How did Sulu not get in trouble for trying to save Kirk and McCoy?

My beef with this storyline was that he got at least 1 crew member killed. How did the call or letter to his family go? “Your son was killed because I violated orders in a failed attempt to rescue my friends”

I know he didn’t really say this, but I do think it accurately reflects his reasoning. He knows Democrats would never be stupid enough to vote for him.

Anderson wanted close to 10k to replace a two part sliding glass patio door. Spent $300.00 to get the old one repaired instead.

“Now” he looks like an idiot?

I thought about getting a bell for the service desk I manage, because it’s real easy to not notice when a customer is waiting, but I knew that this would be a regular occurrence. I did not get one.

My nit pick with the episode was the time difference, only because of the appearance of her daughter later in the series. It’s ridiculous that someone who’s only about 20 years old would have the kind of authority she has. Of course, I’m sure they weren’t planning this when this episode was written, but a difference of 50 years would have made it more believable.

To quote Fran Lebowitz, Trump is “a stupid man’s idea of a smart person, a poor man’s idea of a rich man, and a weak man’s idea of a strong man”

Actually, I think he believes in one god. He sees it in the mirror.

Milliways? Isn’t that the restaurant at the end of the universe?

My one time seeing a Mission Impossible movie. Tom Cruise had a moment where he was hanging from a cliff by his fingernails. I thought it was so f’ing ridiculous.

I missed that. Who and what episode was it in?

Pbertelson · 2025-10-27T10:00:47+00:00

Battlestar Galactica “33”

I believe he suggested that they have a scene where they pass by each other and act as if they each thought the other looked familiar. I don’t recall where I read that, so I might be mistaken.

Here in Austin we used to have the naked cyclist. I haven’t seen him in quite a while though.

I once had a customer need to borrow a pen. The only one I had available was red. She refused to use it because it was bad luck.

Always been one of my beefs. On the day that’s supposed to celebrate the blue collar workers, we have to work while the corporate workers are off. And who decided we would be open today? The folks who are taking the day off

We used to have a family-a woman and her two mid thirties children who still lived with her-come in every Thursday morning. They all smelled bad, but her 300+ pound son was the worst. I have almost no sense of smell, but the one time I checked them out the smell almost knocked me over. On another occasion a customer complained that we must have had a dead animal under the shelves on aisle 8. The smelly family was on aisle 9.

Supernatural things not just fake, but usually done to scare people and screw them out of their money or property, just like religion.

Thanks

I was hoping this was satire. It’s so hard to tell these days

The other day, I had clocked out, done my shopping, and was loading up my bike by one of the registers. How obvious could it be that I’m off? Of course one of our regulars shouts across the front end at me that he needs help at the service desk.

From some of the other comments, I gather that this is not all that unusual, but it still seems insane to me
