It's disappointing that in all these years of Trek there's basically no 3D map of UFP, even fan-made.

It's really hard to gauge distances in 2D. There's so many worlds that look right next to each other but are actually hundreds of lightyears apart.

IIRC the right one eventually became the "Executive Shuttle."

Becoming a U.S. citizen takes years and involves immigrants acquiring a green card, extensive interviews, background checks, classes and a citizenship test. The naturalization ceremony is the final step to the process, where the oath of allegiance and a citizenship certificate are granted. Immigrants approved to be naturalized went to Faneuil Hall Thursday - known as the country's cradle of liberty - for that long-awaited moment to pledge allegiance to the United States. But instead, as they lined up, some were told by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials that they couldn't proceed due to their countries of origin.

Go for it! You have the creative vision for sure.

Honestly with some slight modification I could see this in Elite Dangerous.

Yeah I'm sorry people can be such assholes about it. There's a difference between critiquing a piece of art & being a dick to the artist, and it's something I've admittedly been guilty of myself.

I like this. The grille on the back of the nacelles seems Oberth-inspired.

Looks like it has some Atlas as well.

Haven't posted a good beauty shot in a while. So here you go.

It reminds me of the big Dominion shipyard from Season 7.

While I don't agree with every take here this is 100% worth the 2 hour watch.

How have I never heard of Crustmas?

Another possibility is the name refers to Pompey wielding the brute power of military backing ("mihi caligae eius non placebant") in Cicero. The name could therefore also refer to him wielding Imperium in the brutish manner of a common soldier, whom all Romans feared.

I suspect it's not because he wore military sandals, but because he was the son of Germanicus (like Marius being "a caliga.")

Thus "little soldier/little Germanicus," not "little boot."

The more sources I read on Caligula the more I'm convinced the name/origin story is entirely the result of Suetonius and Tacitus following a precedent set in Seneca and Cicero only vaguely referring to his background.

Need to buy a copy! I have a lot of thoughts on this as a reenactor...

The cover of THE WHITE PEDESTAL: HOW WHITE NATIONALISTS USE ANCIENT GREECE AND ROME TO JUSTIFY HATE, by Curtis Dozier. Black and white text on bright red background, with a white marble pedestal at the bottom.

I conclude my survey of the ancient Med. world (this week!) w some examples of the uses/abuses of antiquity in the modern period.

This book (by a Berkeley PhD!) arrives at an opportune moment. Curtis has done so much to document this problem on his PHAROS website. I'm preparing for a bracing read.

That's fine and I'lldefinitely accept that viewpoint. I just dislike it.

Yes I've read the Schizophrenia hypotheses and I don't buy it. It sounds like back when they diagnosed people with Schizophrenia because Autism wasn't officially identified yet.

I think there's a solid but overlooked argument that the overwhelming majority of the Julio-Claudian Emperors were Autistic. Particularly Agrippa Postumus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero.

Man, y'all never got to experience "Naked Bob" at the Celtic Hillfort in Arkansas...

Cornell College to cut programs after review of enrollment, student interest • Iowa Capital Dispatch Cornell College will halt "major courses of study" in different languages, music studies and more in the next academic year.

More bad news a liberal arts college... "[A]fter a review of 'student enrollment data and student interest'... Cornell College will halt its [majors in] more than 10 areas, including classical studies, French and Francophone studies, German studies, religion..."

This is a great video but a bit weird you don't mention it was fleshed out in Galaxies (and to a lesser extent SWTOR and several reference books), which the Canon lore is based on.

Also, Gormaanda was the inspiration for the talk show hosts in Andor Season 2!

Fits a little better with a 331m TOS Enterprise. :P

Reminds me of this:
