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 just drove to Michigan and back, saw maybe 5 vehicles, including a semi covered in lights.

    One just had a single dollar store strand around the hood, one had followed all the panel lines on the car, and the others were just wrapped a couple times over the top and underside.

    None were flashing or twinkling, just steady lights.

    As long as they don’t flash or move while driving, honestly I don’t think a couple strands would be that distracting except maybe a double-take

    I can see how this many lights would be distracting for some. I would definitely look more than twice, if I had space around me.

    Still though I think I’d just ask them to leave most of the lights off while actually on the move at most.




  • Same.

    I listened to the original Broadway cast so many times I was concerned I wouldn’t like a “cover” of it. After my sister said she liked it, and listening to a song and not finding it objectionable, I had even considered watching it.

    This is the first I’ve heard of it being a two parter, so they hid it well. I’m surprised my sister didn’t say anything

    Not a chance in hell I’m watching it until part two comes out in physical media so I can watch them both in one go. I hate breaking up the flow, even for a few hours while I wait for the next screening…





  • Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

    Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.



  • “tech enthusiast” vs “IT guy” in a nutshell.

    Tech enthusiast: a little privacy breach is okay, as a treat for the headphones I already paid them money for. It’s not their fault their app wants to know these things. It’s mostly all good.

    IT guy: shoot it 417 times after you uninstall it to make sure it’s truly no longer on your phone.

    Side story: I forgot my good earbuds at home one day and decided I didn’t want to hear tools all day, so I bought a new pair at the store I was working at that day. 2 minutes later I’m at the counter again to return them because they wanted me to download an app and wouldn’t pair without it. Bought a $1 pack of earplugs instead.
