  • I don’t hate this show for existing like many.

    As Mariner in Crisis Point 2: it’s a starfleet story so it’s worth telling.

    However, I really feel like they wanted to have the “it’s BEFORE almost everything else” cake and also wanting to eat it by having more advanced tech.

    Then they realized their error, shot into the future, but in my opinion EXTREMELY underestimated technological advancement across NEARLY 1000 YEARS. Everything basically looks the same.

    And then a man child had a temper tantrum and destroyed galactic civilization single-handedly. Sure. Okay. Have fun with the rest of the show, but that’s where I turn in for the night.

    It just really seems like they had a premise for a good show, then someone came in and demanded this and that HAS to be in the show, and instead of rewriting to make it good, they just kind of crammed things in to please the higher ups.

    So far I’ve loved SNW though.





  • I’m a huge trek nerd so this place is basically like A Little Piece of Heaven.

    I’m slowly getting my wife into it, but she’s still learning the basics so it’s great to have a place to read and discuss the finer points.

    Like how much RICK FUCKING BERMAN sucks ass, and how Captain Jellico may be a good starfleet captain but he’s still an asshole and not a great enterprise captain


  • I replaced my work truck headlights with LEDs and parked out in front of several lines of fencing to angle them downward.

    I ended up having to get a different headlight geometry because the reflectors weren’t designed for LEDs and there was too much spillage.

    When I ask people how hard it was to get to the angle adjustment screws and usually get weird looks.

    Honestly I don’t even know if modern cars HAVE adjustable angle headlights. Every old car I’ve owned has though. Not a huge amount of play but enough to angle up or down by about 10-15 degrees if needed.

    My wife’s car is a 94 and low to the ground, even with brights on I don’t have a problem when she drives by me. 10/10 headlights on that thing.


  • Had a recruiter stop by my desk about two years after I enlisted, and tried to pitch the navy to me.

    I started laughing at him, then when he got all offended and mentioned me “working in a dead end job in the middle of nowhere” I shot back with “beats DYING in the middle of nowhere, where nobody above your CO will even bother reading the casualty report let alone care” , and that if the navy REALLY wanted me they should have returned my calls after I got a medical discharge for having emergency surgery in basic, then denying my reenlistment due to having a surgery in my adult life.

    Of course at this point in my life, with the knowledge and ideals, I wouldn’t touch the MIC with a 899.16cm pole.
