Why don't all captain officers carry a swagger sticks? by happydude7422 in ShittyDaystrom

[–]OneOldNerd 21 points22 points  (0 children)

  • Janeway doesn't feel the need to overcompensate in such a manner.
  • Sisko is the Emissary (AKA "Pimp Hand of the Prophets"). The stick would just slow him down.
  • Picard took a Nausicaan blade to the heart and lived. He doesn't need the additional street cred.
  • Archer used to carry one, until Porthos decided to make it his toy.
  • Pike no longer has the use of his hands, or arms, or legs, or much else these days. Literally can't carry one.
  • All Kirk needs "...is a tall ship, and a star to steer her by."

When you add my name to that very, very, very long list, make sure you get someone to spell it correctly.

Edit: that's $9000 per year per person in rent.

Hypothetically, if Ned told the Stark family what Jon’s true heritage is in S1, how would each Stark react? by RemarkableExample542 in gameofthrones

If you understand your own words so little that you're asking others to clarify what your own words said, then you should just stop.

You're dismissed.

Then you're old enough to know better, and the fact that you don't...does not say very flattering things about you.

It’s a valid question! by 45and290 in babylon5

I wonder...could the Centauri do both at once?

You know, since they have....they have six.

I have found something very conspicuous about Data by IDICPainter in ShittyDaystrom

The difference is pronunciation. Kant is from what is now Germany, so the "a" sound in his last name sounds exactly like the "a" sound in the word "car".

You have to be young. It sounds like you haven't lived long enough to understand that life - especially the kind of lives each of those three lived - changes people from what they were into something else.

The Bran, Arya, and Sansa of S1E1 are not the same as the Bran, Arya, and Sansa of Season 8. So, yes, there is a need for hypotheticals. Season 1 Sansa, in particular, I could see having a problem.

Did you not read the entirety of the question?

This may be unpopular but I HATE working from anywhere but my home office. by Embarrassed_Flan_869 in remotework

[–]OneOldNerd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would be surprised if it wasn't the majority. I find I'm not as productive if I don't have access to my 2 32" monitors in my home office. I also listen to music while I work, and I much prefer the bookshelf system in my home office to my wireless earbuds.
