You'd only notice it if you measured and are looking for it.

Six Feet Under
Six Feet Under is the 22nd episode of Season 2, and is episode 44 of the full 210 episodes for the entire series. In this episode, Ray finds out that he shrunk a little, and is no longer six feet tall. Episode Title: Six Feet Under Episode Number: Season 2, Episode 22 (#44 of 210) Air Date...
Chiropractor noted it. LOL Said I need to be stretched out on the rack to get some of my height back...
A rack is a medieval device of torture.
Still used today.
What?!
Haven't you ever heard the term "Hitting the rack?"
We now torture racks...apparently.

Fascinating idea, but i'm sure some will say "The Cage" is just as different from SNW as WNMHGB is.
Well, it can be...
I thought it was the Comfy Chair and the Soft Cushions.
To steal an line from Lucy Lawless "every time you notice something like that a time traveling Romulan did it" so there are no continuity mistakes just an unlimited number of universes
Personal head canon: Vulcans didn't develop Matter/Anti-matter powered warp drive, humans did. Humans were the only species reckless enough to research the technology, -and- insane enough to use it. Evidence: In Star Trek "Balance of Terror" S01E08 Scotty notes that the Romulan ship can easily be dealt with, as it's _only_ impulse powered:
SCOTT: No question. Their power is simple impulse.
KIRK: Meaning we can outrun them?
STILES: To be used in chasing them or retreating, sir?
This implies that the power source is capable of providing enough power to propel the vessel at faster-than-light speeds, but not so capable as to outrun the Enterprise, which is using Matter/Anti-matter for a power source.
Further, the Vulcan warp sled from TMP echoes that design in that the nacelles themselves seem to contain the impulse drive section.

TNG and SNW did later establish that Romulan ships use artificial quantum singularities to power their warp engines, so that might track.
True, but, one of the 'old' ideas that I remember being bandied about was the "magical " nature of the matter/antimatter reaction...
You will find that this is mentioned in TMOST in the chapter named 'The USS Enterprise ' - only a matter/antimatter reaction is "strong" enough to power warp drive.
But...
Energy is Energy.
So a fusion reaction should be "good enough ".
Theoretically a gasoline internal combination engine could...
But terrible MPG...
So, simple impulse is good enough for warp factor two...
An oversized fusion reactor, with a plasma accelerator plus a symmetric warp field governor good enough for warp factor three...
An antimatter spiked version good enough for warp factor four, and with multiple plasma accelerators warp factor five...again using antimatter to spike the plasma accelerators.
This is what I see.

My head canon is this is why Romulans bought and used Klingon ships in the TOS era. Romulan resources were devoted to developing their quantum singularity propulsion system so they purchased ships to supplement the fleet until they accomplished this design goal.
We sell them as exercise equipment.
Personal head canon: TNG forward id completely disconnected from TOS. Separate timeline altogether.
