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.

  • I’m sure that would have looked great to all the gathered men who were still alive.

    “oh yeah, the elves showed up and one of them went up to the crack of doom with Isildur after his father died, and the elf came back alone and wouldn’t tell us what happened inside. Something’s fucky. We better prepare for an attack from the elves.”

    Whether anyone actually threw hands immediately or not, men and elves would have a far shittier relationship after that.

    The question is, did more suffering occur because Elrond didnt do this? We can’t know.

  • My wife is super bad at not volunteering information.

    She’s partially deaf and a few other issues that make phone conversations hard, so she often asks me to sit in and listen to explain anything she didn’t catch, and make sure she heard everything correctly.

    I’m often making the neck cut “stop talking/mute mic” motion to get her to stop saying things the other people don’t need to hear.

    For instance, she quit a previous job over an employee basically stalking her while she was on the property, and screaming in her face over any imagined sleight. This employee was a problem with others as well, but who you know is more important than how you work in some places so nothing was ever done.

    The other places she interviews with don’t need the whole back story of why she quit. “Safety concerns” is completely correct, and leaves out the possibility that the new job might think you don’t work well with others. She does. The other guy didn’t.

    So every time she starts telling the potential employer about it, I cut her off to remind her of that.

    I’m very much the “ALL my information is need to know and you don’t need to know” kind of person when it comes to things like that, and she just kind of vomits words all over the place when she feels uncomfortable.
