Most Aviation Experts Agree That All Dogs Are Perfectly Aerodynamic And They Have Enough Basic Equipment

Most aviation experts agree that all dogs are perfectly aerodynamic and they have enough basic equipment that they should be able to fly, but no one is sure why they don't.

I sabotage every chance for people to like me.

Sandman: The Kindly Ones
This moment just popped into my head, even though I must have read it about two years ago. The panel doesn’t quite say much without the context, but even here, there is something about this presence of resignation that I find particularly moving.

Here's something you probably already know. You know those times in your dreams when you try to run, but you don't get very far? That's because your brain can't replicate the feeling of acceleration when you run in real life. So, your brain tries to consolidate, reasoning that you can't get that rushing feeling because you're not going very fast. Struggling to run harder only exacerbates the disconnect.

The worst thing about having a Star fleet, is having to compensate for relativity all the time. One minute an away team gives an update to the starship up in orbit that all is well, the next minute the team finds everyone in the ship is twenty years older because they waited too long to beam up.

The same goes on a macro scale when Starfleet Command has to keep in touch with thousands of different crafts flying throughout the galaxy, each encountering a unique gravity well which warps time and space around them at different rates.

In addition to this, even if communications operate faster than light, there are still notable delays between sending and receiving messages. On a good day, it can take a couple hours to a get a response regarding your request to enter the Neutral Zone. Combine that delay with the possibility of orbiting a planet where everything moves super-slow?

It’s a wonder half the fleet isn’t dead by the second episode.

Working with writing partners never does go the way you dream it would.
