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.

  • Me, living next to a corn field: "ah goddamn it, not again..." reaches for mouse trap bucket

    I used to be one of those "I'll catch and release them down and across the road" but now I'm getting close to setting this place on fire.

    I've plugged every external hole and put steel mesh on the crawl space openings. The space between the walls and foundation have been re-insulated, and every time I find a mouse hole it gets filled with expanding foam. There's no food being left out, and the only internal source of water is a possible drip inside my washing machine. I throw mouse poison around the crawl space and put cedar shavings from my garage around everywhere I think a mouse might be able to squeeze in.

  • Is history about to repeat itself?

  • Not one jetbike flying around strafing people...

  • US | FAA institutes nationwide drone no-fly zones around ICE operations

    Jump

  • I'll be sure to wipe my ass with this regulation like I do all the other ones I ignore.

    Fuck ICE fuck the FAA and fuck trying to limit documentation of the descent into Fascism Deluxe

  • "Ah shit, here we go again."

    Jump

  • I've got my fingers crossed that the local constabulary declares an emergency snow situation, since my work allows me to skip those days. They always get shitty about it but those fucks don't pay me enough to risk my life on slippery-ass roads.

  • TIL “sleet” does not have the same meaning in all English speaking countries

    Jump

  • From Ohio, and to me sleet is several things

    Wet snow/rain mix

    Tiny frozen spheres that aren't big enough to be called hail

    Snow/tiny hail mix

    Any combination of the three, really.

    Mostly it boils down to "not snow or rain or hail", and "wintry mix" is something I never heard until adulthood.

  • Keegan-Michael Key Says He Would Love To Make New 'Key & Peele' Skits

    Jump

  • Yes, and?

  • Trump Building Top Secret Installation Under East Wing

    Jump

  • His handlers planned for that, the second he tries to pull the trigger, explosives detonate the whole room. Doesn't even need to take the safety off, since he'd likely fuck that up. He just has to hold it right and.... Oh... Oh no....

  • Trump Building Top Secret Installation Under East Wing

    Jump

  • Honestly given how long it's been standing (lmao thanks Canada, come over for another BBQ some time pls) and given some of the administrations, I'm certain there are secret things that nobody alive remembers.

    This will certainly be the dumbest one where the most child rapists seek shelter.

  • It's a scene from Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones.

    Here we see the characters Anakin Skywalker (left) and Padme Amidala (right) sitting in a field while on the planet of Naboo, Amidala's home planet. Anakin is poorly hitting on her like the awkward teenager he is.

    However, instead of referencing sexual fluids, he is speaking in reference to the overall system of governance that the Republic has become.

    I am not trying to be condescending so please don't take my extended explanation as such, I just assume you have no idea what any of it is since you asked a question that would be answered if you had seen and remembered the movie at some point.

  • Japan returns last two pandas to China amid strained ties

    Jump

  • No, it's literally "these are OURS and you CAN'T HAVE THEM"

  • Adoption of electric vehicles tied to real-world reductions in air pollution, study finds

    Jump

  • Never let "perfect" stand in the way of "good"

    It's a start, not a magical transporter to the finish line.

  • Shave your pants

    Jump

  • I'm guessing you don't have pets.

    They come out of the wash with dog hair on them.

  • Shave your pants

    Jump

  • Well then, thanks to my dogs, I guess most days my gender is also "hair ball"

  • I'd probably raise one eyebrow. Maybe.

    Jump

  • Pros:

    You get to see a neat dragon

    You no longer have to deal with gestures broadly at everything

    Cons:

    Uhhhhhhhh.... Ummmm.... Ohfuck...... It might hurt in the 0.281 seconds it takes your skull to melt?

  • Winter lovers

    Jump

  • When my wife and I were living in a basement, I made a fake window out of an old TV I had. High CRI led strips, a lace curtain, and some leveling later and we had a nice light source that made it feel less depressing in our room.

    We aren't in a basement anymore, but in winter I put the fake window in the real window around 430ish. It helps with seasonal depression a bit, but I miss actual sunlight every year. Especially now that I have a job that has me inside, away from windows, from before sunrise to after sunset.

  • As I like to say, "you can always put more clothes on. You can only take so much off before the cops show up."

  • kick off a civil war

    looks around at "detention" camps

    looks around at military being moved around in preparation for things

    looks around at states invading other states with their own guard members

    looks around at civilians being executed on camera in the streets by government-backed SS-style secret police

    My brother/sister/non-binary in the flying spaghetti monster, we are there. Whether it's one-sided or not is going to be the real question.

  • Who doesn’t want to dress up their cowboy before going bang bang?

    I somehow read this as "who doesn't want to dress up their cowboy before a gang bang" and honestly.... It only slightly sounded odd.
