/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

I have been trying to find a reasonably priced hotjo mug for years now in the deep purple color. I saw a bunch of other colors or ones that looked close to the one I wanted but just couldn't find the exact one I wanted. Well, yesterday my wife gave me the best valentines day gift ever! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a Raktajino to make.
Curious to know if there are spillage issues with the wider base.
those triangular-shaped coffee-mugs were really popular for a while in the 80s and 90s as they were supposed to be more difficult to tip over and/or spill the contents when being carried around/jostled. they were especially popular for those who liked to drive with their coffee, until it just became clear that i was simpler to design insulated mugs with lids.
I think where they really shine is on a desk, where you’re not dealing with cup holders , but a wide base and low center of gravity gives you a puncher’s chance if you happen to bump into it while grabbing for a pen or a book or something.
The mug OP and I have about is also nice and heavy, which also makes it difficult to knock over.
i always thought so, too. they also were always good for quickly picking up and putting down while full without worrying about spilling everywhere.
This was my dad's "taking coffee to work" mug. His '83 Volvo didn't have cup holders, but did have a wide flat area between the driver and passenger seat where the parking break was located. I'm sure an after market cup holder could have been arranged but this worked well.
They were so popular that it was one of two options in ceramic mug blanks that we would glaze and kiln for school projects for father's day. We did vases for mother's day.
Quite the opposite. That was the original reason I got mine without realizing it was on DS9. My parents had a similar type of mug they drank tea out of in the 80s that I always liked because it looked like a little nuclear power plant chimney, but they got it because the wide base made it much harder to knock over.
Edit: Theirs looked like one of these, but there were no logos on them.
I totally had one of these for like three days until some asshole at work stole it. Lol.
Honestly these designs are perfect. The long narrow neck makes splashing much less of an issue than a traditional straight walled mug. and the mug also comes with a little plastic insert that you can use to keep it warmer for longer and reduce spillage even more. I never use it but I have a bunch of these mugs and I love them.
Good to know, thanks. Now I must find one in the right color.
This has a rubber pad on the bottom of it so one it is on a desk or table it's not gonna spill unless you really try.
