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.

  • How falling battery costs are igniting race for round-the-clock solar power

    Jump

  • As someone who has access to about 3kw of solar panels, and wants to cut down on my electricity bill, where did you manage to get batteries so cheap? I've been burned on 18650s from supposedly reliable retailers before...

  • Tennessee grandmother jailed after AI facial recognition error links her to fraud

    Jump

  • While jailed and unable to pay bills, Lipps lost her home, her car and her dog, she said

    Fuck suing, I'm going to prison for murder. I can live without the stuff, but if someone touches my dog they must not like living.

  • We attacked Iran with no clear plan for regime change, Israeli security sources say

    Jump

  • I've been managing to drag some of them further left, I think, through conversation about things.

    A few are 100% on board with a union as long as I keep calling it "collective bargaining" and don't use the scary U word.

    A few are on board with most social safety nets, especially when they find out Healthcare would cost less than it currently costs them in taxes alone, let alone not having to pay for insurance anymore, but the second you call it socialism or use any sort of word like "welfare" then they panic.

    Individually I think I'm breaking some of them, but collectively they're fucking idiots.

  • 'Catastrophic,' Says UNICEF: 1,100+ Children Killed or Wounded in Mideast Since US-Israel Launched Iran War

    Jump

  • There's a pretty simple test, IMO

    Ask a person "is bombing a school filled with children okay as long as the end goal brings about the end of the world?"

    If they answer "yes" then just immediately drop them into a meat grinder and use the remains for fertilizer.

    Maybe it's my cynical side, but I genuinely don't think people like that can be fixed, so while it might be considered "cruel" it's better to just put them out of everyone's (including their own) misery, a "nuthouse" just gives them a place to congregate and keep trying to spread their hate.

  • EXCLUSIVE Lizzie Cundy: ‘My new vagina’s so tight it squeaks when I walk’

    Jump

  • Useless knowledge: a black hole can technically exist inside a super-massive star.

    The gravity of the black hole pulls in hydrogen, the force of the hydrogen fusion and Hawking radiation pressure from the black hole try to push the hydrogen/star stuff out.

    For awhile at least, with enough supply of hydrogen (that likely doesn't exist in a large concentrated enough supply), it can hold itself in balance as the biggest star you've never seen.

    Note: take this with a grain of salt, this is my understanding of a kurzgesagt video I watched while high.

  • Wow babe, check this out!

    Jump

  • I don't like all the videos of "red flag vs green flag" and "AITA" posts my wife shows me.

    She doesn't like the piano-comedy skits and blacksmithing videos I show her.

    We both watch the videos, and discuss them after watching.

    Crazy how couples work out like that!

  • Officer having anxiety attack took ambulance sent for man dying from police shooting, report says

    Jump

  • Dyshan Best, 39, was shot in the back last year as he fled from officers in Bridgeport, Connecticut. A report released Tuesday by the state’s inspector general found that the shooting was justified because Best had a gun in his hand and the officer pursuing him had reasons to fear for his own safety.

    If I shoot a rich white man in the back who is running away from me and claim I "feared for my life" I'd probably get the death penalty.

  • We attacked Iran with no clear plan for regime change, Israeli security sources say

    Jump

  • My coworkers have already managed to blame Obama for making a "shitty deal" with Iran, and Biden for not "dealing with Iran sooner"

  • But... but my egg prices!

    Jump

  • As usual, I'm left wishing I had the money for an EV.

    Yes, ideally I'd rather be able to use my bicycle and cargo trailer for shopping and public transit for work, but thats literally nonexistent.

  • I'd like to ask everyone, which movie have you rewatched more than three times?

    Jump

  • Too many to count, and more than I even remember.

    I went without internet in an area not friendly to children being outside, so I watched movies in no particular order over and over. Just "yeah I haven't watched this in a few weeks" and re-watch.

    Lord of The Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, Monty Python (all), Princess Bride, MIB, Evolution, Terminator 1&2, Starship Trooper... Honestly most popular Sci fi movies from the 90s... The sound of music, fiddler on the roof, a bunch of musicals..

    I'm sure I watched the classic disney movies many times.

    I know people who buy watch a movie and then don't feel like watching any of them ever again.

  • Its Over 😔

    Jump

  • Yes, it does.

    So why doesn't the other person ever bother picking theirs up first for a change?

  • dumb dumb fart hammers

    Jump

  • Every public figure who uses the term “Gulf of America” should be taken out to the exact center of it and left there in a life boat.

    No need to waste the life boat...

  • A Coalition of 30 Major Publishers (including Penguin Random House, Elsevier, and HarperCollins) Sue Anna's Archive Over 'Staggering' Copyright Infringement, Seek Injunction

    Jump

  • Why do that and risk actually losing, when you can go after the small guy and send a message to the plebs?

  • Queens Boulevard, New York City. It’s insane that we allow car dealerships to take over as much land as they want to store cars

    Jump

  • My hometown has a kenworth plant

    Kenworth has a bad habit of putting huge parking lots for their truck everywhere they can, and then leaving them unattended for months on end.

    Kenworth learned the hard way that they need to keep better control over where they leave their shit, otherwise people who have a reason to hate them (which is a lot of people around there) might fuck with their trucks and cause millions in damages.

  • The real threat from a Hormuz closure isn’t an oil shortage but a global food crisis

    Jump

  • The rich Douchebags that control every country don't give a shit if the plebs starve. They'll never know hunger.

    "Eat the rich", as always.

  • God lays out the rules for bad drivers and eternal hell

    Jump

  • I don't do it on purpose, but sometimes the speed limit changes and I don't notice until someone passes me and I look at the GPS and see I'm going too slow.

    I wait for the passing cars to get ahead of me before speeding up though.

  • 'So Be It,' Says Schumer After Trump Issues Unhinged Threat Against 2026 Voting Rights

    Jump

  • You don't even need the civics class, just watch that one schoolhouse rock video.

  • Trump says he won’t sign any bills into law until SAVE America Act passes

    Jump

  • If I had the means, I'd have left years ago.

  • Trump says he won’t sign any bills into law until SAVE America Act passes

    Jump

  • Having already brought this point up with a MAGAt at work, she honestly thinks they will make exceptions for all married women.

    The mental gymnastics and denial of reality is exhausting.
