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.

  • Best I can do is clean out half a storage closet, put a broken wobbly chair in it, replace the warm orange-hued light with a harsh fluorescent one, put a security camera pointing directly at the chair, and then lock the closet so you have to ask to get in.

  • Actually, having been on reddit for over a decade before I left, I’d agree that there is a superiority complex present on reddit when someone asks for clarification on an acronym.

    Without fail, if someone used acronyms that might be considered by some to be “common knowledge”, and another user asks what that means, they’ll get down votes and sometimes even a “are you joking? Everyone knows it means blah blah blah” or similar comment.

    I once saw a person get over 50 down votes for asking “what does ETA mean?” when the OP meant “edited to add”. I had never seen anyone use it to mean something other than “estimated time of arrival” and was mildly confused by the “ETA” at the top of the comment. Not one single person explained what it meant. Just down votes. I had no idea either at the time, and didn’t care enough to do some light searching.

    I’d say the business ones are dependent on where you work. I’ve never worked in a corporate setting where I’d imagine they’re more common, so I can’t really comment on that part.







  • Having ridden in Ye Olde Wagons before, this is actually what you should do.

    Get out, unload whatever weight you can, and make the wagon as light as possible, then you try to get it out by unburying the wheels and putting something hard for them to roll on.

    we had 2x10 boards (and a few small 2x4 chunks) in the wagon and shovels, as the route we were using was through cow pastures and corn fields.
