Eventually that tape will fail. Gravity and physics never will.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

gravity and physics can't survive a few bounces

Unless you're in chaotic space.

Only one of those will meet the tolerances.

Aye, ye think yer little wobbly Vulcan coin on a glass is gonna stay calibrated under Warp 3 tactical maneuvers? Hang on. I left a wee role o' duct tape in Jefferies Tube 7.

I'd love to think that a box of duct tape is a standard fixture in the broom closet of engineering.

Duct tape, ratchet straps, zip ties and a grease gun. Pump that fucker full of grease and drive it till it catches fire.

If you wish to bake a universe, first you must invent the duct tape.

What about Duck Tape duct tape?

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 6 points 23 hours ago

It originally was duck tape, as it was designed for use on military vehicles called ducks. Ducks have tires to drive on land and a motor to travel on water. They drive into water, use the on board motor to boat around and drive out the other side. They needed something waterproof to patch holes and duck tape was born.

It wasn't until after WW2 that people started using it for ducts and then people started calling it duct tape.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
