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.

  • Hey now, that's a misrepresentation of both the US and China.

    China had way nicer locomotives in 96. It wasn't 1896.

    And in the US, that guy would have either been replaced by a machine, or replaced by someone younger who won't be expecting the seniority and pay raises that being there for over 20 years usually gets you.

  • Why the fuck is it so hard for them to part with what they would consider pocket change?

    It's not about the money

    It's about "fuck you, I do what I want now do what I tell you or I will throw more money than most cities get in their yearly budget in order to ruin everything for everyone"

  • Furries are cool

    Jump

  • I am sorry if this comes off as offensive to anyone, I'm not trying to be.

    I don't get furries.

    I also don't have to completely understand their ins and outs and complexities to know they're people who are worthy of respect for being other living people. (or non-people if they identify as non-people? Again I don't understand them as much as I probably should).

    Regardless, shout out to all the furries out there who struggle with things I can't even imagine.

  • New York City has sent over 6000 cyclists to criminal court. Some say they are being treated unfairly.

  • They're saying it's on the SUV driver to prove they didn't do illegal things that resulted in the accident, assuming normal police requests don't do it first (security camera footage of the intersection) because nobody knows for sure who ran a red light except the people involved, unless there's proof.

    Not "someone said the SUV ran a red light and everyone believed them instantly without proof and the SUV was found at fault"

  • Evolution.

    It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they're making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they're working on. I mean, who doesn't love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.

    It's fun, it's ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.

    Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans. ::: spoiler spoiler (it's the butthole, they attacked a giant alien anus with soap to save the day) :::

  • I had recently read a book that had

    Shit, imma need that title....

    I can’t for the life of me remember which book that was…

    Well, shit.

    If you remember, let us know! I'm a huge book nerd that (clearly) loves sci-fi, and that sounds pretty neat.

  • Matter=energy=matter.

    If you can replicate matter with energy, you can turn matter into energy.

    First you use a little wall power or even solar power, replicate some chargeable power cells, and then hey look you've got some portable replicating that will work without an obvious power source.

    And as long as you have enough matter on hand to convert to energy, you have enough power to replicate things until we replicate space tech like deflector dishes and bussard collectors to soak in all that tasty hydrogen that's just laying around all over the universe.

    Jaysus, Keiko, it's like you don't even listen to me when we're having dinner...

    back to the pattern buffer for you I guess...

  • First thing anyone with matter replicators needs to do is IMMEDIATELY replicate 100 replicators and send them to enough countries that there's no WAY for any corporation or rich fuck to quash it and maintain dominance.

    Replicators would immediately destroy any economic system because no economic system would be needed when everything you can think of is a button press away.

    Honestly any version of replicators....

  • Lol nvidia CEO couldn't do my job for an hour.

    I am absolutely confident that I could do his job for an hour.

    The empty chair in his office does his job just as easily, too.

    You can tell me all about the meetings and deals they have to worry about but ultimately, by the time a company gets that large, it could run itself without a c-suite for quite some time.

  • No worries, tone isn't easily conveyed in text and with everything else it's totally understandable.

    And if I'm being completely honest, it may have a slight bias toward that way just from me being from the US. I just didn't consciously/purposely do so.

    I did mean to simply say that I wish we could achieve such things here without resorting to what arguably most modern governments have done, if not recently then in the past.

    It's doable, we just need the people in charge to have the best intentions for all people.

    Fat fucking chance of that in the US these days (or for the last 40 years)

  • man it must’ve sucked so much ass being a nurse during COVID

    Hands down, no question. It was still the early days, april 2020, so I am a bit less forgiving than later in 2020. Nurses already got the short end of the medical stick even before covid

    this instance was just particularly memorable.
