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.

  • Personal anecdote from cooking for years for a variety of people of varying intelligence, background, and countries:

    Most people claim it gives them headaches and nausea.

    They “know” this because they feel it every time they eat (american) “Chinese food”

    Not a single one has ever had either symptom after eating my cooking that has a little sprinkled in.

    Now, I have tried to prove a point to some by informing them (many hours after the food, and asking about how they feel) that they in fact ingested MSG without issue and had no symptoms, usually to rounds of spontaneous nausea and headaches that had apparently gone unnoticed for hours until just then.

    It could be that ingesting a shit-load of greasy, oily, carbs and over-eating that caused their nausea and headaches when they gorged themselves on “Chinese” food, but no, they know it’s the MSG.





  • Because not enough people are heading out in the dead of night with dark nondescript clothing, a large mask, some small tools, and smashing the ever-loving fuck out of the very unprotected cameras.

    Someone around my area has been going out and riding a generic dark colored mountain bike and destroying some of the cameras in the area. Cops sitting to watch them kind of defeats the purpose of them and they’re largely left alone, and if they have hidden cameras to watch them, they aren’t capturing enough info to lead to an arrest.

    I am in no way advocating that people bring a hacksaw and/or cordless sawzall to pull the poles down, crack open the solar panel housing, and cannibalize the battery and solar panel to reuse with mesh radios to help resist illegal occupations and state-led domestic terrorism.





  • My employer “encourages” everyone to clock in for the day and from lunch up to 7 minutes early.

    My employer also likes to take any and every opportunity to punish people for “abusing breaks” which here means “you walked to the break area and took your 15 minute break and walked back to your station” instead of "15minutes starts at your station and ends at your station so you really only get an 8-12 minute break depending on how far you have to walk.

    And forget about bathroom breaks outside your 15s and lunch.

    My employer also pays the same every single week, regardless of whether you clocked in 7 minutes early every day or exactly on time.

    My employer calls our “abuse” of breaks and lack of clocking in early “wage theft”

    The first time I got written up for going to the bathroom and he said “wage theft” I went and printed out 100 copies of a wage theft guide with sources and graphs to demonstrate how employers are the #1 driver of wage theft and it’s not even close. Plastered them all over where there are no cameras.






  • was legitimately stoned for the rest of the day. Like, could barely control myself.

    Okay, seriously. Does this actually happen?

    I hit a 84% thc vape from Michigan today, and after about 5 minutes felt nothing. 3 8 second drags until the vape auto-shutoff each time, and I feel it for about 30-45 minutes.

    If I want to be stoned literally all day, I have to be hitting the vape at least every 30-90 minutes depending on how hard I hit it.

    I usually don’t even feel edibles until I’ve had 30-50mg.

    I’m genuinely curious how much it takes for other people to get high, and how they experience it. I feel like I’m missing out.
