I've been rewatching SG1, and Samantha Carter does a lot of polarity reversing too.
“It's not working.”
“...We're
bothall reversing the polarity.”“Yes, I know that.”
“There's
twofour of us. I'm reversing it, you're reversing it back again. We're confusing the polarity!”Series pitch: t’lyn (in her absolute unhinged way) figures out how to make the shield polarity orthogonal to previous states, rendering them completely impervious to known powers, who, threatened by this, hatch a plot to infiltrate the federation and steal the technology by becoming member states. The federation’s rootbeer-like insidiousness eventually makes them give up their plot, but they still get the tech anyway because cooperation
Mostly I want to hear starfleet engineers start saying that they’re orthogonalizing the polarity, because I find that I hilariously ridiculous concept.
I couldn’t resist…
You hear that? You hear that sound? jon pertwee's coming on his hovercraft and he is pissed
Damn you, now I have to start a pertwee rewatch!
Yes, but they don't reverse the polarity of the neutron flow.
Only The Doctor can reverse the polarity of something with no polarity.
I knew you was good people Squid
So... Just as an FYI and to be that dickhole:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_electric_dipole_moment
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleon_magnetic_moment
https://inspirehep.net/literature/650244
A nonzero electric dipole moment can only exist if the centers of the negative and positive charge distribution inside the particle do not coincide. So far, no neutron EDM has been found. The current best measured limit for dn is (0.0±1.1)×10−26 e⋅cm.[1]
Trip’s the only one with cojones though. He reversed the polarity manually.
AC power in their biggest nemesis.
Hemmer was also always reversing polarity, he just made it sound more profound and quasi-metaphysical.
*Horsepeople, or horsepersons!
Those just sound like centaurs, not a reference to The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
While I agree with the sentiment, forcing it everywhere and disregarding context is a bit much, no?
If anything I think considering B'Elanna as one of the 4 horsemen without a care for sex/gender is a net positive.
I forgot the /s! Agree with everything you wrote.
