[Star Trek Voyager] Why not train more people to be medics? by SolidusRaccoon in AskScienceFiction

[–]Slavir_Nabru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, you can always make your way to a holographic transporter pad or a holographic sick bay complete with holographic nurses to supplement the EMH. F' it, chain some holographic holo-emitters from the holodeck to the exterior hull and conjure up some holographic shield arrays.

[Star Trek] How do customs and border protection work when teleportation is a thing? by [deleted] in AskScienceFiction

[–]Slavir_Nabru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Customs/Quarantine is taken care of by the transporter. It has bio-filters and sensors that can identify what they're transporting. Incoming transports can be detected.

Border control is less clear. The Border with the Romulan Star Empire for example is a vast swath of no mans space heavily patrolled and covered by a vast sensor network, where as the Federation/Klingon border is less of a concern by the 24th century and just has a scattering of legacy Starbases.

What direction is the solar system moving thru space? by Nanooc523 in space

[–]Slavir_Nabru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shows Polaris as being ahead of and above the Sun in its orbit of the galactic centre so we're heading roughly north. In fact, because it's above as well, maybe we could deorbit it a little and see if it does hit the north pole!

None of those could be used for wardecs though.

Canadian here, how exactly do "hate speech" laws work in the UK? by CanadianAsshole1 in ukpolitics

[–]Slavir_Nabru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

web pages that show pictures, videos or descriptions of violence against anyone due to their perceived differences

Evidently it's applied with at least some common sense as this reads like the wikipedia article on the holocaust would be incitement to hatred.

So, how far has everyone travelled using these ultra distance anoms that happened yesterday by NorBdelta in Eve

[–]Slavir_Nabru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was 250,000AU in a crane planning on 380,000 when I saw the exploit notification and turned around. At least I got to AP back.

[Star Trek] How would 29th century Starfleet deal with this time alteration? by americanwolf999 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Slavir_Nabru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, premise.

You kill Hitler, someone else elected chancellor instead, WW2 still happens because conditions from WW1 are the same, holocaust doesn't because a racist isn't the one running the shop.

A particular Jewish woman never had to flee mainland Europe, never met a man named Cochrane, never had progeny that invented the warp drive.

Cold war, Eugenics wars, WW3 still happen but no warp drive when the Vulcan ship was passing by in 2063. First contact between humans and aliens happens in 2151 when a Klingon is killed by a farmer. Earth begins exploring further afield (having developed warp without Cochrane in the meantime and pushed on by this event to iterate somewhat, though not so advanced as the warp 5 engine they would have had by now in prime) and, owing nothing to the Vulcans to influence restraint, ends up occupied by Klingons/Romulans.

I'm in charge of the 29th century temporal agency, I introduce the ideas Cochrane brought to warp technology in time to make the 2063 test flight, albeit with a different pilot.

Now you've done it, and plot element prevents me from directly fixing the timeline, it's a case of mitigating the damage. If I can ensure the general integrity of the future to the point that the temporal agency is still formed, with the most significant changes being 6 million jews surviving and a different statue/name in the history books, I'll be a happy time-cop.

On the other hand if the premise is the holocaust has to happen or humanity is wiped out, then what's a time-cop to do? Plot element that prevents me from going back and stopping you presumably also stops me going back and committing genocide myself, or killing you in the 24th century before you go back (although that 24th century where you get a time machine didn't happen so can I even get there to kill you? Doesn't the grandfather paradox sort this out itself? I was only an intern, not a real time-cop but you just made everyone else here not exist and I have no clue what I'm doing!), but if it doesn't then I guess that's what I've got to do.

[Star Trek] How would 29th century Starfleet deal with this time alteration? by americanwolf999 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Slavir_Nabru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It must surely depend on how the timeline was changed. If first contact, the formation of the UFP, etc. all still happen, I can't see them justifying exterminating millions of people just because from their relative perspective, it's what "should" have happened.

I am 15 and aspire to be an astronaut, does anyone have tips for me. Or just maybe some motivation? by tylerrhill123 in space

[–]Slavir_Nabru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No tips but here's some motivation.

