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.
I got a new laptop last year, and now the old one is sitting next to my laser engraver, probably hoping I will never open it again but it’s going to be my dedicated laser laptop now.
At least the programs I’m using on it are all 5ish years old, so it’s not straining to keep up with new software.
I can still feel it heat up a lot just being idle, and I’d like to clean it up to improve it’s response time.
This comic has made me feel bad for my old laptop…
The only celebrating I do is eating slightly more unhealthy, take the day off work unless it’s going to be a short day, and maybe look to see if any games in my “maybe if it’s on steep sale” list are on sale.
That’s it.
I don’t remind people, I dont expect anyone to remember, but it’s nice when they do.
My excuse for missing people’s birthdays is I DO know the date… I just don’t know what the date today is. Sure I know my sister was born on the 12th, but that doesn’t matter if I think today is the 10th and it’s actually the 15th…
So if I have that much problem, it wouldn’t be very chill to be upset with others for missing mine.
Attorneys don’t just file a suit because their client said so: they generally need to be shown there’s an actionable case with a chance if winning
Man, I used to believe that.
The last 8 years have shown me otherwise.
I used to work at a sporting goods store, primarily bicycles but I occasionally ran the gun counter.
It was interesting over the last decade I worked, to see how the paperwork wording changed.
The only ones that stand out in memory was asking about “illegal substance use”
First it was “are you addicted to any illegal drugs” and if you checked “yes” then you got denied the sale.
Then it changed to “addicted or USER OF any illegal drugs”
Then “user of any federally illegal substances” or something like that. I’m not sure what it is now since I haven’t run a counter in years and haven’t bought a gun in almost as long.
They clearly were trying to keep the wording so it didn’t matter what the legal status was in your area, or whether the substance you use is addictive or not.
As far as I’m concerned, Marijuana use is just as valid around firearms as alcohol use. It’s fine if you drink and it’s fine if you shoot, just don’t ever do them together.
There are a lot of people who are extremely insistent that Marijuana stays as illegal as possible, and that nobody who smokes is allowed to own a gun.
And a surprising few of them can actually articulate why for either of those.
I’m not looking forward to the inevitable board-flipping, but who knows, maybe the rest of the players will tell Kevin to sit down and shut up because even regular monopoly sucks ass.
Must… Resist… Urge… To pre-order…
Any time my father brings up stuff like this, I remind him that he and his brothers drove their car onto a frozen lake and almost broke through the ice, and more than once they bought tennis balls, soaked them in gasoline, and threw them at each other with welding gloves.
I know for a fact that he and his brothers did tons of dumb shit, and I won’t let him forget it even if he finds it convenient when comparing generations.
Currently stuck in Ohio
Wife and I would love to leave just to get away from family, the last year has only solidified our desire even more.
From ohio
Agreed, fuck Ohio
Then the mod should have posted the comment as it’s own comment and pinned it to the top.
In fairness, my dogs are considered “property” and I value both of them far more than the human who put this on their vehicle.
I once got yelled at by a cop for walking across a nearly empty road in columbus Ohio.
The closest crosswalk was basically 1/4mile in either direction, because the building I was trying to enter is so large.
I was walking with a cane at the time. And no cars were anywhere close so a snail could have made it across with time to spare. It took some people close by stepping in and arguing for me before the Douchebag dropped it.
Im sure if I had looked my usual level of disheveled or had any other shade of skin I wouldn’t be so “lucky”
I didn’t know shit could clump that high without supports…

I say this in nearly complete seriousness:
Always has been

Always assume that at least 10% of polls are bullshit, from people not understanding the question, the poll, the answers, or people just screwing around, or intentionally choosing funny/ridiculous answers.
Poll question: do you believe in a deity
Poll answers: 1 yes there is a god 2 there are many gods 3 I believe in zorg the destroyer who will bring about universal chaos 4 no
Some people who would answer literally anything else are going to choose 3 simply for the lulz.
Literally doing so right now.
Sorry I failed my solidarity test, Luigi.
“The squeaky hinge gets the grease”
“The nail that sticks out farthest vets the hammer first”
These are metaphors to say “since Waymo is the one doing things like driverless taxis all over a city, they’re getting news stories and social media posts”
Yes, things like Tesla suck too. But tesla isn’t operating a “driverless taxi” service. Yet.
I’m sure that as something advertised as “driverless” that tesla’s owner gets pissy about it and probably feeds into negative press against them, but that doesn’t excuse what they do.
Should hold the same penalties as a poor person’s fraud.
Every single part of this comment just screams “It just wouldn’t be proper!”
And I’m sorry, but I can’t seem to care about what’s “proper” when half my friends now have reasonable fear for their lives, not just “comfort of living” just because they are lgbtq+ living in deep red country.
