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.

  • Literally, yes.

    My supervisor at work has 2 broken teeth and one is cracking, he can’t have food on his right side of his mouth and about once a month has go eat soft foods because the cracked tooth on his left side hurts again.

    Another coworker has a knife wound because he managed to slice his arm open with his own folding knife (not suicidal just stupid), and he’s just self-treating even though it looks infected.

    I have had bronchitis multiple times in my life when I didn’t have any insurance and even when I was so weak it took all my strength to crawl to the bathroom, going without eating for several days because I can’t make it downstairs to the kitchen, because just the urgent care visit would have sent me into years of debt.

    My sister ignored signs of cancer until her daughter asked her to go to the doctor. It could have been operated on if she had gone earlier. Now it’s chemo and fingers crossed.

    This shithole country kicks people when they’re down andat least 1/3 of the population is polishing the boot as the rich are kicking us.





  • When my wife and I were living in a basement, I made a fake window out of an old TV I had. High CRI led strips, a lace curtain, and some leveling later and we had a nice light source that made it feel less depressing in our room.

    We aren’t in a basement anymore, but in winter I put the fake window in the real window around 430ish. It helps with seasonal depression a bit, but I miss actual sunlight every year. Especially now that I have a job that has me inside, away from windows, from before sunrise to after sunset.









  • Han solo didn’t “shoot first”, he was the only one who shot, period.

    Greedo didn’t shoot the wall (and miss a 6ft target sitting 2ft away), that was added (poorly) many years later for a special edition.

    They changed the movie because in the interim years, George Lucas was feeling like it made Han Solo look less “noble” and more scoundrel-like.
