Miles O'Brien
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 believe their comment was in reference to this.
So basically, yes. Kill everyone they can.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Pakistan claims it has ‘credible intelligence’ India will strike within 36 hoursEnglish25·1 day agoI only learned about hostilities between the two countries after about 28-30 years on the planet (thanks, US edumacation system) and I still don’t think I understand why they don’t get along…
To any who are stuck in their countries as their governments choose the stupidest possible actions, you have my sympathies, and I wish you well in the coming days.

patternspeople.It’s the extended family that’s the problem… Also my parents. And in-laws.
Basically my wife and I are the only sane ones.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphonesEnglish378·4 days agoI tested this with my Facebook app in 2013. Found a Spanish radio station, set my phone down next to it overnight, and for several weeks I was seeing ads exclusively in Spanish. Deleted the app the first day I saw them in Spanish, and deleted my account not long after that.
My wife still uses them after 5 years together and me pointing out all the times it’s obviously eavesdropping on us, and she’s even been creeped out by it before. Still uses it…
Unless my microphone and camera have physical switches, I will assume they are being used. Those little “your camera and microphone are off” icons in the corner of the screen don’t reassure me.

Can’t wait to hear how this is actually what strong men do from my relatives.

Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•Pentagon prepared briefing for Musk on top secret U.S. weapons for China WarEnglish131·4 days agoThey’d rather look even more incompetent with classified info than just admit whatever the real reason is or make up something fake to cover.
Every time something major breaks and it seems like everyone involved is extremely incompetent, this is what I assume.
They knew exactly what they were doing. It was intentional from start to finish. They just don’t want to admit that, because then they would have to admit the real reason, and that thought terrifies them.

Bitch ass car peddlers trying to criminalize my natural way of moving…
I have everything I need to build an enclosure for my cheap-ass laser. I have things I want to do with the laser when I can use it without smoking up the house. I have not started on it yet.
I have everything I need to make the rc planes I have been designing. Its all sitting on a shelf waiting for me to do my thing.
One of the things has been waiting for me to do my thing since before I moved.
I’ll get to it.
Eventually.
Maybe.

Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto Greentext@sh.itjust.works•Anon always gets his manEnglish15·6 days agoYes. Yes it is.
Personal experience.
I have a 750w inverter plugged into my 12v plug, and it is absolutely more than enough to run the little 500w single plate burner I have.
I have used them together but I don’t do it outside of camping when it’s too rainy to use a fire. It takes forever to cook bacon eggs and pancakes on a single burner.

Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.
Make no mistake, this is yet another message, “we do not care about you or your struggles”. Listen when they tell you they won’t protect you.
Miles O'Brien@startrek.websiteto World News@lemmy.world•Norway launches scheme to lure top researchers away from US universitiesEnglish3·7 days agoA plan or program to accomplish a goal is a scheme, whether it’s beneficial or not.
Handing out flyers that properly define what socialism and communism are with the intent of educating people that they aren’t the boogeyman is still passing out propaganda, even if it’s beneficial and correct.
So yes, scheme is appropriate.

Not anymore.
It’s getting harder to shop at places that don’t bend the knee.
Thats not a challenge to get more places to bend so we don’t have a choice, I would happily never spend money in the United States again if I could help it.
Every argument I have ever heard boils down to “in my specific use-case because of X Y Z and Purple, all the benefits of wired are irrelevant” and the people espousing such opinions don’t at all take into consideration that other people exists and their specific use-case is not at all widely experienced.
“My tinnitus means I can’t distinguish high tones well” okay buddy, but how many other people enjoy distinct highs?
“I move around too much so Bluetooth is the only practical solution” okay my friend, but many people either don’t have that problem, or they’ve found a solution.
To continue with the argument of “the market will self-regulate and people wouldn’t buy that brand anymore so they would never do it again”
Okay but how many people died, how many people are suffering long-term effects, and what’s stopping them from adding a different deadly thing to our food?
