Happy Thanksgiving. Good luck, and please be safe (physically, emotionally). LLAP
  • Even this day and age, I’m sure at least one drunk uncle will also quote Dukat at the Gratitude Festival table

  • Such thing as a BIFL floor pump?
  • I like park tool products. They always last for me. I've never bought their floor pump because i just have a cheap no-name one that won't die but I definitely want one for my next floor pump.

    Topeak is another good brand that I like but again I don't have a floor pump of theirs just a frame pump. I've read a bunch of rave reviews for their floor pump and the guys at GMBN swear by them.

  • [R] Average "bike lane" experience in Los Angeles
  • As a cyclist I would lose my fucking mind.

  • We go live to our local Federation News Correspondent Les Nessman at the scene:

  • They're already bad enough
  • I never don’t love Carol Kane.

  • They're already bad enough
  • Imagine how many economic systems she's existed under. Not surprising she would think it's a fad.

  • Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream!
  • Try some chocolate sprinkles on it. My favorite ice cream is pumpkin pie and I always add some sprinkles.

  • Get a roadmap to learn things like specific languages or how to become a certain role in software development
  • Learn a language is easy. Move to a foreign country and stop talking in your native tongue. Eventually* you’ll speak the language.

    *teft is not responsible for abnormally large amounts of “eventually”

  • TOS is willing to be remade/rethought. TNG is not. How come?
  • Also young JL from Tapestry:

  • Bonus scowls for fantasy leagues, or sports betting
  • Five spits for a blood enemy.

  • Bonus scowls for fantasy leagues, or sports betting
  • Are we still allowed to talk about anbo jitsu and parreses squares?

  • Trump’s imminent return has ‘demoralized’ DOJ, former federal prosecutor says
  • Well maybe they should get rid of that memo that says they can't prosecute sitting presidents. That'd be a start at least.

  • Loose iPhone 15 series USB-C port?
  • I would suggest a toothpick next time. If you short out the right pins with a needle you can damage your phone.

  • Dutch police find 2kg gnome made of MDMA during drug bust
  • I know that one letter is silent. So it’s pronounced gome.

  • Elon Musk hides X engagement figures amid user exodus
  • He’s not the richest in history. Modern history, sure if you count excluding inflation. But when people like Mansa Musa existed Musk has quite a ways to go. Hell even Carnegie’s wealth eclipsed Musk if you’re talking purchasing power.

  • Lebowski.Social is upgraded to 0.19.7
  • Obviously you're not a golfer.

  • Lebowski.Social is upgraded to 0.19.7
  • Now this story I'm about to unfold took place back in the early twenties-- just about the time of our conflict with reddit and the threads. I only mention it 'cause sometimes there's a man-- I won't say a hero, 'cause what's a hero?--but sometimes there's a man ... and I'm talkin' about /u/urda here-- sometimes there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place, he fits right in there-- and that's urda, in Lebowski.social... and even if he's a lazy man, and urda was certainly that--quite possibly the laziest in the Fediverse...which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide--but sometimes there's a man...sometimes there's a man.

  • What are some silly character suboptimal builds?

    For my next run I’m trying something less optimal for a challenge. My Tav will be a 8sorcerer/2cleric/2warlock from Thay.

    Mostly he’ll use eldritch blast and call on his god.

    I call it the Spray and Pray from Thay.

    Anyone else have any silly build ideas to go with my Tav?

    I heard we're doing Mot-ivational posts today

    Description: A meme with Mot from The Next Generation cutting Captain Picard's hair. Below the text reads: Make it so. There is no challenge too great for those who have the will and haircut to make it so.

    At least Michael Bolton wasn't associated with a genocidal maniac.

    Seamus constantly missed his 20th century Office job.

    The Delta Quadrant is the Bad Place.

    Description: A meme with the caption "Okay so that was trolley problem version number 7. Janeway opted to run over five Tuvixes instead of one EMH." Below is a picture of the inside of a trolley with Janeway smiling and covered in gore. Michael and Eleanor from The Good Place are on either side of her. Michael is taking notes and Eleanor is amazed.

    I always wondered if Lt JG Picard got to glimpse the Captain's life in the same way that the Captain glimpsed his. Poor guy got reverse Christmas Caroled.

    Little known fact. The Almighty Judge on High of All Beings Living and Dead for All Eternity, Shawn from the Good Place is actually a Founder.

    What boss are you currently stuck on?

    Leadership is not about titles, positions or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.

    Description: The meme is 3 different pictures in series. The first titled "The Picard Maneuver" shows the USS Stargazer performing the Picard maneuver. The second titled "The Riker Maneuver" shows the Enterprise E releasing metreon gas to perform the Riker maneuver. The third title "The Janeway Maneuver" shows Tuvix being separated into Tuvok and Neelix via transporter beam.

    www.propublica.org Ginni Thomas Privately Praised Group Working Against Supreme Court Reform: “Thank You So, So, So Much”

    In a call with donors, First Liberty Institute’s Kelly Shackelford read the supportive email he said came from Thomas. The leader of the religious-rights group also labeled Justice Elena Kagan “treasonous” for backing a stronger ethics code.

    There are three ways to do something in Starfleet. The right way, the wrong way, and the Janeway.

    Description: Meme with the title "The Janeway" The first panel has Ensign Tahani Al-Trill handing Janeway a PADD saying "Admiral Janeway, you won't believe what I found in the vulcan database!" The second panel has Janeway looking at a PADD. The third panel shows an information block with Janeway's personal info. Her three hyper evolved children with Tom Paris are highlighted. The fourth panel has Janeway stating "Glass those pointy eared bastards" The final panel is a shot of the planet Vulcan being destroyed.

    Let's have a moment of silence for those who may soon be meeting the Great Koala.

    By the 2020s, the American government – reacting to serious problems of homelessness and unemployment – created special Sanctuary Districts in most major cities.

    The Bell Riots start on Sunday. Stay safe out there!

    <Anyone coming from /c/all please note this is a joke post for an in universe Star Trek event. Remain Calm.>

    Everything in the world is easier said than done. Unless you have a speech impediment...

    Description: Meme with the heading Star Trek Jellico. 4 frames below with the first being an exterior shot of the Enterprise D. In frames 2-4 Jellico and Riker are inside the hallways of the Enterprise and and Jellico states to Riker "Will, I want to teach you a lesson my grandfather taught me when I was your age." The next frame Jellico says "When someone with a lisp says bismuth, you know they mean business.". Jellico then walks away with a grin.
