The holodeck is what you get when the writers of a science fiction series set hundreds of years in the future in a galaxy densely populated with intelligent, space-faring species who have technology to travel hundreds of times the speed of light decide that that concept is too limiting.
Also a great way to reuse some of those existing costumes and sets.
Humans have a total biomass of 3.9×10^11 kg. Let's assume our titan is magically immune to collapsing under its own weight. At human proportions, let's say a BMI of 20 for simplicity's sake, it would have a height of approximately 139,642 meters, aka about 140 kilometers or 87 miles. This is far taller than any mountain and would put it above the Kármán line, the conventionally agreed upon edge of space.
He was deafened by an ear infection after diving into a frozen pond to save his brother from drowning. Later he prevented Mr. Gower from accidentally poisoning a child when Gower was distracted by grief. I do believe Gower hit him during that sequence though, if that's what you're referring to. And yeah that last part is rough but sometimes life and history are unpleasant.
JB Pritzker has been a pleasant surprise for Illinoisans. With him being another billionaire in politics, I held my nose and voted for him the first time because he promised us legal weed and the other guy was awful.
But at every turn he's proven that he really is out there for the people and for Illinois. The rare type of billionaire who has good intentions and is satisfied with what he has and therefore can't be bought or bribed. He's consistently done good work for us and is taking a stand against the Trump administration. I'll be happy to vote for him for a third term or presidential primary.
Accomplishing things. Getting work done. Whether it's work done for survival, something more abstract like your desk job, or personal goals like chores around the house or hobbies.
As holodecks use a combination of hologram and replicator technology you can suppose that when they were first installed on the Enterprise they would fully replicate simple objects that people were likely to interact with, such as the snowball Wesley threw or the piece of paper Data carries off. When Picard got hit in the face with a snowball, maybe he told engineering "hey this is unsafe and inappropriate for the flagship of Starfleet, can we get that changed?" Since it was a fairly low-level ticket or maybe because it was a tough fix, it took them a while to get it implemented. So for a while you may see the odd object carried off the holodeck, but by the time of "Ship in a Bottle" that issue has long been solved and nothing can be taken off the holodeck.
