I miss the pressure sensitive touch screen my iPhone 7 had. A hard press immediately pulled up the copy / paste menu.

iOS has a non-obvious undo / redo, too. To access the undo menu, shake the phone.

I don’t get why so many people begrudge YouTube for trying make money. They serve up 5TB of video data every second. Somebody’s got to pay for all of that. They know ads suck, that’s why they sell no ad subscriptions.

The UK is going through the same thing. The Prime Minister dissolved Parliament about two weeks ago, and elections are going to be held of July 4th. (An odd choice, but apparently elections are always on a Thursday in the UK.)

Staying in one spot was an asset, it helped justify recurring guests and villains if everyone’s in the same neighborhood. There’s no way the Kazon should have been bothering Voyager after Season 1 if they had been making a bee line for the Alpha Quadrant.

China hasn’t demonstrated the ability to execute a sustained naval campaign far from their home ports in the past. They’re a green water navy with blue water aspirations. While this would be a good chance to practice long range deployments and air defense strategies, with the eyes of the world focused on the Red Sea, they don’t want to risk screwing up and loosing national prestige.

A Tomahawk cruise missile only uses a rocket motor to take off from a ship or submarine. After launch, it unfolds its wings and uses a jet engine to fly to its target.

Further proof that Enterprise NX-01-era Starfleet had the most functional uniforms. Pockets and useful accessories.

It’s international waters, anyone can be there. Its named the China Sea because it’s next to China, not because China owns it. It’s not like the Gulf of Mexico belongs to Mexico.

I’ve never heard a more perfect term than “Certificate of Entitlement.”

That did, Singapore has one of the most well developed mass transit systems in the world, so if there’s anywhere you can live without a car…

Kirk is temporarily transferring to the Enterprise, so maybe she needs to get him set up with XO-level security credentials in the computer. (The kind of thing you need to do, “Computer, eject the warp core, authorization Kirk lambda two six two.”)

Testing new experimental lithobraking technology.

What are they going to do, invade Ukraine? Sorry, Russia, you don’t get to pick a fight then get sympathy when you get hit back.

So, really just cruise missiles, then, without the rocket powered take off.

It is going to be tricky to regulate, but the expedition ship does come back to shore to resupply. They don’t leave the sub adrift on the high seas, they bring it back with them, and I imagine it’s easier to do maintenance on it on dry land, or at least in the protected waters of port.
