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.

  • Personal anecdote from cooking for years for a variety of people of varying intelligence, background, and countries:

    Most people claim it gives them headaches and nausea.

    They "know" this because they feel it every time they eat (american) "Chinese food"

    Not a single one has ever had either symptom after eating my cooking that has a little sprinkled in.

    Now, I have tried to prove a point to some by informing them (many hours after the food, and asking about how they feel) that they in fact ingested MSG without issue and had no symptoms, usually to rounds of spontaneous nausea and headaches that had apparently gone unnoticed for hours until just then.

    It could be that ingesting a shit-load of greasy, oily, carbs and over-eating that caused their nausea and headaches when they gorged themselves on "Chinese" food, but no, they know it's the MSG.

  • "Herr Colonel and dozens of other commanders did say ze war was to exterminate ze jews and dominate ze world, but maybe it's just zeir own personal feelings and surely not ze fuhrer's intent"

  • The man has a synthetic heart because he got into a bar fight with a naussican gang over dom-jot. He constantly throws his opponents words back in their face, even to species known for killing people over the same thing. Stood toe to toe against many klingons over the years, sometimes asking them to swing. Some of the most powerful known beings in the galaxy respect him.

    Man's a legend.

  • Because not enough people are heading out in the dead of night with dark nondescript clothing, a large mask, some small tools, and smashing the ever-loving fuck out of the very unprotected cameras.

    Someone around my area has been going out and riding a generic dark colored mountain bike and destroying some of the cameras in the area. Cops sitting to watch them kind of defeats the purpose of them and they're largely left alone, and if they have hidden cameras to watch them, they aren't capturing enough info to lead to an arrest.

    I am in no way advocating that people bring a hacksaw and/or cordless sawzall to pull the poles down, crack open the solar panel housing, and cannibalize the battery and solar panel to reuse with mesh radios to help resist illegal occupations and state-led domestic terrorism.

  • Only if you're racist, I guess.

  • Yes, I was fully mentally prepared for a work day,

    BUT...

    I got water in the hole in my shoe and now my sock is wet.

  • Well, the lightweight is gonna be a problem, but I typically take breaks of at least a month when I stock up on more stuff.

  • Not a ginger, just weirdly tolerant to thc without having built one up.

  • Oh, this is after a break, of about a month and a half.

  • Believe me, it's there.

    It's just another Ohio, though. You don't want to be stuck in Ohio.

  • was legitimately stoned for the rest of the day. Like, could barely control myself.

    Okay, seriously. Does this actually happen?

    I hit a 84% thc vape from Michigan today, and after about 5 minutes felt nothing. 3 8 second drags until the vape auto-shutoff each time, and I feel it for about 30-45 minutes.

    If I want to be stoned literally all day, I have to be hitting the vape at least every 30-90 minutes depending on how hard I hit it.

    I usually don't even feel edibles until I've had 30-50mg.

    I'm genuinely curious how much it takes for other people to get high, and how they experience it. I feel like I'm missing out.

  • Agreed. She made the right call.

    Two crew members with separate skills are better for the overall chances of the ship, and thus her crew, making it home. She did what she had to do.

  • Surely imperialist countries with interests in an area wouldn't go and lie about things???

    Next you're gonna tell me the US lied about WMDs in 2001...

  • Thanks!

  • Probably "medical examiner" or similar medical doctor that does work for the police to determine things like cause of death and other injuries possibly obtained while dying.

  • Source?

  • It's not really heartbreaking when you know the reason the worst person you know is even talking is to try and distract from their own shit.

    Doesn't make it less true, just less heartbreaking.

  • The Budapest memorandum of 1994 ensured that the US and UK would "Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used"

    That happened. It's a promise to bring the issue to the UN security council for a vote on action. Not a promise to invade any attacking country.

    What also happened is that Russia, a seat on the security council, has the power to veto, and a conflicting interest here that the UN decided couldn't possibly be a problem in the future.

    I'm not saying we have done enough.

    I am, however, saying that we have held up our end of the agreement, as written on paper.

    As far as I'm concerned, my country is 1/3 of the reason they're in this mess, so we need to step in and directly protect them at the bare minimum. Ukraine isn't safe until their borders are restored to pre-2014, their infrastructure is repaired and improved, and they have enough to defend themselves from Russia AND the US. And also the government stooges of Russia get put to death for forcing their population to fight and die against an opponent who never wanted a fight to begin with.

  • "Vladimir Putin says-"

    Lemme stop you right there, pardner.

    Don't care.

  • False start! 3rd from left is over the line, I demand a rematch!
