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.

  • The obvious choice is to buy a multi-piece rifle, full size or pcc is up to you, that breaks into 2+ pieces.

    Have your pet carriers modified to carry the pieces and some utility things like ammo/cleaning/batteries/etc.

    Now when you load up your pets, you also have your carry gun!

    No part of this was thought out for practicality, results may vary from intent.

    Arm your kitties.


  • Oh god it’s another cursed abomination from gunnitrust.

    This isn’t the first time I’ve seen it today, and if it wasn’t made by AI I have to assume someone crafted the original image, giggling to themselves as they put so many features that don’t mesh into it, while also seeming like it could.

    Honestly it almost looks like a Bren 805, but something doesn’t quite look right about the receiver. Like it’s a high receiver from an AR platform, but everything else looks like an 805.

    Ive been wanting to get a 308 for awhile since most of my stuff is pistol caliber or 556. Awhile back I almost got a coworkers dad to sell me his FAL, but then the day before the exchange he decided he wanted to keep it. Ah well.


  • What guns? I lost mine in a boating accident. Terrible tragedy, but I figure they’re a waste of money and haven’t bought another one.

    Oh, all that ammo? I just keep that for emotional support. It’s been hard since the accident…

    Just don’t ask what’s behind my “I sure do love me some Jesus” shrine or why the wall behind it doesn’t make sense with the wall placement in the other room, or why I have 42 copies of the Bible in extra large print on one shelf in the living room…

    (LPT: they don’t open bibles and they probably wouldn’t destroy a Jesus memorial in front of others who supposedly love Jesus in order to discover the hidden door to the storage room)

    I recently watched a 3d video in a small theater about dinosaurs, and in the video we follow a T-Rex mother from her first eggs to death, including a fight with another dinosaur that ends up crippling a leg, and then the last few shots of her are limping toward carrion to survive a little longer, and then dead in a creek bed and I legitimately almost walked out of the little theater we were in.

    I may have smoked a little before going in, so I may have been a little more emotional than usual. But still.

    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
