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 tested this with my Facebook app in 2013. Found a Spanish radio station, set my phone down next to it overnight, and for several weeks I was seeing ads exclusively in Spanish. Deleted the app the first day I saw them in Spanish, and deleted my account not long after that.

    My wife still uses them after 5 years together and me pointing out all the times it’s obviously eavesdropping on us, and she’s even been creeped out by it before. Still uses it…

    Unless my microphone and camera have physical switches, I will assume they are being used. Those little “your camera and microphone are off” icons in the corner of the screen don’t reassure me.







  • As someone without allergies that has been around for too many peanut-related reactions, I absolutely hate that this article exists.

    Too many times I have heard people be dismissive of a person’s severe peanut allergy, to the point of thinking it’s funny to bring a peanut butter sandwich to work and wave it in someone’s face, and then get defensive when it triggered a skin rash from proximity alone.

    I’ve seen people put peanut butter on an allergic person’s car door handle.

    I’ve seen people put peanuts in someone’s food “because they have to be faking it”

    The reason I hate this article is because it will encourage too many people who “have done their own research” to put peanuts in things “to help build up a tolerance”

    Someone is going to die from that “studies suggest”.

    And I really am tired of hearing “you’re overreacting, that’s not going to happen” given the current state of the world.

    Is it considered normal to type out a normal question format when using search engines?

    If I were looking for an answer instead of making a funny meme, I’d search “heat movie cast Angelina Jolie” if I didn’t feel like putting any effort in.

    Then again, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’ve seen someone use their phone to search google “what is 87÷167?” instead of doing “87/167” or like… Opening the calculator…

    People do things in different, sometimes weird ways.





  • Ah. Well that’s a relief, I removed foxit, and never had anything Adobe.

    I open the pdfs in inkscape to pull the vector files and save them as an svg. There’s probably a simpler way, but this allows me to open the vector in a lot more programs like my laser software and my CAD programs.

    The only pdfs that get printed like a normal person are small rc planes and the files are from trusted sources.

    It’s nice to know I can do a little extra to protect myself from pdf based attacks though, thanks for the info!
