Meanwhile in that timeline, the butterfly effect causes Harry Kim to pursue the command track; he graduates early in 2369. Then he:

• Becomes captain Vendome-style 2370
• Somehow does so well on his first command that he hits admiral in 2375
• Keeps worming up the admiral ranks
• Is tapped as head of Starfleet operations in 2378.
• Becomes Federation president in 2390 (all that Mars and Romulan crap sort of got butterflied out)
• Right near the end of his second term in 2398, he accidentally ascends to godhood.
• Maintains peace and order from a distance in the universe over the centuries.
• Becomes supreme master of the multiverse several millennia later (well, one of them, anyway. They have shifts, or at least the non-linear equivalent.). In his ultimate omnipotent Kim wisdom, he sends several “lesser” Kims the way of one William Boimler to aid him on his quest to save reality.

All hail Tapestry timeline Kim!

In the words of the wise doctor (and, funny enough, the Memory Alpha quote on the page for the class): “I didn’t spend 7 ing years on a g d** Oberth to get knocked down to station physician!”

Let’s just hope I’m not in Lakarian City, USA in a few years…

Wow. This meme’s from when Sprint still existed!

Joking answer: Star Trek: The Next Generation season 1, but skip all episodes except “Code of Honor”, which is the “best” in the franchise.

Serious Answer: DS9 season 1. Although it’s less hopeful than the typical Trek in many senses, I think it still has that Trekian sense of ethics about it. Also, the characters are great, and the first season is much more watchable than TNG season 1.

Picard: “Easy come, easy go, will you let me go.” The entire cube: “We will not, no! We will not let you go.” The Enterprise: “Let him go!”

I think part of my Prodigy meme problem was I tried to encode in a bit too high a resolution (720x480). When retesting it today, I had a 49.1 MiB file, verses with a WEBP encoded at quality level 90, I got it down to 3 megabytes while still looking pretty good. I also kept having an issue with APNG white lines that I could never figure out.

Also, the WEBP was a bit larger than that - I wasn’t satisfied with FFMPEG’s default quality level of 75, so I experimented and decided on 97, getting a size of 333.8 KiB.

P.S For funzies, here’s the WEBP version of that Prodigy meme I was talking about (done in 85):

Mostly with posting the APNG - Lemmy doesn’t seem to natively support them in thumbnails. You CAN embed the image in the post and put a different format in the thumbnail, but that sort of beats the purpose. The caveat is you have to set the extension to PNG, or Lemmy won’t accept it.

Also, while single-frame PNGS have an acceptable compression ratios, APNG files start to get large - a dozen or few dozen megabytes. Really, it doesn’t take that much time to load most times, but it’s long enough that people might miss it.

A classic.

The larger ones like Worf are $20, which feels pretty typical for that type of collectible.

I don’t know about the smaller ones.

I think what they meant is they choose to assimilate based on the information they know.

That’s why they didn’t assimilate the Kazon (I think that’s cannon, but maybe just a meme), but they didn’t know the issues with Icheb or Future Janeway and it seemed totally safe to assimilate themZ

Depends on which Khitomer - the original accords (probably most notable) were because of the whole Praxis incident.

“And I will see my dream come alive at last / I will touch the sky”

“His neural engram structures are experiencing rapid total depolarization. Get me the dineurotrocacaline hypospray, quick!”

Man, making up nonsense Treknobabble is fun. 😏

Funny, but the truth is most warp cores from 2375 have secretly been powered by the suffering of transporter clones of Miles O’Brien made without his knowledge while he taught at the academy. Eventually, when people found out what actually powered ships sometime before the 31st century, O’Brien warp propulsion was retired and dilithium was brought back into use.

I got the Worf one and a mini-Spock for Christmas (sitting here in my bathroom cabinet):

I love the Janeway one, though, one of which I gifted to my mother a few years back.

I swear it’s one of the top episodes in the franchise now.

Also, according to an okudagram shown close up by someone who worked on it, Harry is a lieutenant during Prodigy.
