I think the did it because that’s the platform the game Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was released on.

I believe the collar pips are based off the rank stripes on the dress uniforms of US navy officers. They appear on the shoulder boards of the white summer uniforms or the jacket of the dark blue winter uniforms. A hollow pip is the equivalent of a thin stripe, a full pip is the equivalent of a thick stripe. The thin stripes are only used for Lieutenant Junior Grade and Lieutenant Commander.

I don’t think the single hollow pip O’Brien wears in the early seasons of DS9 has any real world equivalent, though, especially considering he wore two full pips on TNG before he got retconed into a Chief Petty Officer, the only NCO we ever see in Star Trek.

Yeah, but it reminded me of the other quote.

I’m curious, what voice to people hear these lines in, the default epic male announcer voice, or the super horny female announcer alternative?

“Join the army, they said.”

“See the world, they said.”

“I’d rather be sailing!”

“Stay awhile and listen.”

I guess when you’re a star, they really do let you do it. What a slap in the face to the jury, witnesses, and prosecutors, though, who spent their time on this case and risked reprisal from MAGA extremists.

The fact that a majority of voters did not want Trump to win makes me simultaneously feel happy (that I’m not surrounded by idiots) and more depressed (that the Electoral College has screwed us AGAIN!)

A commodore is a one star flag officer. Commodore, rear admiral, vice admiral, admiral.

And that’s the small keyboard, too. An extended keyboard, with a number pad and the extra cursor movement keys, is $129.

Trump was right about one thing, we are a nation in decline, but it’s not for the reasons he’s claiming.

Counter argument: Geordi’s in a gold admiral’s uniform.

Yakuza maps have never been particularly huge. Even in the most recent game, the new map is maybe on the scale of GTA III or Vice City. Still, they manage to pack 15-20 minigames into each game’s word map, some of which involve driving or riding around the map, plus the inevitable scavenger hunts and hidden collectibles.

Ok, and what do you think the memory managers were written in?

The younger age brackets broke slightly in favor of Harris. It was the folks between mid-life crisis and retirement that broke hard for Trump.

He went through four chiefs of staff in four years last time. How many do you think this time around, more or less?

The poll worker or their family could have also been injured or killed in a police raid. They were basically SWATed via mail.

Next up: Skyrim. “Hey, you. You’re finally awake.”

GeForce 256 on my first Windows computer when I went to college. Before that, I was using motherboard graphics on a series of Macs growing up.

That’d be big if it actually pans out. Iowa wasn’t considered a battleground state, so I’m not sure anyone had it worked into a road to 270 model. (Iowa’s six electoral votes, if anyone’s curious.)
