          Not liking this trend, what with FlyingSquid’s exit. Damn shame, but if leaving is better for their peace of mind, then I can only hope it’s for the best.

          Any chance you can recall the gist? Was modding too much responsibility or something?

                  But… Tenforward isn’t that way, and someone can always go elsewhere to other instances or even other platforms - e.g. I’m over here on PieFed:-). I did consider leaving myself if I couldn’t block all the political posts from Lemmy.ml prior to the USA election, so I’m glad PieFed gave me the option to stay.

                  In any case, I hope Stamets finds peace irl by touching grass (and I very much hope he returns someday after that!:-).

          It looks like he auto-deleted everything. I wish he had been able to leave up the last post so we could read it. I suppose we aren’t entitled to it but it would have been nice if it had worked out that way:-).

      I suspect what it means is turning down the limiter in the impulse engines (they have max impulse around 0.3c, IIRC, to minimize time dilation being an issue). Because otherwise it’d be warp speed. Which would really get the job done. It’s the premise behind my warp missile saturation bombardment plan for exterminating the Borg.
