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.
And the United States government, whose nuclear launch systems for decades had a default “0000000” password on systems so old they figured nobody would know how to hack them in person anymore, and they’re incompatible with the internet.
It’s disturbing to me that my high school hobby of fixing and operating old computers meant I could have launched nukes.
Why do that and risk actually losing, when you can go after the small guy and send a message to the plebs?
Everybody gangsta till the snow starts speaking Finnish.
“Herr Colonel and dozens of other commanders did say ze war was to exterminate ze jews and dominate ze world, but maybe it’s just zeir own personal feelings and surely not ze fuhrer’s intent”
That solar panel looks useful.
Since I have never gone out in nondescript black clothing at night to destroy these things, I can’t say from firsthand knowledge…
But yes, yes they are. They make great trickle chargers for large batteries that only get used intermittently. Or string several together and enjoy an ebike battery charger. I have a similarly sized and shaped panel I found somewhere that I use to charge my 18650 bank.
A couple flock cameras near my town keep getting taken out and put back up.
The latest blurry security camera footage to catch the culprit has led to sweet FA since they ride a nondescript dark color mountain bike, wear all black clothing without logos or text, and seem to avoid riding their bike unmasked near businesses with cameras and houses that might have door cameras.
I don’t even think they know gender/skin/hair color. Anything other than “average human height” really.
Anyway, shout out to everyone who destroys one of these things. It’s illegal, but it’s the morally correct thing to do.
The white brick at the bottom is for detecting large objects (cars) and is either controlling a traffic signal, or is being used to count traffic going through that spot.
An intersection near me uses them to switch the lights at an intersection where traffic almost never comes from, so a timed light is unnecessary, but important traffic still comes from that direction.
I work in a place that deals primarily with aluminum extrusion and sheeting.
About a month ago one of the guys at lunch was saying something about how he doesn’t want his ex-wife to get his kids vaccinated because “all the aluminum and mercury is gonna make them r*****d”
I told him to take a closer look at his tuna sandwich because he definitely has shed aluminum dust onto his food unless he takes his jacket off and shakes his hair out, and he should probably wear a mask because that faint glitter in the air isn’t fairy dust. Also look up mercury content in tuna.
The HR guy came out because apparently I “called a coworker a slur for autistic people” when he connected the dots that “if I believe those things make one autistic then they must be calling me autistic since I inhale and ingest aluminum all day at work and mercury is in my food” and felt that I was insulting him by informing him of the things he should already know.
(apologies if this was a little incoherent, I just woke up)
S3, ep 9 “Trusted Sources”
The crew of the Cerritos is performing their duties during “Project Swing-by” and upon checking in on the planet of Brekka, who had a drug-dealer like relationship with the Ornarans (TNG s1e22, Symbiosis), discover the population is almost non-existent, and the only lead are the Breen, who ambush the crew and Brekkian civilians.
I really don’t like ice. It’s cold, slippery and wet.
And it gets everywhere.
Just like the shitty US fascist police…
Even if I did, too late you greedy bigots.
American here, I got to hear it, and it’s all anyone around me was talking about yesterday.
Not for immediate profits and plans for expansion in energy storage.
Just for general survival of the planet.
But no government actually cares about that. That’s poor people problems.
I wonder how difficult it would be to make a heating system directly powered by solar panels. It doesn’t have to be enough heat to make a person comfortable in a t-shirt, but just enough to allow normal battery operation.
I’m sure that depends on a lot of factors like shed insulation/wall facing direction, etc, and burying the battery bank would probably be more effective.

Intrusive thoughts: “go on, poke it with a knife. See what happens firsthand”
As usual, the opponent of recycling things is simply “it’s too expensive”
The ultimate failing of the future, as always, is current reliance on capitalism.
Why recycle when you make more money by blowing up the planet and ripping out the good stuff?
Tldr: Long winded way of saying “is he wrong to assume that?”
American here, I can assure you that the majority of the people around me have absolutely no idea about anything involving the UK government.
In the last month I have overheard two separate conversations in different states, asking if the UK has a “president”, and at least one got the answer “no, they have a queen”.
I’m not even sure most Americans are aware the queen died. I’m not sure how they could possibly have missed it, but our country is collectively under a rock, so…
I have heard many people over the years trying to argue US law for things happening in the UK.
I have had to inform a great many people that the UK includes Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Most people have been surprised to find out Ireland isn’t united as a single country.
Americans in general are not smart. Even less informed about anything that happens outside the US than I assume most people in the EU know about the US state Ohio.
Insane bullshit.
I have a kit with me every day of my life, and I’ve had to refill it many times due to using it on others.
It would be pure coincidence that I happen to be carrying a first aid kit on any given day, and if I’m going to a peaceful protest I’m bringing my trauma kit because the entire fucking world knows how cops treat protesters.
