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.

  • Every time I see a post like this I go pat my Ruger MPR and tell it it’s just as good.

    I’m not complaining I love seeing other setups because it gives me ideas. 10/10, love the setup.

    How do you like shorter foregrips vs longer? I tend to go with longer just for the extra grip I get, is there any particular reason behind a shorty?

    I’ve been wanting to get a decent holo/magnifier combo, maybe as a canted sight on my AR or a main sight for my PCC, but they all seem to be so expensive. You have to pay for quality though, I’ve seen cheap holos shatter on people at the range.







  • The big one of endgame is Tony Stark commits the single worst crime in the history of the universe by “un-snapping” the half of the universe that was snapped by Thanos 5 years after they disappeared. No accounting for all the people who are dead in the meantime, no accounting for all the awkward conversations of “oh for me I just blinked and now you have two kids and a new wife” or “who are you people and why are you in my house where am I supposed to live now” all because he lacks the imagination to make the universe go back 5 years while keeping Pepper and his daughter the same.

    Oh and

    spoiler

    he dies in the process too

    . That’s probably more important to most people.


  • That’s how I felt about infinity war and endgame.

    I decided not to watch after finding out it was a 2 parter, then after endgame came out I still hadn’t watched it after a good year and a half.

    Then someone spoiled the ending out of nowhere in a post and I decided I’d finally watch it.

    I’m impressed you’ve gone this long.








  • Honestly that just sounds like someone who just forgot to keep drinking while experiencing couch lock… When I’m smoking sativa strains like last night, I am perfectly okay the next day since I’m much more active, and therefore drink more liquids, than when smoking indica strains.

    While I’m sure it happens, it’s just not a thing for me or my wife and her friends I guess.

    I know someone who loves to smoke, but every time she does, her hands start shaking noticeably, but not enough to need help with things. Except maybe pouring a drink.

    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


  • Human: “We took the second warp core you helped us build and plugged it into the first one, just to see what would happen… It blew up. But we got to do some pretty cool science in the process!”

    Vulcan looking on in pure astonishment

    Vulcan: “Fascinating. You were meant to place that in another ship, or study it for improving your own designs.”

    Human: “yeah, crazy huh… Can we have another?”

    Vulcan: arches eyebrow “Very well.”


  • 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.
