- Comment on Factory Entertainment Announces New Strange New Worls communicator, Captain Proton ray guns and Star Trek IV Klingon Phaser Prop Replicas 1 week ago:
That’s nice. Paramount ain’t getting a dime more of my money if I can help it.
- Comment on Every Kitchen needs one (or two just to be safe) 1 week ago:
It’s expensive to be a Trekie. At least the spoon rest could double as “Hand” for Halloween.
- Comment on Evidence of Fraud in an Influential Study About Procrastination 2 weeks ago:
It honestly blows my mind that nobody noticed such blatant anomalies until now. Apparently the “study” authors weren’t the only ones looking to achieve a predetermined outcome. Bias confirmation is as helluva drug.
- Comment on You get a Pope! And you get a Pope! 3 weeks ago:
I vote for Will Pope in The Closer - I mean, he’s played by JK Simmons so he’d have to be a good one, right?
- Comment on In April 2029, a Massive Asteroid Will Just Miss Earth. Scientists Are Worried There Could Still Be Major Consequences 1 month ago:
Last day it the month, and the aftereffects will be felt on Mayday.
- Comment on Airbus completes record 24-hour flight with plane to be used by Qantas 1 month ago:
Yeah, kinda figured that, but the writer of the article… not so much, apparently.
- Comment on Airbus completes record 24-hour flight with plane to be used by Qantas 1 month ago:
Actually found good detail on Ars.
- Comment on Self-hosted fully working ST:TNG voice computer interface 1 month ago:
I’d be tempted to have it switch voices for different purposes. Robert Picardo’s EMH for medicinal queries, Kate Mulgrew for “what should I do” queries, alternate between James Doohan & LeVar Burton for technical stuff, etc. Might throw in some Lower Decks characters for fun, too.
- Comment on Airbus completes record 24-hour flight with plane to be used by Qantas 1 month ago:
I’m assuming that — much like truck drivers — there are legal limitations on how long a pilot can be on duty at the controls without sleep, which is why I was asking. As such I’m surprised there were only two pilots as I was under the impression there should always be two on duty at all times, and I’d have thought there would be at least one other pair swapping out during such a long flight. I admit I know virtually nothing about aviation regulations, but surely I’m not that far off in my expectations, am I?
- Comment on Airbus completes record 24-hour flight with plane to be used by Qantas 1 month ago:
How many flight crews were there?

The ULR in its designation stands for “ultra long distance”,
Errmmm… R=D?

- Comment on Tesseract Ban Award Medallion 1 month ago:
I’d make it my profile icon if I were in there under this name, but it was my prior account which I lost when my instance recently closed down. So if I do it on this account, I’ll probably have to deal with “stolen valor” accusations.
*sigh* I was this close to greatness…
- Comment on It's a good poem, a bit long. 2 months ago:
Those latter years will be discussed later.
- Comment on What a time in history... 2 months ago:
The flute was probably modeled after male anatomy. After all, they are played in a similar fashion.
- Comment on Trump’s popularity worsens with Iran ceasefire falling apart 2 months ago:
Meant if them are selfish assholes hoping to screw the rest of us over further. They’ve apparently never understood the moral of the “…there was nobody left to speak for me” bit.
- Comment on Archaeologists in France Dig Up a Jar Packed With Tens of Thousands of 1,800-Year-Old Roman Coins 2 months ago:
How effing big was that jar to hold so many coins?
- Comment on Valve open source the Steam Machine e-ink screen so you can make your own 2 months ago:
May as well open it - I doubt the SM will be doing massive sales at current prices, so even fewer would have sprung for this add-on. Opening it up is at least good PR/marketing.
- Comment on Xbox claim they're "not reducing [their] investment in games" despite looming cuts, as report claims under 2.5% of Microsoft's total workforce are in the firing line 2 months ago:
Maybe that’s all there are for this round…
- Comment on Revolting! 2 months ago:
Such enlightened attitudes among the populace at large requires a strong educational system to instill such thinking, which is probably part of the reason educational system funding has long been a target for the power-hungry.
- Comment on Revolting! 2 months ago:
On that last bit, I’m not seeing much difference. It’s not like if the repressed won that they’d all just suddenly let bygones be bygones & let those currently at the top just live out their lives peacefully (as if those types of people even could.)
The more things change, the more they stay the same, & all that.

So we’re doomed, and Bezos & Musk will have a childish spat over our dead bodies. Thanks for the crystal ball reading.

45 Executions? Sounds like the Army not only didn’t care, but was complicit.
