Previously on Star Trek: The New Cable Management:
Now you can oneshot that borg, because it’s not spreading out it’s soft spots.
They have shields tho, to shield their soft wares.
After looks kinda Rasta!
They had yet to assimilate enough Starfleet engineers to fix that problem.
They should have assimilated PC nerds from the 2020s Earth - cable-free RGB-Borg!!
You don’t need to have “Kalkstuff cable management” written twice.
Or the text on the right. This isn’t the Wolverine game, we can see what is going on.
It’s giving an AI slop vibe.
Now this is a good meme. No notes. Better post it before I do :P
To make a Devops quip, “Cattle, not pets.”
Each drone doesnt matter enough to be tidy. They need to be minimally viable, then sent off go do their tasks. They get treated like disposable things, because thats what the collective sees each individual as.
Mmmm, queen cable manager position …
Um, I might be heading to IKEA in the near future to step my Kalkstuff game up. I use zip ties, and that looks far better.
At least they didn’t go to Bluetooth pairing. All my homies hate Bluetooth pairing.
NFC where the nuts used to be.
Hey, yeah. They’re all about perfection; why are their cables all over the place? Only the Queen seems to have any cable management worth a shit; and it’s basically just to make it look like she has a pony tail.
“We are perfection.” You sure about that? Your guys shamble about, instead of adding appendages you remove them, there are loose cables everywhere that catch on everything, and your ships CLEARLY have inefficient use of space if a Galaxy-class starship is capable of maneuvering inside of it.
With even worse cable management the starship would have gotten tangled, caught in the web of Borg efficiency.
“Kalkstuff” translates to “geological sample of chalk”, which is a weirdly fitting description.
Is this borgslop
Probably. Higher quality:
Should have given him at least a smirk on the second picture
Evolution sucks. Look at the recurrent laryngeal nerve:
Instead of going 2 inches from your brainstem to your larynx, it goes all the way to your aorta, wraps around it, then back up. This serves absolutely no purpose and is like that because of random, gradual evolutionary changes.
Maybe its like a pcb data trace, needs to be a certain length to deliver signals in correct timing. That was just a convenient route to prevent tangles
Even crazier is how it does this in giraffes too:
Borg design always bothered me. “Ooh, a laser! Do you project your own PowerPoint too?”
Communication in space?
The borg’s greatest weakness was a pair of scissors
Funny, but actually a bit on the nose, repeatedly in the show.
Phaser blast? In short order they have shields that block them. Time for some good old punching, which somehow the drones always seemed to be fairly vulnerable to. Also holodeck tommy gun made short work of them. Seems like starfleet should have just issued good old fashioned guns…
On a related note: the Jem’Hadar have a crippling addiction to drugs to the point that denying them those drugs kills them. The main delivery mechanism of said drugs is A HOSE STICKING OUT OF THEIR CHESTS and not once do we see someone rip the hose out. I mean, Worf carries a knife on him at all times and is highly skilled in its use and nope, Worf never slices the hose. FOH
Slicing the hose kills them later, not now. Y’all dont use a knife to kill someone next week. Y’all use it to put someone down on the ground immediately.
As a less quipy followup, Jem’hadar are established early as clones that mature to adulthood in a matter of weeks. Thats their real threat. Even if you had the inclination to kill them slowly, its almost irreverent. More will come, enmass.
This is fair. Though we don’t know what the immediate effect of interrupting the ketracel white will be. Maybe their addiction to it is so intense that severing the hose completely throws them and they either being to weaken significantly and quickly, or they just totally lose focus? I’m just saying that it might be a strategy to try once. But I get that the costume department doesn’t want to have to go through the trouble of replacing/repairing that hose between takes.
I like the supposition, but we do know how it affects them from the season 6 two part opener of DS9. Some federation members and jem’hadar crashland on a planet. One of the plot points is the limited amount of white available to the soldiers.
From the episode, we know they grow irritable, lose discipline, go into violent frenzys, lose the ability to cloak and eventually die when they dont have white for a prolonged period. This process takes several days at least, although I think the time frame shown in the episode is close to a week, and none of them die from a lack of white.
So I don’t think its viable, but its a good “finishing” move on a battlefield, I.e like bayonetting the wounded enemy that happened in the civil war. I don’t think the federation would condone that behavior, but I’m sure the Klingons and some other races would.
cable management like this is all well and good until it’s time to unplug any individual item
Velcro ties. Very simple to attach or remove, very tidy, very cheap.
That’s why you never unplug anything after you’ve used it. You’re basically messing with the Mona Lisa at that point.
