“Girl boss?”

She’s an anti-vaxxer election denier, who supports a fascist dictator wanna-be and compared herself to a Holocaust victim in a tweet.

“Girl boss” isn’t the right term for her.

I’m inclined to disagree with at least some of this. Until we replace first-past-the-post, parties have to address spoilers like Stein, or else they’ll lose elections - not to the spoilers, but to the other major party.

Just like Gore lost to Bush in 2000, largely because of spoiler candidates.

Don’t get me wrong: third parties deserve to run, and should have a chance, but they won’t until we fix our election system; and campaigns will continue to have to face and attack parties that might draw votes. RCV may not be perfect, but it would address this issue

Haha! Yes! Then there’d be no one to stand in the way of my giant space laser extortion scheme!

Curse you, Superman!

I’d love to have a talking, horse-sized spider as a friend. 🙁

Gravel. Aquarium gravel, to be specific.

It looks nothing like caviar. Not even the color is right, and caviar comes in many colors. Maybe caviar is the new “fingers” of deep learning generated art.

It’s Tobasco for us. If I use a hot sauce without vinegar, I add a tbsp of pickle juice (which is just vinegar anyway). It needs that sour.

To be fair, they are designed to work with all kinds of species, and samples and things. You don’t want it to delete someone’s liver just because they haven’t been on a starship before

Sure… but the meme is about Ransom, who I assume has used a transporter once or twice before.

Ooooh, that’s a great idea. When making Bloody Marys from scratch (almost scratch; I don’t hand-make the vegetable juice base), Worcestershire sauce is mandatory.

Or maybe you could benefit from a change in your definition of “meal”. Broaden your horizons!

Like I said, Bloody Mary mix is basically gazpacho, which most people consider a meal.

I don’t play the stock market. Is a 3%/1% drop a “plummet”? It immediately rebounded before the end of the day.

I mean, don’t get me wrong; I’m all for the stock crashing, but looking at the quarterly picture you can’t even see the blip in the normal chaos of the stock. It’s as volatile as bitcoin.

Hey! I have a bowl of hard candy on my coffee table! What, you don’t like hard candy‽

If it was good enough for grandma, it’s good enough for me. 😤

True level!

Naw, dude. A decent Bloody Mary should be a reasonable substitute for a small meal.

Think about it: you’re basically dinking a gazpacho, with a shot of vodka added. The additions flesh it out with something you can sink your teeth into.

It sounds like alcoholism to have one of these instead of lunch (on a weekend), but the alcohol content is tiny compared to all of the other stuff you’re ingesting. It’s like having a glass of wine with your borcht.

Also, you mentioned having it in the airport. Bloody Mary mix tastes different, and far better, at altitude. Have your next one in the air; you won’t get all of the trimmings, either. I sometimes ask for a virgin Bloody Mary just because of how good it tastes. Something about how high altitude changes our sense of taste; there’s an article about it on the intertubes somewhere.

Yeah, looks pretty normal. A good Bloody Mary makes a decent meal all by itself.

Buy what’s in the plastic bulb, do you think? Don’t tell me it’s a little shot of beer; that’d be an insultingly tiny amount of beer.

Part of me wistfully mourns for the loss of edifices like this, caused by computers. Another part recognizes that those guys would probably have given their left nut to get out of those desks and in front of a computer.

Hmmm. Something is off, or I found the wrong tickers.

Those pattern buffer filters aren’t getting any better over the decades, are they?

You know, they should not even let the doors on shuttle craft open in dock, and just beam people in and out of them. That’d solve an entire other vector of infection.

The problem with Star Trek is, and always has been, that writers keep making it harder every episode for later authors to find ways of introducing crisis like these. Every solution closes a plot device door.

Star Trek has a serious Eagles Flying The Ring To Mt Doom problem.

The water thought you were so stupid, it left.
