    Of the hundreds I have I have yet to carry a coffin. But regularly carry caskets. Even green burials which take place in wicker and reed “boxes” … They are made in flate panels and then strung together to form a large basket still refered to as a casket.

    This is quite literally down my area of operation though… some mayoffer coffins but know it isn’t a matter of just cost but sometimes offerings in the local area as well as regulations and customs … though most of it is very similar there can be quite wildly different processes.

    The search for alternatives wasnt for nothing. They found out there were ramifications from the warp travel.

    Oh look a post from the unnamed sites

    I’ll save you the click and…

    The reason it was dropped is that it’s simply an annoying restriction for the writers. One of the relaunch books (either Articles Of The Federation or A Singular Destiny, I can’t remember which) says that the once the Enterprise crew discovered proof of the damage to subspace, pretty much every major science institute on the Federation (and many outside of the Federation) got on the problem, and within about six months (the in-universe period of time in which characters referenced the speed limitations) determined that it was a systemic design flaw in Federation warp drives. The restrictions were dropped, and ships began updating throughout known space.

    Not all ships necessarily make the updates in recommended time (even within Starfleet) because of, um, various spoilery events. The problem turns up again later.

    In any case, if all warp drives were really inherently damaging to subspace, the rifts would be virtually everywhere because of all the extinct civilizations that have used warp drive. While it’s an interesting premise in an interesting episode, it doesn’t really hold up.

    sooner or later you’re going to run into somebody who’s crunching the numbers and is losing tons and tons of money you’re not just generating funds by watching the market spiral down. Yes this thing will with all best intense start bouncing back upwards and will improve but that doesn’t mean in the meantime that things aren’t going to be extremely bad and you may end up seeing almost literal bloodshed from some companies simply due to the manner in which things are made and as much as we want to complain about this we don’t have the ability to just up and make manufacturing. Nor do you just have the ability to make capacity overnight. To steal an old quote. Rome wasn’t built overnight. In the same time Neither did we paint ourselves into this corner. These things tend to be fixed easier when you give it time as opposed to trying to do knee-jerk reactions that end up just sending everything into absolute turmoil for no particular reason other than the current Any change is at least change…?
