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.

  • It allows rainwater to be absorbed rather than running off causing flooding.

    There’s an old theater I performed at twice in Southern Ohio. Built before the Civil War, and surrounded by brick buildings, a brick street out front, brick alley, and brick parking lot area.

    The second time I was there, the street had been paved, as had the back parking area, and large portion of surrounding alleys. Only the single side alley was still brick.

    The first time it rained the week I was there, the basement, while not flooded completely, had so much water running through it to the sunken boiler room, the owners had to toss down some quick 2x4 walkways so nobody was ruining costumes and footwear or slipping and suing. The walls of the basement looked like mini waterfalls.

    I popped outside during a lull and the back parking area and alley were basically acting as a funnel, pushing all the water right up to the sides of the building.

    I just checked a satellite map view and it looks like they’ve at least re-paved the back alley (don’t know if it drains any better but it’s clearly much darker and there’s lines painted) and the building beside it is gone and instead there’s a ton of grass. So maybe it’s better, but I’m sure they shortened the remaining life of the building by a ton.











  • Well, when you come back and read this I hope you had a good trip, since by now (2 hours later) you should be feeling it.

    personal story

    I don’t do shroom since my only 3 trips were bad despite trying to get proper set/setting. I made the mistake of being on my phone and reading normal posts instead of focusing on like cute animals or literally anything intentionally positive… So after first trip, I decided my phone would be locked in my bag and turned off for future trips.

    My last trip was a downward spiral of feeling bad that our wedding wasn’t great since we couldn’t afford much and it was mid-covid so roughly 80% of people didn’t show up, and of those that did, most didn’t stay beyond the ceremony.

    I decided after 3 bad trips, I’m just okay with not trying again.

    Hope you have a great ride! If you see the Sky Snake, tell her I said hi.



  • Lmao Tone is hard to read, I wasn’t upset so if I came across that way my apologies, I was just adding more info in response to points you had raised.

    I would assume if they meant it as some kind of a dig, they wouldn’t accept the invitations to hammock with us. Their tone was friendly, it’s just not a term I’ve heard and given the different comments so far, it seems to be a mixed bag as to whether other people would consider it an insult or a compliment.

    Really though given the context, I’m going to take it as a compliment even if it was meant as an insult.





  • I have no job currently, my clothes are mostly 5+ years old with most of my stuff being around 10 years old from my last retail job when I got them discounted and on clearance, my car rolled off the line before I was conceived and has the damage that says it lives in deer country, and my food comes from wherever is cheapest.

    And they all know these things since we talk about such things at meets along with basically every other topic. pretty much everyone is in the same boat, and with only one exception we all live with roommates and parents.

    If you’re thinking of a 2010 hipster with a man-bun and Abercrombie clothes driving their Leaf from the iPhone store to the fancy food market where everything is 5x the price because someone put the word “organic” in front of “tomato”… I mean, imagine me however you wish, but we are definitely more the type to live in a log cabin we built ourselves away from any kind of technology. I like what gadgets I do have, but I’d trade them for “not living in capitalism hell” any day.
