SARGE

Literally doing so right now.

Sorry I failed my solidarity test, Luigi.

"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.

My mother in law is absolutely convinced that democrats are going to go marching around with guns to drag her and her family out into the street to be executed.

If she realized there was still space to the left of "Democrat" on the politician field she'd have an aneurism.

Waaaaaay ahead of you.

I've been screaming for them to stop for years.

Corvids evolved beyond the need for physical form.

All that remains are echoes.

un-miles-obrien, basically a cheeky way of saying unjerk my role play... Yeah not very clever mind you, but I work on transporters not words.

The higher the amount of energy you require from the dilithium, the quicker it fractures. In newer starships they recrystallize whioe still in use, but in older federation ships like when Those Old Scientists were roaming the stars, it was a real danger that you'd break the only dilithium crystals on the ship and be more or less stranded if you pushed them too hard.

Of course you still have to deal with warp core stress and heat dispersion on newer ships.

So when a sovereign class goes to warp 6, that's more or less cruising speed. When she goes to warp 9.975, she needs to haul ass to get somewhere right the fuck now

Especially with subspace damage at higher warps with less streamlined ships/warp bubbles, starfleet limited travel in general to warp 6 and some areas the speed limit is warp 3.

/uMO So in other words.... Whatever the plot currently demands, that's what they go with. It's just a show of "we need to be there quickly" or "we have some time to kill" more or less.

Should hold the same penalties as a poor person's fraud.

I actually can't sleep well when I've vaped or eaten too much.

Your Mileage May Vary

It's insane to me how many people just grab their phone and think "I'm good to go on an all day woodland adventure!" with no water, no food, clothing for an afternoon at the mall, and not even a backup battery for their phone.

I've actually packed extra clothes for someonein my bag specifically because I knew they were going to regret shorts and half a t-shirt. Cue 2 hours later they're complaining about being cold when we're in the valleys...

"no you don't understand! People need to suffer because muh big gubment!"

-you

That's less of a ship and more of a "it's stated in the story itself"

I mean, personally I don't love any of my bros like I would my wife.... That's just me, but you do you.
