    Your annual vacation/holidays

    Lotsa accumulated vacation time saved up. Feeling cute, might track down and slay all my enemies later idk.

    Should we fear and resent robots?

    I'm getting in ahead of the curve.

    Were Bezos and Musk killed by The Borg?

    "Why waste money in space when there are so many problems on earth?" - everyone who actually has the mindset you describe above. (Plus a healthy amount of "If we go to [Insert barren space location here], we'll just mess up its -lifeless waterless airless- ecosystem!") Those aren't the droids...

    Recommendation on Trek RPGs

    My RPG style has always been 50% FASA*, 50% PIDOOMA** *My players seemed to find percentage chances easier to understand than other dice-rolling schemes - and so did I **Pulled It Directly Out Of My Ass. By that I mean the story was paramount (PUN!), so if I had to fudge dice rolls or make a...

    NASA will be heading back to Venus

    To make Earth like Venus at this distance from the sun, we would need the air to contain roughly 30,000 PPM of CO2. Right now we are at 417 PPM, or a bit over 120 PPM above where we 'should' be. I'm not sure we could get to 30,000 even if we burned every speck of carbon on earth, even what's...

    Oh! The Karemma and Excelsior Prototype III are in the shop! Ordered! Now I’m only missing the Melb!

    What if Earth is the only place with life?

    This line of thought, if adhered to wholeheartedly, leads to a single inevitable conclusion. But for some reason you seem not to have reached it. Odd.

    I need all these upcoming ships to go up on the shop preorder page so I can save on shipping, dammit. Edit: whoa, the US store has STO binders!

    Post Your Dreams Thread

    Does anybody else's brain do that thing in dreams where it creates entire backstories for the strangers that appear in it? The other night I had a dream involving a neighbor who, in the dream, I had known since we moved in, 16 years ago, when she was 8. she'd grown up playing around our house...

    Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

    Huh. When Eaglemoss sent me three different emails back-to-back, I assumed they would all be sent in one efficient package. Nope. Shran yesterday, Sirena should show up today and... the USPS has no idea where Zheng He is.

    Things that frustrate us all

    Kind of like "If it goes wrong we stop responding to your emails so we can tell our bosses that we haven't heard any complaints." I've even had vendors emailing me and saying "hey I got your email with the invite, but I already submitted my request to join up a week ago, I don't know what the...

    Post Your Dreams Thread

    I had a weird dream - l wasn't in it, but I was watching like a TV show - about an Asian man who is in trouble with a gang, owes them money or something, so he hides in a school and somehow gets roped into being a soccer coach to a team of losers. At first, he gives no fucks about the team or...

    Least favorite type of episode

    So, you know the names and career tracks of all the family members of all your coworkers? Would you consider it a life-breaking retcon if you met one you didn't know about already?

    Just got emails from Eaglemoss that La Sirena, Zheng He, AND the STO Shran have shipped.

    It's an excuse not to restock.

    Things that frustrate us all

    State University system: Hey, to be more efficient and less expensive, we're going to have a new procurement system where all the companies we do business with will have their catalogs put on one website, and you can go there to order instead of using an 80's-era program you're using now...

    Pre-ordered the Online Khitomer and Relay Station 47 (because the wife thought it was “cute”) on the US site. Feel like pestering Customer Service about La Sirena.

    Things that frustrate us all

    I know I’m old now. I hate the neighbor kids. College-age daughter of my next door neighbor is turning their place into a party house. This is why I am awake at 3 AM. Because the sound from their basement stereo travels through the ground and up my wall into my bedroom. Can’t hear it...
