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.

  • Skilled truckers

    I have met truck drivers that can (and have demonstrated) back their trailer up to a cargo dock blindfolded.

    I’ve met some that can navigate turning radii (radiuses? Radiens?) smaller than my old Nissan.

    And then I’ve also met some that couldn’t figure out their 13ft tall trailer can’t fit under a 12ft 8 bridge…

    For the most part though, in my experience truck drivers are better drivers than 97% of regular drivers.







  • I ended up finally giving it a shot last month, and I recall having seen stuff about season 2.

    I finished season 1 in 2 days, and then found out season 2 hadn’t quite come out yet.

    Then I did what I always do and waited for all the episodes to come out… I got halfway through season 2 before my last month I’m paying for streaming services ran out.

    So now I will indefinitely be halfway through season 2.

    I should have started season 2 the day the last episode was released.



  • Look, if you have an aural processing issue I totally understand, but if you’re just being racist against droids as some kind of hold-over from the clone wars, GTFO.

    There’s a massive difference between “GONK” and “GONK”. They sound nothing alike.

    Next you’re going to tell me that ewoks could take on an imperial brigade…






  • She called the Asian girl “ching chong”, she called one of the few black people in it “shackle bolt”, and she might as well have called the Irish kid “Irish O’Carbomb” given his name an propensity for unintentionally setting things on fire.

    Don’t even get me started on the goblins.

    She straight up admitted lycanthropy is HIV, and all werewolves are interested j is spreading their disease by attacking anyone nearby, one werewolf specifically targets children, if I remember correctly.

    The only gay characters I am aware of, one is a villain, and the other other is “one of the good ones” who never acted on it after a point and just stayed a celibate single.

    The only non-magical users in the magic world “squibs”, basically disabled people, are portrayed as shitty humans. Every summer Harry got left with ms fig who was “a mad old lady”, and the school caretaker Filch, who is a sadist that welcomes umbridge with open arms, a parasite who latches on to whoever benefits him most.

    I’m sure there’s others I’ve never caught or thought about.

    Unfortunately, due to different showrunners, there are a couple.

    Like how Tony didn’t figure out hydra was infiltrating SHIELD when he hacked everything in Avengers 1. Probably should have figured that out.

    And I know people like to say there are too many hydra people for them to not be well-known or easier to discover, but personally I don’t take issue with that.

    If hydra has infiltrated key personnel, they can move whoever they want. I’d say they concentrated their forces at headquarters and on the carriers, since that was part of their big master plan. So of course there will be a lot of bags guys in the main areas and in the carriers, and it’s a testament to how few there really were that they failed. And they had sizeable resistance from non-compromised personnel.



  • I’ve managed to get two first round interviews, and I’m a “perfect candidate” for one and have been invited to a second interview. They dropped a surprise drug test that wasn’t mentioned at any point before, and while they won’t find any hard drugs, THC is legal in my state. So if I get past the second interview, I have to just hope they don’t care about thc.

    At least if they do, I’ll have wasted their time as much as mine, and more importantly, their money on the tests.
