Waaaaaay ahead of you.
I've been screaming for them to stop for years.

Corvids evolved beyond the need for physical form.
All that remains are echoes.
un-miles-obrien, basically a cheeky way of saying unjerk my role play... Yeah not very clever mind you, but I work on transporters not words.
The higher the amount of energy you require from the dilithium, the quicker it fractures. In newer starships they recrystallize whioe still in use, but in older federation ships like when Those Old Scientists were roaming the stars, it was a real danger that you'd break the only dilithium crystals on the ship and be more or less stranded if you pushed them too hard.
Of course you still have to deal with warp core stress and heat dispersion on newer ships.
So when a sovereign class goes to warp 6, that's more or less cruising speed. When she goes to warp 9.975, she needs to haul ass to get somewhere right the fuck now
Especially with subspace damage at higher warps with less streamlined ships/warp bubbles, starfleet limited travel in general to warp 6 and some areas the speed limit is warp 3.
/uMO So in other words.... Whatever the plot currently demands, that's what they go with. It's just a show of "we need to be there quickly" or "we have some time to kill" more or less.
Should hold the same penalties as a poor person's fraud.
It's insane to me how many people just grab their phone and think "I'm good to go on an all day woodland adventure!" with no water, no food, clothing for an afternoon at the mall, and not even a backup battery for their phone.
I've actually packed extra clothes for someonein my bag specifically because I knew they were going to regret shorts and half a t-shirt. Cue 2 hours later they're complaining about being cold when we're in the valleys...
"no you don't understand! People need to suffer because muh big gubment!"

I can remind all the Star Trek fans that the episode Sub Rosa exists.
And to all the anime fans, I'm so sorry to do this to you...
"Ed..... Ward...?"

Both can be true.
I never watched alien growing up, and only half-watched it with a girlfriend (sorry, good movies are great but... Boobs vs stereotypical teenager watching a movie....)
By the time I watched the movie fully, it just held no scare factor for me.
And so many dumb choices were made in Prometheus, it's hard to take the people seriously when everyone is acting like children who have never been in space or a dangerous situation before.
"The squeaky hinge gets the grease"
"The nail that sticks out farthest vets the hammer first"
These are metaphors to say "since Waymo is the one doing things like driverless taxis all over a city, they're getting news stories and social media posts"
Yes, things like Tesla suck too. But tesla isn't operating a "driverless taxi" service. Yet.
I'm sure that as something advertised as "driverless" that tesla's owner gets pissy about it and probably feeds into negative press against them, but that doesn't excuse what they do.
