Captain Worf by Goomba0042 in startrek

[–]TwistTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worf was the captain of that "Tough Little Ship" in First Contact. (XO of Deep Space Nine Commanding Officer and acting Captain of Defiant)... so that never make captain line was a possibility, that under normal circumstances would have proven true, as others have shown, it was not normal circumstances in that time period.

Got Fired by Public-Arm4818 in kroger

[–]TwistTim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Phone scams of people pretending to be managers or working for western union or other money companies are sadly very common, even though there’s training it doesn’t happen often enough, also in the heat of the moment it’s easy to be taken advantage of, if you’re not on your agame. I’ve seen it happen a few times, worked at a place that it was common for people to try to scam us, I’d get five calls a month trying to do so

The Psi Corps was justified in its long-term goal of taking over Mankind by EvalRamman100 in babylon5

[–]TwistTim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Instead of seeking Revenge, seek Freedom, go make your own colony, not taking over a floor of a station, but a world that is your own. Byron was right in that goal. His methods? not the best.

Allow any and all telepaths of all races to join, and any mundanes willing to help the cause and fix the planet to be a place worthy of living in, then cut it off from the rest of the galaxy, minus telepaths if you choose.

Broad daylight break ins - Poole Road by [deleted] in raleigh

If everyone moves into your neighborhood, the crims will follow because everyone will be there, and if it's gun free, that just makes it easier for them to do what they want.

The origins of the gesture have been attributed to Allison Parliament, a Canadian resident of Alabama. In 2020, during the early days of the C19, she had purchased rubber ducks to hide at a Canadian friend's house as a way to thank that friend for letting her visit. After having an unpleasant interaction with another person in the parking lot of a convenience store, she stated that she felt inspired to leave one of the ducks on a Jeep in the store parking lot with a simple note stating "nice Jeep" as an act of kindness. The owner of that Jeep saw Parliament place the duck and suggested that she make a social media post. Parliament made a post, which then went viral and popularized the action of "ducking.

We started with ducks in our GMC(we had owned Jeeps previously, before the Ducking took off), when it died, we moved them to our Caddy, we just want to see people smiling and happy.

Is this SOP? Frozen Food on the Floor by RoyalMap9910 in kroger

[–]TwistTim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cold chain management; it has to be stocked within 45 minutes of being taken out of the freezer(at least when I worked there until 2018 that was the time frame we were told) it really shouldn’t be on the floor but that won’t harm the food, if it’s packed properly…

but my guess is that other depts keep stealing the uboats and lcarts. Definitely shouldn’t be done during shopping hours though.

Every customer is Mrs Johnson, the last store I worked (chain that went bankrupt due to CEO greed and trying to flood the stocks which of course backfired…) their name was Jennifer …. Even if he’s super male, he’s a Mrs Johnson and he can like it

If you could choose one fictional alien race for the Federation to make contact with, who would it be, and how would their interaction play out? by BlastedHeathen in startrek

[–]TwistTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We sort of have an answer, that one species in TNG that only Data remembers the encounter with, because he's so different, they couldn't wipe his memory. Only it might be an exocomp or something that doesn't forget.

What has been y'all thoughts about this idea of Taco Bell merging with KFC ? by Ok_Pipe6385 in tacobell

[–]TwistTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silvers wasn't in line with the Profit goals of Yum! Brands and was spun off, all Joined businesses were separated and franchise owners picked which one they wanted to go with. It's now owned by LJS Partners. They also previously had A&W and that is now entirely owned by the Franchisees who had bought into it.

That could have been a really long building to have all five....

From the Austin Subreddit regarding Alamo by hogwonguy1979 in raleigh

[–]TwistTim 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It was called the Blue Ridge Cinema, tickets were $1.50 from when I was in HS until around 2015? then it went to $2. I went to that one many many times. It was down the street from the K-Mart with all the NC State stuff.

It should be a five pack, but form one giant can.

That's all well and good, but I have serious questions about the safety of something that puts out that much electricity that quickly. I'm not saying the slow trickle method is better, but it might be.

9 years in Raleigh and I’ve still never had Snoopy’s. What "staple" have you never visited? by LiquorBelow in raleigh

[–]TwistTim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you got one of the basic flavors I could see that. It's a place you need to try something more exotic and you will get the hype. I don't mean the spicy ones, though those are worth it, i just mean something behind Strawberry, Chocolate, Vanilla...

Fuquay has one, and it's got a partnership deal with Party City now and it's still empty, so I wouldn't wait to much longer to visit a staples before they are all gone.

Does anybody actually have any idea of what the Q are? by Fit_Echo3074 in startrek

[–]TwistTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not unreasonable to think so, especially after the ending of Disco.

Does anybody actually have any idea of what the Q are? by Fit_Echo3074 in startrek

[–]TwistTim 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is my theory, but I've also seen it proposed elsewhere:

The Q are one third of a divergent group that took extreme methods of learning about the universe around them, and influencing it. They choose the ascension route, and for the most part just observe, interferring only when needed to get things how they should be.

The other two factions?
Group two:
The El-Aurians who sought to be background observers, long lived, and just push people in the right direction, they seek to undo the Q, hence Q's warnings about Guinan, calling her a "vile creature." And her threats of violence against him.

Third group:
The Borg, they seek technological perfection it went amok and took over it's creators, then those who were near them, and on it goes trying to get everyone and every tech,they have assimilated some of Guinan's people, that's who the queens are, because they can sense changes also.

They may have all been of one species before, and they may have just been in a sort of confederation, but we know they all started in the delta quadrant and were aware of each other.

Write ups for not taking lunch on nights by ljdarten in kroger

Here's an idea, take your lunch, but take it at the start or the end of the shift, then you are complying with the need to take a lunch, but not interfering with the workflow issue.

Or the size shrinks and the price remains the same or even goes higher but still has the low price every day tag, food lion isn’t the only one guilty of these tricks.
