It was started as a eugenics dating club. There’s a reason that Mensa and Σ4 are primarily white dudes.
- Comment on Trump Bemoans Not Winning Nobel Peace Prize During Netanyahu Hot Mic 1 day ago:
Since this is /c/conservative, I feel free to point out that Trump only wants a Nobel Peace Prize because Obama, the president that had the temerity to make fun of Trump at the Whitehouse Press Dinner, was given a Nobel Peace Prize.
The thing is, and I have no love for Obama, or pretty much any politician, Obama basically said, “Are you sure? I don’t think this is a good idea, but I won’t refuse it.”
Any politician that actually understands what they actually do, wouldn’t want a Nobel Peace Prize. They so rarely are able to actually further anything resembling peace, that they sell out to whatever billionaire will have them.

He basically admits that he’s been picking over both battlegrounds and boneyards to create these 1:1 replicas. He said that the saucer had to be recovered because of The Prime Directive, apparently there was a native pre-warp species on the planet they crashed the saucer section onto, and the nacelles, pylons, and warp core came from the wreck of the NCC Saratoga (?). I suspect that would be the entire Battle Section of The Saratoga, since the Battle Section of The Enterprise was thoroughly destroyed, so that includes the main deflector dish, main engineering, the engine room, and something like 7 decks of the ship.

I dunno what the standard practice is, but Geordie has a museum of fully functional, and apparently armed, ships. At the very least he rebuilt the Enterprise D over the last 20 years, and managed to get her operational from just the bridge with a command crew only.

I forgot about the moopsy. I think that thing could possibly take down a Rancor
- Comment on No contest 2 days ago:
I’m pretty sure Geordie “owns” The Enterprise D in Picard.

So, an old paddlewheel boat from the Mississippi or Ohio rivers?

- Comment on Why aren't tall people also wider? 4 days ago:
We aren’t even in the top 10 fattest countries. Hell, for a few years at the beginning of the 2000s, GB was fatter than we were.
- Comment on AI data centers may soon be powered by retired US Navy nuclear reactors from aircraft carriers and submarines 4 days ago:
I’m just a former Navy Nuke, but I see a major issue with this. Namely, by the time we retire ship-board nuclear reactors, they have been absorbing neutrons and radiation for 30 years, so the steel is weak enough that you could put a ball-peen hammer through it.
- Comment on Soviet Onion 1 week ago:
Bah, real Soviets need no onions, or corn, imperialist crops. We survive on Soviet Turnips!

I really hope… :(
- Comment on Grid-Scale Bubble Batteries Will Soon Be Everywhere 1 week ago:
Nuclear, in the 1970s. We should have had molten salt reactors worldwide by the 1990s, but the US just sat on the tech, because of permit issues. If I could, I would take all the research that was done on MSRs by the end of the 1970s to then Captain Rickover in 1950.
- Comment on When you're cooking and it does its thing. 1 week ago:
That’s sugar. No. Really. Sugar straight up caused the slave trade to explode in the 1500s and 1600s. Later Hitler turned it into Zycklon - B.
- Comment on We're switching produce! 1 week ago:
It’s the tie and sweater vest. Totally British. Eccentric old man British, but very British.

- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
Raw celery with peanut butter is a good snack
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
Also Cajun cooking uses celery, green bell pepper, and onion as their mirepoix. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find celery as an aromatic used in other cuisines as well.
- Comment on this is a stickup 1 week ago:
Yep
- Comment on Neither do I, Mr. Raccoon 2 weeks ago:
Prisoners die in custody of completely preventable diseases daily in the US. The for profit jail and prison system has made it so that medical access amounts to nothing, unless you are bleeding out, you get Tylenol or nothing.

- Comment on This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years 2 weeks ago:
If you can get me safely to .999 C, slow me down, and get me back to Earth at .999 C, sure. The entire trip for me would only be about two years, provided a consistent 1 G of acceleration. Just please make it so that reversing acceleration doesn’t completely screw me, so my spaceship doesn’t have to do a complicated flip a bit after the halfway point on each trip. I’m certain that wouldn’t be good for my stomach.
- Comment on This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years 2 weeks ago:
Beyond that, the sun has about 5 billion years before we might not be able to starlift it back to a “younger” state, so The Earth and Venus may not exist at all if we don’t get our asses in gear for sustainable intragalactic life in the next century or so.
- Comment on What are some good games to play while sick? 2 weeks ago:
Derail Valley Simulator is actually quite chill, once you have an idea of how to handle your trains. I have almost $7,000,000 saved up to see how big of a boom I can cause without going into debt, or hurting my engines and caboose.

Otters don’t build dams. That’s beavers. Otters will happily squat in an abandoned beaver dam though. At least until it falls apart from lack of repair.
- Comment on Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons? 2 weeks ago:
There is a law about it.

And if the 1982 SCOTUS had been given the full text of the relevant law, then QI would have never happened. It is expressly illegal according to the full text of Section 1983
