The watermarks amusingly make it seem like Deanna is Riker’s beard, as well as his actual beard.

The actual 10 commandments:

11 Obey what I command you today. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 12 Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you. 13 Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles.[a] 14 Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

15 “Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices. 16 And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead your sons to do the same.

17 “Do not make any idols.

18 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Aviv, for in that month you came out of Egypt.

19 “The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock. 20 Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons.

“No one is to appear before me empty-handed.

21 “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.

22 “Celebrate the Festival of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Ingathering at the turn of the year.[b] 23 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. 24 I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God.

25 “Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Festival remain until morning.

26 “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God.

“Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

I can’t read mbick without it being sung in my head by Hansen

I like this alot

I want a bag of paper fibres I can sprinkle into the spill

That professor? Jeff Winger

Yup. If it keeps happening, maybe there’s a design flaw. Remember, nobody’s perfect all of the time so we need to design things to accommodate the mistakes people inevitably make.

That’s getting into ship of Theseus territory which is similar, but slightly different than the transporter paradox. It gets closer when you do the whole build another ship out of the replaced parts thing, but with the transporter there’s something that gets destroyed and that something is where your consciousness is.

Even a “perfect” copy is still a copy, and the fact that the second consciousness doesn’t rely on the first to exist (they could simultaneously exist ala William Riker) it’s a separate instance so a separate person.

Because it’s still a copy, so you still die. Imagine if there was a delay between the copy being produced and the original being destroyed, long enough for them to see each other if transported within the same room.

It is skull? If anything, it is beak

So, it’s it like a big patch, or is the fur dyed maybe? I guess they could be hairless

This was just a few posts higher on my feed

You still see the frog on the wall in the first and third panels, you just might not notice it’s colorful so the comic has a chance to do that subversion and surprise at the end.

With the way it’s structured now you aren’t surprised by the ending because it’s very clearly a poisonous looking frog.

It feels like the punchline doesn’t quite fit like it should…

I think the second panel should be leaning in for the kiss with the frog out of frame, third panel the same, a new fourth panel showing a close-up of the frog so we can retroactively piece together what happened.

True, but the amount they shrink and grow across the grain tends to be proportional. A 2x4 is very rarely measurably different from 1.5"x3.5", but a 2x10 (like you’ve shown) is 1.5"x9 1/4" but is often anywhere between 9 1/8" to 9 3/8"

It gets in the joints is his armor, and causes it to grind down and he then dehydrates.

I swear I’ve seen this exact premise about half a dozen times in web comics.

After a quick search:

I often thought that with all the trouble the Borg go through fighting all the resistance and wars and stuff they could instead just go around asking for volunteers.

Throughout the galaxy they could probably build a decent population this way, and it’s much lower risk.

Theme song slaps either way though
