      @twocvbloke Місяць тому +1

      If it's a bearing as others suggest, then the Enterprise would have had to do 2x spins on the spot (360 plus 360 for 720) plus another 29 degrees for the 749, of course it also isn't a spatial co-ordinate either as you need the X Y and Z on a star chart to locate it...

Also, as a resident of The Bronx, NYC, Kris deserves extra credit for his fine fashion sense, sporting a NY Yankees hat. To "balance the terms of their next engagement," perhaps Sean's questions should be formatted in multiple choice or true and false formats.

    And this why yall should have kept Adam Clery (unless he did something problematic that we don't know about, if so disregard this comment) Sean, I would give you a trellium down for that performance, but that's too good. You get a Cardassian Vole Dung down. I'm so disappointed. When you return from your training with Alexander, we expect better.
