Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

we got all kind of interesting and creative names for gatherings of different animals, like
a bloat of hippoes
a tower of giraffes
a murder of crows
a dazzle of zebras
a kaleidoscope of butterflies
etc etc...
but what are the words for large gatherings of alien species?

a _____of Klingons
a _____of Andorians
a _____of Trills
a _____of Betazoids
a _____of Vulcans
a _____of Orions
a _____of Changelings
a _____of Xindis
a _____of Cardassians
a _____of Tribbles

a fury of Klingons might be precise?
a chlorophyll of Orions?
idk... is something like this ever established? What do you call a group of Tribbles?

...that's my random thought for today

A rage of Klingons
A verglas of Andorians
A companionate of Trills
An insight of Betazoids
A reasoning of Vulcans
An exploit of Orions
An flow of Changelings
A legion of Xindi
A predation of Cardassians
A flood of Tribbles

For once, I don't have to cook. Hubby is grilling burgers tonight.

It's a well known fact that men love nothing better than an open fire grill, charcoal fluid and meat. Hold my beer. fork and spatula :beer: Bon appetit!

I've often wondered how they come up wih those, is there a specific system they use, or do the just randomly make something up?
 
What changedf?

Order something. You never know when you'll get it. Their supply chain is worse now than during the pandemic. I ordered a shirt, and it says it will be here in a month. I ordered a memory card, and it says it will be here in two weeks. What's the point of fast delivery if they don't keep stuff in stock?

Yeah that kind of sucks, a whole month for one item is a bit much

Are you ordering stuff directly from Amazon or from third parties? We order stuff from Amazon all the time, and most of it usually arrives within a few days.

That's generally third party that Amazon handles the ordering with fulfilment by the third-party. I tried to always filter for Amazon Prime only.

It was sold by Amazon and fulfilled by Amazon. Not third party. This problem started about two months ago, and I live maybe 15 minute from an Amazon fulfillment center. They're mismanaging inventory these days.
 
i think this is true, what a great job description!

There's a whole company that handles the naming of things... maybe you could apply! :D
