Wow, you could probably make a fortune by reselling them to Star-Trek fans for thrice the price!

Me neither.
I hope it’s not just mixing up “meteor” with “meteorology”, but this hope is sinking the longer I think about it…


Yes, sounds a bit like from Spaceballs, but I don’t think the “Enhance” trope is that old…
randos shouldn’t (ordinarily) be messing with the plants
But the meme doesn’t talk about randos.
It specifically mentions the meme creator seeing someone “cleaning invasives”, implying that all people involved have some level of competence and know what’s going and that there isn’t any reason to pretend to be a blind pirate.
Yeah, I guessed that much myself by now.
So there is no deeper meaning but the meme is just crappily ill-defined and because of this actually doesn’t make sense.
I did, even did some additional research trying to clear up ambiguous terms (what’s a “conversation area”?) and looked up rules in another country (US) that was referenced by a less confused person.
Meme still doesn’t make sense.
Should even be the complete opposite.
If you recognize it, report invasive species!
If there are hidden context clues I missed, please point them out to me, so that I will learn why I am the moron and not some of the others here that post stuff that just don’t make sense given the facts.
Is the original post perhaps satire of some kind?
I didn’t see it.
Why?
But in that case, pretending to be a blind prirate makes even less sense!
From the National Park Service website:
Report invasive species. Locating invasive species just as they are beginning to invade an area and treating new infestations quickly is a management approach called Early Detection Rapid Response (EDRR). In a national park, let a ranger know when you spot invasive species. They will want to know the location (GPS coordinates if possible), the name of the invasive species, when you saw it, and photos of the species.
So thoroughly note it and report that stuff!
ls “conservation land” something special, then?
English Wikipedia seems not to know it, and dictionary translated it to “Landschaftsschutzgebiet” in my language, which is like the most unprotective “protection” category there is.
Basically you could even build a huge tourist ressort or industrial complex in one of those if you know what you are doing…
OK…
But would it be a problem if I did?
Or are there areas to protect invasive species? I don’t think that’s a thing?
So, still don’t get it.
Why would you become a blind pirate?
I don’t get it.


That also seems to be a port of the orignal “Star Trek” from 1971 that I was thinking about and playing on my calculator back in the 90s! :-)


I did a quick search.
Game I played on the calculator was Space Trek 48.
Much more refined compared to the simple naval 10x10 naval battle.
Based on Star Trek from 1971.
Major milestone in computer gaming history.


l remember a Star Trek themed computer game from the olden times (70s I think) that essentially worked like that.
My HP calculator had a port running which I played extensively during boring lectures while studying.


Hey, I think this is highly toxic!
;-)


… I always assumed season 3 to be the bad one.
I personally actually liked the first two, Enterprise’s start seasons are better than TNG’s, imho.
Am I the only one?


Out of interest I extracted the transcript of the video (watching was out of the question, >3 h 😯) and went over the summary.
Basically three main topics they seem to cover:
.
So, while points 1. and 2. seem nothing to bother about, the third point actually might be something to keep in mind. But this is true for basically all youtubers beyond the hobbyist stage, with some notable exceptions, like the TLDR channel, that try to be as transparent as possible regarding their finances.
In most cases you just don’t know what hidden agendas exist, mainly because of financial pressures.
To slightly adept one of Sabine’s statements Dave was criticizing:
“I don’t trust youtubers.”


A, I see.
It’s mainly about her extreme critics regarding current scientific methods and academic communities?
I have to confess that I am ignoring these, as I am not involved enough with basic research to assess the validity of her accusations. And I also thought of these videos as being somewhat over the top, too shrill and somewhat overly harsh for my taste.
I didn’t notice anything questionable in her normal science topics though, e.g. when discussing papers as in my link.
She always seem to me very grounded and also handles critics well and readily admits errors.


That’s new.
You certainly have a source or link?
As a Picard-fan and Earl Grey connoisseur I would totally buy it for that price!
Would be willing to spend even more for a Raktajino cup like from DS9…
