I started to render up examples to upload the FJ ships to thingiverse, but something I should also get up there is my regula/office kit you can use to build either configuration or your own.

Everyone says the first season of DS9 is rough, but I'm watching "Past Prologue" and it is, without hyperbole, peak Trek.

I am so frequently wrong about things.
I don't think Chuck Schumer is great at his job, but the front pages of ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, and CNN right now have the story that Democrats tried to end the shut down and Republicans rejected it.

Wonder if you could do a West Wing-influenced comedy about staff in Congress RN.
Bradley Whitford-type: "The President's new plan is single-payer healthcare."
Allison Janney-type: "That's our plan."
BWt: "Not anymore. Now we hate it."
AJt: "So we're stopping it?"
BWt: "Of course not. It's our plan."

As someone who's never been to a Panera Bread before, how do you sell tomato soup and sell grilled cheese, but cut the grilled cheese horizontally? How do you fuck up that bad?

If all this other shit wasn't bad enough, George Lucas was right.
I still cannot believe that some of the most politically relevant movies of the recent era are the damn Star Wars prequels.

I believe in a corporate death penalty and believe if a company's policies kill or allow a person to be killed, the CEO and one shareholder should get 2 in the back of the head.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Apparently, they're releasing Mechwarrior5:Clans DLC for Tukayyid. I have high expectations for it; these guys have got "throw waves of metal at the player until they lose the will to live" down pat.
