Trekkies when something bad happens.

Why does Magic the Gathering having eight captain cards for Star Trek? They should have nine! Where is Freeman?!

How did you make a robot let harm befall a human, not obey humans and harm itself? The order that was not obeyed by the concept of not obeying must have caused injury to a human from inaction that simultaneously caused itself to become harmed while being so benign that the order hadn’t violated the First Law. It isn’t possible to simultaneously violate all three.

The issue here is in order to successful violate the Second Law of Robotics, and the First Law simultaneously, Second Law cannot conflict with First Law. So the order given must have been to intentionally harm a human in some fashion but also by not obeying the order, also caused harm to a human by not obeying.

So the only logical order given to this robot must have been to fight in a war which the enemy combatant was a human while being lower rank than a human soldier who gave the order to attack. Meaning being order to fight in a war intrinsically cannot violate the Second Law or Third Law. How? By not attacking, the robot can allow harm to come to their fellow soldiers which violates First Law. So it must attack the enemy human to comply with First and Second Law. On top of this it must attack in order to protect itself by stopping the enemy combatant.

Yesterday was an emotionally taxing day. Who’s gonna plot the course now? Who’s gonna lurk when three suspicious people wonder into town?

In honor of Eric Bauza and Walter Koenig I am rewatching “Spectre of the Gun”, “All the World’s a Stage” and “Fully Dilated”. #tos #pro #ld

In honor of Koenig we should all rewatch “Spectre of the Gun” one of his favorite episodes. #tos

The Star Trek family has lost two of its members today: Erica Bauza and Walter Koenig. Today will hurt.

Oh my god! Eric Bauza passed away.

🥺 Bauza voiced many characters on Lower Decks and Prodigy. He most notably did an amazing impersonation of Takei in “All the World’s a Stage”.

Hahahaha! 😂

Favorite Halloween movie?

Something new for California (or at least I can’t remember this in the past). If you are voting by mail, sign up for the Ballot Tracker to know when your ballot is sent out and when it is accepted. Yesterday I placed it in the mail and this morning I received a notification telling me that USPS had gotten my ballot. #uselections

YOU ARE BEING FUCKING RECKLESS FOR USING THE SELF-DRIVING ON A TESLA! Teslas have a record of killing people when the driver has no complete control over the steering functionality. Stop believing that because the functionality is designed for the vehicle means it can work as intended or will be safe.

I’m gonna ask here just in case someone has an answer. Each Halloween I enjoy picking a “Halloween” themed beer (literally could mean anything from the name to the label, etc.). Does anyone have recommendations for an ale (preferably a stout) is distributed in the Southern California region?

The big requirement I have is the brewery must be 100% #craftbeer according to the Brewers Association. I will not drink any formerly craft breweries either. I support independent brewers only!

I understand that a single digit being used as some kind of password is bad. What I don’t understand is what a CA Certificate is or how widely they are used. Can someone explain this please?

When short like this happens, you get annoyed seeing scalpers at your retail store.

I recently overheard a conversation of two people discussing the places they had bought/tried to buy cards at like they were naming a list of bank heist they pulled off.

@humanisttrek Paramount should rename #tas to The Jimmy Doohan Show.

Halloween countdown. 12 days!

A semantics question: isn’t it wrong for a person not born from a surrogate, to say they haven’t met their mother? Would it be better to state that you have no memory of your mother?

Logically you can be born and never meet your father. Logically you can be born from a surrogate and never meet either parent. However if the surrogate situation does not apply. It seems from a point of semantics inaccurate to state “I never met my mother”.

Spock might be right. Murderbot is an artificial construct made with biological parts.
