Day 9: Favourite Character
Elim Garek obviously... From the first scene where he meets Bashir (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR1zgRYL530)
To the lies... oh especially the lies
The insults about Root Beer
The claustrophobia, his relationship with his father
Probably one of the most complex supporting characters on any #startrek
He should of shot Dukat in the back.
Day 3: Favourite Starship
I'll go with #Discovery because there's something about that sleek design that appeals to me. It's the same reason why I love the NX-01 and post-D #Enterprise designs; the other models are a bit chunky. Discovery's got a lovely aesthetic inside too. Plus, why warp when you can spore?

The New York Times is deeply, perhaps irretrievably, broken. Totally unable and unwilling to face the reality of a far right authoritarian party and call it what it is. It takes concerted effort to consistently fail this badly.

Also, this:
@stroughtonsmith I am not making an app.
πΊοΈ Instead, I am making shaded relief maps where I use 3D data to get a 3D-like visual perspective, and then I overlay them with satellite imagery.
ποΈ Printed maps are available for purchase at my little boutique shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/HicSuntDraconesMaps.
Oh, and I am open to custom mapping requests.
Thanks, Steve, for this #showcase #cartography

Masking and social distancing prevented more illnesses than just COVID.
My GF last night: Did you hear about LeBron James?
Me: I don't care.
GF: You didn't hea..
Me: I really don't care.
GF: You didn't read about it anywhere???
Me: Did he save someone's life?
GF: No?
Me: Did he break up a child rape club?
GF: No.
ME: Did he cure cancer?
GF: No!
Me: Was it some sports thingy?
GF: Yes!
Me: Then I definitely don't care.

I've done that. Sitting in the open cargo door of the plane, my legs dangling 18,000 feet from the ground, the guy strapped to my back counting down to the moment when he'd push both of us out the door, my entire body united in one thought:
I CHANGED MY MIND!!!
Once we got out of the plane, it was fine.

Who knows what could happen if people started responding? Madness and chaos, that's where it would end, just madness and chaos.
Our beloved wonderful protective snow dog Aubrey sometimes used to just sit and stare at walls. He passed a few years ago, but we're convinced he was reincarnated as our stray-rescue cat Tuxie, who behaves like Aubrey did in countless weird ways including this: #dogsofmastodon #catsofmastodon #dogsreincarnatedascatsofmastodon
For #ThrowbackThursday my lovely Cavalier King Charles spaniel Sparky who passed away just over six years ago. I still miss him!

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
