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.
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.
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
Kim and Torres were guests of the Ocampa, and Kess knew how to get in and out of the shielded area. The Kazon were in the area but not directly involved yet.
So by beaming her up immediately, they would have had far more time available to do thing.
Now, whether they ask the right questions quickly enough to get in and out of the caves/cracks Kess got out through, who’s to say.
Either way, if I recall correctly, the kazon knew not to fuck with the Caretakers station, so while I’m sure they would eventually have tested it to see if anyone was still home, it wouldn’t have been as quick.
Ultimately I believe if Neelix had been truthful, the crew would have had enough time to figure out how to send themselves back to the alpha quadrant, and possibly been smart enough to set spatial charges to blow it up soon after they left to make sure the kazon don’t get their hands on it.

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.
Don’t judge until you try some ghost dick for yourself.
It’s still weak, just like humans are still slow.
At least compared to other animals.
But like gravity, we just keep going. And going. And going.
And when the animals we hunted collapsed from exhaustion, we just kept coming. And then took it all the way back we came.
Just like gravity.
We can try to keep going until we just can’t anymore, but gravity will just grab us and haul us back.
Compared to the other forces, gravity is a weak ass bitch.
I got it on one of those giveaways that steam/epic/gog sometimes do, so I never even gave them money over it and I still want my money back.
$5 delivery
Ugh. They always try to get you with the shipping… Pass.
I absolutely like pests!
I like them to stay out of my house, mostly.
But you know, all the other stuff that helps keep us alive is a big bonus, too.
I need a cut of the movie that inserts a saber activation sound and flash, followed by the credits rolling.
Well, I know what other video I’m never watching.
And people wonder why I don’t like being around any vehicle that carries things…
If it’s what I’m thinking of, camera footage of a vehicle interior.
Driving down the highway, going under an overpass when a brick gets tossed by some kids and goes through the window.
Passenger hit, husband is driving and screams.
You know that scream they mention in The Princess Bride? That “only someone experiencing ultimate suffering” can make?
If you know, you know.
In fact, I’d wager that they accomplish the opposite of what they claim. How many people see their reaction to mods, and decide “nah I’m not buying anything from them”
I know I do that. I’m sure others do too. So now rather than buying the game to mod, I’m avoiding anything from the company for quite some time.
My favorite group I have ever DMd for was at a convention, it was 2am, and nobody had ever met before except the two couples in the mix of 9. I just ran part of a campaign I was working on for a different group.
I barely had to interact with them for RP stuff unless it was to drive the plot, or play a character they convinced to join them.
It was great seeing a large muscular guy dressed like a Dwarven blacksmith role play a halfling, and the smallest person there was playing as a half-orc barbarian from the plains of icewind dale.
And of course since it was a convention, and some of them had LARP gear with them, a friendly competitive sword fight broke out during a rest and instead of rolling, they just went ahead and used foam swords and stepped away from the tables. And borrowed dialogue from the princess bride.
Most groups definitely prefer combat, and to be honest so do I unless I’m running the game. Maybe I just haven’t played with the right group or character, or more likely I just suck at it. Either way…
I think everyone has “that one group” they wish they could play with forever and never have scheduling conflicts…
I tried being a moderator on a forum once, and after alerting admins and the FBI about csam less than a week in, I decided I was done being a moderator.
It was a forum for RC stuff, mostly diy rc planes.
Unfortunately, therapy only helps you cope, it doesn’t let you forget.
Armada and Armada 2.
I really like RTS games.
African, or European?
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.
