In the Star Trek Encyclopedia, 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 244, the Enterprise-J is identified as a Universe-class starship. The same reference book additionally described the ship as having an overall length of 3219 meters.
I can’t find a reference for the Breen Dreadnaught size though, not enough beta canon material for something so new. I can’t find a good source for Fed HQ size to compare either, just that it is actually a Pax class starship, but no size for those.
Because they’re currently paying those expensive leases with little to no use. They can’t comprehend the idea of just not using the space until the lease is up. And for those that own the buildings, selling it clearly isn’t an option either with office prices tanking because society is realizing that much office space is not actually necessary.
I’m sure there are some people that saw the book first. The back cover literally said it was being made into a motion picture, so clearly the publication was meant to at least partially hype the movie.
George Lucas had a true stroke of brilliance to embrace the merchandise aspects of what Star Wars could make. The thought of merchandising movies wasn’t really a thing at the time, and it’s one of the main reasons he made so much money from Star Wars, he wanted the “worthless” merchandising rights that the studios were willing to give up easily. A ghostwritten novel listing him as the writer based on his screenplay releasing a year ahead of the movie could have been the very first thing he did with that merchandising right.
The title is very specific, and doesn’t claim the movie is based on the novel despite that clearly being what they’re trying to really claim.
The order was screenplay > book > movie, but the writing was screenplay > book and screenplay > movie. The book and movie aren’t actually related, other than the underlying screenplay they both use. The Fandom wiki page linked literally says:
It adapts the film of the same name, and it was based on the screenplay by Lucas.
“which means Star Wars hype is technically literary-based in nature”
With this logic, all movies are literary-based since all movies are created from screenplays.
To be fair that’s because software on consoles is designed for specific hardware. With newer hardware the old games won’t just work, because they were complex for very specific hardware. So for BC you end up with emulation which requires a lot more processing power than the original hardware, and is not perfect.
Or using the old hardware like the PlayStation 3 BC for instance, they literally had the PS2 hardware in the PS3 to handle BC. And as time went on they removed that hardware to save costs and BC went with it.
PC gaming however, and by extension portables like the Steam Deck however are running software developed more generically for wider ranges of architecture to begin with. It means less hardware optimization, but it generally means compatibility out of the box as hardware improves since it wasn’t designed with extremely specific hardware anyway.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs still exists.
To be fair, advertising in sports games is essentially expected. Advertising is all over the place in real world sports.
We all know that’s not what EA is talking about here though. They 100% are trying to figure out how to get that sort of advertising into other shit where it doesn’t fit well. You know they’d put real world ads into a single player Star Wars game right now if they could get away with it.
So is gravity. Outside colloquial usage, a Theory is well-substantiated with empirical evidence. Game Theory is one of those.
Oh definitely. I just wanted to point out that even the “expensive” brands used by places like Michelin rated restaurants aren’t even that expensive. A lot of people only ever see these very artificially inflated values at events, or super exclusive types of caviar, and think that’s just how expensive all of it is.
Caviar isn’t even that expensive. Unless you’re looking for a very specific brand and type.
I mean, it’s still expensive compared to most foods by weight, but buying a tin isn’t absurd if you’re doing it once in a while for a special occasion.
Tsar Nicoulai caviar (served at Quince, a 3 Michelin star restaurant in San Francisco) sells 1oz of their classic caviar for $60 for comparison. A single serving is usually 0.5oz, so that would serve 2. Of course they have more expensive options, but since the menu doesn’t specify it probably isn’t something super special. There are cheaper brands as well of course, I specifically chose this brand to look up aince I know it is served at a 3 star restaurant, and they would of course be using a high quality product.
It is protected, but you can disclose whatever you want to whoever you want. It’s your medical data, you are not prevented from sharing it, healthcare professionals are prevented from sharing identifiable information including that.
Since HIV is such a big issue in the LGBT space, so much that many blood/plasma donation places won’t even let gay patients donate at all, or if they e been sexually active within like 2 months, even though they obviously test all donations anyway. Being upfront with that information is important, so for a dating/hookup app meant for those users, it’s essentially like having a space to put your height.
Yeah the storyline from “The Chase”. After that episode it was never touched again in any of the series until this season of Disco.
Bombshell revelation that all humanoid life in the galaxy was seeded by a Progenitor race? Never discussed again. Obviously Starfleet wouldn’t have abandoned that research thread. This season continues that story, and gives an in universe explanation to why we never saw it mentioned again.
I haven’t been paying any attention to anyone else, but I’ve been enjoying this season.
It continues the abandoned Progenitor storyline from TNG. And it does a decent job at explaining why we didn’t see any more about it until 800 years later.
Even the interpersonal stuff isn’t terrible this season. We get to see more alternative captain/crew interaction and how those directly compare with Disco’s crew.
Getting really tired of these idiots trying to shove multiplayer and/or MMO mechanics into single player franchises or attempting to justify a shift to live service.
forging a Snapchat certificate and signing it with its own.
Sounds to me like that should be a violation of Title 18 U.S. Code § 1030, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. A violation for every individual message that was intercepted.
All C-level employees or board members that knew of the program and did not blow a whistle should be tried, in addition to the company itself being fined.
Yes this would likely kill Facebook on fines alone. The fact nothing even remotely close to this will never happen shows how much power we’ve willingly given up as citizens by electing politicians for businesses and refusing to remove money from politics.
Truth Social is already literally a Mastodon instance. They just don’t federate with anything else.
Trump could open up federation, but that would ruin their safe space, I mean echo chamber.
Or Firefox could add native support for both orientations, and tab grouping.
In the wise words of Gaben: "One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue.”
Roadside assistance alone can be worth it. AAA’s most basic plan for instance is $64.99 by itself.
I really want to see someone use the lack of any AI accountability as an active defense in a copyright trial for piracy. Force the court to compare the “theft” of a digital item like a book or movie that is used a few times probably, to copying something that is then effectively used internally every time the AI generates something.
