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.

  • One of two things is going to happen when companies decide they own (all) the fresh water (and people become desperate)

    Either the company hires enough goons and/or thugs to keep their “investment” safe through lethal force and scare the plebs away, possibly employing bribing “lobbying” governments to do it for them

    OR

    The people who are right there next to water sources they are being told to pay more than they can afford to drink from will arm themselves and overwhelm the defending forces with sheer numbers, resulting in an internationally covered bloodbath, kickstarting Water War 1 as other companies rush to beat back any perceived defiance, nations attempt to secure access to fresh water whether it’s on their land or not, and normal people prepare for the worst.


  • Who doesn’t?

    I go a bit farther than most people and bring disinfecting wipes to wipe down before and after I use the machine. After seeing a gym employee pour half of one cleaning spray bottle into another and fill them both with water from the drink fountain, I decided I didn’t trust gyms to have proper cleaning supplies.

    By the time I die I will probably have spent a full gym’s worth of equipment in wipes, but for now I still can’t afford a home gym outside a couple free weights.



  • THIS! RIGHT HERE!

    When I was young and naive about digital things, I had NO BACKUP

    One day I got a new laptop. Yay me. Transfer all the data from my old hard drive using some jank-ass local network setup because young and dumb about tech still.

    Six months go by, and my new laptop shit itself. Still no idea what happened, but it BSODd and a factory reset got it working again.

    I still had my old laptop, so after about a week of searching on forums and reading everything I could find about how to build a pc, how laptop internals compare, data transfers, and literally anything I could so I could pull the old hard drive out without damaging anything and get at least some of my data without issue…

    I lost 6 months of new stuff on a much more capable laptop, but it’s better than losing EVERYTHING.





  • My life has been directly, negatively impacted by Christian extremism far more than Islamic extremism.

    So far I have yet to enter a clinic that has been damaged by a Muslim’s molotov because someone is doing a thing that they think their special book says not to do.

    All religion is incompatible with civilized society as long as there are those who would twist it into a cudgel to beat down the nonbelievers.

    If you think that Islam is somehow worse than others, not only are you misinformed of current issues the world over, you are also misinformed about history in general.
