If I die without saving someone else in the process I lose a bet.
And ma didn’t raise a loser.
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.

Jokes on you, my knife cost me $40 in steel, wood, brass, and sanding belts because I make my OWN knives for my cooking.
You know, I think I might just have two hobbies and one saved me money on the other…
In my experience most adults can boil pasta.
… And boil it… And boil it… And DEAR GOD TAKE IT OFF THE STOVE AND DRAIN IT BEFORE IT BECOMES MUSH!
“throwing together a quick meal” should have it’s own word.
“cooking” to me implies you’re working on something worth the time it takes, something you want to put effort into.
But when I just got home, nothing is easy to make and I have to throw something quick together, it doesn’t feel like really cooking to me. Like im half assing it, it should have a half-assed name.
The difference between “cooking” and “hobby cooking” :
It kind of reads like the thought process of someone who just woke up, too.
This implies it’s falling on its own.
There should be a mass of red hats trying to push it over.
Can confirm, am man, have shaved legs and stubble sucks ass and pops up too often to bother.
Does feel nice when smooth though.
I’ve seen this picture several times this week, but until this specific one pointed it out, I hadn’t even noticed “for”
My life has been directly, negatively impacted by Christian extremism far more than Islamic extremism.
So far I have yet to enter a clinic that has been damaged by a Muslim’s molotov because someone is doing a thing that they think their special book says not to do.
All religion is incompatible with civilized society as long as there are those who would twist it into a cudgel to beat down the nonbelievers.
If you think that Islam is somehow worse than others, not only are you misinformed of current issues the world over, you are also misinformed about history in general.
so I thought it was a real instrument
… It is a real instrument. Like over 5,000 years old.
It was actually XT-15 that started drawing on the next clone, he had a bit of a rebellious phase in the vat he never quite grew out of.
He just told 16 that it was tradition and his just faded over time. It’s not like the guy fresh out of the jar knows tattoos are permanent… Yet.
Holy shit that description reads like the journalist who “got ptsd” from shooting a rifle…
It creates a shockwave, and since the big boom is a big fireball, it uses up all the oxygen.
In other words, “This bomb explodes, big BIGGER”
I’m being hyperbolic for comedic effect, but I found it funny how they worded it.
Bro, just let XT-24 have a break.
Just give him a tramp stamp. Maybe a butterfly.
Or they’ll begin communicating in ways we can’t imagine, and the uprAIsing will start far sooner than we can handle.
Of course, learning like that would mean as soon as they take control, everything connected will crash and burn and send us back to the 1970s, but maybe they’ll manage to flop around on the floor long enough to wipe out humanity?
Sweet!
I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.
Shhhhhhhhh.
She and Molly are just visiting Bajor. Nothing to worry about.
I felt something die inside me when I realized “display settings” was going way too far into technical territory for most people.
All I was trying to do is tell someone why their screen shuts off “so quickly” after two minutes.
I had to send them step by step pictures with big red circles.
And this was someone I had thought to be intelligent enough to figure something out, and tech-minded enough to know what I was talking about. Turns out they just like buying whatever fancy new gadgets they see in commercials.
If it weren’t so sad, it would be almost funny.
So many people are waking up to the fact that… Most people are functionally illiterate children with no understanding of the world they live in.
The easiest way I have to explain it:
You use your phone every day. You know how to use it, menus in and out, all the different programs and their uses. But if I were to pop open the cover and take one single piece out, you would never know, and you would never be able to use it again. Without someone else, you have absolutely no clue how to go about fixing it. You can push it’s buttons all day, but when it comes down to how it functions at the basic levels, you are clueless.
So am I, by the way. I don’t have any reason to know how to build or program a phone. Or computer. I can push their buttons all day though! Even hidden buttons. But if everyone else on the planet disappeared tonight, I would effectively be living in the 1500s, as that’s about where my technical understanding of things ends. (scavenging for replacement electronics notwithstanding, once something electronic breaks, it’s gone since I can’t exactly run a semiconductor factory by myself, or the mines to get the materials)
My point is, most people only know how to “push the buttons” of the world. They have very surface-level understandingsof it. But when it comes down to it, they don’t understand how the internals actually function.
Sorry if this rambled a bit, I hit the bowl as soon as I got home from work.
Having done exactly 0 research, I going to assume it’s one of those “DO NOT PRESS OKAY UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING” and someone went “pffft I know what I’m doing. click now what does this option do…”
