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 have a 150lb great Pyrenees, and I have a bag that just happens to be the perfect size to cut holes in the corners for his legs, and his body fits snuggly inside. A bit like the floof on the right, but when he’s sitting down his head comes up to my stomach. He can stretch out to almost 7.5ft

    I kind of want to try it out, him standing beside me while I hold the bag handles…

    He’s in a bag, it’s what you wanted



  • No, it’s not possible they’re allergic to the base, as they would be allergic to their own body. Your body produces it, and you ingest it in plenty of other foods.

    But hey, I’m glad you’re not a scientist, and I don’t have to hope since you’re confidently making assertions with no knowledge base to pull from, like a shitty person might do.


  • Personal anecdote from cooking for years for a variety of people of varying intelligence, background, and countries:

    Most people claim it gives them headaches and nausea.

    They “know” this because they feel it every time they eat (american) “Chinese food”

    Not a single one has ever had either symptom after eating my cooking that has a little sprinkled in.

    Now, I have tried to prove a point to some by informing them (many hours after the food, and asking about how they feel) that they in fact ingested MSG without issue and had no symptoms, usually to rounds of spontaneous nausea and headaches that had apparently gone unnoticed for hours until just then.

    It could be that ingesting a shit-load of greasy, oily, carbs and over-eating that caused their nausea and headaches when they gorged themselves on “Chinese” food, but no, they know it’s the MSG.







  • It’s just as sexist as telling a woman the most important part about her is her weight, her dress size, and her bust/waist/hip measurements, but you’re supposed to be okay with it because checks notes “a lot of men are also sexist”

    It’s a good policy, “oh you’re being sexist and gross? Kbaiiiiiii” regardless of genders.


  • That would make me less irritated at work.

    Small company owners are too cheap to order replacement wheels, but some chucklefuck speared a tire on my lift with their fork and took a chunk out. So now I get a ka-thunk and spine-jarring jolt every rotation, and I have to be extra careful when my forks are up or I’m turning. “It still works” so no getting a replacement any time soon.

    I mean, I’m sure they’d be too cheap to order spare segments, so it wouldn’t matter either way, but I can dream…



  • The white brick at the bottom is for detecting large objects (cars) and is either controlling a traffic signal, or is being used to count traffic going through that spot.

    An intersection near me uses them to switch the lights at an intersection where traffic almost never comes from, so a timed light is unnecessary, but important traffic still comes from that direction.








  • You can agree that something is disgusting on a fundamental level while still feeling nothing…

    I find the constant suffering of others to be heartbreaking, but I don’t actually go around feeling heartbroken all the time.

    Being desensitized by things I’ve seen on the interwebs over the years has dulled any reaction I might have, but I an still understand, articulate, and sympathize with those feelings.
