Miles O'Brien

I saw no pedantry, only interesting information.

WOAH there, slow down a bit.

He would never go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives.

He will send OTHER people, no point in getting his shoes dirty by actually going there.

It’s an American tradition.

Honestly I find Russian general’s belief in a 3 day offensive more credible than that.

Nearly 1000 days later, even.

I legitimately think he will die before ever seeing consequences.

The people in charge are too fucking scared to actually punish him because TERRORISM WORKS

They just straight up don’t want to punish people because they’re afraid some MAGAts might get mad and start continue to shoot things up.

They tried to murder members of congress and the vice president once, and nobody involved has recieved a punishment fitting of the crime. Certainly not the punishment we were taught happens when we were in school.

No offense to the bald comminuty meant, my favorite commanding officers were bald!

I just meant some of the right wingers are already making themselves bald (skinheads) like ferengi are bald.

Perhaps not forced birthers, they ARE however extremely sexist and force their women to be naked at all times, and have no rights…

I’d say the rest of us are more like aliens forced to LIVE on Ferenginar.

Don’t even get me started on how the average right-wing/incel/pilled male is basically already an honorary ferengi…

Sharpen their teeth and give them some giant lobes and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Some of them even shave their heads already…

Also how many are repeat callers.

“Hey Bert, Old Man Jenkins called in another Santa Clause, do you have eyes on a plane around the airport?”

“Sure do, Tina. Small single engine is making it’s approach now.”

“okay thanks. I’ll give you another ring when he calls in for the 243rd time this year…”

Back when I was a teenager in church, some of the local cops would be talking shit about the “crazies” they would arrest, and apparently one guy would call in about UFOs every time the nearest air force base used the training airspace that was overhead. Multiple times a week, and I guess never listened that it wasn’t aliens.

Here’s the one that convinced my dad that connecting everything is bad:

Your smart fridge knows what’s inside and knows you just added a 12 pack of soda and donuts to the shopping list. They sell that data to a bunch of companies, including your insurance company. They know you have diabetes.

Your insurance rates just went up for the fifth time this year because your insurance company knows what you’re eating.

And it’s a good thing you don’t drink beer or your car insurance would have gone up ‘due to increased risk factors.’ too bad you wanted to buy a new car this year.

Not only can you not afford it now, the price went up because they know you want a car. I’m sure they would make a payment deal with you though.

And every company will know all about the deal, the beer, the donuts, and all it took was sending money to whatever company had the information, and they were more than happy to sell it.

The more we allow companies to freely operate like this without regulation and without proper punishment for breaking the rules, we will continue sliding toward the hellscape of Ferenginar. For the non trekkies, it’s a hyper-capitalist species of profit-driven assholes.

Red = ded

If you don’t want ded, make sure no red.

My old school didn’t understand why none of us wanted to use the shiny new dark green playground equipment on the large flat freshly sealed blacktop.

Never mind the fact that it’s too hot on the pavement, the tar sealant smells horrible, and the color choice of the equipment guarantees 2nd degree burns…

We wanted the grass and wooden equipment back. But the school though wood was too much maintenance, And grass grows too much.

I’m not gonna go check to see if kids are even using it anymore, but satellite imagery shows the playground is still just as gross.

No atmosphere means very little thermal radiation is pulled from radiators.

I imagine the best bet would be to drill into the surface of the moon and sink your radiators into the ground, fill the gaps with a material that transfers heat well.

Easiest version of that would probably be to lay the radiators on or just below the surface and bury them in a regolith concrete mixture of some sort. Probably not as efficient as drilling straight in, but way less complicated I imagine.

I actually sent a rescue mission to save one of my kerbals and the science they had on board, and ended up needing to launch a mission to save the rescue mission…

Had to break it up into three launches, two to build the larger ship in orbit and one to fuel it up.

I learned a lot about orbital mechanics that day…

Total time in space was probably about 20 years…

And I may have forgotten about a kerbals in one or two plays…

I saw an arcade version at a flea market in Ohio a few weeks ago.

I was confused as fuck, but figured “well the creator probably doesn’t give enough of a shit to sue anyone over it”

I guess I’m kinda right.

“Yay, I get to legally murder someone today! This’ll shut up my hippy liberal relatives” -Metz, shortly before pulling up to the teen’s car

This definitely reads like one of my KSP exploits…

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

Well that’s entirely dependent on whether the Borg completely negate the death star weapons.

You only get a couple shots on any given frequency modulation of your energy weapons.

So as long as they have like… 6 or 7 ships? They’re good to go. After losing two or three ships. Just keep shooting until the death star goes boom.

If they hide inside a cargo ship and get tractor beamed into one of the bays, then I’d say it’s only a matter of time before they control the entire death star.

You go right ahead and ignore the lever, I’m sure all the people on both sets of tracks understand you not wanting to get involved since it doesn’t benefit you to pull it.
