Buffistas

I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Kirk and Spock can see the documents, but not the rest of the crew.
The Red Shirts can't see the documents, which predict their demise, but the rest of the crew can.
Spock can make some parts of the information visible only to officers, and can make some parts of the documents, such as the ones that say "The Red Shirts are going to die," invisible to only the Red Shirts.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ginger wins. Quick, give her command of a starship.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

only 11 and I am HUNgry. I have healthy frozen meal options in the freezer, but am craving something else. Not sure what. Probably a fried food sampler platter, but that may not be the best idea. thoughts? suggestions?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What are they not getting?

Unfortunately, as much as I beg, no one will give me that much detail. And the context that keeps being sent around to flesh out my insufficient documentation is 80% inapplicable to my system. So I consider *it* confusing, not me.

Maybe people aren't sure which subset of users they belong to?

No, it's not even that. I mean, the real life examples are so simple, that's part of why I feel like going into that detail is condescending (basically, the new users aren't allowed to see the pay details of the old users, and vice versa). Boom. End of story.

The temptation to "accidentally" slip Ginger's explanation in is quite tempting. I already have "genre geek" branded on my forehead (my boss won't even use the phrase "twilight zone" without *literally* nodding in my direction), so what would be the harm?

Punishingly Intricate

Handful of nuts? Nuts and yogurt are my go to snacks. The power of protein!

But, that's assuming you have these options available.

Star Trek is probably the most mainstream geek.

Do it!

Sometimes you really do have to restate what should be obvious because people get so tied up about details that aren't really important.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had some peanut M&Ms as my 11 o'clock snack.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm eating a salad as my 11 o'clock lunch. And, can I just say, I hate having the first lunch period of the day. Lunch at 10:45 is just wrong.
