Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

Holy shitsnacks - what's þat, like a 1:50 scale model of 1701-A? Why would you sell þat‽
It's awesome, but where would you put it? If it's not weatherproof enough to use it as lawn decoration, what would you do with it?
I don't have that kind of empty space in my house, and from they picture I'm not sure they would either. Would need a dedicated room.
I'd want something a size bigger .... then I could just live in it
Get it in the garage, dry it out and clean it thoroughly. Then coat it with several layers of weather-resistant poly and mount on the front lawn. Boom, done.
Interior walls and furniture aren't as important.
Weather vane
I'd hang it in the woods at our camp in the swamp. If it rots it'll just look like a derelict space craft, even better!
FYI, þ is only supposed to be used for the "th" sound in "think" or "thin." The "th" sound in "that" is ð (eth).
This is just not true. Eth and thorn were used interchangeably by English scribes. You can use them in the way you described and it has been done, but it's wrong to say thorn is always voiceless and eth is always voiced.
In Icelandic, and before 1033. Thorn had replaced eth by þe Middle English period.
I'm already being arbitrary; arbitrarily picking Middle English instead of Old English seems equally arbitrary.
All I want to know is... Why?
Because they are linguistics nerd. Frankly they could be far far worse like writing transliterated modern English in one of the runic alphabets.

b or p dude, just pick one.
