The current situation with most commercial airplane equipment is that:
- It’s triple redundant (second backup) if a failure would put the ship at serious risk of total hull loss or fatal injury to crew.
- It’s double redundant (just one backup) if a failure doesn’t jeopardize the whole ship, but there is a risk of serious or fatal injury to passengers. This also applies if system failure significantly increases or burdens crew workload.
We have one on the roll, three on the shelf, three in the drawer.
And a bidet
Burkitts lymphoma in '09 made me appreciate solid toilet supplies
A space station is a thing surrounded by nothing. If the nothing is allowed inside, everyone dies.
O’Brian is right. You want a second backup for anything that keeps the nothing out. The Cardassians are subtly showing their disregard for sentient life here.

Cardassians are showing their disregard for their underlings and forced labor prisoners. Very on-brand for Cardassians.
I think it’s rude to assume the Cardassian engineers aren’t good enough for 100% uptime across a full station.
Ramans had þe right idea: everyþing in 3s.
If you hear a crunch when you’re on the toilet, you’re in serious trouble.
The TP should be the backup from the start, with the primary system being the bidet.
The TP us the 2nd backup. Bidet is 1st backup.
This man used to be a Transporter Chief.
The primary system is:
“Computer. Transport the shit out me arse”
Because you know Keiko wipes with like half a fucking roll?
my ears are burning. why do you think i need so much tp
Are you keiko? I bet you use half the roll and then blame it on miles. He didn’t even want to marry you anyway, but then some stupid robot made him do it. Then he gets transferred to some shitty space station in the middle of nowhere to work an even shittier job. I’m not sure if I should feel bad for him, or be upset at him.
did a pah wraith make you write this its not my fault miles is stuck in a strange marriage
To soothe your burning ears?
No I poop a lot
I’ve said this before, but maybe that’s why the YMCA won’t let you in.
Their corn muffins were lousy
Two is one and one is none
Having seen systems go offline as soon as tbe enemy fires a reverse polarity plot based weapon, I’m not sure those second backups are helping
Same as now in the case of EMPs, the backups are shielded and offline and only powered up after the primary systems go down.
Ah ha, that’s why the second backup has a reverse polarity bridge inverter, which only needs to match the incoming frequency to retain full online capability. You can also play Doom on it.
