They partly answered this in a DS9 episode where the patterns of 4 people required most of station memory and the holosweets memory to hold onto. The pattern buffer seems to be some sort of massive volitile storage system designed specifically to hold transporter patterns for short times.

Aside from the many folks here wisely noting that in all likelihood all a transporter is doing is killing you and making a copy of you at some other location, I’ll add in another huge implication of the technology that is never explored in Star Trek: why do I need weapons when I have a transporter?

There are several failsafes that I know of - the Heisenberg compensators, the containment beam system, the bio-filters, the transport buffers, and then there are always the pattern enhancers for weak signals, not to mention the massive nearly AI computer handling all the fine tunery necessary for it to be controlled…

Semi-reformed Trekkie here. One of the “safety precautions” is the transporter buffer. Essentially a “backup copy” of everything it broke down, and flung across space. That is how Scotty was able to stay alive so long after his ship crashed into the Dyson sphere (Next generation episode: Relics.)

The restaurant says they were closed, but the women say the restaurant was open because people were still dining. Anyone who’s worked service knows a closed restaurant often has people in it well beyond the official closing time, and while the public may still be inside, no one new gets to come in.

The problem is disproportionate coverage that creates the incorrect impression that semi-autonomous vehicles—and in particular Teslas—are inherently dangerous in and of themselves.

Conway is Team Trump through and through, and she is anything but stupid. So if she shit talked on the record, it was a calculation. There are few people in this administration I would say this about, but if Conway is doing this with one hand, we all need to keep an eye out for what’s happening with the other.

Well, the confusion was understandable, seeing how the motorcycle was traveling at a very aggressive 17 MPH.

This flashlight’s description (both on here and on the Amazon ad) is a little deceiving. This light doesn’t really “powered by water”, it’s more “water activated”.

Ah, you must not have seen an American road before

I’m a little not in-the-know about this, admittedly, but didn’t she call for the boycott of sports team sponsors? Like, probably the same people who sponsor ESPN? That’s a career limiting move in any industry. Whether or not you think she’s right for calling them out, there’s no way ANY company will stand for an…

To add something, because people are being daft. Why are people under the impression that rich people are a different breed? That they somehow behave differently than ANY of us would if we had $2.5 billion in the bank.
Bear in mind Notch has extremely humble beginnings, as humble as the majority of people here. He…
