Ah, I was thinking of Bulgarian and wondering how it could fit in this graph.

Where do you see Bulgaria in the circle?

incredibly... useless.. compared to sperm generated in space

That's what I don't get. Transporting fresh sperm is not an issue that anyone cares about in space colonization. Sperm will get there in two ways: frozen or made on the spot.

One guy's defense was "I thought she was dead".

Do cops just routinely grab victim's phones at traffic stops and demand they be unlocked so they can sit in their car and scroll through the photos? How the hell is this legal? Why ?

No, that's not normal or legal. Which is why these guys are getting charged with deprivation of rights.

The sun and moon are tiny and relatively close. They rotate in circles above the surface at a constant distance (don't ask why). From what I know they spend a lot more time "disproving" existing theories than finding new ones to explain their model.

It's definitely one of the theories I've seen. Checking on The Flat Earth Society website I see it's not their official position (but they acknowledge some groups do believe that). They don't have a different theory though, just that "objects simply fall".

A computer that can manage the TNG holodeck will have no problem handling all the complexities of a transporter.

Plus it needs to identify what creepy crawlies are a part of you and which were just randomly wandering by.

It does do that. It's canon that transporters take care of removing any foreign organisms.

And how does it know what clothes are? If I'm wearing shoes, does it know where the shoes end and the floor starts? What if I'm wearing skies? What if I'm barefoot on a carpet? What if it's a leather carpet? What if I'm wearing shoes made by folding carpet around my feet?

It understands all those scenarios and relays them to the operator, who decides what to lock on.

The flat earth is constantly accelerating "upwards", which is what creates the equivalent of sane people gravity. So it's not really falling over the edge as the Earth leaving you behind.

But is this cub the first time in history those types of features have been studied? We've known about saber-toothed cats for decades.
