So one of the things I've been doing during my 10+ year absence from IMWAN is making YouTube videos. The series "Star Trek... from a Submariner's Perspective" started on my channel at first, then moved to the Anti-Trekker channel and now it's back on my channel. I'll post some examples here.

One of the first ones I did...




The last one I did (as of right now)...

Ones I did for the Anti-Trekker channel...

These are some earlier ones...

Good stuff!

Might cavitation be causing warp bubbles or something that might send out or alter a FTL signature? They often can detect such things at considerable distance and must be using FTL tech, likely affecting subspace - which has different properties than the simple vacuum of space.

Yeah, they probably just used a technical term they didn't grok, which could have become jargon, and its use is probably gobbledegook or gibberish (whose use is a much greater crime than jargon) - and I don't really recall at the moment WTF they were doing, but I think it's possible to find some reason for the term when considering the multiplaner nature of space and subspace and warp fields, or some other ridiculous spore inspired piece of, well, something other than the mere vacuum of space.

So, Darin. 10 years? Really? How spacetime flies.

Welcome back.

I, for one, wasn't not amongst the Trek scoffers for those items you mentioned in these videos. I did not have a problem with this, that, or the other things you mentioned. I have lots of other problems with the shows, but not those you mentioned here.

Also, I, for one, bow down to our lizard overlords.

Thanks Brotoro and Jilerb!

This one I almost didn't include because the original commercial was replaced by the Anti-Trekker with one of his son's crude and disgusting animations. I was not a fan. But my part of the video is still decent...

This was great.

Thanks, Linda! More to come.

Darin, I'll need to see a photo of your ankles with the little wings on them before I can accept your authority. Thanks.

The videos are excellent, by the way.

Okay, I'll be honest. I didn't get the reference the first time I read this. The second time, I did.

I'm getting old, I guess.

Thanks for the compliment, Simon!

At the end of the videos you mention your book, so let's link it in this thread too:

Thanks, Linda!

BTW, I'm going to be redoing the physical edition's cover to be a bit more sensational (hopefully). I'll let y'all know when that becomes available.

I have a new video up today. It's not Star Trek related but it is "from a submariner's perspective."

Were you simply explaining an aspect of the flat earth model with Fata Morgana, or were you also endorsing it as something you believe?

Why are those the only two options? I honestly don't believe those images are of UFOs.

Well, you took time to explain your belief in UFOs did not mean belief in extraterrestrial visitors, but just a literal interpretation of the term, but not if an aspect of Fata Morgana to explain something about a belief in a flat earth also didn't mean you believed in that. So I just wondered why.

I watched a few videos (the first one and, of course, the one about my favorite Trek episode, balance of Terror).
I enjoyed them; thanks. Nice job, Darin.

Well, I am an enclosed creationist...

Enclosed? Well, you know, creationists can probably believe the world was created flat or created spherical or even created as something else if some doctrine required otherwise. But the topic might get too far into a forbidden realm for IMWAN so I'll leave it at that.

That seems wise.

New video is up! "The Size of the NX-01... from a Submariner's Perspective (featuring MetaBallStudios!)
