The Union’s medical technology is notably more advanced than the Federation’s, yes. Dr. Finn would have Pike up and walking in an afternoon.

In an early episode of the Orville, Gordon and Isaac get into a prank war which culminates in Isaac removing Gordon’s leg. This is treated as going a little bit too far but ultimately harmless and funny.
In Star Trek, they tend to prefer to mitigate risks protectively with things like anti-grav harnesses and holodeck safeties, except for exceptionally reckless individuals like James T. Kirk and Jason Vigo.
Both the Maquis and the Bajoran Resistance are justified, it is always morally correct to attack fascists.
the ! addressing allows you to post a link that anybody can click to get their instance’s version of the community link. So for example, !linux@lemmy.ml posted anywhere on lemmy becomes a link to https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/linux@lemmy.ml for me, but the exact same link is a link to https://aussie.zone/c/linux@lemmy.ml for you

Think of the poor cluster bomb manufacturers. How will they maximize shareholder value if nobody uses their widely banned weapons that mostly kill civilians?
Traffic is caused by cars. Any affordance made for more cars will only and always make more traffic.
Tradition, one of the worst reasons on earth to do anything.
It will not fix everyone slowing down to a crawl, it will lead to more people driving when they should be taking a train and make traffic worse. This is the only possible result of road widening.

Which means the things I’m in the middle of tend to be web serials since I can’t just rush through. I’ve got dozens of tabs of royalroad open in my phone’s browser. Everything by Ravensdagger is good, and I’ve been enjoying Return of the Runebound Professor and Let’s Not Obliterate, and awaiting the scheduled return from hiatus of Ends of Magic on Monday.
Adding lanes has literally never fixed traffic anywhere ever.

Laptop and Chromebook are two very different things. A laptop is sufficient for any use case that doesn’t demand GPU power, but if you’re ever considering buying a “gaming” laptop, don’t. You can get a cheap laptop and a decent gaming desktop for the same price and they’ll last you longer and run better.
A Chromebook is just walled garden bullshit.
