Respectfully disagree. Quantum Torpedoes. If the Borg had been able to stick to their schedule, they would have shown up and the Federation would not have Quantum Torpedoes. And they would have lost, bad. Q accelerated the schedule, and the forewarning gave the Federation enough time to develop Borg capable weaponry.

Found out recently that "goon" has a new definition I wasn't aware of. Hey kids. Some advice. If you want slang? That's fine. Get yourself some slang. Get your own words and make your own definitions and make yourself some slang. Don't steal older slang and redefine it, ok? Because if you do, then any misunderstandings are on you. Thanks for attending my TED talk.

No offense intended. 😊 BTW, we did our best at the party to do it justice. Watched videos of how to properly prepare it. Served it (hopefully correctly) with thin bread and butter and potatoes. But it does remain a fact that the moment we popped the can open, my friends wife started gagging and she had to go inside. She was 30 or 40 yards away. Those first few moments are brutal! I got a little of the juice on my sleeve of my jacket, and had to leave it outside in the rain for a week before the smell went away. It wasn't too bad once you got into the vibe of it, but to honestly enjoy it? I salute you, good sir. If you consider this a waste, perhaps OP would consider something more correctly designed for this effect. Deer lure or skunk extract should do it, I think.

Surströmming. A buddy of mine had a "gross foods" party and that was the highlight of the evening. Surströmming. We opened the can and his wife gagged from about 30-40 yds away. It's that bad. Buy a few cans, and whenever he starts up? Get as near to him in your backyard as you can, and open up a can. Results guaranteed. Go watch a few youtube videos of people trying to cope with Surströmming and you'll see what I mean.

Yeah you absolutely do need to be careful. Honestly, I wouldn't do anything janky to him at work. No anon letters, no hijinks, no nothing. Contact a divorce lawyer immediately. Also if you can, hire a private investigator to get some evidence. Then blast him in court. Besides, you don't want him to get fired. He'll need that job to keep paying you alimony.

Ioniq 5. I absolutely love love love this car. But the odds are 1 in 10 that the ICCU will die on you. And the repair stories are \*nightmares\*. Some people waiting months to get a fix, no loaner car, and dealerships that do not care. If Hyundai would get their shit together and FIX the thing? I'd buy one tomorrow. But the 26 models are still crapping out. It's a shame. It's a lovely car otherwise. But no way no how am I buying one until they address this. It's a charging unit, guys!

Men are encouraged to not be that way. Instead we're supposed to be "strong" and not show any of that stuff. I was that way my whole life. Until my Dad died. That broke (or maybe fixed?) something in my brain. It was too much to deal with, I think. I was there with him in his house while he died from cancer. It wrecked me. After that pretty much anything would give me a case of the tears. And I mean anything! For months after that I'd get leaky over a stupid insurance commercial, if it was pulling at your heart strings even a little. I'm not exaggerating. It calmed down after a while but never totally went away. A beautiful song, a sad scene in a movie, a parent playing in a field with their kid. A dog when it is happy and smiles at you. It'll still get me. I actually like myself better this way, feeling things and responding to those feelings. I think you can only be shut down emotionally for so long. It's tiring. It's a shame something that terrible had to happen before I got there, but I'm happy I'm here now.
