Whatever the fuck I feel like, damn.

Nosey ass search engine…

Lower Decks has become a comfort show for me and as soon as I finish it, I want to start over.

I say “trap” but I don’t kill anything, and they don’t die.

It’s just a sacrificial post I keep near the wood I want them to leave alone.

They’re alive and well in their 2x4s

I usually have to make carpenter bee traps/lures so they leave the exposed wood around my property alone. They’re going to collapse the porch at this rate.

The traps are basically just sections of 2x4 with little starter holes drilled here and there. Idk why but the chonkers seem to like those more.

So far, no traps this year.

I haven’t even seen any hornets or daubers

There’s a guy I know of who keeps bees, and while there are some people nearby who get pissy at him every time they see a bee, most people love how well all the flowers and gardens grow nearby and understand why they do.

This past year I went to someone’s house nearby and their tree was blooming, but didn’t look nearly as good as usual. And then I noticed I couldn’t hear any bees.

When that tree has flowers, it’s filled with so many bees you can hear it buzzing from the road about 300m away.

Now silence.

I haven’t seen a bee around where I live in over a year. And I’m outside a lot in the spring and summer. Usually I get a few buzzing over me when I’m out in my hammock, but I have yet to hear one this year. I’m hoping they’re just “sleeping in” a bit but I fear I already know the truth…

People.

It’s people.

Hey, you.

YEAH YOU! WITH THE FACE ON YOUR HEAD!

YOU are a FULLY FLEDGED HUMAN BEING with VALID FEELINGS and DIFFICULTIES!

YOU are BEAUTIFUL and HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF GREAT STRENGTH whether you REALIZE IT OR NOT

YOU can FACE THE DAY ahead and NOBODY CAN STOP YOU unless you LET THEM

If someone wants to HATE YOU FOR EXISTING, then you have to EXIST AS HARD AS POSSIBLE because they aren’t going to change, but YOU DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PETTY SHITHEADS

GO GET EM, TIGER

That place is a monument to mankind’s arrogance.

Never ask a man his salary, a woman her age, or a transporter chief what’s in the pattern buffer.

Beware that Nvidia cards have driver issues, they’re fixable but if you do have an Nvidia card, I’d just use the built in graphics chip for trying out Linux at first.

Well, shit. Extra work for me. I knew I should have waited for the AMD series to be in stock…

I know just enough about Linux to know I should have been getting into it when I graduated over a decade ago.

I also know just enough to know it can do pretty much everything I need, as long as I’m willing to switch to a Linux alternative with similar capabilities.

However, I am Linux-dumb and deeply set into my windows, to the point where I’m not sure I have the technical savvy to switch.

From my understanding, Linux works very well, as long as you know what you’re doing.

I’m sure I’m overestimating the learning curve but it’s still intimidating.

People in these comments act like the computer will just stop working.

They had to go to reddit to get the screenshot. That is traffic. Not to mention all the people who see this post and the hop in over to leave a comment or read others.

Don’t give them traffic, don’t go there for the screenshot.

If you honestly think this isn’t giving them traffic, you’re ignorant or naive.

O’Neill, blowing up a fleet:

Carter, blowing up a sun:

McKay blowing up 4/5 of a solar system:

Mckay, almost blowing up an entire alternate parallel reality:

Mckay and Carter, using nanites:

All of them, doing all of this whenever they feel like:

“Those torpedoes are cute. Got any naquadria?”

Kevin Uxbridge:

Every time I see a screenshot from there: “why are we giving them traffic for the screenshot?”

I just want neat metal ship models without having to pay $100+ for out of production stuff…

Perhaps even one in a bottle.

From my understanding, though I can’t pinpoint why I think this, it’s “ship #1 orient based however they feel like, any follow up ships orient accordingly to ships already in-system”

Had that happen on Amazon and ebay multiple times

I always tell them I’ll only increase it one star and the reason for the change will be the first thing anyone sees in the review, even above the original review.

So far I’ve only had one taker.

I’ll die on this hill.

Janeway made the practical call, the one that maximized survival for the entire crew.

As one entity on a starship with limited manpower and no resupply guaranteed, they need all the people they can get.

Yes, neelix and kess weren’t going to be on board originally. That is irrelevant at the time of his Tuvixation. He’s there, and they can’t afford to lose him, regardless of how atrocious his leeola root stew is.

Not to mention that tuvok played a very important role for Janeway, one that I don’t believe tuvix could handle. He was the one who reminded her of the “proper” thing to do that follows protocol. He’s the cool head. The logical one who remains calm when everyone else loses their shit. Chakotay isn’t on that level. Tuvix was too emotional.

Janeway made the right call.
