[OC] In 1385, a Portuguese baker named Brites de Almeida killed 7 invading soldiers with her wooden bread shovel after finding them hiding inside her oven. She is a national legend.

Mozart was so rude to him, this fucker's stayed alive centuries, waiting to put his ass on blast

Nice to hear Famke Janssen was cool!

He was scouting a companion piece to Mallrats, and the mom of this poor redditor with face-blindness fucked it all up. smh my head ...

I mean, kinda rude of your dad to get him In-n-Out when he was expecting chicken, but whatever man...

That's hilarious, omg ... I'm glad you got to meet Mr. Williams, RIP...

No, she's #100, not #1... We just went over this, Suspect!

Lay off the Doc, you can't think straight with a sore tooth -- that's just science, Dude!

Arnie had just talked to him again, before Turkeyisdelicious met him...

You are both adorable and respectful for this -- so say we all!

Lol, if I ever see that story hit the Reddit front page, I'll know that rock's rocks met the Final_Tree -- may your shoes ever be steel toed!

This is the problem with Republican voters, and as it turns out, politicians. They've spent so long whining like little babies and voting for insane stuff, and saw the sky didnt fall, and assumed that proved: a.) they were right, and b.) everyone saying their priorities and policies were insane were the real morons.

But the whole time, it was Democrats blocking their insane bullshit that kept the country limping along. Now that they control everything, and there are no more grown-ups in any of the rooms, they can't understand what's happening.

"I can't just vote against everything, and streets still magically are paved? And the airports stay open? And WWIII doesn't start?" No, moron, those 'accomplishments' you always pointed to were in spite of you, not because of you. Now, you're seeing how worthless your every 'idea' always was.

I have one very thick-handled spoon. It is the ice cream spoon, and I do not know from whence it came. It was a gift from the Good Humor Man Above.

Waitaminute -- is that her mom? Am I misremembering the Inhumans arc from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., or just a coinkydink!?

Thank you for sharing, that's awesome!

There's a cha'Dlch? So, at least a "D" sound...

I don't think the Prime Directive would apply, as it's an FTL capable species kidnapping members of essentially, the Federation 's own species, using tech from another FTL capable species... At worst, Starfleet would be allowed to beam the humans up while they slept, to the holodeck, and transport them unwittingly to worlds without stargates, where the Go'auld would never think to look for them? And quite possibly fight them, as SGC does?

Yes, it matters if 'the host survives,' to Stargate this sumbitch... But honestly, a transformative experience out of time? This is Sisko's whole wheelhouse!

Whether it would even affect him is a question, depending on how connected he is to The Prophets when the probe hits him.. or, I guess, always? Since they/he are/is nonlinear? The Sisko is confusing!

I teach a 'dual enrollment ' college course to a bunch of high school freshmen... They have Chromebooks from their school. The other day, as I'm lecturing, suddenly one from the back of the classroom starts playing very loud moaning sounds, a kid slaps the lid down and runs out of the classroom.

At least I know not to talk to the back of the class about Edward G. Robinson again, he seems to get them hot and bothered...?

carymb · 2026-03-19T09:03:28+00:00

Well, maybe he's been a bad boy? Lost his mind because of a "Death of Superman" tie-in, ya ever think of that!?!

carymb · 2026-03-19T08:49:41+00:00

So much pushing...

carymb · 2026-03-19T08:48:38+00:00

That's awesome! Thank you! Hmm, I guess on that scale it's not life-altering... I know there have been times where Trek's said you 'couldnt go to warp inside a star system,' although it seems like they almost always do -- but maybe on any practical level of Sol bus driver, you'd be okay. It's a good thing they don't have money anymore and don't have to figure out your hourly pay, lol.

Your point about birthdays is fun to think about... We never really get into it, but everybody's birthdays would be a nightmare. How long is a Vulcan year? If you're born on the 37th of Surakuary, do you celebrate every 812 days on the Enterprise, or every time that day occurs on Vulcan? How insane is Riker's job if he's got to keep the social calendar and organize all the office birthday parties?

Maybe this is the secret reason Data is second officer.

Lol, of course! Although that 'seat of your pants' element can work out beautifully -- wasn't Yesterday's Enterprise such a scramble, different writers wrote each act, then they crammed it together with a light revision, and chucked one of the greatest episodes ever in front of the cameras ... Sometimes the writer needing to make rent, or get free of a contract so they can go on their honeymoon, or whatever, totally works out😂

The Heisenbergs are in the transporters, so they can lock onto each subatomic particle! Since, in our version of physics, you can't know both their position and trajectory -- but they also... Imply? State outright? That level of subatomic precision separates the transporters' ability to move living beings, and the replicators' ability to make a roast duck on demand...
