/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

“What is a deuterium-antimatter reaction regulated by a dilithium matrix — or in the case of Romulans, a quantum singularity; or quantum slipstream which utilizes benamite crystals, though whether it is a fuel source is ambiguous and the subject of much speculation…?”
In Jeopardy, if you provide an unintended answer that's still technically correct, and still fits the category, they'll still mark you as correct - or if they fail to, they may rectify the mistake with a change to the scores after the next commercial break.
What was the category? If it was vague enough I'd guess they'd accept either "dilithium" or "antimatter", but if it's something like "Fictional substances" then by traditional Jeopardy rules only dilithium would fit.
Jeopardy clues in general reward people who have shallow knowledge in lots of topics. As a rule of thumb when giving clues on specific topics, those clues will be answerable by an enthusiastic layman - you never really need to be an expert to get them right. If they ask a clue in a subject you do happen to be an expert in, you'll occasionally notice they get the details wrong - rarely even to the point of judging responses incorrectly.
Once, during the jeopardy Masters tournament, they prompted "The bubbly type of Alka-Seltzer can contain sodium or potassium bicarbonate, both types of this neutralizer"
Jennings didn't accept "Base" or "buffer" when looking for "Antacid"
They overturned the ruling after the break and eventually credited both answers
Yup, any time they pull psychology (my field) clues out, I usually turn to my dad and finish most responses with "well, kind of... you see..."
He gets rattled and confused by some history and government clues for the same reason.
but if it's something like "Fictional substances" then by traditional Jeopardy rules only dilithium would fit
"I'm sorry, we were looking for dilithium crystals"
if you want a quiz show that is punishing and exacting, I recommend University Challenge. It's so brutal it's probably technically death metal.
I can't accept drum and bass, we need jungle I'm afraid.
he knew what he was doing
It's supposed to be a fun show, so they really do try to help out with the clue.
I'm guessing they wanted "dilithium" and not "matter/antimatter reaction always mixed at 1:1".
Every matter/antimatter reaction will be mixed 1:1 eventually.
Good to hear. I always get clumping on the spoon no matter how well I stir.
Everytime I stick in my spoon I get a spoons worth of antimatter-matter annihilation reaction.
For me, I always get clumping on the spoon no antimatter how well I stir.
Yes, thank you Data
It is pronounced, "Data."
Technically, any matter/antimatter reaction will either end at 0:0, or 0:1 (depending on whether there's anything left of one type or the other after the reaction is complete)
The intermix ratio is always 1:1. No waste that way.
So not midi-chlorians then.
A friend of mine liked to explain that the reason why there were no engines on the Death Star was that it had a theme music drive.

According to this geek, they were flying past the 123 main thrusters while flying down the trench in the first movie.
Also they provide a ridiculous amount of thrust.
The correct answer according to Jett Reno:
If you cant provide me with a recipe link for that I'm going to make it my mission in life to find out where you live and make you pay.
Mushroom pizza is absolutely and unreservedly my favorite thing to eat anywhere ever and probably always will be and that particular one looks like about the best one I've ever seen.
I am also in the middle of a cutting phase, pizza is absolutely off the menu at the moment and I am physically angry that you made me look at this.
I think you might be cutting a little hard if you're having such intense feelings about food. Hope you can find a way to fit some comfort food into your diet.
I go hard on my cuts, the logic is like if I were doing no-fap November would I casually look at a bit of porn here and there? No, that would make it suck more and make it feel longer. Id rather get the results in 8 weeks of suck than 12. Theres room for pizza once I get back to maintenance.
Please seek out Mod Pizza.
Their megadough crust and hyper custom pizzas are the best damned thing.
Oh my god that looks delicious
What is the plot?
WHAT ARE MUSHROOMS

So what answer(s) did they accept?
For anyone else who's curious, the category was "TV Show Lingo" - so yes there are many answers that would fit!
