/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.
Oh no you haven’t been drinking out of that have you? That’s Odo’s bucket…
Nothing like a steaming hot mug of constable in the morning to get you going!
Is that supposed to be discouraging?
Ah, the HotJo Travel Mug. My favorite tea mug. I had it for years before realizing it was similar (not quite the same) as the ones on DS9. That is a new color they offer. I used to have a black one, but I broke it and dropped it and they don't make those anymore. Then, for a while, they only made white ones. Finally, last year, they made a handful of other colors. I asked and received one of that color by my wife at Christmas. Enjoy yours!

Edit 2: My mug in case anyone calls me a dirty, filthy liar!
It is slightly different, but that is because the producers contracted HighWave, the makers of HotJo, for a custom version. Unfortunately, it's the closest we can get at the moment. I keep hoping for a special run, maybe for an anniversary. Last year would have been the 30 though.
Close enough for me, especially since it became my favorite mug long before I realized the Star Trek connection. That's just an added cool factor.

Beautiful ... good for you! and kodos to your wife! you are truly a lucky man.

Curious to know if there are spillage issues with the wider base.
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.
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.
Where?!
You have inflicted a terrible curse on my wallet.
Also, thanks!
That's why you need a wife to get one for you for Christmas. It worked for me!
Yeah, but Christmas is a ways off...
Oh! Father's Day is coming up though!
April fools day is coming and I'm pretty sure I qualify
There's no way I don't qualify for that one, maybe I could get two...
Thanks. Not crazy about the idea of the rubber bottom though. I use a tea light a lot to keep my drink warm.
I imagine you could take the bottom off, but it is a very thick mug, so I don't know that a tea light would work.
I’d like to know too.
Please tell us OP!
Seriously, I want one too!
It's great! I've been wanting to do this for ages. Nice find.
I think you mean a Babylon 5 mug 😉
