Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

    Every argument I have ever heard boils down to “in my specific use-case because of X Y Z and Purple, all the benefits of wired are irrelevant” and the people espousing such opinions don’t at all take into consideration that other people exists and their specific use-case is not at all widely experienced.

    “My tinnitus means I can’t distinguish high tones well” okay buddy, but how many other people enjoy distinct highs?

    “I move around too much so Bluetooth is the only practical solution” okay my friend, but many people either don’t have that problem, or they’ve found a solution.






  • I sent the first news story about the signal chats to my parents ands in-laws in a big group that said “I had better never fucking hear another one of you dumbasses say a word about ‘HeR eEeEeEmAiLs’ ever again”

    Not a single one replied, both parents have (according to my wife) started taking Facebook posts they’ve made in the past down, and my in-laws have not said a political word in over a week. It’s been refreshing.

    They clearly aren’t ready to accept they may have been totally wrong all along, but it’s nice to see they might be self-aware enough to recognize when they might be potentially maybe SOMETIMES be less than correct about specific things.

    You need a microscope to see it, but i consider it a step up.




  • Honestly that just sounds like someone who just forgot to keep drinking while experiencing couch lock… When I’m smoking sativa strains like last night, I am perfectly okay the next day since I’m much more active, and therefore drink more liquids, than when smoking indica strains.

    While I’m sure it happens, it’s just not a thing for me or my wife and her friends I guess.

    I know someone who loves to smoke, but every time she does, her hands start shaking noticeably, but not enough to need help with things. Except maybe pouring a drink.




  • Is it considered normal to type out a normal question format when using search engines?

    If I were looking for an answer instead of making a funny meme, I’d search “heat movie cast Angelina Jolie” if I didn’t feel like putting any effort in.

    Then again, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve seen someone use their phone to search google “what is 87÷167?” instead of doing “87/167” or like… Opening the calculator…

    People do things in different, sometimes weird ways.




  • Indeed.

    Despite my own work in making knives and other blacksmithing things, where I LITERALLY have a magnet on my anvil so I can test for when the steel hits it’s austenitic temp, I somehow managed to forget the iron will go non magnetic…

    So yeah. Thanks for the reminder!

    In my defense I haven’t made any knives since moving a year ago…

    However, this is aluminum I think? I’m not entirely sure how magnetism works with lenzs law and if there’s a temperature it stops working…


  • Make everyone see all the flags and just TRY to go on about how un-American or non-patriotic or how “against America” the protests are.

    When the riot police get sent in, make sure everyone sees the fascist lapdogs beating true Americans in an extremely obvious “these police hate real Americans, you could be next” message.

    It’s a small thing that I think most on the left don’t seem to appreciate enough. You may not have any particularly strong feelings about a piece of cloth/plastic that’s probably made in China. I know I don’t.

    But they do. The right LOVES using the flag at any and every opportunity, because it works on the people who vote for them.
