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.
"What were your expectations? "
That the world I was raised to live in still existed?
That the laws I’ve been told my whole life I HAVE to follow or I will be jailed actually mean something?
That literally any of the lies I was fed about alternative economic systems, religions/nonreligion, or stereotypes were true?
Unfortunately all we have is this shit.
gestures wildly at humanity and what we have done to everyone and everything in our reach
I might need a therapy or two…
I recently watched a 3d video in a small theater about dinosaurs, and in the video we follow a T-Rex mother from her first eggs to death, including a fight with another dinosaur that ends up crippling a leg, and then the last few shots of her are limping toward carrion to survive a little longer, and then dead in a creek bed and I legitimately almost walked out of the little theater we were in.
I may have smoked a little before going in, so I may have been a little more emotional than usual. But still.
It was.
In Ohio? I’m almost positive it isn’t legal. It’s definitely illegal in states like California. But they’re banking on nobody recording their interview audio (which I will now be doing as Ohio is single-party state) and nobody complaining if asked.
I doubt it’s a company policy, but I did send an email to their company offices to complain about it, for all the good it will do.
Look, if you want to wrangle with a bear to try and get that pelt, you go right ahead.
I’ve had enough suffering in my lifetimes, I’m hunkering down and waiting for the department of temporal investigations to show up and take me home.
Besides, you need at least 3μg of pergium, which I’m sure I don’t have to remind anyone is not native to the solar system.
Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.
Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.
I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.
Oddly, I did not get the job
Unfortunately due to some temporal shenanigans, I’m stuck here without so much as a self-sealing stem bolt.
No transporter system.
Besides, why would I want to wipe my pattern buffer prisoners guests experiments?
There’s 1,000 jokes that can be made in sure, but in the US I once found a grenade while magnet fishing and called a guy my parents know who is a cop. The moment I realized what it was, I told my friend to run to the end of the bridge, and I gently laid it on the pile of rope I was using.
They have a whole bomb squad that’s about 30 minutes away at full speed, and they rolled up with their trailer, a guy in a suit came over to the bridge and placed it in a box, put the box in the trailer, and one dull THUNK later all I had to do was sign a paper saying this is where I found it.
I specifically called my parents friend rather than 911 because I had read too many accounts of cops showing up and attempting to arrest the magnet fisher for any number of reasons.
UXO is no fucking joke, don’t for a second think you can handle it without training. You really have no idea what explosive compound they used or what it’s stability level is after being exposed to the elements.
I’ve legitimately tried that, even tried no alarm at all.
The no alarm is a bad idea just because every so often I just sleep right on through, if I’ve had a particularly harsh day.
I think my brain just goes “you sneaky fuck, I know you REALLY want to get up at 7 so we are getting up at 630ishjust to be sure.”
Any questionable software I have is coming up on 4 years old now, most of it is older than that. I move them to a new machine every time I upgrade, simply because I don’t trust torrents anymore.
Honestly, I don’t trust PDFs anymore unless they’re from places I know are “safe” which kind of sucks because I’ve been getting back into RC as a hobby and it’s hard to find non-pdf plans. I prefer vector files, but I’m having to try my luck with jpg and png files.
A lot of the programs I used to use have been surpassed by current FOSS projects, and I’ve been replacing them as I can. Finding an open source laser engraver program that isn’t shit is proving difficult.
I don’t need an alarm.
I wake up every few hours regardless.
And I’m always awake about 20 minutes before my alarm, no matter that time I set it to.
Existence is pain
Nah, I know for a fact 2/3 of my kills were luck, and the other 1/3 is new players.
I know for a fact I’m opinionated, and don’t have problems sharing them.
Please, by all means, block me if you think seeing my comments is adversely affecting you. I’d rather be ignored by someone than make their day worse (unless they’re actively trying to make others miserable, but that’s a separate discussion)
The fediverse has definitely gotten a little less hostile after blocking a few things.
And remember you can jump ship to another instance at any time! I’ve hopped a few times but for now my instance is filling my needs without much drama that I am aware of.
“Mmm yes. Shallow, and pedantic.”
It definitely made me double-take at first because my brain tried to read “burners” at first until I realized that isn’t what it said…
And I thought the torches were flags for a second, too.
Banners of books
People who exist to ban books from being read
That or there’s a giant banner stretched out and made entirely of books just to the left.

HOW
Why is one okay and the other isn’t?
As usual, the only real answer is either an appeal to tradition or an appeal to authority
Let’s burn this bitch down and start over with the common man in mind, and the needs of everyone met.
Or let’s go find a new planet. With blackjack, and hookers.
I’ve been noticing a lot of trump flags going above the American flag around Ohio.
It’s not surprising, but it is very telling.
This is such a weird comment, full of “NiCd batteries aren’t good enough so solar/wind are useless because we can’t store the power” energy.
It’s a test reactor, it’s meant to be smaller than the “big boys”, and in a few years it’ll be smaller and more efficient.
Sure, it’s not going to singlehandedly power an entire country, but distributed power is better than localized. 1000 small reactors placed all over means less likelihood of system wide failure than a handful of large ones.
