Exclamation Knuckle Under - Never

8-3-2022
(More Personal Opinions)

For us to knuckle-under to threatened aggression now, or at anytime, would be an open invitation to any “World-Wide Thug Mentality’ to just march right in – and to gobble-up anything that they damned-well please – ‘And That - Has (unfortunately) Always Been A Fact!!’ And any damned fool who thinks, even for a moment, that “Our Uncle Sam” is asleep at the controls, regardless of their political leanings, has been overly puffing-upon the wrong weed!! And it makes absolutely no difference where in the ‘Hell’ they are, (or when this occurs) if they mean to have a war, then let it begin right here (Quoting Our Great American Patriots, 19 April 1775)!!!! And it is about damned time that “Our Politicians”, once again, start acting like they have a pair, and remember who (and what) they truly represent! And although no one in their right mind ever really courts a war (or a conflict of any kind), only a damned fool thinks that appeasement, or showing their back-side to any potential enemy (anywhere upon this earth), is ever going to quell the thirst, the lust, or the insatiable hunger of any bloodthirsty adversary! And as far as their “overly-ripe rhetoric” is concerned, it must also be remembered that “Nukes & Fools Do Not Mix, Nor Do They Ever Discriminate!!”And for those potential enemies who mistakenly believe that “Our Lady Liberty” has been asleep at the reins for all of these years and no matter where they may reside, I have but two words for them- “THINK AGAIN!!” And Always Remember This: “We can be an international friend, or we can be an ultra-mighty and super-determined foe, and only politics (and a few foolish politicians) will ultimately determine that – and so it is!!” (Corbomite Rhetoric Indeed)?!?!

Wink The Corbomit Maneuver - extended data

The Corbomite Maneuver
Re: https://www.startrek.com/database_ar...e-maneuver-the

Topic(s): Chemistry 101

Subject: Is Element 140 possible?
-
However, extended periodic table theories predicted about chemical elements beyond these 118 elements. According to this, Corbomite (Ct) is a chemical element with atomic number 140. However, in real-life science, element 140 has yet to be identified.

Did you know there is a Element 119?

Ununennium, also known as eka-francium or element 119, is the hypothetical chemical element with symbol Uue and atomic number 119. Ununennium and Uue are the temporary systematic IUPAC name and symbol respectively, which are used until the element is discovered, confirmed, and a permanent name is decided upon.

and as of;

As of April 2022, synthesis has been attempted for every element up to and including unbiseptium (Z = 127), except unbitrium (Z = 123), with the heaviest successfully synthesized element being oganesson in 2002 and the most recent discovery being that of tennessine in 2010.

What are the new element(s) called?

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has announced that recently discovered elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 will now be known as nihonium, moscovium, tennessine and oganesson, pending a public review.

But: As for the Star Trek Corbomite Maneuve (see below):

While exploring an uncharted region of space, the U.S.S. Enterprise comes upon an alien space buoy which is cube-shaped and spins, warning ships away and blocking the starship's path. Kirk's orders the phasers to destroy the buoy but immediately an alien's ship, the I.S.S. Fesarius, shaped like a large, glowing crystal traps the starship.

A ghostly, almost skeletal face appears on the viewscreen, identifying itself as Balok. He tells Kirk that the U.S.S. Enterprise has trespassed and committed hostile actions, and therefore, must be destroyed. Employing a trick from the Earth game of poker, Kirk tries a desperate bluff by convincing Balok that if the Enterprise is fired upon, the corbomite in the starship's hull will self-destruct and destroy both ships.

Believing Kirk, the Fesarius instead takes the starship in tow, but Kirk wrenches his ship away so suddenly and with such force that Balok's ship is apparently disabled. When the Fesarius transmits a distress call, Kirk, McCoy and Lieutenant David Bailey, still nervous about the bluff played against the powerful alien, beam aboard the Fesarius.

They find that the Fesarius is manned by only one entity, a friendly, child-like being who projects the 'Balok' image to potential enemies, knowing his own stature would be far less daunting. They also find that Balok's ship has not been damaged, but that the alien was merely testing the U.S.S. Enterprise crew to see if they were as peaceful as they claimed to be. A kind of diplomatic relationship is formed over drinks of tranya, and Lt. Bailey offers to remain with Balok as a sort of exchange student to learn the alien's ways and teach him about the Federation.
