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.

  • To anyone who doesn’t want to watch videos, it’s a reference to “Beauty and The Beast”, specifically the intro where the entire town sings a song containing lines such as "look there she goes that girl is so peculiar, " “yes she’s strange, no question” and “what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle” (her name) the whole time she is walking around town, well within hearing distance.


  • You know those metal benches with metal arches for “arm rests” a lot of cities installed about a decade ago?

    A lot of them use standard size bolts and Allen keys. No security, or maybe torx if anything.

    Also an adjustable crescent wrench and multi-size Allen wrench tool fit nicely inside a pocket.

    A cordless impact driver and associated bits fit in a small backpack as well.

    What do those tidbits of info have in common?

    Well that’s up to the reader.

    TO BE CLEAR, in case anyone doesn’t understand, I am advocating for people to go out and disassemble anti-homeless architecture as a fuck you to the people who put it there. Being homeless is never a choice (not counting extreme outliers). Life is already shitting on them, denying them even a bench to sleep on for the night is just evil.
















  • There’s one just like that near where I grew up and now that I’m older I want to ask them about heating/cooling, because it’s got to be so much cheaper than a regular house.

    I doubt they would get away with “almost zero” though since it’s basically buried with a small hill rather than dug down or cut into stonea cliff.

    I imagine maintaining it can be a bitch though.


  • I worked as a bike tech for a sporting goods store and replaced most of the store tools with my own. The ones they had were all the cheapest crap from ebay or Amazon or something. One of the wrenches snapped on the first group of bikes we built when the store opened.

    A nice tool that feels good in the hand will pay for itself with the comfort it provides.

    I had to threaten to sue them because when they fired a bunch of us and barred us from the store, they tried to say those tools belong to them even after sending them the receipts for everything. And informing them where the box of original tools went. And having to call someone still in the store to bring me out the most expensive tool there and they had the audacity to tell me that me taking it would make their jobs harder because there was no replacement for it and if I could just be reasonable they’ll have a replacement in a month so I can come back then.
