I keep seeing this guy pop up in memes.
I’ve never seen Star Trek, but like… he makes me want to give it a go
If you do, start with TNG. And maybe even skip the first 3-4 episodes of that and watch them later
FWIW, I think the memes do the character too much credit. Not that he’s badly written; far from it. Rather, he’s a shit warrior who pretends his political ambitions are honorable. Without going into spoilers, there’s a little dialog scene late in DS9 that lays out how the Klingon Empire is not living up to its own values, people like Gowron are the reason, and Gowron himself needs to be gutted yesterday.
Just be aware there are some high highs, but also low lows. And some of the lows have aged kiiinda poorly. But overall, I’d say ST is super fun, and also generally holds true to the humanist (sentient-ist…?) vibe that TOS established and that TNG (imo) perfected.
Kelvinverse is just an action movie series though, and it canonically exists as a forked timeline, so you are free to outright ignore those in terms of lore (no not that one) if you want to.
HOW IS THIS NOT COMMON KNOWLEDGE??? I’ve already had my kids and got a vasectomy. It would be so good to have photos like these hanging on the walls for when my boys bring home partners.
Yeah you don’t do an MRI without reasons, thats probably why (very safe but less so compared to ultrasound). Also you get the live images with ultrasound I don’t think that’s standard with those big MRI systems.
There’s no danger for an mri unless you’ve had major surgery involving metal inplants. There’s no ionizing radiation so there should be no risks for the fetus.
Cost and scarcity are big limiting factors for mri though. Mri machines are massive permanent installations that cost in the millions. They are already busy with people who need diagnostics of specific conditions. Putting every expectant mother in one would lead to absurd wait times. Whereas doctors offices can have multiple little ultrasound machines on carts that are easy to quickly acquire imagining as part of routine visits.
My wife got a prenatal MRI as part of a scientific study, so I got to see my kid’s MRI face. It’s truly one of the ugliest pictures of him in existence
So you know those laws in some states where women need to be shown an ultrasound of the fetus before getting an abortion? Let’s switch those to an MRI.
Ok, ok, MRI machines are expensive, there would be a long waiting list, and it’s still unnecessary. But I’d laugh my ass off.
