/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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 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'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

Lol I had the exact same thought but Picard would know that there are only 3 shifts.

Two shift is where its at. Four day weekends twice a month!

Two shifts means you are working half the time.

3 on 4 off, then 4 on 3 off. If you just want to work and sleep, then not work, its the way to be.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

You mean 3 days sleeping 8 hours and working 16, and then 4 days off?

Because that isn't adding up to half the time working.

No, 2 shifts means there just a day and night shift, each 12 hours. Half the people from each shift are rotated off each day and night for normal operation. You end up working about 42 hours a week, but its all clustered so you get a clear divide between half of the week when you just work and sleep, and the other half where you are off.

Its popular with the military because you can easily surge staffing or fill in missing people without messing with sleep schedules. Ideally, you can double manpower at a moments notice just by canceling days off, where as with a more traditional 3 shift rotation youll have to pull from other shifts since they only have 2/7th of their manning on break at any moment.