It's going to be another 15 years before you'd be chosen for a mission. By that time, the price of things like Virgins space tourism will have come down to a point where someone with the necessary qualifications to be considered for an astronaut, ought to be able to earn enough to save up and get to visit space whether selected or not.

My dog and I are homeless but I don’t eat pork by boobaloo222 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Slavir_Nabru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the fried cat/dog/cricket/centipede I'd have to have gone a couple of days without eating and not know where my next meal was coming from.

Pig brain/Human liver would be a last resort to prevent death.

I wouldn't even try the sheep eye, I doubt I'd keep it down so I'd just die faster from trying to eat that.

I'd try the Hamster nuggets right now, they sound like they might be delicious.

T2 web is in pretty bad by Highenaaaaa in Eve

[–]Slavir_Nabru 11 points12 points  (0 children)

would you rather double 55 to 110, or double 60 to 120?

110 certainly, the 120% web is causing them to move backwards twice as fast!

Can I use my second monitor as my partner's screen when playing coop? by blacmagick in outwardgame

[–]Slavir_Nabru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not (or wasn't last I played) officially supported but you can by arranging your monitors vertically in your OS settings, doubling your games vertical resolution, playing in windowed mode and positioning the window across both displays.

[Toy Story] What’s the Estimated Value of a Complete Woody’s Round Up Set? by Bbilbo1 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Slavir_Nabru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll give you two hundred bucks and I'm taking a huge risk!
In perfect condition maybe tens of thousands but this Woody has non-original paint and stitching and only the Stinky-Pete is in the (opened!) box. A serious collector will want a better condition set than that.

Confessions on a Lootscripter by Choridon in Eve

[–]Slavir_Nabru 32 points33 points  (0 children)

93% chance of success. That's hilariously high for any endeavor in Eve.

If only 1 in 10 havens ran resulted in a dead super, or if 7% of spod rocks warped away before you could mine them.

Is there a way that Alphas can at least get the prototype cloak? by [deleted] in Eve

[–]Slavir_Nabru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, Alpha is meant to give people a taste of everything EVE has to offer before Omega, right?

Clearly not or they'd have access to supers and titans so they can get a taste of heavy fighters and doomsdays.

[General Sci Fi] Planetary defense against relativistic kinetic weapons? by HC73_18 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Slavir_Nabru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could we trap a layer of antimatter in a magnetic field around the planet/system that causes an annihilation event at the surface of the rkv? It ought to throw it off course at the very least.

How to accelerate the introduction of UBI in the UK by thebeecrew in ukpolitics

[–]Slavir_Nabru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think (and have nothing to backup) negative income tax would be an easier sell and less convoluted for the same outcome.

[General] Aspiring mecha-designer here! What are some flaws you've seen in mecha design and how could I go about improving them? by almighty_smiley in AskScienceFiction

[–]Slavir_Nabru 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They often appear rather top-heavy with their shoulder mounted missile launchers and such, address this by strapping more dakka to the knees!

Oh, and make their legs have really sharp bits that will cut through anything used to try and trip them.

Another flaw is bipedal locomotion is stupidly complicated for something with a very limited mission profile, give them jet-packs and tank-track roller-blades on the feet!

Is banning all Chinese people from the main Eve Online server racist? Is it just “in their culture” to cheat? r/eve discusses. by zipfour in SubredditDrama

[–]Slavir_Nabru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If that were the case the US, Germany, Russia, Japan, Australia, South Africa and Brazil wouldn't all be on the same server. It has nothing to do with latency or population.

How can anyone look at Greta Thunberg and say that 16-year-olds should be denied the vote? by NoKidsItsCruel in ukpolitics

[–]Slavir_Nabru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some mental health issues sure. You shouldn't get your vote revoked if you're depressed put you probably should if you believe you're Napoleon and keep biting the orderly that you're convinced looks like Wellington.

[General Fiction] What are some of the boldest moves made in fictional works? by Toxinz1181 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Slavir_Nabru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The evacuation of New Caprica was essentially Bill and Lee Adama playing double or nothing with what remained of the human race.
