Sovereign InquiryIn Star Trek, there are often unseen threats lurking around a celestial corner. A cloaked ship could decloak and attack, meteoroids and exotic energy things could come out of nowhere, ships could approach on a collision course, and many other threats exist that could do devastating damage to your...

Q: Is short space combat range in Star Trek ever addressed in-universe?

Danila SmirnovJudging by the ship sizes given and fighting ships fitting on the TV screen, most depicted combat in Star Trek happens at around 5 to 10 kilometers range. As an answer to another question states, Federation weapons range far exceed that distance. Other factions that use other weapons (disruptors,...

Q: Im looking for a book and could use some help?

Geoff117I read this book or half the book in middle school, roughly around 2012. I cant remember much bout the plot, but it had a purple cover that had a picture of purple leather with golden corner frames and some variation spelling of the word magic as the title. I know there's a boy who doesn't have a...

Q: What happens to the iron throne between the House of Dragon timeline and the Games of Thrones timeline?

Yu ZhangAs we can see from the House of Dragon, the iron throne looks different from the one we see from the Games of Thrones. In addition to all the melted swords that form the chair, there are lots more to both the left and the right, looking like small bushes. Do we know what happens to the additional...

@DavidW don't jinx it :P

@DavidW I just see them as easy edits 🤷‍♂️
In fact I prefer those to generic "I'm looking for a book" type posts (not that isn't overlap)

I just got socratic for the first time in ~6 years
13:20
I still haven't earned it once.
Not enough things to ask about.
13:47
Okay, there we go. Question 70k is a decent (if I may say so myself) story-id question, and I'm hopefully one step closer to a Socratic badge.
Only just in time

Q: Short story where people can be teleoperated in order to have someone with more skill do something for them

DavidWThis feels like something I would have read in the mid-1980s in Analog magazine, but I no longer have access to them. In the story people can purchase implants that allow themselves to be teleoperated; I believe one of the examples is someone who is extremely shy and self-conscious who has a much...

@DavidW Hahaha! Well done!
@Marvin Did you look at the Wikipedia article for the story? The "Sources" section lacks specific citations but seems otherwise fairly complete.

Q: Sci-fi book: a girl lives on a pink sea world and colonists arrive

jujiThis was a library book I read as a child, and I can't remember what it was called. It was the late 80s/early 90s? It had a pink cover, I think. Paperback. A girl is on an alien planet totally covered by sea, the sea may have been pink, or the sky was pink. Some colonist aliens arrive in a huge, ...

@AncientSwordRage Congrats! Only DVK, Sachin, Major Stackings, FuzzyBoots, and now you have achieved triple Socratic here.
@DavidW @fez It won't stay the 70kth forever though. Probably some older stuff will end up deleted.

@Randal'Thor I realized that. But as long as the total doesn't drop back below 70k, nobody will notice. :)

@Randal'Thor I didn't realise it was that rare!

Q: YA book about a haunted house that turns out to be The House of Usher

SavannaI read this book in the early 2000's. I remember the cover being a drooling boy with white hair and a house on a hill in the background. The boy on the cover is a character that was dared to stay in the house overnight, and he was found wandering the next morning, his hair turned white and his mi...

Q: cartoon about three kids that are trained by an old lady to fight

user158481I've been trying to remember this one cartoon I watched a long time ago but can't remember its name but I do remember one specific episode where the antagonist messes with the past so the kids aren't raised by the old lady and instead she teaches this one kid who wheres a mascot costume and uses ...

Yargh. Forget 5/15, I'm currently 6/10! Someone help me! :)
(4 of those were fixing the tags on first questions, so I'm not intentionally taking over the front page.)

@DavidW I think you're good now
Can we nuke the tag?
@Mithical Per the tag guidance it looks like there's a single possibly correct usage of it. So I'd say go for it.
It can be removed from three questions and then merged into .
