Oh.

Oh?

I think something like that is happening - available rooms are being prioritized for evacuees with medical or accessibility needs, as the article says.

The issue with proactively evicting people is…those people have to go somewhere, too.

“I ask all levels of government, please come together, work together, ask that these hotels and these accommodations make space for our people. We are in a state of emergency, you can give that directive.”

I find this a little confusing - are they to “ask” the hotels to make space, or are they to “direct” them? Those are two very different things.

And if it’s the latter…is there a legal way to do so? This is an honest question, I have no idea what the answer is.

The folks at Winnipeg Sports Talk had a somewhat (okay, much) more cynical take, largely based on the fact that Maurice has participated in handshake lines as recently as last year, is known for being good in front of the media, and managed to talk about how this is all about the players for a solid two minutes.

Their take, not mine. I’ve got a lot of affection for PoMo, but admittedly that is precisely because he’s so good in front of a microphone.

Edit: Timestamp of the conversation.

Captain or no, I don’t think there’s any evidence that he had any knowledge of what was going on, is there?

Chevy is much more heavily implicated in that mess, even though he was found to have been “not responsible for the improper decisions made by the Chicago Blackhawks”.

I think the word “shuttle” could plausibly be applied to long-range, low-capacity transports - maybe even something as large as the USS Raven.

Is the Federation even adhering to the warp five speed limit anymore?

I just assume they’ve fixed that issue.

According to most calculators I can see online, we’re looking at about a month at warp 5, or around 15 days at warp 6. I think a traditional “shuttle” wouldn’t be up to the task - you’d want a vessel with bunks and space to walk around, at the very least.

“Young Adult”

EHLERRRRRRRRS

A decent chunk of his argument is simply to push back against this…loudly.

Finally, it is time to start calling out a lot of provincial grievance for the rank bullshit it often is.

Thanks - I find the “reformed” Senate fascinating.

Perhaps “urban” is the wrong word, but it ain’t exactly Cestus III, y’know?

As someone who’s not familiar with the LA area, it blows my mind that those things are basically in the middle of an urban area.

Thank you for sharing - we appreciate any and all first-person accounts of events!

I have to admit, when they first announced the Fan Fest Nights, my initial reaction was that it sounded like it would be kind of cheap and disappointing. But it seems like they did a really nice job of the Trek event, along with some of the others that I’ve read about (especially Back to the Future).

Full credit to their fans for starting an initiative to donate $55 to the True North Foundation, though. Very classy, and worthy of mention.

So is the protowarp merely a more powerful version of the warp drive?

That was my takeaway - it’s got the power to propel the ship (much) higher into the warp 9.9XXXXX range.

In fairness, they brought him back twice in season two - once as a dancing Klingon, no less.

I think of Trek Central as the “scrappy outsider” of Star Trek new sites, but I do consider them to be a reliable source, and that trademark application is certainly authentic.

We’ll see if anything comes of it.

But was it PROPELLED?! This is an important distinction, which is why the rule book spends so much time on it…
