Digital art comic. 6 panels. panel 1: Guz is climbing down the ladder with her head right-side-up. Rutherford is looking forward to the back of the deck. Guz: Clearly something has gone wrong with the Driver Coils. But that doesn't explain the water. Panel 2: We look back at the glowing red impulse engine as a bolt of lightning shoots out from the back of the engine towards the front, past the camera. Guz and Rutherford look at it in shock. Rutherford: I've never seen anything like this in my… he's interrupted by the lightning Rutherford: oh my god! Panel 3: Guz: Comms are out, so we have to cut power to this impulse engine manually so we can… Panel 4: Guz turns her head fast. Guz: "Rutherford!" Panel 5: Rutherford falls to his knees into the water, grasping his face. His implant turns red. The engine is glowing yellow-hot. Panel 6: Glitchy distorted panel border. We see younger Rutherford in the same pose as panel 5 while his hobby-scale impulse engine overheats, sparks, and throws objects around.

PAUSE for CAUSE (a good time-out)

What is the hurry about anything you are doing? Is your life one big game show with a clock ticking giving you so many seconds to respond or you will miss out on the Grand prize? Relax and consider the following: Slow down and assess what is actually going on by being aware, listening, and attuned to the moment. WORTHY NOTE: We want to take ownership of our lives, then the mastery of it RELAX A…

I'm guessing Diane Carey is not someone who's a science enthusiast. Or she simply may not have wanted to delve into physics and rocketry terminology. Back when Star Trek was created in the 60s, the production team consulted science fiction writers and scientists. I assume they told the production team that "impulse" is a term from physics used to discuss how force creates acceleration. And the efficiency of any engine that generates thrust through expelling reaction mass is called "specific impulse". Star Trek eps through the years (including TOS) have implied that the impulse engines generate thrust via nuclear fusion.

Ever wonder why are they called "Impulse engines"?

Diane Carey has the answer, from her 1988 novel Final Frontier. They are actually Internally Metered Pulse engines. I.M. Pulse. Impulse.

The incredible force of returning to an old passion project slamming headfirst into the brick wall of what the hell do I do about Trey Clover's siblings

Like all things considered for how often he's mentioned them, we don't actually know a whole lot about them as people. It's mostly just what Trey has done for them in the past. Hello? Trey? Can I please get a CRUMB of a personality trait from them? Just something with a little more substance than "brother wanted to see a Spelldrive game once" and "boys vs girls opposing opinions on whether Trey looked cool or mean without glasses."

how do u write hua cheng pov. that boy doesn’t think. he knows everything and he is running a million different operations simultaneously and he is full of anxiety but. not a single forethought passing through his head at any given time. he lives off vibes and the aesthetic. never had an impulsive thought he didn’t just blurt out. introspection? never heard of it. nightmare pov character

After like almost 6 months they've finally reached the Impulse Field Regulator :P I have for a while now had a script written out for most of the rest of Guzcomic... but it's gonna be a lot of pretty complicated artwork from here on out. Here's hoping I can power through!

Begin Image ID.

Page one. Two panel comic. Panel 1: Guz and Rutherford in the Jeffries Tubes. They have a dull, bored expression. Guz says, "OK. We're here. Impulse Field Regulator in Impulse Deck Starboard Beta-3. Panel 2: Same shot, but the door has opened offscreen to reveal a striking red glow which casts shadows on the wall of the Jeffries Tube. Guz and Rutherford are now shocked. Rutherford says "What the Heck?" and Guz says, in large green gooey letters, "WHAT?"

Page two. Four panel comic. Panel 1: Looking down the impulse engine deck. The impulse engine is comprised of two spherical fusion reactors, a set of warp coils, and a rocket engine-like nozzle. Through large windows we can see the adjacent impulse engines. Various pipes seem to be glowing red-hot, and there's electrical sparks and arcing, and a strange floating loop of clear fluid or water is arching over the impulse engine. Rutherford and Guz look down the deck, we see the back of their heads. Panel 2: Rutherford is climbing down the ladder to find that the floor of the deck is waterlogged. Guz is climbing down, but upside down, above him. Panel 3: Close-up of Rutherford. He taps the combadge on his chest. "Rutherford to Main Engineering." The badge makes a chirp-bzzzt! sound. Panel 4: Guz, still upside down, taps her combadge. It makes the same chirp-buzzing error sound. Guz says, "Internal comms are down; and there must be too much subspace distortion."

End Image ID.

thinking about buying a soldering iron and a voltmeter and fucking around with my old + broken electronics... why did i decide to study the one kind of engineering where you dont take any electronics classes i am going to electrocute myself by accident

[andromedasummer]

trying to get back into poetry so i can go into my new translated copy of the Iliad and the copy of the Aeneid i thrifted in the correct mindset and i am very glad that Poetry 101 and exists. was a great reference guide and tool for when i studied poetry back in 2020 and needed to deconstruct poems and use different techniques to analyze and then write my own. highly recommend anyone whos never read it but wants to get into reading more poetry to look to see if they can find it at their library (like i did) or see if its available online somewhere
