture.

I most frequently have A & W; it's pretty rare we get anything else. I don't think I've had a lot of Mug; I've certainly had some before, but it feels like I see more A & W and Barq's around my area. I don't think I've ever actually been to an A & W; all the Las Vegas locations had been closed for years (and still are) back when I lived in Vegas, and there's only 1 in the entirety of the Phoenix area where I current live.

Honestly, for me, root beer is root beer. Also, I rarely drink it as a standalone beverage these days; I mostly just use it in root beer floats. I'd only really choose it if there was no Dr. Pepper around or I was avoiding caffeine.

The root beer thing sounds so surreal to me, but it really shouldn't.

Your body replaces most of its cells over the course of about a decade, give or take a few years (except for brain cells, which admittedly throws a wrench in my point). What’s not to say it didn’t kill the version of you 10 years ago?

Further more, think of yourself from 1 day ago. Can that exact version of yourself still act on the world, or is that version effectively dead as the result of your mind changing over time? That exact version of you isn’t somehow carried on by soul.

In some sense, the very continuity of consciousness could be viewed as a continual process of death of the old self; all the transporter does is create a brief gap in that continuum.

In a nutshell, we’re always dying in some form as a product of the nature of time itself. Why should we get mad at the transporter?

Maybe the soul is how we transcend these deaths; maybe there’s no such thing as a soul.

The Borg assimilate buffer time from Scotty; that makes the entire collective several percent more efficient and turns out to be the secret to the Borg taking over the entire galaxy.

That… is kind of ugly. It’s unimaginative - feels too much like an airplane or a cheap-as-heck shuttle model. It brings up the worst of late-90s/early 2000s blobject design.

It would definitely feel more at home as background ship, but this is not the design of a hero ship. It doesn’t even have to be the traditional Roddenberry-type design; something looking more like the Dove from Lower Decks would be better than this.
