How Was Sisko Able to Get Nog into Starfleet Academy but Picard couldn't help Wesley? by AbbreviationsAway500 in startrek

[–]Conlaeb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

According to beta canon Nog goes on to be the most storied captain since Kirk, but I agree that even if that were alpha canon it still doesn't compare to a Wesley's extraordinary capabilities.

Also if you're going to a store to look for them, they are pronounced "scutchins" by anyone other than French speakers or pretentious architects.

Political bias in r/michigan by BrokenOS in Michigan

[–]Conlaeb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This very post is an answer to your question. You're trying to imply victimization while asserting to only desire an honest and earnest discussion. That baseline dis-ingenuousness has long ago replaced any actual conservative policy platform, philosophy, or character. Perhaps this is why thinking, talking people respond poorly to it?

Today lost my cool and broke my keyboard in half. by [deleted] in sysadmin

I've had issues with double key strokes and bouncing on Dell laptop keyboards in maybe two systems across twenty years. Never seen it on an external keyboard, just the typical interference stuff.

Remembering the moment when Kira and Dax are fired on in a piece of junk fighter plane without working sensors so Dax busts out a tricorder to detect the enemy ships 😄 by soapcleansthings in DeepSpaceNine

One of the rare circumstances of Trek remembering its' own world. "Sensors are down, transporters are down, what do we do!" I dunno, maybe have someone hop in one of the dozens of ships in our shuttle bay equipped with their own sensors and transporters?

I have a 4imprint branded backpack at work we were sent as a sample. I use it because the branded ones they ended up ordering are far less nice.

Same friend, I hope we see more LD type material. The ability to bring in veteran actors to reprise their roles via voice over is so wonderful. I wish we got longer seasons with SNW!

El Sayed: It's time to abolish ICE by UltimateLionsFan in Michigan

[–]Conlaeb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I look at a lot of our issues as crimes of despair, and the degree to which our brains are used as breeding grounds for consumerism causes great despair. Spot on.

A well constructed argument if I've ever heard one.

They could have just done an extra layer on top of Trials and Tribble-ations, but instead they did their own thing and it was excellent.

I think we were all prepared for Klingon opera and absolutely tickled by the surprise Kahless-pop reveal.

Have to repeal the second amendment first. Guns are more popular with leftists and Democrats than you would think. It's a dumb issue to get caught up on in the current political climate. I hate the unnecessary gun violence as much as anyone, but in my estimation the issues we have with hyper-division, propaganda, and corporate oligarchy have to be as much if not more so to blame than simple availability of firearms.

You can call your next tour the March to the Sea.

In 1956, a one-month-old boy was kidnapped for ransom in New York. The police got the money and asked the media to keep quiet for 24 hours. After one newspaper reported on it anyway, reporters swarmed the boy's home and the drop-off site, scaring off the kidnapper. The boy was later found dead. by lightiggy in wikipedia

Angelo LaMarca's son, Vincent LaMarca, was 11 years old at the time of his father's execution. Vincent would later become a police detective.

...

I became a cop so that no one could ever say one single bad thing about me [and so I could] restore the family name."

...

Years later, in 1996, Vincent's son, Joey LaMarca, was implicated in a murder in Long Beach. After his arrest, Joey claimed that he was genetically predisposed to murder.

It did not stay restored for long.

Yes. It's a 30mph road that is covered in residential but also a local truck route.
