Shut up Pearson, it’s mine, it’s cool AF and I’m wearing the shit outa it! You’re just jealous!

Recently resurfaced reports from 2370 show that First Maje Cullah of the Kazon-Nistrim rejected an offer of x2 MarkV Dihydrogen Monoxide replicators offered from the Damon of a stranded Ferengi Maurader in exchange for a second hand deflector shield array.

Reported first by the DeltaQ Times Maje Cullah proudly stated how he outwitted the little aliens with the big ears as they tried to con him into giving them a valuable deflator array for two worthless Dihydrogen Monoxide replicators!

The Maje stated that no longer would the Nistrim be treated like fools by these ships that the Caretaker brings to our space! Unless they offer us ways of obtaining precious Water we need we will not trade one piece of our advanced technology!

The Ferengi were said to be truly baffled by the Maje rejection of their offer! A spokesperson for the Damon speaking via subspace transmission a few weeks after the encounter to Times reporter Minji Plumdum Riki stated that the Damon initially offered just the schematics to build their own replicator and thought Maje Cullah was driving a hard bargain given the Nistrims desperate need of Water, further adding their Maurader vessel only has 2 functional water replicators however the Damon was said to have put his faith that the great material river would provide on their journey to the Gamma Quadrant wormhole and they required the deflector array parts in order to complete repairs to their damaged deflector system.

The Ferengi continued that following damage caused by the Caretaker pulling them to the DeltaQuadrant they could only obtain a max speed of warp4.3 until repairs were completed. Given their precarious situation in unknown space the Damon was wary of walking away from negotiations not knowing when they could possibly meet another species with deflector shield technology leading to the possibility of adding many years to their journey. He believed Maje Cullah was holding out for more technology such as the ships transporters and was a master negotiator however after reading the rules of acquisition cover to cover he took the bold decision to walk away from negotiations believing the Kazon would see sense sooner than later.

The source indicated that following the breakdown of talks they set course to the Gamma Quadrant and after only 3 days they encountered a very helpful Tellaxian who traded them a second hand Trabe Deflector array for 2 cases of Beetlesnuff and 1 phaserwhip.

Always trust in the great material continuum the Ferengi said as they set off on their 35year trip back to the Gamma Quadrant Wormhole.

Sean’s Party - Horseshoe Overlook 1899

Was on a 6 mile stretch of the B90 there where the speed limit goes from 40mph (where I joined)
The limit drops to 30mph close for 400yrds due to dip in road leading to concealed road and junction at school. 400yrds!!

It then goes to National speed limit for 1.5miles before returning to 40 for 1 mile approaching built up area, drop to 30 for 1mile before returning to 40mph for the rest.

It absolutely baffles me how the car behind me sat so close up my cars ass in the 30mins I couldn’t even see their bonnet in rear view mirror!

As soon as it went to national speed limit they dropped back easily quarter mile. By the time I left the second 30mph zone they were right back up my cars ass!

Why do people think it’s ok to drive slower in National speed limit zones but speed through 30mph zones?
If you’re not capable of driving acceptably within the limits why are you driving?

I was max 55/56mph in the national speed limit zone so if my math is correct they could only have been doing 39/40mph to drop back so far! They must have maintained that exact speed through the 30 zone to be right up behind me again.

35% below in a NSL zone

33% over limit in the 30 zones!

The absolute irony btw was the lady was driving a ImpactNi courtesy car! 🤦‍♂️
