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 respect drag.

    I cannot respect showering corporations with money to buy lights to cover your already unnecessarily large mcmansion in gaudy baubles, and waste enormous amounts of electricity for over a month just so everyone can see how much more “festive” you are than your neighbor.

    The money wasted on the setup in just one of these pictures alone could feed dozens of homeless for a month. And I think feeding the hungry fits in way better with the supposed theme of Christmas.







  • (not disagreeing with anyone, simply making observations from experience)

    A German zweihander sword weighs around 8lbs, a gallon of milk is around 7. A typical hand and a half sword around 4, and a rapier can be as light as 2lbs easily.

    The issue isn’t really the weight though in my opinion, it’s where the weight is distributed.

    A gallon of milk is concentrated in a pretty small package that you can hold close to your own center of gravity.

    A sword is long and it’s weight, by design, is usually not close to the hilt of the blade. I’m not 100% sure on historic examples, but I try to keep the weight centered around 1/3 up the length of the blade on ones I make.

    Practical upshot is that a lighter sword will flop around and stab people easier than a gallon of milk is dropped due to weight.

    If you want a child to be accidentally dangerous, give them a sword. If you want them to be dangerous on purpose, give them a fixed blade knife under 7in.



  • Please don’t use 3d printed parts in food preparation.

    You already have enough microplastics in your brains, and the layer lines are bacterial breeding grounds. (which are less of a concern if you only use it once or twice but is still relevant)

    Make sure you get a good coat of leaded paint to make sure none of that is a problem.




  • The characters in the comic are terrorists.
    

    Just like almost every depiction of arabs, muslims or people with brown skin in general

    Uhhhhh I think that says more about what media you consume. I haven’t seen an Arab stereotyped as a terrorist since like 2015. In fact, most of the TV I watched for awhile was specifically portraying “US law enforcement sees all Middle easterners as terrorists and treats them poorly and it wasn’t any of them that had anything to do with the bad thing of the episode”






  • I once caused a judge to do that gavel bang “order in the court” thing because I refused to swear in on a Bible and instead insisted on a copy of “The Origin of Species” and a couple of people started talking in the (admittedly nearly empty) courtroom. It wasn’t some massive riot where people are calling for me to be tossed in jail, just some whispers that irritated the judge.

    But it counts!

    My own mother even commented I should have just used the Bible like everyone else and stop making things about how I don’t believe in God, and that my testimony shouldn’t have been allowed because it wasnt on a Bible. This was a court hearing involving my sister and her ex, and I was supporting my sister as a witness, and our mother was saying it should be thrown out because it wasn’t sworn on the Bible.

    I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the federal government tried to make it so you have to swear to trump on a gold copy of his Bible and anything else is either nullified or straight up illegal.


  • I wish my wife could play subnautica with me, as she likes swimming around and stuff but isn’t really “good” at video games, since she never played one until adulthood.

    In Minecraft it’s mostly me doing the work while she does farming stuff. I once came back from a deep mining trip to see a once-empty field filled to the maximum with cows. We had a nice library afterward though.

    I still haven’t beaten subnautica without cheating or taking shortcuts. Heck when I first downloaded it, it didn’t even have an ending yet.

    9.3/10, it’s fun
