The transporter chief would be the only one who could have told Riker for certain otherwise, and well… The chief on duty was certainly no friend to billionaires.

You’d think, but she was paranoid that the tiniest mote of dust would cause the computer to break.

Someone who wants to make super sure that no dust gets into the discs, as even a single mote of dust in the drive will set off a chain reaction that destroys every universe simultaneously.

At least, according to my mother. She always insisted that floppy discs be stored like this since dust could settle in the tab if left the other way.

I miss BosnianBill, it always felt like my grandpa was sharing his hobby with me.

LPL and BB got me into picking locks, and so far it’s saved a couple of massive personal headaches and one extremely expensive piece of industrial equipment (for which I recieved absolutely no recognition in saving the company about $450,000-550,000 in broken equipment)

It’s also a fun quick thing to teach people and I have a spare set with me and an acrylic demonstration lock to show newbies.

I had fun at a park in south-western ohio once when I started picking all the padlocks couples were leaving on a bridge. I left about a dozen of them sitting on top of the railing.

Fun times, cheap hobby.

Q was right about this time line, not the Prime Timeline.

Sounds like my wife’s mother.

She’s a super narcissist and has some sort of desire to knock everyone else down when she feels like she’s not getting enough attention.

You deserved better from your parents.

MALP tumbles off into space

“Well, there goes another MALP…”

I always wondered if the Atlantis team went to recover the MALPs when they exited a space gate. I mean, it can’t get TOO far, given how slow it moves, but space is big and empty and by the time a mission gets approved it could be many miles away in a big empty void.

Super SG-1 nerd here, they often speak of the “marines” that get sent in to scout places first.

That said, the “front-line team”, as they are called here and there, gets priority on a lot of the big missions.

Besides, you really think sg-12 is capable of tackling a galaxy-ending scenario every 6-12 months? They can barely sort their crayons at chow time.

they’d have a team of petty officers led by a Lieutenant for that.

Hey now, there would be at least one Ensign.

What, you don’t think an LT would lower himself to speaking to enlisted personnel, do you? That’s lower decks stuff.

Why do you not respect boundaries?

The boundary being “keep your religious stuff away from me”

They said “stupid”, not “evil”

Although I’d argue that any billionaire not actively dumping the bulk of their wealth and influence to sort out world hunger, homelessness, and inequality is being evil.

You can be crummy Alpha Quadrant

We’ll be Quadrant 1.

This looks more like someone did it on purpose.

They’re all shifted down by one

$250 non refundable application deposit?

LMAO I’d sooner torch the rental property than pay just to APPLY to hopefully live there.

My wife and I were looking at realtors and one told us we would need to provide our credit card info to look at properties, and I just laughed and said “go fuck yourself” and hung up.

The only valid response, IMO.

The fact that people actually pay this shit is infuriating.

regular hours.

Apologies, but as someone who has never worked in an office, “regular hours” is a meaningless phrase.

Lol nvidia CEO couldn’t do my job for an hour.

I am absolutely confident that I could do his job for an hour.

The empty chair in his office does his job just as easily, too.

You can tell me all about the meetings and deals they have to worry about but ultimately, by the time a company gets that large, it could run itself without a c-suite for quite some time.

Yeah, but so are 40%, by their own admission.

The majority of people I’ve brought this up with believe MKULTRA is just a Conspiracy theory and never happened, or have never even heard of it.

Like… This is stuff they are ADMITTING TO.

OK, boomer
