Transporter Room 3

And if you take a hit to performance (you will) you might get fired! And then all that was for nothing.

Honestly I think if that happened to me I’d fire the building. From existence.

He was usually in 3, and in DS9 when Picard catches him before he disembarks the Enterprise, he leaves from 3 and Picard mentions it’s O’brien’s favorite transporter room.

There may or may not be a few patterns in storage…

“Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice”

What do you even do if your office gets burned and melted by a volcano? Do you take a week “off” and all meet up in a new space? Do you look for a new job? Like damn, if the warehouse I work in burned down I’d be completely out of a job unless I can move 1,000 miles away.

The Picard Maneuver, flying squid, Riker…

Basically anyone who posts to Chevron7 or Ten Forward who has a profile picture… I recognize the pictures more than the names for most.

Personally, I don’t want people to remember me, I just want someone to go “hey, I know what your profile is in reference to! Nerd-five!” and be on about our business.

Here in the Midwest, I got a lovely view of…

Clouds.

Thanks

Personally I like the explanation that nobody knows how to use the three shells, and that’s why everyone joins in the mockery if someone dares ask, because they don’t want anyone to think they don’t know.

So they all use their hands to scrape. That helps explain why they don’t shake hands anymore, and why they’re obsessive about cleanliness.

When you’ve done dirty, dirty things… Everything must be clean.

(US) I’ve been to gas stations in big cities, small towns, little collections of buildings that have no official name but they have a dollar general and a gas station, etc…

I’ve seen several kinds.

Single hose to dispense 87-93 (“normal”) gasoline, and one for diesel

One hose for normal gas, one for diesel, and one for high-ethanol

One for all gasoline types and one for diesel

One super fancy stainless-steel-clad gas station that looked like something from retrofuturism had 5 hoses, one each for 87,90,93, e15, diesel, and the farthest end pump had a line for kerosine.

Never seen a combined gas and diesel hose though.

DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE

Oh I’m sure they “tried” in a very circuitous, unfavorable, nobody-would-ever-have-agreed-to-this way.

Kind of like saying “can I download my indie game to your computer and also kick you in your genitals with a spiky boot?”

Before anyone tries pointing out that’s not exactly how it would have happened, I suggest you look up “hyperbole”

Guess we’d be seeing how well they can fight a fire in the station, or their vehicles.

I think I’d be getting arrested if I saw “firefighters” (in this instance a bunch of fatasses LARPING as firefighters) standing around my house ignoring it because apparently there’s no real station nearby. Because if nobody moved the truck to help and I had something large and heavy available, I’m swinging. Or flooring my truck into the side they’re standing on.

Yes, I would absolutely be unhinged in that scenario and I don’t feel bad for any bad thing that happens to people who have the ability to help, but do nothing. I don’t give half a shit what their reason for not helping was/is/ever will be. You could have helped. You did nothing.

"Take a super bright light, stick it just beneath the edge of a counter, and slowly bring it up over the edge. Like really slowly. And make sure it’s super cold in the room so it makes the warmth from the light better. And also maybe play some birdsong in the background. It’s like that but way bigger. Belting out a good ‘NANTS INGONYAMA’ when the light shows up is optional. "

“choice to be trans”

Well there you go, transphobia pretending to disguise itself. Go ahead and try to justify your wording, you’ve already lost plenty of people’s respect. Of course if that “doesn’t matter” to you, you probably shouldn’t have brought it up.

People don’t seem to realize that their consumption of a product is seen by its beneficiaries.

Sure not YOU directly, but when someone sees “oh this place also set up something dedicated solely to the thing I made, they must really like me and approve of the things I do/say!” and others who agree with their shitty views think “oh they agree too, otherwise why promote it?”

Is it possible to separate the creatOR from the creatION? Yes. But not for everyone, and many of those who can’t will see your support as support of their own shitty ideals that match the creators’.

Sure, you may not be antisemitic, but the country club you go to for lunch sure is. Go ahead and pretend you’re not supporting them I guess.

Smart, pretty, rich parents in positions to boost her early career, generic songs that young women and girls everywhere can project their own issues onto, blonde and white, early career (and again, blonde pretty and white) made her more popular with the country crowd, tons of luck…

Talent can only get you so far.

It’s like people who complain about energy efficient lighting because now they have to go knock the snow off the light instead of letting excess heat melt it.

I can never hear or read that word without being haunted.

Ed…Ward…

… I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t also that.

I can be fine in a t-shirt and shorts while my skinny friends are in sweaters and fuzzy socks.

They wear thin-soled boots and improper warm weather gear because they feel they have something to prove.

I wear them because I’m poor.

We are not the same. smug look of superiority

Weird, I know a couple who did exactly this about 13 months ago. They’re divorced now. Unfortunately they spawned a child who will now have to deal with two parents who hate each other and can’t stop fighting in front of them at every meeting.

All from some kind of weird macho trip fuelled by insecurity.
