Oh gotcha. Yeah wasn’t even thinking about that. Good joke.

I should have realized, since there’s an old joke in my family my parents would make that when you forgot to turn on the burner, you were cooking with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Effect. Something about it being possible for all the atoms of the food to spontaneously change energy states, just incredibly unlikely.

Was there a Breaking Bad / Star Trek Disco crossover episode? Who’s Heisenberg?

If we had the Enterprise NCC 1701, no bloody A, B, C, or D in orbit, you would be able to see it with the naked eye. The thing is 288 m long. Even in geosynchronous orbit you’d still be barely able to see it.

If you’re referring to pretty much any of the classes of starships once TNG starts, those ships would be clearly visible in a standard low to high orbit.

I don’t know how to describe it. It’s just different than their normal smell

I can smell when a woman is pregnant. I’ve shocked several friends by congratulating them before they even took a test.

Derail Valley Simulator won’t let you drive that exact steam engine, but it simulates Diesel, Steam, and an Electric engine quite satisfactorily. To the point that I can’t use the steam engines without blowing them up accidentally.

The bottom two together look like Vampire Elton John now, thanks.

I was a kid at the time, but I’m pretty sure we used kerosene. It was red.

CAVEAT: This does NOT apply to hornets, particularly the ones that boil out of the ground. Run for the fucking hills.

I’ve only encountered those fuckers once in my life. They made a giant nest in a rather large sand and gravel pile on my parent’s property. After a year or so of them being there, an older cousin of mine had the idea to try to take them out with slingshots. I suggested napalm.

We compromised. We whipped up a batch of improvised napalm with a bunch of kerosene and a styrofoam cooler, poured that down the main entrance of the hive extremely carefully, and lit it on fire. We then spent the next few hours taking potshots at most of the hornets that tried to flee while on fire. We made certain to kill the queen when she finally emerged, though I don’t think she was long for the world anyway. She couldn’t fly, and had burning “napalm” covering half of her. We still made sure to throw a large stone on her.

We did this specifically because everyone in my family is allergic to bee stings, so it was kinda an act of war for them to move into that part of our property.

I’ve never started a food company, but I have helped to write several restaurants origin stories. While the teams I was on never outright lied, we certainly embellished certain parts and didn’t discuss others.

For instance, one “mom and pop” restaurant that we opened had the backstory that, “John XXXX came from China in 1984, and tried pizza for the first time in the US. He loved it so much that he taught himself how to make pizza dough to open a Chinese Pizzaria.”

All of that is technically mostly true except for him trying pizza for the first time in the US. In his words China doesn’t have real pizza, and the US did/does it correctly. I helped him learn to make pizza dough, but I don’t think that actually matters. What we left out is that John owns a ton of very valuable property in China, so he wasn’t trying to get rich, he was just having fun.

“You want an overreaction? FUCK YOU AND YOUR CLIENT, I QUIT!”

Leaving it.

Unfortunately, if one were to invest a single gram of plutonium, not only are you ill equipped to actually properly harness even a small percentage of the heat energy it will produce, it also qualifies as a heavy metal, so there is every probability that whatever you do actually ingest before the chunk of plutonium exits your rear end will end up in your bones, thereby irradiating you further than the original gram of plutonium irradiated you as it passed through your digestive tract, mostly unobstructed, provided one doesn’t have a previous bowel obstruction.

All of that is to say that it probably tastes spicy metallic. Especially if you have fillings in your mouth. It’s energetic enough to give a similar sensation in your teeth that a piece of aluminum foil does when it touches your fillings.

Might be. I guess I haven’t nerded out on Star Trek enough recently

“I’ll protect you, fair maiden!”

“Sorry, neither.”

We could create and detonate about a ton of antimatter. That should be enough to crack the planet again.

Love me a Miranda or Nebula class. I just think they should go faster than they do because double the nacelles
