/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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 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'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Fool. Don't you know B-4 when you see him?
I labeled mine as

Intern: “What’s the difference?”

I understand you get voice calls from the voice jack, data from the data jack, do you get an office from the office jack?
Probably an intranet.
How else do you watch the reruns?
My science teacher my freshman year of high school wouldn't let us pronounce it that way, and it stuck. So when I look at this, first I hear his voice saying, "Date-ah is a name, dat-ah is information." Then, largely thanks to this community, it's followed by Brent Spiner's voice saying, "One is my name. The other is not."
My freshman year of HS was in 93, so TNG was still on the air.
It apparently was dat-uh in the U.S. for a very long time, basically until TNG. In fact, the first time Patrick Stewart pronounced it the way we know it now, Brent Spiner asked the producers if it was pronounced the other way and he and Stewart debated it and the response from on high was, "from now on, whoever says the name first: that's how it's pronounced."
Edit: Here's him telling the story- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeqTMTOxid8 (I got it slightly wrong, it came from Gene himself.)
OP do you live in a hotel?
No, I am not Eloise.
(Look it up, kids.)
I'd put Uhura on the voice one.
This is a good way to note which of your ports are fully functional.
Noticing the little two eyes over the voice one, I think that would be a fun way to indicate if you were you were to run a POTS line over Ethernet, too. Not only would it look like a little guy with his mouth open, but it would also be a reminder that only two pins in that port are connected. (You can actually connect a phone line to a jack like that and just plug an old phone cable into the middle of the port and it will work)
