/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

Or like any good cook, you know when, where and how long you can hold on to a hot panhandle.

I worked in a kitchen for a while as a teen with my mom who taught me everything about cooking. One of those skills is a cook's unnatural ability to withstand a lot of heat just before the point of getting burned.

My grandmother would take out loaves of bread (in a metal or glass bread pan) out of the oven with her bare hands. I don't know how she did it, but she never got burned, and also made the best grandma bread ever.

Callouses and timing .... it's the same principal as those Polynesians who can walk over hot coals. They are able to withstand a bit of pain and they know how long to hold it.

If your grandma wanted she could have been able to do a hand stand walk over hot coals .... while baking bread.

My mom would have been right next to her.

It's great to have people like this in our lives.

I do things like that and it shocks people... Until they see that I was burned.

Come to think of it I'm just dumb sometimes

Jesus.

I bow to grandma, that's downright bad ass.

I think you mean:

But yes, she was.
