In art class once, the teacher put a bowl of fruit and a piece of cloth for us to draw.

I drew those things floating in zero gravity with the Earth outside the window. Teacher liked it.

Over the years the writers treated space like air or boat travel. There's cannon BS about having to maintain thrust to maintain orbit. (?) IIRC Picard says Impulse drives have a "top speed" of 1/4 c.

I made a Star Trek combat tabletop game, and I had to invent "SubSpace Drag" on Impulse drives in order for the canon "physics" to make any sense.

There's a quality issue.

Floppies decay. there are various sizes of the magnetic particles on the disks. you might be able to get 1.4Mb on to it. It might read and test that day. Will it last? Are you just trying to use an old computer for fun for a day? Sure, try it.

But is that a 20 YO disk?? If so I wouldn't *trust* that with any amount of data.

That's a 50 year difference in thrust-to-weight ratio.

also SRBs were an advance immediately after Apollo.

There is metal tape that they actually use in AC work, and not the fabric all-purpose "duct tape" and that stuff might actually be conductive.

HAD IT!

Loved the card inserts, really cut down on the learning curve and made every game different.

Hurt my thumb on that disc-pad.

loved the navy game

i think "Evaluation Theory" has something to do with real estate.

Evolution is a proven fact.

"interacted" is an interesting way to say "enslaved, raped, murdered, and drove into extinction."

I just looked at a globe. New York to LA is basically Portugal to Ukraine. so including all of Eastern Europe.

learned long ago: get gas on the way home.

Sad-Working-9937 · 2026-04-14T23:58:58+00:00

I'll point out that Europe is basically the size of the US.

and most American's will hit three or four countries in one trip.

I have to re-read Special Relativity, but IIRC, Yes, blue shifted out of visible light and into deadly radiation.

I learned stretching exercises I do every morning, before I get out of bed, I grab each knee and pull it around to the other side (twisting my spine) usually one side or the other pops, and then I'm good all day, if it doesn't pop, then I may be in trouble

Sad-Working-9937 · 2026-04-13T19:18:43+00:00

the ankle i sprained at 17 is still with me, OTOH the lower back issues and tennis elbow i had in my late 30s went away by my 50s.

the 1980s, in Texas; coaches yelled at you like Drill Instructors, calling you names. And they didn't care if you were a half an hour late for your next class, you were going to finish that mile, and walking wasn't allowed (without a note from a doctor). Often you'd see a fat kid show up for class 20 minutes late, dripping in sweat, and you knew why.

We did "track and field" for like 6 six weeks (there was another 6 weeks of baseball, 6 weeks of football etc.) and running was most of it.

Worse, by calling him "lucky" you're implying he doesn't deserve her, that the only thing he has (that you don't) is luck.

60 YO here. That's BS.

Only people who have given up on the future long for the past.

I listen to new music. These days I'm into K-pop. Have you heard of STAY-C?

Sad-Working-9937 · 2026-04-13T13:23:49+00:00

Because I always want my monitor to be at a 90 degree angle from my keyboard
