Look up “Certifiably Ingame” on whatever front-end of youtube you use, and check out his Playlist on starships. He goes into detail about various classes and specific named ships, and for the classes will bring up their naming conventions and uses and whatnot.

Side note: I don’t understand the idea that an animated comedy show is somehow “less Canon” than a live action drama show.

Why?

LD is just as Canon as discovery. Honestly discovery, in my opinion, is entirely implausible because the runners were adamant that it be set before TOS, but the tech and shipsizes is definitely post DS9. Possibly even golden age of exploration huge.

But for some reason lower Decks is “not Canon” to some people…

I would argue you can absolutely disprove it, empirically. By demonstrating. Just do the thing and go “wow it didn’t take forever!”

They’re “going fishing” trying to find probable cause to get you out of the vehicle and allowed to search you and it.

If you say you’re going to / from the bar? Well obviously you’ve been drinking, please step out of the vehicle.

I don’t always say “officer you don’t need that information” I just say something like “home/library” since it provokes the least amount of questions.

I don’t give them my license, I only need to show it to them. They can copy down the relevant information needed to verify it’s legitimacy the same way they do when they take it.

I don’t need to roll down my window, I only need to communicate with them. They can speak up and I am more than capable of yelling so they don’t misunderstand anything. An open window is not needed unless someone plans on reaching through it, which neither of us need to do.

I don’t need to give them my insurance card, they only need to know it’s current and for this vehicle. Again they can copy down relevant information and call the insurance company later, which they weren’t going to do anyway.

I don’t need to tell them where I was, or where I was going, as it’s none of their business and not relevant to the stop, which was likely for failing to signal properly, or speeding due to a missed sign.

There’s plenty you dont HAVE to tell them, give them, or show them, but if you’re going to do any of the above, know your state and local laws regarding these, and don’t be intentionally rude, since they’re already going to be pissy.

Also note: it’s much easier to get through this sort of interaction if you’re white. We all know cops are racist shitbags just looking for an excuse.

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, just someone who is tired of being targeted in the areas around Columbus Ohio that are known for pulling people over for the slightest of infractions in order to go fishing for a reason to arrest someone.

She tries to go around or leap over them, or runs across them like they’re a platform in a video game that will fall if you stand on them too long.

Likely she is ripping out paw pad hairs as the slats shift around and pinch together, and there is the possibility of getting claws stuck as well.

That’s why my largest dog doesn’t like them.

Nah, continue to belt out incorrect lyrics, possibly even singing “I don’t know the words” in the process.

It’s more likely to get a chuckle “with” you, rather than a giggle “at” you, IMO because everyone can relate.

Even people who do professional performances and sing all the time can swap verses, or even straight up word substitute with songs they don’t practice all the time.

Well yeah, their entire lives have been spent sucking oil dick, their entire foundation of their wealth is tied up in oil, and even though they’re rich enough to pivot entirely and never feel a difference in their lives, they’re stuck in the sunk cost mentality.

It’s too risky to invest in a brand new industry that’s on shaky legs. Never mind that it stopped being a “new” industry decades ago and has proven it will do quite well, and is thriving. They stopped paying attention to real life many many decades ago. As far as they are concerned, they didn’t have to do any sort of personal growth, so they are woefully out of touch with reality.

Oil is what was there when they (or their parents they inherited wealth from) were kids, so obviously they have to dig their heels in to keep oil from flopping. Anything else is secondary.

Mkultra is STILL treated like some nut job conspiracy theory.

I bring it up as example of how the government will do whatever to whoever and lie for decades, fuck the consequences.

People look at me like I’m crazy, and plenty have even straight up told me mk ulta isn’t real, is just a conspiracy, just an excuse for hippies who did too many drugs, any number of “that didn’t happen” excuses. Including “if it actually happened, we would know”. To which I responded “THEY FUCKING ADMITTED IT” and that was the end of the conversation because I cursed and therefore lost an “argument” I didn’t know I was in…

Ohio is crazy…

Honestly I wouldn’t even bother saying it’s an annotated Bible, as long as it’s pulling from a translation of the Bible that a church would use, it’s the same Bible.

I love when someone tries calling me out on not using “the right” translation, because depending on how the conversation has gone up to then, I will either pull out a king James edition, or start listing any of the dozens upon dozens of English translations available, asking if this one or that one was valid enough, until I’ve made my point.

My Bible when I first read all the way through was a new living translation children’s adventure Bible. It had a few illustrations in the family-friendly well-covered areas, mostly new testament. I thought it was pretty fucked up in some parts already, and they did kind of change the phrasing and language to be less obvious to children what is being said.

The one I usually use for reference now is a new international version with no annotations or additional context that was gifted to me when I graduated highschool.

The road rash as in “the road now looks red like it has a rash”?

Those speeds aren’t Road rash, they’re meat crayon territory.

And I don’t know if there would be much meat left by the time the crayon stopped.

So a court has told another court to stop looking into court cases (and the people not following court orders) and let people not follow court orders.

So court orders are meaningless.

The Bible I read definitely had something to say about nobody except god knowing when jesus was supposed to come back.

Certainly never said you could summon God with a blood sacrifice.

Then again, most Christians have never read the Bible. If they had, they would probably be like me and no longer believe.

It allows rainwater to be absorbed rather than running off causing flooding.

There’s an old theater I performed at twice in Southern Ohio. Built before the Civil War, and surrounded by brick buildings, a brick street out front, brick alley, and brick parking lot area.

The second time I was there, the street had been paved, as had the back parking area, and large portion of surrounding alleys. Only the single side alley was still brick.

The first time it rained the week I was there, the basement, while not flooded completely, had so much water running through it to the sunken boiler room, the owners had to toss down some quick 2x4 walkways so nobody was ruining costumes and footwear or slipping and suing. The walls of the basement looked like mini waterfalls.

I popped outside during a lull and the back parking area and alley were basically acting as a funnel, pushing all the water right up to the sides of the building.

I just checked a satellite map view and it looks like they’ve at least re-paved the back alley (don’t know if it drains any better but it’s clearly much darker and there’s lines painted) and the building beside it is gone and instead there’s a ton of grass. So maybe it’s better, but I’m sure they shortened the remaining life of the building by a ton.

“we cannot get out: the end comes soon we hear drums drums in the deep. They are coming”

That hat is very cunning, I think.

Person walks down the street wearing that, people know they’re not afraid of anything.

Nobody needs/wants the white liberal to speak for them, but another voice in the crowd demanding something surely can’t be a bad thing?

You poll them on policies, and suddenly everyone is a “far left extremist” for wanting safety nets and basic standards for human existence.

Former coworker kept saying he was republican, but he disagreed with them on a fundamental level about nearly every social issue, including guns.

He was all for anything and everything about collective bargaining, the workers uniting against management, but god forbid you use the “U” word.

Agreed every day about this social safety net needs expanded, that program needs better funding, more programs like this or that should exist for people in need, but once the dreaded “S” word comes out, suddenly everyone is a commie. Cause you know how socialism is actually communism and all that.

It’s okay to admit when you’re wrong, you know?

“oh a new form of power generation? Sweet! looks inside it’s making steam to spin a turbine…”

As former enlisted, I wonder if at any point while floating to the ground they thought to themselves “holy shit, I’m gonna die in a desert for pedophiles, why did I go along with this?”

At least one gets to think twice for now, but I doubt they will.
