I wanted a very 90s web-feeling GIF of a TOS science division badge(technically animated WEBP, but whatever), so I threw together the badge in Inkscape, then imported it into Blender to do animation and rendering.

I decided to make the border gold instead of the canon black, as it just looks every so slightly cooler during the spin animation in a very dumb way. I also went for metallic rather than trying to mimic embroidery because I was lazy.

Hi. Normally , I enjoy the original (or at least lesser-known) memes on here.

Lately however, I’ve noticed that despite the anti-repost rule on here, way too many posts recently have been reposts; many of them very well might literally appear in the first results of an image search for “[insert series] memes”.

Personally, I feel that the purpose of any Trek meme community should primarily be to explore strange new memes; while occasionally reposts commemorating seasonal events (as well as the occasional tastefully-timed time loop meme) are acceptable, I think they should never dominate this community. I am hoping we can reduce that frequency and return to our primary mission.

Thank you for your time in listening to my concerns. Glory to you and your house.

I know that this one's been tackled twenty thousand million times and you're probably tired of seeing time loop memes by now, but like the urge to stick Gowron eyes on everything in the universe, I couldn't resist this intrinsic urge.

I know that this one's been tackled twenty thousand million times and you're probably tired of seeing time loop memes by now, but like the urge to stick Gowron eyes on everything in the universe, I couldn't resist this intrinsic urge.

I recently got a rather pristine copy of They Might Be Giants' 1996 single S-E-X-X-Y, mostly for a few bonus tracks unavailable on streaming. Like, it was in shrink wrap with hype sticker, albeit shrink wrap on its last legs - good enough that the rest of it was still in near mint condition, but too damaged for it to be worth keeping on, so I took a 2400 DPI scan of the hype sticker and removed it. Don't worry - I kept the hype sticker.

I want to keep it very fresh - I ripped the CD to my PC and plan on never taking it out of the case again. For now, I have put a zip lock around the case to prevent it gathering dust or getting fingerprints from handling.

However, since it's an FLP case, I am more worried about the case being crushed than a typical jewel case. While I don't plan on getting too ruff with it, I want something a bit harder.

Thus, I was wondering if any of you guys have any particular strategy for this case?

I've looked into CD display cases, but am otherwise having trouble finding results that aren't just CD jewel cases. I was thinking maybe something like the anti-theft containers retailers keep video games in, if they ever made a CD-sized version.

I'm usually not one to beat a dead ~~Reman~~ ~~horse~~ being, but I had to point this one out.

As it turns out, besides also playing background characters in every episode Quimp appeared in, Tom Kenny also played Mariner's ex Malvus in "An Embarrassment of Dooplers", D'Onni in "We'll Always Have Tom Paris", the Ferengi antagonists of "Mugato Gumato", and several background characters in each of those episodes.
