  • Not a historian but I did grow up on a horse in hot af weather. Long sleeves even in heat for a few reasons: 1 bugs, until you’ve sat on a horse you’ll never realize how many bugs they deal with in life, you do not want to get bit by a horsefly trust me 2 farmers tans suck 3 it’s really not that bad up there even in 100f/38ish c weather 4 you get used to it and the horse is doing most of the work 5 even if you’re not on the horse, you can always roll up the sleeve or unbutton the shirt it’s not like you’re trapped in a long sleeve shirt like it’s welded onto you or anything 6 it only sucks bad when you have to dig fence posts in 100f/38ish c weather, then yeah gotta be careful but generally you did the hard work in morning then kinda slacked off during midday

    I grew up in North Dakota though so dunno my knowledge is more like dances with wolves. Our hottest day growing up was 114f/45ish c, I didn’t do jack that day except sit in front of a fan in the house with ac on full blast drinking ice water.

    I do miss my horse from back then though, she was the best cow sense horse for wrangling cow herds. Miss ya Smokey.







  • Heh, well even by that definition I’d still say it’s the og enterprise. If we’re taking the nautical pov on things like a wooden sailing ship, they often had similar refit type work and were always the same “ship”. Example, Tally Ho rebuild on YouTube, you can argue all you want that there is barely any of the 1910 ship left, but no mariner would argue as such. The idea and spirit of the Tally Ho is alive in the rebuilt ship. She is as much the original as she is now or will be in the future.

    Really it’s just a question of lineage or even idea. Much like a human with say cosmetic surgery to look like Barbie or Ken, the person is the same the bones are still there as it were. The name remains, the ship will change, or if you will the 4d path in time describes the ship through history.


  • Im gonna that guy your that guy. If this is the refit it’s still the original enterprise. It’s no different to the ship of Theseus question, if anything it’s simpler than that old canard, so I’d say it’s still the same ship just upgraded.

    The equivalent would be to require all pictures of some actor only be when they were young. I challenge your premise at the axiom here as it’s the same ship just upgraded at a point in time.
