Miles O'Brien

I’m exactly like that.

Can’t remember important things from a week ago, but I could tell you the plot of any random Farscape episode if I see 5 seconds of it.

Also it wasn’t 20…years… August 2000 oh… Oh god… If you’ll excuse me I’m going to go curl up in a ball for a bit and have an existential crisis about a show I enjoyed as a teenager having the audacity to remind me of my age.

Yes.

They were out of sync with the rest of the galaxy for at least 3 months, as that’s how long the Tok’ra have been trying to contact them. 10-12 hours per loop, being generous with the time frame, he got smashed in the face about 200 times.

I say this a bit louder than normal whenever I notice someone is zoning out. I think it’s funny, we have a little chuckle, and move on.

I’m hoping someday to find someone who knows what it’s from.

Legitimately my favorite episode.

Nobody can ever know teal’c’s pain.

Son of a hazmot!

This frelling show is one of the best shows of all time. of all time.

You mean we’ve seen these memes before? How many times?

Uhhhhhh you should probably at least drain out the placenta fluid…

Union man through and through.

Luckily the issue of “cars park too long in spaces” is a solved problem.

Meters, meter monitors, timed parking in general has been around for a long time.

Tow the cars parking beyond the limit, and that becomes a non-issue. No idea what the maximum charge time is on compatible EVs but just put it a little longer than that, and nobody has a reason (beyond the normal things that affect all drivers in timed spaces) to stay there beyond the charging time.

I have everything I need to build an enclosure for my cheap-ass laser. I have things I want to do with the laser when I can use it without smoking up the house. I have not started on it yet.

I have everything I need to make the rc planes I have been designing. Its all sitting on a shelf waiting for me to do my thing.

One of the things has been waiting for me to do my thing since before I moved.

I’ll get to it.

Eventually.

Maybe.

He didn’t finish LOTR at 45, and arguably he never finished them as he was always fiddling with some story or another.

I’d say you’re still doing quite well

Just finished ep 3. it was definitely the forced gender assignment on a baby episode that did it…

Now I’m thinking I should give it another try.

I gave Discovery half a season, I have the Orville 2 or 3 episodes and while it was funny it didn’t really click for me. I just lost interest after a few episodes.

Edit: just finished episode 3. Now I remember why I didn’t keep watching. I should have just read the plot breakdown and skipped the episode. It just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Honestly that just sounds like someone who just forgot to keep drinking while experiencing couch lock… When I’m smoking sativa strains like last night, I am perfectly okay the next day since I’m much more active, and therefore drink more liquids, than when smoking indica strains.

While I’m sure it happens, it’s just not a thing for me or my wife and her friends I guess.

I know someone who loves to smoke, but every time she does, her hands start shaking noticeably, but not enough to need help with things. Except maybe pouring a drink.

Do other people get hangovers from weed? The 4 people I could check with immediately all said they’ve never had one either.

I have changed my opinion from “Janeway did nothing wrong” to “Janeway did the right thing”

It’s a subtle, but important, distinction.

It was.

In Ohio? I’m almost positive it isn’t legal. It’s definitely illegal in states like California. But they’re banking on nobody recording their interview audio (which I will now be doing as Ohio is single-party state) and nobody complaining if asked.

I doubt it’s a company policy, but I did send an email to their company offices to complain about it, for all the good it will do.

Not programming, but in the same vein, A Trek Bicycle store manager asked me in an interview if I would be willing to work a trial shift the next day building bicycles. Unpaid, of course. Just to see if I was a good fit.

Of course, since I was used to building 50 a day, I would have gotten all of them done in a single shift whereas they were needing to call in stores from surrounding areas to come help in a few days.

I laughed and said if they needed help tomorrow I would be happy to work for my usual fee of $20/bike.

Oddly, I did not get the job

I’m starting to think “Fascinating” is the universal translator’s attempt at censoring Vulcans.

Its basically what all of them say when what they should probably be saying is “What the actual fuck is wrong with you?”

Sidenote: I absolutely cracked up in the episode of strange new worlds where Spock
