Senior Chief Petty Officer. Starfleet is in my blood, and I’ve spent my entire adult life in service to boldly going.

Keiko and Molly are my favorite humans, but Transporter Room 3 will always be my favorite.

Just don’t ask who what’s in the pattern buffer.

  • No, it’s not possible they’re allergic to the base, as they would be allergic to their own body. Your body produces it, and you ingest it in plenty of other foods.

    But hey, I’m glad you’re not a scientist, and I don’t have to hope since you’re confidently making assertions with no knowledge base to pull from, like a shitty person might do.


  • Personal anecdote from cooking for years for a variety of people of varying intelligence, background, and countries:

    Most people claim it gives them headaches and nausea.

    They “know” this because they feel it every time they eat (american) “Chinese food”

    Not a single one has ever had either symptom after eating my cooking that has a little sprinkled in.

    Now, I have tried to prove a point to some by informing them (many hours after the food, and asking about how they feel) that they in fact ingested MSG without issue and had no symptoms, usually to rounds of spontaneous nausea and headaches that had apparently gone unnoticed for hours until just then.

    It could be that ingesting a shit-load of greasy, oily, carbs and over-eating that caused their nausea and headaches when they gorged themselves on “Chinese” food, but no, they know it’s the MSG.






  • was legitimately stoned for the rest of the day. Like, could barely control myself.

    Okay, seriously. Does this actually happen?

    I hit a 84% thc vape from Michigan today, and after about 5 minutes felt nothing. 3 8 second drags until the vape auto-shutoff each time, and I feel it for about 30-45 minutes.

    If I want to be stoned literally all day, I have to be hitting the vape at least every 30-90 minutes depending on how hard I hit it.

    I usually don’t even feel edibles until I’ve had 30-50mg.

    I’m genuinely curious how much it takes for other people to get high, and how they experience it. I feel like I’m missing out.





  • The white brick at the bottom is for detecting large objects (cars) and is either controlling a traffic signal, or is being used to count traffic going through that spot.

    An intersection near me uses them to switch the lights at an intersection where traffic almost never comes from, so a timed light is unnecessary, but important traffic still comes from that direction.



  • Only if you participate in an instance that tracks such things.

    I know startrek.website tracks individual comments and posts, but not overall. So I would have to go back and check each individual comment and add up the total if I cared to find out how many points I have accumulated.

    I know some don’t track any at all.

    I know lemmy.world tracks at least comment votes.

    I understand that a basic point system allows people to sort comments a little easier, but it really can reinforce echo chambers.

    I am guilty of often sorting posts with dozens of comments by top vote ranking, but I try to just do oldest to newest comments.
