I kind of hope they retcon that at some point.

In my head the justification for all of that is that the queen arose as a necessity to have a single individual for the crew of the Enterprise to interact with. This required her to have a certain amount of autonomy from the collective consciousness, the end result was that she turned into a bit of a dictator and because she had control over the collective she essentially took over without much fight. This would have been obvious to anyone else that this was a possibility, but the Borg had no experience of individuality in the collective before that, so the concern never occurred to them.

Eventually she died and the collective were released from her, and now they are back to being a hive mind. A hive mind that has learned not to do that again.

The reason seven of nine did not become like that was because the queen knew that that was a possibility, and so kept her largely connected so she could to a large extent control her.

I like to play a game where if you see one Star Trek actor you often see others and you have to spot them.

Quite a few have been in CSI over the years.

Nice try. I'm not on that website it'll probably explode.

That's what they have now exploding websites. I think it's a CSS attribute.

Yeah this is what I'm confused about. In a lot of simpler devices like this the BMS is actually a daughter board and has no physical connectivity to the main circuits at all. And even if it had access you generally do not have the capacity to rewrite its code, because again code updating is not something that was ever expected.

Getting batteries to release energy isn't very difficult, even getting them to release it quickly isn't very difficult. What's difficult is getting them to release it over the course of a few milliseconds. Which is what you would need for an explosion.

If the battery simply dumped all its power over the course of 30 seconds that's basically just a fire that you can run away from.

Also I wouldn't have thought a pager had that much charge, I wouldn't have thought this sort of thing would be possible as they would tend to just go off with a loud bang, assuming you could even get them to release all the energy at once l, which again I wouldn't have thought was possible.

For fairly obvious reasons I don't think we're ever going to find out how this was done.

You can just quotes the sections that are relevant. That is what everyone else does.

Every time you do stuff like this it always gives me a headache trying to follow what you're trying to say, It always looks like you're cutting words out of newspapers in order to form a ransom note.

if you ever feel like killing yourself, don't

Oh definitely don't kill yourself, there's absolutely no future in it.

My cousin killed himself and I do not think it helped at all.

I have been in one relationship in my entire life. 8 years ago I was assigned the desk next to her at work, and now I I'm going to marry.

I'm so glad that I have to put up with this shit. One and done, and I'm perfectly happy with it.

I think one of the largest Intel fabs is in Israel for god's sake. We really do excels as a species don't we.

Who would potential reselling business idea

"I have a compulsion to buy laptops but only when they're less than $100"

So what they should have said is to make the image negative.

That's being a standard image editing function since the days of film but you have to use the correct terminology.

My company buys it. No idea what they use it for since I work in IT and I don't use it for anything.
