    What’s the deal with this support person being unaware of how to use basic capitalisation and punctuation in sentences?

    We learned that when we were 6.

    Deeply, deeply unprofessional. If I had an employee that was this bad at presenting themselves to those outside of the organisation, I’d either insist they learn how to write properly in their own time and apply it at work, or possibly let them go.

    It may seem harsh, but they write like a child, and that would reflect very badly on us as a team and organisation in every interaction they had, every day.



  • Circuit breakers don’t work for plasma conduits.

    Why not? Plasma moves like a fluid, and we are perfectly capable of shutting off or limiting the flow of a fluid in an emergency.

    They wouldn’t employ a technology across an entire fleet of starships, and practically every corner of civilisation on and off world, if they weren’t able to manage it to am extremely high degree of safety.

    Just look inside the armoured citadel on a battleship for examples of how every single thing no matter how small are designed to ensure the crew remain unharmed and the vessel functional.

    Anyway, the real problem is that we fill our consoles with rocks.




  • I’ve noticed that there’s a shift in UI design currently back to the 2000s style of round UI design, which eventually moved out of the way for nice straight crisp corners when we shifted from CRTs to LCDs which could render pixel perfect images at last.

    We never limited the viewport on a browser of course, that’s madness. But just look at XP’s bubbly design and interfaces of the time vs Win8/10’s very angular, clean crisp interface.

    I do hope we’re not descending back into an age of curves, I’m not a fan. But styles come and go every few decades, and maybe younger people today are ready to experience their “age of curves” for the first time?
