Holy shit that description reads like the journalist who "got ptsd" from shooting a rifle...

It creates a shockwave, and since the big boom is a big fireball, it uses up all the oxygen.

In other words, "This bomb explodes, big BIGGER"

I'm being hyperbolic for comedic effect, but I found it funny how they worded it.

Sweet!

I've never been able to get into them, but I'm definitely buying this as a gift for someone.

Idk how hard water coding is, but I imagine it's hard since good looking water seems rare.

That is some damn fine looking water

Excellent shots.

Shhhhhhhhh.

She and Molly are just visiting Bajor. Nothing to worry about.

.... In the MIDDLE of my BACKSWING???

You should come down to transporter room 3, the pattern buffer has something you'd find interesting....

I felt something die inside me when I realized "display settings" was going way too far into technical territory for most people.

All I was trying to do is tell someone why their screen shuts off "so quickly" after two minutes.

I had to send them step by step pictures with big red circles.

And this was someone I had thought to be intelligent enough to figure something out, and tech-minded enough to know what I was talking about. Turns out they just like buying whatever fancy new gadgets they see in commercials.

In my 30s, and while I've heard "let's 86 the _____" numerous times, I honestly wouldn't have connected that to "86 cherries" on an order.

I've worked in food, fast and fancy, and nobody would say "86 cherries" instead of "no cherries". Clarity is conducive to a smoothly flowing kitchen.

Here's the one that convinced my dad that connecting everything is bad:

Your smart fridge knows what's inside and knows you just added a 12 pack of soda and donuts to the shopping list. They sell that data to a bunch of companies, including your insurance company. They know you have diabetes.

Your insurance rates just went up for the fifth time this year because your insurance company knows what you're eating.

And it's a good thing you don't drink beer or your car insurance would have gone up 'due to increased risk factors.' too bad you wanted to buy a new car this year.

Not only can you not afford it now, the price went up because they know you want a car. I'm sure they would make a payment deal with you though.

And every company will know all about the deal, the beer, the donuts, and all it took was sending money to whatever company had the information, and they were more than happy to sell it.

The more we allow companies to freely operate like this without regulation and without proper punishment for breaking the rules, we will continue sliding toward the hellscape of Ferenginar. For the non trekkies, it's a hyper-capitalist species of profit-driven assholes.

Nationalist Christians?

Hmm.... We should come up with a word for that.

How about Nat-Cs?

They wear their title proudly. Openly admit it in the streets.

And yet for some reason, are allowed to continue to operate freely.

Our country goes to war for less.

Edit: A friend of mine got this shoved in their mailbox today

Totally not domestic terrorists...
