If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I used to work for an association for engineers. The problem with a people mover pneumatic tube is that, given a sufficient distance, the people would arrive completely squished (the comparison I heard was "strawberry jelly").

She's already Aeryndynamic.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I can't remember which story I read it in, but I have a vague memory of a spaceship where the computer calculates a maneuver, and the dialog goes something like:
Crewman1: "Wait, that requires 50 gees acceleration!"
Crewman2: "We'd end up like strawberry jam!"
Computer: "Yes?"
Crewman1: "And the radiation flux would be [some very high amount]!"
Crewman2: "Strawberry jam on toast!"
Computer: "Shall I proceed?"
eta: I think it was one of John M. Ford's Star Trek novels, How Much For Just the Planet?

Relevant to Buffistae interests:
"If you feel nostalgic for the days when Gerard Way appeared on Tiger Beat, when AIM away messages with melodramatic lyrics described your mood, and when Hot Topic still had the red logo, there’s the perfect music festival for you. One that beats any Warped Tour lineup. When the When We Were Young festival poster was shared on Twitter, it felt too good to be true; some even thought it was a practical joke, or a Fyre Festival 2.0. But thankfully, it’s real!
On Saturday, October 22, 2022 in Las Vegas, you can see My Chemical Romance, Paramore, The All-American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, AFI, Avril Lavigne, Jimmy Eat World, Bright Eyes, Hawthorne Heights, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and other 2000s (and current day) emo favorites."

Thanks. I've still got the book around here somewhere.
I liked his version of Klingons a lot. I was very sad that the franchise went a different way with them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Bands that made me feel old when they were new are making nostalgic appearances. I'll be crumbling to dust now.
Good for the Linda Lindas, regardless!

At least Gerard Way is only four years younger than me. I always remember him saying he was “old as trees”.
