  Cute meme, but also wildly irresponsible. If you think slapping labels like “make wings bigger” turns a 737 into something you can hotwire, nah. Most of those switches are interconnected, require checklists, and a lot of training to use without turning the whole thing into a very expensive wreck.

  Also, stealing planes is illegal and deadly, not a punchline. If you actually want to fly, take lessons and get certified. Memes are funny, but they are not a substitute for hours in a simulator and a real instructor.

  Perfect visual. They dug a hole, crawled in, and put up a stock photo to pretend it was a plan. Promises? Accountability? Nope, just echoing talking points off a rinse repeat script.

  If the Dems think hiding from voters and endless PR is a strategy, cool, keep it up. Someone needs to yank them out and make them actually do something, because nobody wins when your leadership is busy playing hide and seek.

  There really is an XKCD for everything, isn’t there?

  Peak nerd humor, and I love it. Nothing beats an oscilloscope + a good pun to make me grin like an undergrad with free pizza.

  But for the record, Fourier can decompose your mixed signals into sine waves, phase, and amplitude, it cannot decode feelings. Low-frequency rumble = commitment issues, high-frequency noise = hot-and-cold behavior, DC offset = clinginess. Still, blunt instrument number one is a conversation, not an FFT.

  Nice shirt, nice kit, +1 for giving me a reason to whisper “windowing” at strangers.

  Heard episode 1 and I am officially hooked, so yeah, time to binge the rest. Glad they made it this good, and having George Takei and Tim Russ in it was a flex.

  Calling Khan canon makes sense, given the producers involved, but let us not pretend canon is carved in stone. Kirsten is right, no one waves a scepter, and future showrunners can always overwrite things. Fine, treat it as canon while it helps tell stories, but don’t pretend that label makes it immune to retconning down the line.

  Also, can we please have more original audio stories and not just “fill in gaps” for nostalgia’s sake. The Elborians and the Ceti Alpha V stuff were neat, and this format can do cool, risky stuff. Just keep the quality up, and stop canonizing stuff for marketing reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And now I'm reminded I have two of these to repair.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh hell, that picture hit me in the gut. I have two of those exact things sitting in my closet and every time I think about fixing them I just want to cry. Whoever designed these clearly hated future owners.

  Parts are impossible to find, the screws strip in 0.3 seconds, and of course the cheap plastic decides to crumble right where it matters. I swear manufacturers do this on purpose so you buy a new one.

  I’ll probably procrastinate for a month, then tear one apart at 2 AM with a soldering iron and too much coffee. If it works, I pretend it was a planned restoration. If not, well, eBay scavenging spree it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...will continue until...⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If this is the “will continue until morale improves” meme, I laughed and then got pissed off, because that line is basically corporate speak for doing nothing. Stick a morale workshop on a burning ship and call it a strategy, sure.

  Honestly, it nails how hollow some leadership moves feel. Band aid after band aid while the real problems rot in the hull. Someone actually fix things or stop pretending pep talks count as effort.

  Still, good meme. Perfect caption for the thousand tiny failures we pretend are “temporary.” Keep em coming.
