It's definitely used in older series as well.

I mean, just because it happens fast or in an unnoticeable way doesn't mean it doesn't happen. If somebody vaporized themselves instantly it's still suicide. Sure, people would probably accept the fact that their original is being killed for convenience, but the fact stays.

Because technically, it's a scanner + printer and not a mover. It's just that the original is deliberately destroyed every time (unless something goes wrong *looks at Miles*).

IIRC, it's even mentioned that people going through the transporter are cached. Like, they store snapshots, so you can compare the changes between older you and newer you. You can also store a person in buffer digitally, meaning you can copy and print as many as you want.

I would've just closed the curtain to avoid glare like that fat guy from the meme.

I always do that Neo dodge, but we all know how that ended.

Mostly, people with friends.

Can somebody please put Morpheus and Neo on a Magic Carpet with caption "I can show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes"? Thanks.

Wtf is "whatnot"? How is it amongst such well-known stuff (except Instructure, too, I guess)?

They can't have my brand! I have special ~~eyes~~ petting needs.

That "SLASH S" gives me Roy Kent's "WHISTLE!" vibes.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 7 points 6 days ago

Close enough. Thanks.

Where's the obligatory comment about how that's the wrong Caesar?
