TNG also brought up raising the continental shelf to create more livable space. Picard's brother was working on that.

They might have chosen to do so automatically. It's a lot easier to earn a profit if you look like a presentable businessferengi, especially when you're not going to be fined for wearing said clothes.

So did the events of “All Good Things…” actually occur or did the temporal incursion being fixed rendered it non-existent? After all, Q was testing Jean-Luc. Only Jean-Luc had memory of what happened. Sub-question: did Jean-Luc actually have a correctly diagnosed irumodic syndrome in the anti-timeline future?

Yes. Although it is implied that the extent of the Q testing Picard was by pushing him to cause the problem in the first place, rather than creating it themselves, so that he would realise how it could be fixed, as an example of human thinking beyond their expectations.

We see in Trek that the future is always in Flux. While he had Irumodic syndrome in that future or something like it, in the present, it wasn't actually, but something else like it. There may be a thousand things that could have caused it, that we're not privy to. A space anomaly happens about once a week, and the manifestation of Irumodic syndrome itself might only have happened by chance, like the anti-time anomaly preventing the formation of life on Earth.

At the very least, in the future, there seemed to be no doubt that Picard presented with Irumodic syndrome, enough for his time-jumps to be considered just one of the symptoms.

What if he does a Harold Holt and mysteriously vanishes, never to be seen again?

Mp3 is already compressed, as is the MP2 CDs use.

If it wasn't conpressed, you'd be looking at CDs per track, instead of tracks per CD.

Or a Netflix for children/video editing app for primary schoolers in the early 2000s/late 1900s.

You do get sick, and I would be most surprised if they didnt allow people to look away and take breaks/get support as needed.

Most emergency line operators and similar kinds of inspectors get them, so it would be odd if they did not.

It's basically the same motivation as people who have a gun and are itching for the apocalypse so they can loose the safeties.

Even saying that it's righteous violence is ascribing positive motivations that may not exist. They're just looking for someone to attack, and an alleged paedophile is a socially acceptable target to unleash that violence on.

Not only that, but it both reduces the chance of someone going to get help, because they don't want to be hunted down, and reporting, because someone who knows of them might not want to see them be lynched, and won't report them for that reason.

That's the customer answer, where they give an age in leap years, and everything goes to pot.

Surely that would very a lot depending on where they get their energy from? Even the most measly household solar panel can deliver 10W to a charger, in which case, the energy impact would be negligible.

It's also safer, because you're not connecting something that might carry data to the USB port. Wireless charging cannot transmit data. USB can, so delivering a virus or something that way isn't out of the question, where it would be harder to do that over wireless charging.

That doesn't sound correct, considering the amount of wireless chargers that will take 10W, but can only deliver half that to the phone.

I'm surprised that you can wirelessly charge like that. In my experience, wireless chargers are really finicky about positioning, unless they have some multiple-coil trickery going on, which a lot of battery pack chargers generally don't. Having them in a pants pocket seems like a really good way to throw that alignment off.

On my S5, there's a little flap that you had to open and close to maintain the IP67 rating. Constantly opening and closing it was a recipe to breaking it off, where wireless didn't put that kind of wear in.

With my newer phone, it's easier to keep the cable with a battery pack to charge when out and about, and charge wirelessly at home, since I generally don't need it done with any great speed, and it saves having to buy/replace another cable, or forgetting to unpack and take it with me.

Qi charging is also pretty standard, which is also good if I have a few devices with different cable needs, but mutually support the same wireless charging standard, since I can put an iPhone and an android on the same pad, without having to swap cables back and forth.

Although most phones made in the past decade will detect that, and suspend wireless (and possibly wired) charging if the phone's circuits are heating, until the temperature drops.

But art is also one of the most fundamental things everyone learns to do. Literal children learn to do art, and doodling is something everyone knows how to do.

Although I do think that the issue is exacerbated by the enthusiast-types who will tune a model on someone's work as a form of vengeance, and smugly brag about how they can have the computer crunch out something approximating their work.

They're too big to fail. At least, they were, but they're scaling back these days, so they may be sanctioned sooner or later.

That's why we should abolish mental health care for soldiers. They're not physically disabled. Shell shock is just mental weakness, compared to their disabled comrades (!)

No, they are. There was a spam wave some time ago that had people upload gore and other things onto instances.
