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.
140 (87mph).
I’m sure there are cars where I wouldn’t feel a thing and all that, but mine would shake itself apart.
120/75 is my limit, and honestly my truck shouldn’t be going over 90/55 because it loses the tiny bit of efficiency it has.
New noises don’t bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it’s a mess but it’s all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.
It’s the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.
Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you’ll hit a bump at 15 and the whole front bottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.
No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn’t prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit…
Toss a rock at a shitty car? Terrorist
Shoot a thief that stole part of your life by denying you Healthcare? Terrorist
Plot and carry out a plan to kill people due to their political beliefs during a time you know you could have reason to be around them and use shady online services to help plan things in order to coerce political change?
… checks every possible definition to find a loophole
Not terrorism? poker face
10/10 government we have, just the best people, I’m super duper thrilled to be trapped in this shit hole country
That’s literally what it feels like: being stuck in an objective (the planet) and you have a teammate that’s SUPER gung ho about the fact he’s got a bomb vest (nukes) on that will go off if he dies, and you’re just praying he doesn’t catch a stray round (attack) while shooting at people from the doorway (doing proxy war things or just straight up committing/supporting genocide/ethnic cleansing/war of extermination/etc) or lose connection (leadership going insane).
If any of those things happen, you know you’re all toast. And it’s all mostly outside of your control.
I hate to use video games as a metaphor for literal nuclear war and sorry for spelling it out like I’m talking to a child but I felt it was needed for clarity.
We’re all on the planet together, and no one will ever be able to force everyone into submission, the more we fight the shorter time we have as a species.
nobody should have nuclear weapons.
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if the scientists working on the Manhattan project had all agreed it’s too much and intentionally sabotage every test.
Yeah, but this way you get to make sure your intended target actually gets hit instead of assuming the following nuclear wastwland would destroy your target like everything else.
It’s like the Martyrdom perk in fps games. You die and drop a grenade or c4 pack or something and explode, hopefully taking out the person who killed you.
It’s just a dead-man switch to get the AD part of MAD.
Effective? Maybe.
Incredibly stupid? Yes.
Is that stopping the US and Russia from doing it? Lolno we invented this dumb shit.
The world is run by insane people who would rather see the planet scorched into a lifeless rock than admit their way of doing things might be wrong.
It works at the current 93 billion light years of observable universe (46ish in every direction)
38 digits of pi can get the circumference of the visible universe to within a single hydrogen atom.
10 digits gets the diameter of the earth to within an inch.

I genuinely think he’s got that “someone told me I’m not allowed to do something so now it’s my only thought and I will do it no matter what” mentality that 6 year Olds have.
Someone told him he’s not allowed to use nuclear weapons, so he wants nothing more than to have an excuse.
Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don’t think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.
From my understanding, he has solar/wind powered well pumps, and a septic system he can “shovel out” himself. He had a covered box for deliveries next to his mailbox, and anything that needs to be dropped close to the house can drive straight in, I assume he plans those out ahead of time.
I just checked street view maps and since the last time I was over there he actually has a driveway now! With a gate across it.
Last time I spoke to him regularly enough that house questions wouldnt be weird, he was already working on solar power and already had a “battery wall” from 18650 cells cobbled together from surplus and garage sale battery packs. Had a whole table set up with testing and monitoring stuff for it. Apparently when the power went out, he could keep his fridge and freezer going for “almost a week”
I’m sure by now he’s gotten some of the trees cleared so he can have a garden, as that was also on the list of things he wanted to do to the place.
So he’s probably living as off grid as possible by now, while still using satellite or cellular internet.
It would be weird for me to just out of the blue start talking to him to ask more about it, we were never really “friends” friends, more “he’s friends with my friend so by extension we hang out” which makes it weirder. Not sure why, we just didn’t seem to interact outside of hangouts and group chats. Although if I’m being honest it’s probably because his family is rich so any time he went on about the stuff he’s “built” and “earned” it just rubbed me the wrong way.
But It’s a nice setup for sure.
Wow, I sure am glad I know where to avoid dirty mods for skyrim now.
I can bookmark it so I know not to go there!
I’ll be honest, they fucked this game over hard in my opinion.
It really does feel like they separated everyone into teams, and none of the teams spoke to each other once. They all just delivered their chunk of the game without connecting pieces together.
Base building was a nightmare, and that’s the primary reason I downloaded it in the first place.
Then I finished the main quest and spoilers ahead for anyone who cares
The concept of “well now you’re out of the universe so let’s go to a new one right at the start of the game again but this time a few things might be slightly different” was fun until all my hard work figuring things out with the bases got erased by “and by the way literally everything except your experience and abilities has been reset and you can either choose continuing the ability tree and maybe solve some mysteries of who built everything or you can care about the current universe but you can’t do both”
Kind of killed literally every desire I had to play the game. Especially when they patched the easily accessed chests that at least gave me a shortcut to some things.
I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of “hey you aren’t allowed to talk about that” or “you violated a mysterious rule sometime”
But is it interactive?
Also I’m sure part of it for some people is the corruption of something that wasn’t originally smut.
Wow, that’s terrible! What mod is this? So I can avoid it? What a weird thing! That I’m definitely going to avoid and not go check out.
But I am a tad mystified. I do wonder what kind of lifestyle it is that leads a person to turn a videogame main menu into hardcore pornography.
It must be the author’s first day on the internet.
If the internet were banned globally, porn mags would immediately disappear from shelves, and anything up to and including national geographic where they show cultures where clothing is sparse would all be hard to find, as the porn starved masses come out of their jizz encrusted caves to find something to give them that little hit of dopamine and oxytocin.
I don’t understand this mentality from people who already have their name out there. You’re supposedly famous and you’re getting mad about being even more famous and recognizable.
A doll house where there’s an even smaller doll house inside, where the tiny TV in the living room plays episodes of the show Dollhouse.
I can confirm you can make a shotgun pretty easily with a trip to the hardware store and as long as you properly rust proof it, it’ll last quite some time. Especially if you have a way to purchase thicker than normal wall piping. If you don’t have a drill press and welder already, it’ll be a little expensive.
Partially 3d printed aemi-auto is slightly harder, but again can confirm quite reliable if done right, and accurate as fuck if you properly rifle the barrel.
