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.
I imagined it more like “the show is now your real life” but definitely didn’t specify “not becoming an actor to play a part” but yeah.
Iwas envisioning something like Firefly, the Expanse (but less dangerous) or literally any game where the plot involves you being on a small cargo-capable ship with light guns and tons of questionable illegal mods.
Let’s be honest, I was picturing the Millennium Falcon…
He should have wished to be the protagonist in his very own sci-fi space show set on a “light freighter” style of ship.
Then you’re guaranteed at least two romance options (four, if you swing more than one way), your own ship, and plot armor.
Take it from me, you don’t want to go down the “eugenics” road…
I really don’t like ice. It’s cold, slippery and wet.
And it gets everywhere.
Just like the shitty US fascist police…
Nothing I’ve fried has been made worse by the deep fryer
Well, other than your health.
Although you aren’t really deep frying it directly. Just by proxy.
Source: own one and do not regret
Must’ve been the wind.
Even if I did, too late you greedy bigots.
This is the shit you would read on /b/ at 2am on a Thursday in 2007 while two users have what they think is a “deep” conversation in the middle of one-handed browsing.
🤮 What a fucking terrible day for eyes.
Still every day I hear “it’s not all black and white we can’t act rashly” shut the fuck up cletus you’re just a brain-dead tongue happily licking the shit off MAGAs boot.
It doesn’t, any more than “from the river to the sea”.
The only way you can think “river to sea” slogan implies genociding the Israeli occupiers is if you can’t possibly imagine any other way to transfer ownership than brutal imperialistic colonizer-like expansion. You know, like what Israelis are currently doing to Palestinians.
Framing it as “you’re calling for genocide” is just another way zionists try to conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism.
It seems to me like people like this are telling on themselves that they’re stuck in Colonial/imperial mindsets and lack imagination.
the Slate truck
one quick search and an hour of customizing later
I need one.
It took a little skimming around the FAQ for price expectations, and “The Blank Slate is expected to be priced in the mid-twenties.” which I assume will be the base “barebones no customization” version, so I’m guessing my version will probably be a solid 35k.
About 1/3 the price of the ICE truck my brother in law bought a few years ago.
Honestly if I could rig up some kind of packable solar charging setup to take on extended off-grid trips…
Give me a small form pickup with at least 2ft of ground clearance and physical buttons, and absolutely no connectivity to anything outside of the cab and I’m sold.
I need a 4x6 bed and the ability to load things from above and enough clearance for rough terrain, so sadly a minivan without back seats won’t work.
Almost everyone I know could absolutely use a small electric vehicle with under 100mi range, since almost nobody I know travels more than 100mi/dayor needs anything other than personal, usually individual transport. The obvious solution is public transit, but we all know how much the US likes to invest in infrastructure…
Because FUCK HALF THE POPULATION FOR BEING WOMEN
But it also does the dishes without using as much water as you do.
I once ran a torrent for 3 years before a new version of the program came out, and I hadn’t even hit 0.2 yet.
As everyone should.
Nobody should ever be looking at the 2nd Ammendment and think to themselves “oh god I just can’t wait, please lemme do it now”
It should always be “please don’t make me do this”, while preparing to do this.
The obvious republican mindset of “I can’t wait to be allowed to legally murder people” has always been crazy to me. As a kid I heard adults round me talking about how they’re “just looking for an excuse” and it very much seemed like someone who simply wanted to kill people.
That said, I have always accepted the possibility that one day I might be forced to kill in self defense or defense of others if I plan to exercise my 2nd Ammendment right. The last 15 years have been a truly eye-opening experience since I left the sheltered religious life I was raised in.
To anyone reading who is in the US, start with organizing with friends and neighbors who are like-minded and believe nobody should be kidnapped and sent to a concentration camp. I have a decent number of LGBT+ and immigrant friends , and have begun instructing some on the use of firearms. They have always been very anti-gun and for good reason, (I will not pretend the US doesn’t have major issues with firearms) but now have decided since their lives very well might be on the line tomorrow they need some way of protecting themselves.
I am doing what I can in that regard, but the most effective thing is the act of organizing itself. Many of them didn’t know each other. Now there’s a network of people who can assist each other when something happens.
Just this week a few of us had to venture out to un-bury the front door of one of the group that is disabled and got snowed in. They lost power and only had their battery pack and a phone on low battery to call for help, and had we not been organized the way we are they very well could have been frozen by the time emergency services got around to their call. We set them up with a kerosene heater, a CO detector, and extra battery packs to keep the phone charged until power was restored.
The sad truth is a lot of religious people believe that the end times won’t come unless the earth isn’t livable anymore.
A even LARGER group of religious simply think their sky person will give them a new earth that’s perfect so why bother protecting this one.
They and their supporters are complicit in the murder of the planet at best, and are trashing everything on purpose, trying to claw back any and every support of things that can make it a better place.
Regular Transporters don’t work like that. The flux matrix compensates for any discrepancies in the patterns pre- vs post-buffer.
I suppose if you built a new transporter type from the ground up instead of using these old starfleet or klingon modules, you could bypass the Bopple Corbulator entirely and the pattern buffer would accept the new parameters.
But who has time for that…
I read this as “maximum breast gains” and while I can sympathize with wanting more in the breast department, it seems like a long way to go to gain a few cup sizes.
Always a good idea. You never know when surprise wish twists will show up.
