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.

  • I’ve been seeing a lot of comments on lemmy, youtube, various forums and 3d printing sites, of people promoting bambulabs printers lately.

    I’m not saying they’re definitely paying people or having employees go make comments pushing their products, but I do have a foil hat on standby…

    I’m content with my own ender 3 setup with some modifications in an enclosure but for a split second, I actually considered Bambu for my next printer.

    They killed my desire completely with all their proprietary shit.

    Let me use whatever I want to use with the thing I own, or get completely fucked. Preferably by a cactus, but pineapples are an okay substitute










  • I once got yelled at by a cop for walking across a nearly empty road in columbus Ohio.

    The closest crosswalk was basically 1/4mile in either direction, because the building I was trying to enter is so large.

    I was walking with a cane at the time. And no cars were anywhere close so a snail could have made it across with time to spare. It took some people close by stepping in and arguing for me before the Douchebag dropped it.

    Im sure if I had looked my usual level of disheveled or had any other shade of skin I wouldn’t be so “lucky”



  • “The squeaky hinge gets the grease”

    “The nail that sticks out farthest vets the hammer first”

    These are metaphors to say “since Waymo is the one doing things like driverless taxis all over a city, they’re getting news stories and social media posts”

    Yes, things like Tesla suck too. But tesla isn’t operating a “driverless taxi” service. Yet.

    I’m sure that as something advertised as “driverless” that tesla’s owner gets pissy about it and probably feeds into negative press against them, but that doesn’t excuse what they do.




  • At full sun in winter, I get enough power to charge a battery in about 4 hours.

    With pedal assist, I get about 6-7 hours of cycling.

    Adding in the trailer weight and terrain/clouds depending, the roughly 1200w of power are more than enough to keep me going during daylight.

    That guy needs to use a better panel, and lighter trailer. I’ve seen people who do exactly what I’m wanting to do. Checking the comments, people are more or less saying the same thing.

    I disagree with his assessment, but I do like his style, so thanks for introducing me to a new channel!
