Re: Overcoming/breaching hypothetical Trump wall.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I will continue to fight the good fight, simply out of principle, haha, but it's an uphill battle. I find it hard to believe anyone really thinks a mighty wall is imminent, but, it's for all intents and purposes a religion to certain people. I highly doubt the funds wil...

Re: Overcoming/breaching hypothetical Trump wall.
Odds are it'll never come to that. Trump will tell Homeland Security to go with the low-bidder and/or a company he owns, who will then not just half-arse but quarter -arse the construction process, and the resulting wall will be falling to bits by the midterms. Assuming of course that someone doesn...

Overcoming/breaching hypothetical Trump wall.
Greetings again everyone. Still pretty much the occasional lurker here. Guess I'm just a weird lurker by nature, hehe. Anyway, here lately I've been doing some trolling on some right wing websites, and surprise surprise this Trump wall business is a routine topic. Anyway, I recently interjected myse...

Re: The Doctor encounters the Matrix.
I tend to think the Doctor would do nothing...what with his knowledge that Great and Bountiful human empires are forthcoming from this...hiccup. He would, of course, defend himself and any of his companions. And let's be honest, if he can handle Cybermen and Daleks, he'd handle the shit out of the M...

Re: The 2016 US Election (Part III)
Totally anecdotal I know, but my gf, black and 38, is an ardent Bernie supporter. In fact, almost everyone I know was for Bernie. But, like minded individuals tend to associate with like minded individuals, and so, sadly, I still expect my state to go Trump. Me living in Kansas and all.

Re: Ed Asner on 9/11 - Building 7
Good luck trying to change your friend's mind. I've got a good buddy that's been into this 9/11 "Truther" nonsense for years, and it is truly annoying. It used to be inevitable, when hanging out drinking with him, that this topic would come up, and we'd go round and round in circles debati...

Re: Obama shields torturers permanently
Permanently is a long time. Ideologies change. Systems change. Public opinion changes. Sometimes it takes a fucking long time, and a lot of people suffer in the meanwhile, but we live in a world where slavery is gone, racial minorities and women can vote, and in some place gay people can get marrie...

Re: Obama shields torturers permanently
Nothing will ever come of this. During the Cold War, we bought into the notion that those "damn Commies" wanted to conquer the world, and destroy our way of life, and so, if certain unpleasantries needed to be undertaken by the gov't to prevent that, then so be it. And after 9/11, well shi...

Knives? Useful tools, though I'd ban all these fancy 'combat' ones. Ok, I was gonna stay out of this one and then I read this and my brain nearly exploded. We're gonna start penalizing people with a few extra bones lying around that want a Strider? I'm reasonably certain that most knife related ass...

Err-those were examples of them being endangered by their weapons hitting the target . The antimatter being onboard is a danger no matter where it is currently parked, that's one of the drawbacks of antimatter, but those were situations where the ship was endangered by photorps deployed as intended...

Re: Why did we not see anti-matter podes used weapon more of
Note that Starfleet ships are already occasionally endangered by their own weapons as it is (BoBW though that wasn't photorps, Booby Trap, New Ground) and photorps generally seem to do the job so they might be wary of deploying higher-yield versions. For sure. I mean, I'm surprised anyone in starfl...

Re: Why did we not see anti-matter podes used weapon more of
An anti-matter pod lobbed out of a starship would be a horribly inefficient use of antimatter, against a vessel with shields anyway. The only matter the antimatter would react with would be the pod's shell. Photon torpedoes are supposed to combine their antimatter/matter payloads in the most efficie...

Re: If you could have only one hand gun..
I used to own a S&W 686 Plus (the 7 shot version) with 4" barrel. Great gun. Action like butter and a real tack driver. Only sold it because I was broke and needed some cash. I'd get another one in a heartbeat, though, if I ever want another revolver. I also used to own a SIG P220, and damn...

I certainly don't want to be all doom and gloom. I am, in fact, guardedly optimistic that ultimately we'll put our collective heads together and figure this shit out as a species. Nevertheless, that being said, I think there is the potential, and I stress potential, for some really bad things to bef...
