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.

Well that’s entirely dependent on whether the Borg completely negate the death star weapons.

You only get a couple shots on any given frequency modulation of your energy weapons.

So as long as they have like… 6 or 7 ships? They’re good to go. After losing two or three ships. Just keep shooting until the death star goes boom.

If they hide inside a cargo ship and get tractor beamed into one of the bays, then I’d say it’s only a matter of time before they control the entire death star.

And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.

This was not the case in 2007.

If

Data = current AI

Then

Modern lifeforms = aerobic bacterium,

Modern flip Smartphones = Motorola Microtac,

SR-71 = Wright Model B,

Rimac Never = Ford Model A.

Comparing Data to modern ai is just an insult to Data.

This definitely reads like one of my KSP exploits…

I just assume like 75% of the people who read posts like this a believe the poster’s intended message simply live in areas with such poor public transport, the idea that there are not only multiple busses running to the same destination, but those busses are full Is simply so alien to them, they just assume something fucky is going on.

I lived in a small city in Ohio, and I gotta say… It was wild being in Columbus for a convention and being able to catch a bus on my own street within minutes of walking up to the stop, and seeing a mostly full bus.

The few times I used my home city’s transportation, I had to leave early enough to walk a good mile to the nearest stop (where I had to wait about 20 minutes since the bus was 10 minutes late), and make all the appropriate transfers so that I get to work on time, and I was one of three people on the bus usually. And I arrived at my destination a full 45 minutes before I needed to be there, but it was that or walk for several hours both ways.

Functional public transport is an alien concept when your nearest neighbor is half a mile down the road.

Every time my wife gets mad at a video, I remind her the only reason she is seeing it is because she’s watched similar videos before, so it thinks she wants more. If she didn’t rage-watch, it wouldn’t show her more.

I saw an arcade version at a flea market in Ohio a few weeks ago.

I was confused as fuck, but figured “well the creator probably doesn’t give enough of a shit to sue anyone over it”

I guess I’m kinda right.

I actually sent a rescue mission to save one of my kerbals and the science they had on board, and ended up needing to launch a mission to save the rescue mission…

Had to break it up into three launches, two to build the larger ship in orbit and one to fuel it up.

I learned a lot about orbital mechanics that day…

Total time in space was probably about 20 years…

And I may have forgotten about a kerbals in one or two plays…

I think the city busses ran from 6am-8pm? Maybe 9? So not 24 hours but still a good stretch longer than some of the surrounding cities. I know the bus stop near one of my friends only has a bus every 2 hours, and there are days it just doesn’t show up.

It’s crazy that a large city would have worse transportation than a city of 40-50,000.

I decided riding a bicycle was a better idea for my area, so I didn’t use the busses long.

Probably would have gotten way less injuries though…
